The Texas Supreme Court affirmed that landowners have ownership rights to the groundwater beneath their property and can bring takings claims against the Edwards Aquifer Authority for overly restrictive permits based on historical use that deprive landowners of all beneficial use of that groundwater. While groundwater regulation is important, it cannot result in uncompensated takings and must consider all relevant factors as outlined in the Texas Water Code, not just historical use. The court recognized that landowners own groundwater in place like oil and gas, and the aquifer authority's permit restrictions in this case went too far and constituted a regulatory taking requiring compensation.

Generally Development is the gradual growth of a situation that becomes more advanced and strong than previous one.
1) Climate change is the defining human development issue that threatens to undermine efforts to reduce poverty and limit human progress by eroding freedoms and choices.
2) The impacts of climate change are already being felt disproportionately by the world's poorest populations through increased extreme weather events and water scarcity.
3) Failure to adequately address climate change through ambitious emissions reductions and investments in adaptation could reverse generations of progress on human development goals for hundreds of millions of the world's poorest people.
TOWARDS MORE COMMUNITY-ORIENTED AND COLLABORATIVE PLANNING FOR ALASKA NATIVE ...civej
The document summarizes research on planning processes for climate change adaptation in Alaska Native Villages (ANVs). It finds that planning is generally initiated by outside entities and lacks community participation. Interviews with 153 ANV residents and reviews of community plans reveal disconnects between plans and community priorities. The research suggests a more collaborative approach that engages ANV residents could improve planning. Building social connections within and between ANVs and external groups may help foster a shared vision and enable more effective adaptation planning. Overcoming historical divisions and the legacy of external control presents challenges but could make planning more inclusive and useful.

Social capital report of norms, networks, and trust [low res]URRworkshop
This document summarizes a report on the role of social capital in community resilience. It finds that social capital, defined as networks, norms and social trust, plays a fundamental role in community resilience. Case studies from Nepal, China and Myanmar show how social capital helped communities cope with disasters by supporting each other. While the Red Cross has implicitly built social capital through volunteerism and community projects, tools to assess social capital could be strengthened. The report recommends sensitizing staff on social capital, conducting more thorough vulnerability assessments, enhancing baseline surveys to measure social capital, and streamlining tools to better reinforce community resilience over the long term.

Asset Based Community Develpement :Towards a Sustainable Approach.Ar. Salma Akter Surma
Asset-based community development (ABCD) focuses on community strengths rather than needs. ABCD identifies five key community asset categories: individuals, associations, institutions, physical assets, and connections between people. Mapping these assets helps communities recognize their inherent capacities and mobilize for change by building on existing skills and resources. Traditional needs-based approaches risk disempowering communities by focusing only on deficiencies. In contrast, ABCD starts from an asset perspective, believing communities can best create positive change by recognizing their inherent strengths.

Earth System Challenges and a Multi-layered Approach for the Sustainable Deve...Ruben Zondervan
http://sdg.earthsystemgovernance.org/sdg/publications/earth-system-challenges-and-multi-layered-approach-sustainable-development-goals
Key messages of Policy Brief #1:
1. The Earth system has entered a new phase in which human actions are threatening the planet's life support systems and drawing down the planet's natural capital in an unsustainable manner. It is essential that the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) reconfirm the commitments of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) focused on human wellbeing by alleviating poverty, enhancing food and water security, and improving health. But the SDGs must also address issues of Earth system governance and the challenge of redirecting unsustainable practices of individuals, groups, and countries worldwide.
2. The way forward is to adopt a multi-layered approach encompassing:
Global goals to maintain planetary scale processes in a safe, just and sustainable space.
Individual goals and targets framed in such a way that they can serve as focal points for a wide range of stakeholders.
Targets framed in global terms but - where possible and relevant - tailored at regional, national, local, or corporate/organizational levels to provide a menu of options allowing actors with different needs and capabilities to select those best suited for them.
Indicators and monitoring capabilities with the capacity to track change and report on progress.
3. The formulation of the SDGs offers rich opportunities to bridge gaps among sectoral silos by framing goals that are cross-cutting and integrative in nature and, if achieved, meet current needs articulated in the MDGs while ensuring that future generations can meet their own needs continuously. A well-designed performance review system, such as a "Global Sustainable Development Report" and comparable reporting mechanisms at the national level, and roles given to actors beyond national states will be essential, given the complexity of the agenda and the need for accountable implementation. For the review of SDGs, one new dimension needed is to include monitoring the key aspects of Earth system transformation.
Community Driven Developement : Asset Based Develpement as MethodAr. Salma Akter Surma
The document discusses asset-based community development (ABCD) and provides an overview of its key principles and methodology.
1. ABCD focuses on identifying and mobilizing a community's existing assets, skills, and capacities rather than its needs and problems. This asset-based approach aims to empower communities and encourage self-reliance.
2. The methodology involves mapping community assets such as individual skills, associations, institutions, physical resources, and connections. This asset mapping helps communities recognize their strengths and mobilize around shared interests.
3. ABCD aims to shift the orientation of community development from a needs-based to an asset-based approach. Rather than creating a "problems map," ABCD helps communities develop

1. Regional climate change impact assessments are needed to bridge global climate assessments and local decision-making on adapting to climate change. Assessments should be designed and carried out within each region to be culturally appropriate.
2. Knowledge action networks are proposed to link regional assessments with global science and policy communities to support local adaptation initiatives. Modern information techniques can ensure communication across global, regional, and local levels.
3. A new institutional framework is needed to support regional assessments and knowledge action networks through funding, capacity building, and provision of data, models and other resources, starting initially with a focus on regional assessments of water resources.
The document outlines a proposed 8-day unit on water and sanitation challenges. It discusses three major global challenges: lack of prioritization by governments, poor populations paying disproportionately more, and lack of international cooperation. It suggests examining case studies from primary sources on issues in Nicaragua, where access to improved sanitation and water sources remains limited. A sociological perspective could offer insight into key players' agendas and power structures. Students would develop a proposal to address problems identified, following guidelines in Creswell's research methods text. The proposal would undergo review and defense with peers. The unit aims to help students appreciate water and sanitation issues and how to help developing nations.

MODULE 1
Q1
Defining international or global health is important and some consider global health synonymous with public health. Select one of the following two statements:
1. Global health is public health requiring similar training and research methods.
2. Global health is a separate discipline requiring specific training and research methods.
Identify at least two arguments that support the selected statement and provide sources to support those arguments. Identify and discuss one historical event that is important in how global health is understood today and how that event supports your argument. For one of your substantive responses, identify another classmate that selected the opposite statement and provide at least one point of agreement and one point of disagreement.?
Q2
Poverty is central to health and development in low-income and middle-income countries. State your definition of poverty prior to studying public health. Based on this definition, what would be the focus of poverty alleviation solutions? Based on the relational and spiritual definition of poverty, discuss how the focus of solutions would change to include a holistic approach. Identify an example of a health program or solution that integrates a relational definition of poverty. Watch the video on "Defining Poverty" to help in responding to this discussion question.

Read "Towards a Common Definition of Global Health" by Koplan, Bond,.
This document discusses the importance of developing a global perspective through education. It outlines 5 dimensions that can help foster a global perspective:
1. Perspective consciousness - The awareness that one's own view of the world is shaped by influences and is not universally shared. Others have profoundly different views.
2. "State of the planet" awareness - Awareness of prevailing world conditions, trends, developments regarding issues like population, resources, technology, conflicts.
3. Cross-cultural awareness - Understanding and appreciating other national cultures and cultures within one's own nation.
4. Knowledge of global dynamics - Understanding the ways nations, organizations, populations and groups are interconnected and interact worldwide.

Sustainable Development Goals and Inclusive DevelopmentRuben Zondervan
http://sdg.earthsystemgovernance.org/sdg/publications/sustainable-development-goals-and-inclusive-development
Key messages of Policy Brief #5:
1. Social goals tend to be marginalized in the implementation of sustainable development while economic growth is prioritized often also at the cost of ecological goals. Many of these development issues are essentially distributional issues. These distributional challenges will be exacerbated by the need to limit the environmental utilization space (ecospace) on Earth and the consequent challenge of how this space will be equitably and inclusively shared among countries and people. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the proposed Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and targets developed by the Open Working Group on Sustainable Development Goals (OWG) against criteria for inclusive development.
2. Inclusive development principles, tools, and evaluation criteria for the proposed SDGs fall into three clusters: inclusive development per sé; inclusive development in the context of the Anthropocene; and inclusive development from a relational perspective.
3. Regarding inclusive development per sé, the SDGs currently proposed do not provide guidance to establish targets that would build capacity for the most marginalized populations so that they can learn about and access SDG-related opportunities. In the context of the Anthropocene, the SDGs neither adequately address ecosystemic limits nor the allocation of responsibilities, rights, and risks among countries and peoples in relation to fixed and diminishing resources. From a relational perspective, the wording of the OWG document lacks balance; it focuses more on effects than root causes. For example, while the document focuses on enhancing the rights of women and girls and ending gender disparities, it does not have a corresponding discussion on the policy instruments needed for dealing with the relations between men and women with respect to these rights.
4. These governance issues can be addressed by developing context-relevant, appropriate targets and indicators, but this will require exceptional steering and leadership to ensure their successful implementation.
The workshop was organized by the United Nations University Institute for the Advanced Study of Sustainability (UNU-IAS), the Earth System Governance Project and the POST2015 project (hosted by Tokyo Institute of Technology and sponsored by Ministry of Environment, Japan). It brought together international scholars and practitioners with expertise on global environmental governance to discuss some key questions relating to the governance of, and governance for, the post-2015 development agenda. The scope of the workshop was the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with particular focus on how integrated SDGs (of the development and environmental agenda) could be governed in the post-2015 era.
