Recentemente fui convidado pelo comitê internacional de sustentabilidade para participar da COP21/ Paris2015 como palestrante integrante da comissão brasileira que vai contribuir nos eventos do CIDCE – Centre Internacional de Droit Comparé de l’Environment à 5ª Feira, dia 10/Dezembro/ 2015, das 17:30 às 19hs no Éspaces Générations Climat – sala 3 – site de Paris – Le Bourget, entrada livre, nos idiomas: francês, inglês e traduzidas. O comité do Brasil é de responsabilidade de Fernanda De Salles Cavedon Capdeville, consultante indépendante en droit de l’environnement (France), Membre du CIDCE, Advogada, natural de Santa Catarina, membro e representante da COP 21 du Réseau Sud-Américain des Migrations Environnementales - RESAMA (Brasil).
A 21ª Conferência das Partes da Convenção das Nações Unidas sobre Mudança do Clima (COP21), que ocorrerá entre 30 de novembro e 11 de dezembro próximo, em Paris, na França, com a perspectiva de assinatura do maior acordo climático do mundo. O Protocolo de Paris vai substituir o Protocolo de Kyoto, que entrou em vigor em fevereiro de 2005. Mas ao contrário do acordo anterior, que tinha metas específicas para um grupo de menos de 40 países desenvolvidos, o Protocolo de Paris será um acordo global que envolverá mais de 190 países que fazem parte da Convenção do Clima da Organização das Nações Unidas (ONU). O novo acordo será uma espécie de guia de desenvolvimento para o futuro. Por mais que se trate o protocolo como uma discussão ambiental, ele é, na verdade, uma discussão de desenvolvimento, já que vai estabelecer parâmetros para os países signatários seguirem durante as próximas décadas, “até a metade do século, pelo menos”. O intuito é estabilizar as emissões de gases de efeito estufa (GEE), “para que, ao final do século, não ultrapasse aquecimento superior a 2 graus Celsius (°C) em relação ao que havia no período pré-industrial”.

Criticism of sustainable development by abu khairul basharAbu Khairul Bashar
There are three pillars of Sustainable Development
Economic development,
Social development, and
Environmental protection.
These pillars are Interdependent and mutually reinforcing. If there comes any breakththrough of these pillars, Sustainable development can not be fulfilled properly. So, It may be a weaken side of it.

The Global Ecovillage Network is a growing and evolving international network of regenerative communities and initiatives.
This year’s Annual Report presents the activities, impact, vision and mission of GEN and the organisations that make up the key parts of our network - the GEN regions and GEN International.
We first provide an overview of GEN and our core frameworks, key performance indicators, and highlights of the year. We then share the accomplishments from GEN’s five Regions and NextGEN, our youth arm, celebrating the wealth of action and cultural diversity of the journey towards low impact, regenerative lifestyles around the planet.
We hope you will enjoy the journey through
2021 with us!
To the entire GEN family,
While at GEN we celebrate our leadership and organisational transformations, and our continued political stand practising regenerative styles of living, the world leaders continue to be lethargic in the face of the threat of the Climate Emergency.
We celebrate Carlos Rojas and Jennifer Viloria, the new co-chairs of the Board of Trustees. We celebrate the GEN International team and the new group of Trustees together advancing in a global strategy to guarantee the transition towards a viable sustainability model for GEN. We celebrate the expansing of the GEN General Assembly into the Network Steward Circle, which has an imperative role as a think tank to activate the communities of practice necessary to articulate actions at all levels of the network.
However, we cannot neglect the context in which we are. The Climate Emergency has intensified, with ecocides threatening life in the territories where many of us live. War reaches out of local contexts, to escalate to a global threat. Famines reoccur, caused by the systemic failures of large-scale agriculture based on a monopoly of agricultural supplies dependent on fossil fuels. Those are not new, but are a strong call to stand firm in promoting the solutions offered by regenerative styles of living in communities. For that reason, I invite you to read this report asking yourself, which of these fruits are your contribution to guaranteeing buen vivir on this planet? What do you want to do in fellowship with GEN to be more impactful?
As usual, in the annual report you will find details on the financial health of GEN, its achievements and challenges in 2021 and notes on the transition towards being a financially viable network.
Celebrating the achievements of GEN in 2021, I also say farewell after completing 6 years as a GEN trustee and my term as chairwoman of the Board.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. • "It is through co-engaged learning of RCEs addressing a host of problems of
particular regions, that competences become capabilities. In other words, the
RCEs give competences an opportunity to be re-enacted towards transformation
while addressing the regional challenges in a holistic manner. Focus on these
competences, if taken in the context of learning and with a clarified philosophy of
change behind it, might help to avoid compartmentalization resulting from a
focus on narrowly defined topics and bring forward synergies in the areas of SD."
(10 Years of RCEs, 2014)
• “Transformation is change that is profound, radical, and sustainable; change that
fundamentally and indelibly alters the very nature of something. Not all change is
or should be transformational.” (R. Gass What is transformation? Social
transformation project, www.stproject.org)
• "Transformative learning involves experiencing a deep, structural shift in the basic
premises of thought, feelings, and actions. It is a shift of consciousness that
dramatically and irreversibly alters our way of being in the world. Such a shift
involves our understanding of ourselves and our self-locations; our relationships
with other humans and with the natural world; our understanding of relations of
power in interlocking structures of class, race and gender; our body awareness,
our visions of alternative approaches to living; and our sense of possibilities for
social justice and peace and personal joy" - Edmund O'Sullivan
4. The SDGs should be read within the self-determination
principle of cultural / individual dignity and a right to
thrive as diverse human cultures
Here ESD will need to be framed to include:
• Healing of the physical, spiritual, psychological and social wellbeing
of situated, intergenerational collectives.
• Decolonising actions with tools and strategies for countering
sustained processes of current modernist and earlier colonial
dominance and exclusion.
• Mobilisation of knowledge practices on local matters of concern
and sustainability practices for the common good.
• Transformation through civic action at the collective level of socio-
economic and ecological wellbeing.
(Adapted Smith, 1999 p117)
Note: These qualifying additions reframe many of the SDGs as
reflexive processes of co-engaged socio-cultural re-orientation
following an expansive period of colonial and modernist exclusion in
Africa.

being undermined?
• How have nature and natural
systems been degrading?
• How are concentrations of
substances extracted from the
