This document proposes a new reforestation initiative called "UtiliTree 2" to support President Bush's climate change plans. It would fund tree planting projects in the Lower Mississippi River Valley through land purchases and donations to the National Wildlife Refuge system. A meeting will be held with power companies, government agencies, and conservation groups to discuss options. The program aims to offset over $5 million in carbon emissions over 5 years. Benefits include supporting the President's climate policies, improving wildlife habitat and flood prevention in the degraded river valley region.
This document describes a methodology developed in a university thesis to identify suitable areas for renewable energy plants within a municipality in Italy. The methodology analyzes energy consumption and landscape characteristics to assess areas' propensity for different types of renewable energy. It then evaluates each area's energy capability using SWOT analysis. The goal is to provide tools for policymakers to incorporate energy planning while avoiding underestimating an area's renewable energy potential and using energy sources to support ecological restoration. The methodology was developed and tested on the municipality of San Miniato but could be repeated elsewhere subject to data availability.

The handbook provides a framework for cities to develop strategies to better utilize abandoned buildings and spaces following circular economy principles. It outlines the benefits of promoting reuse practices such as more sustainable urbanization and land savings. The handbook was produced jointly by the Urban Agenda Partnerships on Circular Economy and Sustainable Use of Land and Nature-Based Solutions given the relevance of building reuse to both partnerships. It presents case studies and models for managing urban circular reuse through structures like Urban Agencies for Reuse. The goal is to create economic and social opportunities without consuming new land and improve environmental performance of existing buildings.
This document provides an inventory of existing methodologies and tools for energy and CO2 balancing that could be used or adapted for use by the RURENER rural community network project. It describes 15 different tools, including their purpose, inputs required, outputs provided, and how to access them. The tools vary in their level of analysis (sectoral vs transversal), data requirements, and output format (excel vs web-based). While most tools focus on CO2 emissions, they differ in their simplicity and ability to answer the main questions of interest to RURENER network members for energy planning and progress monitoring toward energy neutrality.

Islamabad | Oct-15 | Sarhad Rural Support Programme: Micro-GridsSmart Villages
Sohail Ameer Marwat
The Smart Villages workshop was organised in Pakistan as continuation of the regional engagement in South Asia. The Pakistan workshop aimed to glean insights from the country’s experience of off-grid energy provision to remote rural communities through the deployment of micro-grids. In particular the workshop aimed to tease out the enabling framework conditions that have been vital for the deployment of micro-grids in remote areas of the country. It is hoped that the workshop provided relevant insights to other countries in South Asia and globally that seek to establish frameworks supporting the growth of micro-grids.
The workshop will address the following main questions:
o What are the challenges encountered in deploying micro-grids in Pakistan and how have they been overcome?
o What framework conditions have acted as enablers or have hindered the success of micro-grids in Pakistan?
o How have these framework conditions evolved and what are the lessons for other regions that seek to deploy micro-grids?
o How can these framework conditions enable the productive use of energy to improve livelihoods, health and education outcomes?

Changing the future of energy: civil society as a main player in renewable en...Nuno Quental
This document summarizes a study on the role of civil society in renewable energy generation in the EU. The study found:
1) Civil society is eager to benefit from decentralized renewable energy production but faces barriers like complex regulations favoring large producers.
2) There is potential for civic renewable energy to promote community development, jobs, and address energy poverty that remains largely untapped due to a lack of support policies.
3) Stable policy frameworks, transparent decision making, and support schemes adapted for small producers are needed to unlock civic energy's potential and create a level playing field in renewable energy.

"Of course, you prefer to take players who are fully fit, but that's okay. We want to wait and be patient for some players even if they cannot play in those first matches," he told a press conference. The 37-year-old Vertonghen, Belgium’s Euro Cup 2024 most-capped international with 154 appearances, is struggling to shake off a groin injury.
"He will be there normally. This also applies to Youri Tielemans and Arthur Theate. The latter's position is very sensitive. We don't have many choices at left back. "It will only change if it turns out that they will only be available when, say, the final of the Euro 2024 Championship comes around. That's too long to wait.

Belgium vs Romania: Radu Dragusin Prepares for Crucial Role in Euro Cup Germany
Some of them have taken not one but two steps forward in their rehabilitation," he said. None of the injured players will feature in this week’s warm-up friendlies against Montenegro and Luxembourg. Romania centre-back Radu Dragusin found chances limited at Tottenham Hotspur in the second half of the 2023-24 season.
But is crucial to his country's cause at UEFA Euro 2024 where his aerial ability, physicality and hard graft make him a standout player. The 22-year-old moved to North London from Italian side Genoa in January but was kept on the sidelines by the form of another new arrival for the season, Mickey van de Ven, something Romania coach Edward Iordanescu admitted was a concern.
It will mean limited game-time going into the finals, but Dragusin, who cites Netherlands defender Virgil van Dijk as a role model, started every Euro Cup Germany qualifier as Romania went through the campaign unbeaten in their 10 games. He will be among their most important players in their first game in Germany against Ukraine in Munich on June 17, taking the right centre-back role in what is likely to be a back four.

Five days later, they travel south to face France in Leipzig, a side led by Kylian Mbappe - one of the finest players in the world currently and one of the most impressive players in his nation's history.

Ronald Koeman is widely considered one of the more successful Dutch managers in Premier League history, considering the nation has a reputation for struggling to replicate their talents in England. The former Everton manager went against that script and shone — and now he is back managing his nation.

Netherlands vs Austria: Ronald Koeman's Tactical Approach For UEFA Euro 2024
As well as being the highest-scoring defender in history, Koeman is a man with immense tactical knowledge. He returned to manage Holland at the start of 2023 after it was announced Louis van Gaal would retire. His life back in the dugout with the team wasn't easy, as he lost his first match 4-0 to France after going 3-0 down within 21 minutes.
However, he eventually helped them qualify for Euro Cup Germany. The 61-year-old likes to organize his team with a defensive mindset. Some might call it pragmatic as he defends with minimal space between the lines, but that's often needed for international football.
