Presentation at the seminar "Legal Frameworks for Sustainable Development", held at FGV, during #Rioplus20. The seminar was held in partnership with the Centre for International Environmental Studies (CIES - The Graduate Institute, Genebra); Pace Law School (NY); the Brazilian American Institute for Law and the Environment (BAILE); the International Development Law Organization (IDLO); and the Center for International Sustainable Development Law (CISDL).
The document discusses plot and spatial scale data available for studying carbon benefits in the Brazilian Amazon. It describes two main research themes: 1) analyzing greenhouse gas emissions and soil impacts from agricultural expansion in the southwestern Amazon, and 2) collecting plot scale data on soil carbon stocks and land use changes over time from the Nova Vida Ranch chronosequence in Rondônia, Brazil. A variety of geospatial and soil sampling data are available to estimate historical changes in soil carbon stocks under different land uses.
This document provides an overview of environmental nitrogen losses in Portugal based on a synthesis from the NitroPortugal project. It summarizes the main activity data and methodology used to calculate gross nitrogen balances at the municipal scale from 1989 to 2009. Key findings include that animal housing and field application of manure and fertilizers were major sources of ammonia emissions, while nitrogen dioxide emissions from irrigation were higher in Portugal than Spain. Analysis of groundwater data showed decreases in nitrogen loadings and aquifer recharge rates between 1999 and 2009.
This document summarizes a presentation on sugar cane as an energy crop in Brazil. It provides an overview of sugar cane and ethanol production in Brazil, including trends over time that show Brazil is the largest producer. It also discusses Brazil's energy outlook, including the potential for biomass cogeneration from sugar cane bagasse and straw to generate electricity equivalent to a major hydroelectric dam. The presentation concludes by describing a case study of a state-of-the-art cogeneration plant and prospects for improving efficiency through utilizing straw, methanizing vinasse, and gasifying bagasse.
This document summarizes a study examining the effects of future climate change and higher crop yields on farm management and income in Finland. Crop modeling was used to simulate future spring and winter wheat yields under different climate scenarios, showing potential yield increases of 15-30% by 2040-2070. An economic model then analyzed how higher yields may impact land use, input use, farm income, and greenhouse gas emissions at the farm level under varying price scenarios. The results suggest that higher yields could lead to 50-60% greater production, 36-46% higher incomes, and 27-33% lower emissions per kilogram produced, allowing for sustainable intensification of agriculture.

The document summarizes key aspects of Brazil's sugarcane ethanol sector, including its large contribution to Brazil's energy matrix and greenhouse gas emissions reductions. It notes that sugarcane cultivation occupies only 1.5% of Brazil's arable land but accounts for 87% of ethanol production. Productivity of sugarcane, sugar, and ethanol have all increased substantially while land area for sugarcane has only increased by 85%. The sector has agreements for social and environmental responsibility. The document concludes that Brazilian agriculture, including biofuels, has potential for large greenhouse gas reductions and that developing countries could benefit from opportunities in biofuels with reduced trade barriers.
The document describes a crop mix optimization model to analyze the impacts of climate change on Egypt's cropping patterns. The model maximizes net revenue from crop production under constraints like land and water availability. It is used to project Egypt's optimal crop mix from the base year 2013 to 2030 under different climate change scenarios. Key inputs to the model like crop prices, yields and costs are projected based on historical data analysis and climate impact assessments. The outputs, like the projected cropping area and self-sufficiency in wheat, are analyzed at national and regional levels to inform agricultural planning under climate change.

This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!

Carrer goals.pptx and their importance in real lifeartemacademy2
Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.

Why Psychological Safety Matters for Software Teams - ACE 2024 - Ben Linders.pdfBen Linders
Psychological safety in teams is important; team members must feel safe and able to communicate and collaborate effectively to deliver value. It’s also necessary to build long-lasting teams since things will happen and relationships will be strained.
But, how safe is a team? How can we determine if there are any factors that make the team unsafe or have an impact on the team’s culture?
In this mini-workshop, we’ll play games for psychological safety and team culture utilizing a deck of coaching cards, The Psychological Safety Cards. We will learn how to use gamification to gain a better understanding of what’s going on in teams. Individuals share what they have learned from working in teams, what has impacted the team’s safety and culture, and what has led to positive change.
Different game formats will be played in groups in parallel. Examples are an ice-breaker to get people talking about psychological safety, a constellation where people take positions about aspects of psychological safety in their team or organization, and collaborative card games where people work together to create an environment that fosters psychological safety.

42. Emissions of CO2, CH4 and N2O in tonnes of CO2
equivalents by Brazilian agriculture for 1990, 1994, 2000
and 2005, according to the Second Brazilian Inventory of
GHG Emissions and Removals (MCTI, 2011).
Grains
Area
Production and planted area with grain crops from
1990 to 2011
Brazilian agriculture has experienced a continuous increase in grain production, but
with a limited increase in cropped area, which is attributed to technology adoption.
This scenario has resulted in an increase in GHG emissions.
43. A - Methane emissions
B - Nitrous oxide emissions
Nitrous oxide

% of the overall
emissions from

47. Sampling procedure
• Gas sampling once a day, always in the morning
between 9:00 h and 10:00 h.
• Daily sampling during the first 10 days after fertilizer
application.
• Most of the results were obtained from a
crop season and not necessarily from a
whole year.

49. N2O emissions derived from cattle excreta in
pastures
IPCC: 2% of N-excreta is lost as N2O
Fonte :Bruno Alves Embrapa Agrobiologia
50. Soil N2O emissions from cattle urine and faeces
Preliminary data indicates that the N2O direct emission factor for
urine is between 1.2 to 1.4 % and for faeces it is between 0.1 to 0.2
%.
N2O-EF1 from “Tier 1” of IPCC guidelines is 2 % of the total N in
cattle excreta .
For the Brazilian savannah region that concentrates about 40 %
of cattle herd, the weighed average emission factor would vary
from 0.5 to 0.7 %, assuming no more than 60% of excreted N is in
the urine form.
