Important SDGs for Bangladesh
This document discusses three of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals - Goal 8 on decent work and economic growth, Goal 11 on sustainable cities and communities, and Goal 12 on responsible consumption and production - in the context of Bangladesh.

Sustainability Back To The Future Or Forward To The Past
Sustainability refers to practices that can be maintained indefinitely without depleting resources or causing severe environmental damage. The document discusses how societies have moved away from more sustainable practices of the past through higher consumption, easy credit, and short-term thinking. It argues that to become sustainable again, societies must reduce waste and excess by using only what is needed, recycling, and shifting to a maintenance mindset rather than constant consumption. A sustainable society is possible and has been achieved before through balancing human activities with environmental protection. Strong leadership, communication, and collective action are needed to manage the transition.
Sustainability : Back To The Future Or Forward To The Past?
The document discusses sustainability and how societies can transition to more sustainable models. It notes that past societies were more sustainable out of necessity, as people had to repair and reuse due to limited income and resources. However, modern societies encourage overconsumption, short-term thinking, and wasteful practices. To regain sustainability, societies must reduce waste, only use resources as needed, embrace recycling and repair, and shift to a maintenance focus rather than constant consumption. Making this transition will require leadership, education, incentives, and collective action, but can lead to improved quality of life while respecting environmental limits.
Climate Change + Sustainability =The New Business Model For the Future
Climate change and sustainability are shaping the new business model for the future. Businesses need to assess how environmental impacts will affect their revenues, costs, profits and more.

Governments are increasingly supporting green economies through initiatives and investments in clean energy and efficiency.

He presented impact trends around environment, community, equity and empowerment such as 3D printed housing, separating trash from rivers with bubbles, and farming with artificial light. Metrics of success need to shift from extractive and finite to regenerative, thriving and prioritizing humans. An impact business culture revolution is needed to positively impact many people.

Greenwashing Marketingand Sustainable Future Rev1
- Greenwashing involves companies misleading consumers about their environmental credentials through exaggerated claims and marketing. True sustainability requires implementing practices that minimize environmental impact, not just claiming to be green.
- While sustainability is important due to finite resources and environmental damage, many companies and governments are guilty of greenwashing by focusing more on appearing green than actually reducing their impact.
- Greenwashing can be avoided by making genuinely green products and services normal through marketing instead of making normal products seem green, and by avoiding the seven sins of greenwashing like vague or unsubstantiated claims.

Sustainable Strides Toward Meeting The Triple Bottom Line
John Elkington strove to measure sustainability during the mid-1990s by encompassing a new framework to measure performance in corporate America.

Companies today are actively integrating sustainability into their business practices, practicing “conscientious business” methods due to a growing belief from leaders about the benefits of sustainability. Ritchie Capital Management includes all this plus more industry shifts and trends seen throughout 21st century business models.

Science alerts us that to significantly slow down Climate Change we have to reduce carbon emissions by 50% by 2030 and to be neutral by 2050. This requires that the events sector radically rethinks and redesigns our business strategies to not only become more sustainable, but to catalyse other industries while we regenerate our host environments and communities.
This raises the question are we ready to undertake the deep and exponential changes to survive, do we have the leadership capacities that this demands? And perhaps most importantly do we need to speed up the existing industry evolution or start a low carbon revolution?
In this inspiring, interactive and educating session, we will enter into a deep conversation, exploring the pioneering strategies and actions required to transform tomorrows events industry from one disrupted by a climate emergency to a sector that creates a prosperous future for all.
The session is designed to unlock the collective intelligence of the audience through a series of short Firestarter speeches from sustainability leaders from destinations, venues and clients, followed by a moderated debate and knowledge interchange between all participants.Sustainability And Economic Development
The document discusses sustainability and its connections to economic development. It defines sustainability as meeting present needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet their needs.

This allows firms to take a gradual approach and manage risk.
2. Transaction cost analysis theory suggests that firms should internalize activities through wholly owned subsidiaries when the transaction costs of using external organizations are too high.
3. Porter's diamond framework analyzes the national environment using factors of demand conditions, related and supporting industries, firm strategy/rivalry, and factor conditions that influence the competitiveness of industries within that nation.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.
