Summary report, presentations and exercises from SIANI/FAO Workshop:
“Discover new Opportunities with the Ex-Ante Carbon Balance Tool”
7-8 December 2011, Stockholm
Main workshop objectives:
Presenting the tool and spreading its usage
Assessing the needs/demand related to CC mitigation for further development of the tool
Building partnerships
The Ex-Act tool:
The tool is a multi-functional software. Ex-Act has the capability to perform, amongst others, Carbon Footprint Analysis, illustrating which agricultural and forestry activities are CO2 emitters or Carbon sinks.
The results can be used to measure and manage environmental impact and for communication purposes.
My My Digital Artifact focuses on three issues about Cities and Climate Change:
1- How cities contribute to climate change.
Cities have become awesome in size, and also greenhouse gas emissions. Larger cities have a ravenous appetite for energy, consuming ⅔ of the world's energy and creating over 70% of global CO2 emissions.
2- Impacts of Climate change on Cities
Almost 50% of cities are already dealing with the effects of climate change, and nearly all are at risk. Over 90% of all urban areas are coastal, putting most cities on Earth at risk of flooding from rising sea levels and powerful storms.The financial effects of climate change can be just as devastating as the physical ones. Unexpected expenditures from storms, flooding, snow removal and drought can lead to major disruptions in business operations and city budgets.
3- How cities also have the opportunity to be integral to its solution.
Urban density can actually create the possibility for a better quality of life and a lower carbon footprint through more efficient infrastructure and planning.
City mayors are directly accountable to their constituents for their decisions, and are more nimble than state and national elected officials to take decisive action—often with immediate and impactful results. What our cities do individually and in unison to address climate change can set the agenda for communities and governments everywhere.
We believe that a better global future lies in urban innovation and action. As the majority of future humans will live in cities, it just makes sense that our solution to climate change will reside there too.
This presentation was delivered at the EnergyCarta Asian Youth Energy Summit 2010. It covers global issues shaping our future, cleantech and how it is defined, design and ethical considerations for industry and policymakers.

Here is a PPT on Eco Green Cities. The fonts will change if u have only fonts of your pc. You can download.. If you have any queries send it to guthijp.reddy@gmail.com
Buildings, as definers of character and fabric of any city, are known for their positivity, negativities, dualities and contradictions. Consuming half of the global energy, majority of resources and generating 45% carbon emissions, buildings are largely responsible for consumption of resources, generation of waste, climate change and global warming. Sustainable Development Goals enunciated by UNO also mandate the critical role of buildings in promoting global sustainability. However, majority of buildings are designed without any concern for energy, resources and environment. For making buildings least consumers of energy, resources and generators of waste, traditional approach to buildings have to be changed and redefined. Appropriate options of designing sustainable, environment friendly and energy efficient buildings would involve the study, analysis and application of the relevance of climate both at regional, city and local levels; site and orientation ; options for energy and water efficiency; context of building materials and indoor air quality, active and passive means of heating cooling and using resources provided with nature for making buildings green and energy efficient.
The Sustainable Cities Eco Report is a supplement by The Sunday Telegraph. The September 2013 edition includes features by Wintech Ltd and examines the role of the facade engineer in sustainability and construction.

Planning and Designing Green buildings-.issues, options and strategiesJIT KUMAR GUPTA
Affordability and sustainable development are considered anti-thesis across the world. Generally there exists conflict between the approach to sustainable built environment and affordable buildings. Sustainable development is considered more expensive. According to Middleton, ‘Sustainability and affordability aren’t mutually exclusive goals. It’s not about adding extra, but thinking more carefully about the design of buildings and incorporating technologies that can offset the rising costs of energy, water and other services. Affordability and sustainability are known to fit together perfectly’.
Through excellent design, buildings can be made more sustainable and affordable. Smaller the footprint of buildings, lower will be the upfront costs and embodied energy and lower shall be the running costs of buildings. Looking at the entire context of health, rising cost of amenities/services; Sustainable/Green designs are now being increasingly adopted, to make built environment more cost-effective and affordable. Considering the enormous amount of built environment to be created, India will have no option but to tread the path of sustainability and sustainable development in the built environment. Sustainable built environment would also help in and go a long way in achieving the majority of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals for the reason, built environment is known to be the largest consumer of energy, avoid wasteful use of resources and minimise generation of waste. Global sustainability will be largely contingent upon how effectively and efficiently we can make our buildings sustainable and qualitative through innovative/green design solutions based on local climate and culture, valuing site planning, embedding orientation, cross ventilation, using renewable/waste materials and involving state of the art building technologies.
Holger Robrecht from ICLEI European Secretariat gives an introduction to "Sustainability Management" or how to run our cities and towns in an environmentally friendly way.

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

Sustainable Buildings and Construction
1. Sustainable Buildings and
Construction
Challenges and Outlook for the 21th Century
ICLEI World Congress 2009, F2 Building and Construction,
17 June 2009
Philipp Tepper, Project Officer, ICLEI European Secretariat
2. Environmental & Social Impacts
Energy and climate change
40% of the final energy consumption in the European
Union is from the building sector, accounting for 50% of
the CO2 emissions
The buildings sector is using significant amounts of
natural resources such as extractive minerals, water and
space (flora & fauna)
Working conditions and migration
Health and Safety of the workers
Child labour in extractive industries
Working migration and social exclusion
4. Communicating clear demand
Construction of new / renovation of [insert building type],
achieving an energy performance reaching
to at least passive house standard,
using sustainable construction materials,
sustainable water and waste water
management aspects and
ambitious healthy living conditions.
5. Challenges and solutions today
“For millenia we have lived in
passive buildings” Dr Rajat Gupta
Think passive again and take
sustainability criteria into account in the
whole construction chain
DESIGN CONSTRUCTION OPERATION END OF LIFE
6. Buildings for
the 21th Century
are:
Designed, build and renovated in a way that they are rather
productive than consuming – leading to Net Plus Energy buildings
Contributing to cosmopolitan cities and towns, both enabling social
inclusion as well as a comfortable living environment
Smart, meaning that they balance the positive impacts of e.g.
advanced insulation materials against the other created
environmental and social impacts such as waste generation
Build based on improved and consequently applied Life Cycle
Assessment (LCA)
Contributing to raise awareness and encourage sustainable action
by displaying and marketing the positive impacts to the
environment and society
7. Key Actions Use sustainable
of Local procurement as radical
action to drive innovation in
Governments the building sector
To do so engage with the
market – corporations, SMEs
and entrepreneurs – as early
as possible
Form new coalitions with the
finance sector
Radically change municipal
budgeting to take into
account whole lifecycle costs
Apply strict environmental
and social responsible urban
planning
8. Quand tu veux construire un bateau, ne commence pas
par rassembler du bois, couper des planches et
distribuer du travail, mais reveille au sein des hommes le
desir de la mer grande et large.
