Eco insurance - risk management for the 21st century - final - printPlanet2025 Network
Humankind’s failure to reinvest a portion of the monetary riches provided by nature back into the globe’s life-supporting ecosystems has produced a mounting deficit on the world’s ecological balance of payments. This deficit has now grown to be 20 percent of the Earth's capacity - we are consuming resources 20 percent faster than they regenerate.

We think we understand environmental damage: pollution, water scarcity, a warming world. But these problems are just the tip of the iceberg. Deeper issues include food insecurity, financial assets drained of value by environmental damage, and a rapid rise in diseases of animal origin. These and other problems are among the underreported consequences of an unsustainable global system.
In State of the World 2015, the flagship publication of the Worldwatch Institute, experts explore hidden threats to sustainability and how to address them. Eight key issues are addressed in depth, along with the central question of how we can develop resilience to these and other shocks. With the latest edition of State of the World, the authorities at Worldwatch bring to light challenges we can no longer afford to ignore.

Green Watch is a youth initiative of few of the researchers, marketers in environment industry. Importance of environmental protection, afforestation, biodiversity, conservation of natural resources has become crucial these days. Environmental degradation, depletion of natural resources, carbon footprint, GHG emissions, natural disasters etc. have become cause of immense concern in front of world community. It is the responsibility of all the stakeholders to save mother earth against all the evil business practices happening worldwide. There is a lack of knowledge and awareness about various ill effects, human and other species can face due to environmental degradation. Compliance of green policies and careful consideration of all the factors relating to sustainability is the need of the hour. Gradually the environmental policies, regulation and environmental policy compliance are getting stringent. The initiative thus takes to report responsibly to enhance socio ecological knowledge.

Climate exposure is defined as the potential gains or losses in an investor’s portfolio due to climate change. It encapsulates both climate-related financial risks as well as opportunities. Though climate exposure has many components, it can be divided into three broad subcategories: • Policy and legal exposure: The financial effects of policies designed to mitigate climate change (e.g., carbon pricing schemes) or policies designed to adapt to it (e.g., water management infrastructure and rationing) (Burton, Diringer, and Smith 2006); or litigation or adjudication related to climate change (Massachusetts v. Environmental Protection Agency 2007; Guyatt et al. 2011). • Physical and ecological exposure: The financial implications of changes to earth’s ecosystems. For example: the costs of shorter and warmer winters on the ski industry (Bebb 2015); the financial impacts of hotter weather on agricultural yields; or the economic consequences of severe weather/climatic events (e.g., Hurricane Sandy) that disrupt human economic activity. • Market and economic exposure: Human responses to the aforementioned policy and ecological changes that will reshape businesses, industries, economies, and markets (e.g., growth in clean energy technologies that threaten the fossil fuel industry) (Guyatt et al. 2011).

Stories are how we learn and evolve as a society. Healing the problems of society begins with the words we use to shape the past, present, and future. Myth and legends heal because they remind us of right and wrong, and how to each balance again.
This presentation asks: how can we change the story we tell to heal the rifts in our society around climate action and to specifically get bipartisan support for climate action?
Bringing together research from the Climate Compass, story medicine principles, and audience provocations, this presentation sets up the agreed framework for our Australian Parents for Climate Action parent and grandparent spokespeople.

I have an interest in the world of insurance, which is a far more comprehensive and intricate industry than suggested by domestic insurers’ multi-policy discounts and the like.
In fact, commerce and industry in general would not operate without the insurance mechanism to support it.
Risk management is a related discipline, consisting of insurance (within its "risk transfer" component) and many other elements.
I also have a keen interest in climate change, and have felt for some time that its near-term and longer-term impacts are not fully appreciated by various major participants in the insurance industry. For that reason, I have developed this presentation, which I will soon expand into a more comprehensive discussion paper:
Journey to the Future: An Economy in Harmony with NatureGuy Dauncey
Our political and business leaders tell us that economic growth is the answer to everything, increasing GDP. From Nature’s perspective, however, GDP stands for Gross Depletion of the Planet.
How can we build a new cooperative economy that will enable us to meet our human needs, while restoring ecological integrity, and ensuring that Earth’s eight million other species are able to meet their needs too?
Guy Dauncey’s new book Journey to the Future: A Better World is Possible offers a compelling vision of a green future where a new cooperative economy is being put in place.

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.
UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.
