Forests, People, and the rest of the world: local participation in REDD+ Meas...CIFOR-ICRAF
Community participation has been promoted as a way to empower local communities in REDD+ programs. A particular goal is that they would monitor forest change and measure carbon stocks, and thus reduce the costs of such assessments. So far, little empirical evidence shows that participatory measurement, reporting and verification (PMRV) is feasible. We present the main findings from a series of multidisciplinary studies published in a collection of PLOS ONE, investigating the feasibility of local participation into MRV in Indonesia, Ethiopia, Mexico and China.

Efficient Use of Water - Drew Beckwith, Western Resources Associatesrshimoda2014
Three sources of water are generally cited for to support continued population growth in the West: new diversions from rivers, transfers from agriculture to cities, or reduced use through conservation. Municipal conservation is the cheapest of the three, and often has the least impact on Western rivers.
This presentation describes the potential for conservation to reduce future demands, provide examples of implementation (including rate structures, water loss reduction, and indoor and outdoor best practice programs), and discuss Colorado state-level resources available to develop and implement conservation plans. Important concerns and issues regarding water conservation will also be addressed, including cost to the consumer, water quality, and impacts to return flows.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

City Issues
Most cities adopted their own version of

Citizens wanted local & regional
consistency in Plan requirements
Inconsistency caused confusion & relaxation of

City Ordinances / HOA rules / Enforcement
Often conflict with conservation goals
6. Implementation Challenges

Targeting the right audience
Proper messaging

Media overlap of service areas
High cost of broadcast messaging
Level of Planning Uncertainty
No assurance during dry periods that conservation

To change rate methodology requires all 13 cities to agree

Fixed cost represents 75% of water rate
Variable costs unspent are rebated back to cities each year
Cost saving benefit to cities served results from cost avoidance of raw
