The document discusses Africa's energy crisis and proposes solutions to address it. By 2050, Africa's population will double to 2 billion people but 56% will still be without power. Deforestation is occurring at 6.3% annually. If action is not taken, the results will include increased poverty, temperature rises up to 3°C, rainfall decreases of 17%, and more disease. Proposed solutions include developing renewable energy from solar, hydroelectric, geothermal, and wind sources to power Africa in a sustainable way. The ideas are elaborated in articles and align with UN sustainability goals on energy access, responsible consumption, and climate action. The author is praised for their passion in addressing the continent's environmental challenges.

Advances in Conservation Efforts Over 'Sixth Great Extinction' Reports
Scientists believe the world is experiencing a sixth mass extinction of animal species, known as the Holocene or Anthropocene extinction. The study found the current rate of species extinction is between 100 and 1000 times higher than the natural background rate due to human activities like deforestation, farming, and development which destroy habitats. While large-scale conservation efforts are needed, individual actions also contribute to addressing the problem of global biodiversity loss.
Ict presentation
The document discusses Israel's geography, environmental issues, and sustainability efforts. It notes that Israel borders Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, and the Mediterranean Sea, and has a total area of around 8,019 square miles. It faces challenges from rapid population growth, waste disposal, and increasing industrialization and automobile use. The document then outlines Israel's strategies for recycling, energy conservation, rural development, environmental awareness campaigns, and agriculture. It provides Pakistan as an example and suggests ways the country could adopt similar sustainable development practices and lessons from Israel.

BIL LA 2015 Keynote Alex Lightman Bring It To The World and Beyond 7 March 20...
The document discusses solutions to global challenges around food, water, energy, and the biosphere proposed by Alex Lightman. It suggests using ammonia production to address food and fertilizer needs, solar-powered wells and pivots to solve water access issues, replacing streetlights with solar trees to provide renewable energy and electric vehicle charging, and addressing existential threats to the planet from climate change and nuclear war. The overall message is that new technologies can help "bring" solutions to these critical global problems.
Mountaintop Removal Mining (FINAL!)
Mountaintop removal mining (MTR) is a surface mining practice that involves blasting off mountaintops to access coal deposits. It permanently changes the landscape and is harmful to both the environment and human health. The MTR process involves clearing trees, blasting away rock and soil with explosives, digging up coal with giant machines, dumping waste from mining in valleys which buries over 2,000 miles of streams, and attempting to reclaim the land through reforestation. However, the reclaimed land is often unable to fully support healthy tree growth and wildlife. MTR has significant negative impacts through pollution, destruction of biodiversity, and health risks for nearby communities.
Global warming sources, effects and control measures..
Global warming is caused by increases in greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane in the atmosphere. China is currently the largest emitter of greenhouse gases, releasing over 6,000 million metric tons annually. Other major emitters include the US, Russia, India, and Japan. Greenhouse gas emissions come from various sources like transportation, industry, power stations, agriculture, and deforestation. Effects of global warming include reduced agricultural production due to higher temperatures and less rainfall, as well as more frequent extreme weather events and natural disasters. Actions needed to address global warming involve developing more sustainable agricultural practices, increasing forest coverage, reducing emissions from vehicles and industry, and adopting renewable energy sources.

Infographic: Climate Change and Employment
The Fifth Assessment Report from the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is the
most comprehensive and relevant analysis of our
changing climate. It provides the scientific fact base
that will be used around the world to formulate
climate policies in the coming years.
This document is one of a series synthesizing the most pertinent findings
of AR5 for specific economic and business sectors. It was born of the belief
that the employment sector could make more use of AR5, which is long and
highly technical, if it were distilled into an accurate, accessible, timely,
relevant and readable summary.
Although the information presented here is a ‘translation’ of the key
content relevant to this sector from AR5, this summary report adheres to
the rigorous scientific basis of the original source material.
Grateful thanks are extended to all reviewers from both the science and
business communities for their time, effort and invaluable feedback on
this document.
The basis for information presented in this overview report can be found
in the fully-referenced and peer-reviewed IPCC technical and scientific
background reports at: www.ipcc.ch

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CLIMATE CHANGE AND ENERGY; THE CASE OF GHANA. DISCUSS.
Climate change is the gradual, long-term alteration of worldwide weather patterns, especially increases in temperature and storm activity, attributable to the increased accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. This increases the temperature of the earth and carries with it a series of repercussions for the environment. The earth’s atmospheric temperature is maintained by greenhouse gases, whose duty is to form an insulating blanket around the earth and regulate the amount of solar radiation that stays in its atmosphere. Chief among these gases are water vapour (most abundant), carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O). These occur naturally. Human-made additions include chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), hydro chlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). Nitrogen (78%) and oxygen (21%) are the two most abundant gases of the earth’s atmospheric cover by volume percent but have properties that restrict infrared absorption. The greenhouse gases that make up less than a percentage of the earth’s atmospheric composition are the culprits in global warming. The role of greenhouse gases is profound. The sun is the primary source of heat to the earth. The solar spectrum is a collection of radiant energy forms that are partly absorbed by the earth. X-ray, infrared, gamma, visible light and ultraviolet radiation all are emitted from the sun.

The economy of Kenya is based on agriculture which in turn depends on rainfall performance. Over 80 percent of the Kenyan population relies on rain-fed agriculture as a livelihood source. Unfortunately, changes in its amount, timing and distribution in the last two decades have influenced the reliability of rainfall for agricultural purposes. The consequence has been recurrent food insecurity in most parts of the country and chronic in the arid and semi arid areas due to frequent droughts. To survive the harsh climatic conditions, the affected communities employ various adaptive strategies. The current study examined the drought adaptive strategies employed by subsistence farmers in the semi arid areas of Kenya in relation to mitigating climate change. Data was obtained from Mukogodo and Central Divisions of Laikipia County, Kenya. Time series was used to analyze rainfall trends. Data on effects of droughts and adaptive strategies was obtained through in-depth interviews. The inhabitants were aware of climate change with 90% and 10% of the respondents attributing the changes to human activities and divine forces, respectively. Rainfall showed a declining trend in Mukogodo Division but an increasing trend in Central Division. Nevertheless, the timing of the "long rains" and the length of the growing season in Central Division showed considerable changes. The consequences were food insecurity and livelihood destruction in the area. The adaptive strategies employed aimed at cushioning farmers against immediate problems but with minimal consideration of climate change mitigation. This paper highlights on the opportunities and challenges of mitigating climate change that farmers had through their day-to-day adaptive strategies.
Environmental issues in the dairy industry: farm level assessment
Environmental issues in the dairy industry: farm level assessmentAfrican Dairy Conference and Exhibition
Climate change poses serious threats to the environment and dairy production in Africa. Dairy production contributes to climate change through feed production, processing, transportation, and enteric methane emissions from cattle. However, climate change also negatively impacts dairy production by shortening growing seasons, causing water scarcity, and increasing heat stress for cattle. To adapt, the dairy industry needs to improve resilience through better herd management, feed strategies, and manure management to mitigate emissions. The future will require more sustainable dairy production to meet increasing demand while protecting the environment.Green economy

The document discusses the relationship between international trade and the environment. It notes that while trade rules were established before environmental concerns became prominent, there is now an increased potential for conflict as both environmental regulations and trade have expanded rapidly. Trade liberalization could have both positive and negative environmental effects depending on context. Countries are concerned about the environmental impacts of trade as well as how domestic environmental policies might restrict trade more than necessary. Stronger environmental standards in some countries could also impact their competitiveness. Overall, the trade and environmental regimes have developed separately and more coordination is now needed to address potential conflicts.
