Landscape Restoration
Deliberate and planned process to enhance environmental services and generate positive developmental outcomes through primarily tree based interventions.
ENABLING TENURAL CLARITY FOR LANDSCAPE RESTORATIONNeil Sorensen
Orange Area land dispute, is arguably the most serious land issue with policy and legal implications in the states of M.P. and Chhattisgarh.
Result of lack of coordinated functioning amongst the Forest Department and Revenue Department.
Confusion in understanding of the Zamindari/Malguzari Abolition Act, 1950 and State Land Revenue Codes
Security of Tenure and Resource Rights Incentivizes Landscape RestorationNeil Sorensen

Passing of Law is no guarantee that it would be properly implemented.
All powerful Forest bureaucracy can create obstacles at every stage of implementation and easily defeat the very purpose of the Law.

The commons represent socio-ecological landscapes (Lele2014) of diverse needs and possibilities -
ecological terrain and living
subsistence, survival and sustenance
everyday needs of food, fodder, water etc thereof.
The footprint of development in the neo liberal development era,
policies programmatic interventions
Manifests spatially on the socio- economic landscape in varied ways
Manifests on gender relations.
This paper, analyses the emergent Genderscapes (Krishna 2012) in the wake of neoliberal policies of development,
Examines the implications of such processes on the lives and livelihoods of commons dependent communities and on women.
Key points:
Upholding historical and traditional practices
Urgently protecting village commons
Immediately taking corrective actions against encroachments
No justification for condoning illegal possession of village land
Regularisation of construction only in exceptional cases

Secure Land Rights and Women’s Empowerment – Evidences from Odisha (India) Neil Sorensen
Land - economic asset; its ownership has strong social, cultural and political implications
Land is a composite asset - income and livelihood, identity, address and social status
Ownership of land is “power”
Its the “power” to exercise rights; the “power” to lead a life of dignity
Information is a valuable tool to contribute to a world of improved land governance
Challenges in access to information
Extreme fragmentation of information
Enormous wealth of information
Reliability issues
Too much to humanly digest
Land Portal website brings information from various sources together

The document discusses land governance and management reforms in India through the Digital India Land Records Modernization Programme (DILRMP). It outlines the current land record system's limitations and the vision for a more transparent, computerized system. Key initiatives include computerizing land and registration records in most states, digitizing maps, integrating land and registration processes, linking Aadhaar IDs, and conducting land surveys. Case studies from Karnataka, Haryana, and Himachal Pradesh demonstrate integrated, technology-driven systems that minimize human errors and corruption in land services.
Main Objective of this portal is to provide online
comprehensive information of Land Records (across the
state) to the public in vernacular (Telugu) Language.
The document discusses the importance of improving property record management systems in India. It notes that there are over 24 million land-related court cases, 2771 murders due to property disputes in 2014, and 73 stalled projects from 2014-2017 due to issues with land acquisition. Current property records in India are poorly maintained and inaccurate. Government initiatives aim to create conclusive land titles and comprehensive, up-to-date records through computerization and digitization of records of rights, cadastral maps, and registration documents. A study was conducted to assess the impact of these programs in three states by checking the status of records and commenting on the accuracy and completeness achieved.

Background on Land Governance Realities in Myanmar “Political Playground”- Legal framework is poorly harmonized and often antiquated;- Deed registration system has been poorly maintained, expensive land transactions, tenure claims often unclear (negative impact on investment);- Many land holders, particularly in remote rural areas, lack formal recognition of land tenure claims (customary tenure);- Land governance arrangements are complicated with overlapping authority;- Public access to accurate land information is difficult (negative impact on investment, negative impacts on tenure security, increases risk for all);- Limited opportunity for public participation in land resource decision making processes, including easy access to affordable dispute resolution mechanisms.
OneMap project works with government, civil society, ethnic groups and communities, to produce, enhance, and share high quality and accuracy data on land and other natural resources.
The open-access, online OneMap spatial data platform democratizes access to multi-sectoral data. It aims to function as an effective basis for transparent and accountable land governance and development planning by government and citizens.
By supporting government and civil society alike, OneMap provides space for multi-stakeholders based production and verification of key datasets, and thereby allows different perspectives on land to be equally represented.
Current Status of the Myanmar Context on Open DataNeil Sorensen
Myanmar is facing critical issues related to land.
Managing land and natural resources is complex. Transparent access to good information and data is critical for decision makers and citizens
But access to key data is still very limited because of different reasons. For example, some data :
Do not exist yet
Are outdated
Are inaccessible
Are inaccurate
Are still in paper format, etc.
OneMap project helps to develop a central online database, where all data relevant to land, are accessible to users (government and citizens).
Open Access and Open Data in Vietnam Current Status and Challenges Neil Sorensen
Open educational resources (OER) are freely accessible, openly licensed documents and media that are useful for teaching, learning, and assessing as well as for research purposes. It is the leading trend in distance education/open and distance learning domain as a consequence of the openness movement.
Challenges
Planning traditionally done based on ideal targets, less based on current facts, often due to “lack of information”.
Information often exists, but
largely underutilized (analysis capacities)
not shared/ not accessible (practices)
often heterogeneous and scattered (data management)
sectoral perspectives (planning processes)
→ Challenges of information access and integration across sectors and levels
Policy: for use data, data sharing; reuse data; keep up to date of data, the quality of data
Collaboration: how to share responsibility , benefits, the cost of maintaining data, system maintenance
Technical solution: open standard, open sources, portal, metadata. etc.
This document discusses adding value to open data portals. It notes that open data is cost-effective but challenges include overcoming system interoperability problems and ensuring security and meaningful reuse of data. The document recommends adding value from different perspectives such as regional, national, bilateral, government, and research/academic views. Resources and standards are listed that can help with issues like joined up data standards. The document is presented by Pyrou Chung, ODI Regional Data Manager.

Causes Supporting Charity for Elderly PeopleSERUDS INDIA
Around 52% of the elder populations in India are living in poverty and poor health problems. In this technological world, they became very backward without having any knowledge about technology. So they’re dependent on working hard for their daily earnings, they’re physically very weak. Thus charity organizations are made to help and raise them and also to give them hope to live.

Good morning and welcome back to Energy Source, coming to you from New York, where the city swelters in its first heatwave of the season.
Nearly 80 million people were under alerts in the US north-east and midwest yesterday as temperatures in some municipalities reached record highs in a test to the country’s rickety power grid.
In other news, the Financial Times has a new Big Read this morning on Russia’s grip on nuclear power. Despite sanctions on its economy, the Kremlin continues to be an unrivalled exporter of nuclear power plants, building more than half of all reactors under construction globally. Read how Moscow is using these projects to wield global influence.
Today’s Energy Source dives into the latest Statistical Review of World Energy, the industry’s annual stocktake of global energy consumption. The report was published for more than 70 years by BP before it was passed over to the Energy Institute last year. The oil major remains a contributor.
Data Drill looks at a new analysis from the World Bank showing gas flaring is at a four-year high.
Thanks for reading,

New report offers sobering view of the energy transition
Every year the Statistical Review of World Energy offers a behemoth of data on the state of the global energy market. This year’s findings highlight the world’s insatiable demand for energy and the need to speed up the pace of decarbonisation.
Here are our four main takeaways from this year’s report:
Fossil fuel consumption — and emissions — are at record highs
Countries burnt record amounts of oil and coal last year, sending global fossil fuel consumption and emissions to all-time highs, the Energy Institute reported. Oil demand grew 2.6 per cent, surpassing 100mn barrels per day for the first time.
Meanwhile, the share of fossil fuels in the energy mix declined slightly by half a percentage point, but still made up more than 81 per cent of consumption.
