A Better Life with a Healthy Planet: Pathways to Net Zero EmissionsGlobal CCS Institute
In July, the Shell Scenarios team released “A Better Life with a Healthy Planet: Pathways to Net-Zero Emissions”, a supplement that builds on Shell's New Lens Scenarios published in 2013, which showed that economic growth coupled with near net-zero emissions is a challenging but achievable vision.
The energy system responds to the demands of a growing number of people in the world with aspirations to make life materially better for themselves and their children. Meeting this demand will probably require approximately doubling the size of the global energy system over the course of this century. And that means the potential growth of atmospheric CO2 and other greenhouse gases – unless something is done at the same time to reduce these emissions, so that there are no net additions. It is valuable to recognise, however, that a net-zero emissions world is not necessarily a world without any emissions anywhere. It is a world where remaining emissions are offset elsewhere in the system, an outcome that is more rapidly achievable and hence more consistent with limiting the accumulation of greenhouse gases. This means that the world will need “negative” emissions in some sectors to offset remaining emissions in others such that zero additional emissions enter the atmosphere – the so-called “net-zero.”
Shell’s work led to a conclusion that that providing the necessary energy in the context of net-zero CO2 emissions is technically feasible but it will be very challenging. We know that such a future will be built on a patchwork of solutions, not a single pathway. Solutions may work in one place even if they aren’t necessarily suitable for every situation. And it may be difficult to predict whether a solution that works well in the lab or on a small scale can succeed in global deployment. In this booklet, we distil what we have learned so far in an attempt to answer a fundamental question: How could the energy system evolve to provide “a better life for all with a healthy planet?”
The webinar was presented by David Hone. David is Chief Climate Change Adviser for Shell, a board member and former Chair of the International Emissions Trading Association (IETA) and a board member of C2ES in Washington. He is a regular climate blogger and is the author of a series of books on the climate issue under the title “Putting the Genie Back”. David provided a summary of the scenario and was followed with a live Q&A session with the webinar audience.
The world is moving towards a crucial climate change meeting in Paris in December 2015 (COP21). The negotiations there will be based on national pledges, formally known as Intended Nationally Determined Contributions, with the goal of setting the world on a sustainable path. As energy production and use is responsible for two-thirds of greenhouse-gas emissions, the IEA feels an obligation to make a contribution to COP21 – a contribution which reconciles climate and energy needs.

Organizational carbon footprint analysis Anverally and Sons (Pvt)LtdKasun Wijerathna
A carbon footprint is the total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions caused directly and indirectly by an individual, organisation, event or product, and is expressed as a carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e).
Carbon footprint analysis services include an assessment of an organization’s carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases (GHGs) assessment. All related activities that the company has are examined in detail. Activity based GHGs emission inventory is extracted and results are reported according to ISO 14064 standards.
By calculating carbon footprint, it can manage the energy consumption of an organization (renewable energy source), check conformance with current regulation, to prepare new regulations, take attention of institutional investors, to add a prestige to certain company and also enables them to participate in carbon credit activities.

I support the protection of the environment through sustainable practices that do not destroy global economy. Too many government policies are about carbon pricing. Carbon is not the enemy of the planet. More policy work needs to be done in areas of the circular economy, urban planning, forest management, water management, and land management.

I am supporter of climate change and the need for both the private and public sectors to address issues with climate change. The key focus on policies that better support both circular and green economy. Government should resist subsidizing business through either direct grants or loans. The policies should be based on capital costs allowance, innovation, and training/skills tax credits. The world also needs to start looking at CO2 absorption through a global standard. The global standard should be audited like ESG reporting.

Sustainability with SAFe : Can SAFe be an accelerator of the sustainability t...Agile En Seine
Présenté en Français par Bruno Resseguier (Publicis Sapient) et Clémence Knaébel (Publicis Sapient) à Agile en Seine le 20 Septembre 2023
SAFe helps the business, by helping products go to market fast and productively. But what about the planet? Is SAFe doomed to help companies (more efficiently) add to the 4% of the world’s footprint created by digital, and increase (faster) the impact of e-commerce and travel booking?
Or can SAFe be the basecamp for companies to build sustainability in their decision-making in a systemic way?
We will discuss how the SAFe framework could…
– help translate sustainability strategy to sustainable products (think strategic themes, LPM, OKR…)
– build sustainability in day-to-day decision making (think sustainability NFR and acceptance criteria, sustainability-infused WSJF…)
– avoid waste in delivery by optimizing the system as a whole
Remember, customer centricity was the big jump between SAFe 4.0 and SAFe 5.0. Could sustainability be the big jump between SAFe 6.0 and 7.0? We won’t pretend it’s easy, and will look at the difficulty and even paradox of leveraging SAFe for sustainability. But we’ll invite the believers in SAFe’s potential to consider this opportunity and work on it with us.
Electromobility and Construction MachineryReno Filla
The search for energy efficient solutions goes on also for construction machinery, and hybrids are a given topic. This seminar looks at related research and pre-development at Volvo Construction Equipment and focuses on wheel loaders. In these machines, drive train and hydraulics are both equally powerful and compete for the limited engine torque. There is a large theoretic potential for the increase of energy efficiency, but to leverage this, a holistic approach is needed. The wheel loader is examined as a system with drive train and hydraulics as two parallel energy conversion systems that show a complex interaction with each other and the power source. Using a systematic design approach, several principle design solutions for hybridization can be found and are discussed.
Summary:
Electrical vehicles continue to expand their market presence. There are still significant challenges with adoption including access to plug-in stations, cost of charging the battery, cost to mine/refine/fabricate ion batteries is very taxing on the environment.
Governments around the world will also need to address the loss revenue from fuel taxes by looking at new model for electrical vehicles including plug-in station charge tax, mileage tax (km or mile driven), registration tax, environmental taxes, and other taxes.
Government should also re-look at its tax incentive systems, especially as many governments are struggling with both debt and deficits.

Investigating Business Models for Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV)Leonardo ENERGY
Solar cells (photovoltaics, PV) for electricity generation is forecasted to become one of the main contributors in the future energy system. Better building integration of PV (BIPV) is desired for aesthetical reasons and potentially also for cost savings. As of now, BIPV is generally more expensive than ordinary building applied PV installations (BAPV) or regular building components, which means there is a need to include other values in BIPV business models. This webinar presents the results from an inventory of existing business models and case studies, performed within the work of IEA-PVPS Task 15.

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.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

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.
