Here is a potential 10-minute presentation to the Chinese Environment Minister on solutions to China's ecological challenges from rapid economic growth:
"Mr. Minister, thank you for the opportunity to present some solutions. China's economic growth has lifted hundreds of millions out of poverty but put immense pressure on natural systems. If left unaddressed, continued degradation risks undermining long-term prosperity. We propose a three-pronged approach:
1. Implement an ecological tax reform. Shift taxes off business and labor and onto resource use and pollution. This creates incentives for efficiency and innovation while raising funds for environmental protection.
2. Establish an accurate national ecological footprint accounting system and set targets to reduce China's footprint to within global bioc

How we are polluting environment
• Look at any ecosystem and there could be multiple forms of contamination—
streams full of toxic chemicals from industrial processes, rivers overloaded
with nutrients from farms, trash blowing away from landfills, city skies
covered in smog. Even landscapes that appear pristine can experience the
effects of pollution sources located hundreds or thousands of miles away.
• Pollution may muddy landscapes, poison soils and waterways, or kill plants
and animals. Humans are also regularly harmed by pollution. Long-term
exposure to air pollution, for example, can lead to chronic respiratory disease,
lung cancer and other diseases. Toxic chemicals that accumulate in top
predators can make some species unsafe to eat. More than one billion people
lack access to clean water and 2.4 billion don’t have adequate sanitation,
putting them at risk of contracting deadly diseases.
European Development Days
European Commission DG Development and Cooperation
16-17 October 2012, Brussels
The EU has discussed with a wide range of private and public stakeholders how to work closer together towards the common objective of achieving inclusive and sustainable growth in partner countries in the South. ECDPM contributed to this event in a panel on 'Europe's response to inequality in developing countries, co-organised a panel on 'How can we maximise inclusive growth and development?', and sat on a panel on the European Report on Development 2013. In a "project-lab", the ERD core team presented their work on the European Report on Development 2013. This consultation with a wide variety of stakeholders present at the EDDs aimed to enrich and inform the next stages of drafting the report.

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.

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.
