Tokyo is vulnerable to natural disasters like floods and typhoons due to its proximity to water bodies. Climate change is exacerbating these risks, with temperatures in Tokyo rising 5.3°F over the last century compared to a global increase of 1°F. Japan relies heavily on energy imports and Tokyo is pursuing strategies like cap-and-trade programs and expanding renewable energy to reduce emissions and improve energy security. These strategies aim to transform Tokyo into a low-carbon city and achieve emission reduction targets by 2020.

For an efficient and optimized industrial power management system, optimized lighting power sector will be a key fact. This comprehensive and contemporary study shows a path towards optimization of lighting power utilizing LEDs and some optimized proposals for the industries. It will make an impact over traditional Lighting power consumption. It will help to compare the current lighting standards utilized in an industry.
Access to energy is at the heart of the economic development of any country. This slide shows the fundamental differences between renewable and non-renewable energy sources. To cope with climate change and to guarantee the planet survival, the world needs to take urgent action. In this scenario, solar energy is leading the energy shift. Furthermore, with declining investments cost, producing solar electricity for the purpose of self-consumption is on the rise. A solar self- consumption installation uses the PV electricity generated on-site to meet the energy needs of the consumer while minimizing or excluding the use of electricity from the utility grid.
A report published by the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions in June 2013 which looks at how the use of natural gas can be paired with renewable energy sources in the coming years to further reduce so-called greenhouse gas emissions--carbon and methane--which theoretically will help reduce (don't laugh), "climate change." Of course the climate changes all the time, but don't tell the politicians and Mother Earth worshipers that.
Auctions for Renewable Energy – Model based AnalysisLeonardo ENERGY
Auctions are increasingly being applied as a mechanism to allocate support to renewable energy sources (RES). AURES (Auctions for Renewable Energy Support) is a H2020 European research project focused on auction designs for renewable energy support. The project addresses the important and urgent issue of improving current support policies for electricity from renewable energy sources through competitive market measures. The general objective of the project is to promote an effective use and efficient implementation of auctions for renewable energy support in the European Union Member States, especially regarding their cost-efficiency.
In this new webinar series, the AURES team will share research results and provide guidance to policy makers on the best options to organize renewables support under the new rules of the Clean Energy Package.

ELECTRIC AND THERMAL ENERGY PRODUCTION AND STORAGE SYSTEM BY PINECONE WASTEaeijjournal
Rural ecosystems are the main source of biomass used in the production of renewable energy in Portugal.
However, it is based on pruning residues are most of the raw material for biomass leaving other
opportunities aside. This paper highlights the role of pinecone waste without pinion for the energy sector.
The present paper studies different solutions to enhance the use of the pinecones for energy proposes. The
present paper also presents the different principal technologies.
It is possible to conclude that the use of residual biomass is a way to reduce the national dependence on
energy imports (fossil specialties), decreases transport losses (by allowing local production and
consumption locally) and encourages the management of forest areas (fixing people in rural areas and
lowers the risk of fire).
At the scale of a town district, a community solar self-consumption project is not only possible technically and legally, but also financially viable today.
In this article, we will discuss ‘allocation keys’ to break down the energy produced between the various participating consumers in order to obtain the desired balance between redistribution of benefits to those who truly consume solar energy and profitability for the investor.

Roadmap for moving to a low-carbon economy by 2050Leonardo ENERGY
If global warming is to be held below 2°C compared to pre-industrial times, then all major economies will need to make deep emissions reductions. By 2050, the European Union could cut most of its greenhouse gas emissions. The European Commission has looked at cost-efficient ways to make the European economy more climate-friendly and less energy-consuming. With its Roadmap for moving to a competitive low-carbon economy in 2050, the European Commission has looked beyond short-term objectives and set out a cost-effective pathway for achieving much deeper emission cuts by the middle of the century.
The Roadmap is the main long-term policy initiative put forward to move the EU towards using resources in a sustainable way. It states that, by 2050, the EU should cut its emissions to 80% below 1990 levels through domestic reductions alone. It sets out milestones which form a cost-effective pathway to this goal - reductions of 40% by 2030 and 60% by 2040. It also shows how the main sectors responsible for Europe's emissions - power generation, industry, transport, buildings and construction, as well as agriculture - can make the transition to a low-carbon economy most cost-effectively.

Jochem E. et al (2002) Steps towards a 2000 Watt-Society. Developing a White Paper on Research & Development of Energy-Efficient Technologies - Executive Summary - 19 p.
Executive summary
In the coming decades, the threat and consequences of
climate change and of the re-concentration of crude oil
production in the Near East will compel industrialised nations
to make much more efficient use of energy. R&D that helps
realise energy efficiency potentials is likely to be regarded as
important in scientific, entrepreneurial, and political realms.
Demand for highly energy-efficient technologies will rise
steeply, and firms that can provide them will prosper. The
identification of energy-efficient technologies and related
energy conservation potentials undertaken in this pre-study is
a first step toward designing a R&D strategy that is consistent
with the need to evolve towards a 2000 Watt per capita society.
Reaching this level by 2050 implies reducing primary energy
use from 1200 to 460 PJ per year, despite a projected 65%
economic expansion.

The challenge of energy efficiency in the residential sector: nudges from Mas...Eleonora Maria Pani
In the winter and spring of 2011, I attended the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, as a visiting researcher at the program Building and Construction Technology, within the Department of Environmental Conservation.
I have collaborated with Professor David T. Damery, the director of the program, to investigate the economic issues of energy retrofits of existing residential buildings.
The methodology is based on detailed examination of the economics of efficiency potential and the barriers to capture it. In particular I have analyzed some energy efficiency opportunities to determine how much of the potential is Net Present Value-positive.
Improving the energy efficiency of existing building stock is attainable by upgrading the building envelope through carrying out various retrofit measures. A life-cycle cost evaluation for energy retrofits must be provided together with the payback period and the projected return on investment. The evaluation of the cost of incorporating energy-efficiency measures into building envelope restoration work is necessary to determine the economic viability of incorporating energy-efficiency measures into the building envelope repair and restoration work. This analysis assesses the incremental cost associated with energy-efficiency upgrades.
The economic reasoning on which the decisions are generally based is simple. The most common criteria for decision-making are the present value and the life-cycle cost. Cost-effective energy-efficient strategies that yield the highest net present value and minimize life-cycle costs at prevailing prices and interest rates are considered to be acceptable retrofit measures.
The Internal rate-of-return of an investment is the rate of interest earned on the unrecovered balance of an investment where the terminal balance is zero. IRR is the most commonly used rate-of-return method and is known as the true rate-of return method. In this case, the IRR represent the equivalent interest rate that an energy efficiency retrofit measure would yield over a period of time. In other words, the Return on investment represents the percentage of energy saving benefit over the cost of the energy-efficiency measures.

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
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.

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.

Editor's Notes

※ I added some explanation about each strategy. If it will be helpful at the presentation, please use it. ※ Please check English of following sentences. 1. a. Cap-and -Trade Program One of the techniques of dealings in the emissions trading of a greenhouse gas. The discharge frame as which the upper limit of the amount of emission was set is assigned to the enterprise which becomes a control subject of discharge based on the general amount of emission a government set. This is a cap. It's called a cap and a trade that dealings (trade) do the part of this discharge frame. For example the enterprise to which the surplus part goes out falls below a discharge frame substantially, and can sell a right to emit global warming gases to the enterprise they seem to close beyond a discharge frame and the enterprise which would like to achieve a discharge frame. b. Conducting Projects to Support the Smooth Implementation of Mandatory Emission Reductions One example of initiatives being undertaken to facilitate the creation of Small and Medium-sized Installation Credits Within the Tokyo Area. “ Practical Seminars on Fine-Tuning Energy Conservation Measures” There are many examples of emission reductions achieved through the fine-tuning of energy conservation measures, such as through recalibrating heating and other equipment and by optimizing operational processes to match the individualized circumstances of each facility. These seminars are on the fine-tuning of energy conservation measures, including the participation of leading experts in this field and operators of facilities that have achieved reductions. They are held in order to share experiences and know-how. 2. a. Start of the Programs for Reporting on Measures against Global Warming In April 2010, the Programs for Reporting on Measures against Global Warming took effect. Under this system, small and medium-sized facilities not required to reduce total emissions—that is, those businesses having an annual energy consumption of less than 1,500 kiloliters crude oil equivalent (COE)—will report to TMG their energy consumption and the status of energy conservation activities. This system, designed to allow small and medium-sized businesses to easily assess their CO2 emissions and undertake concrete energy conservation measures, is intended to advance the emission reduction activities of small and medium-sized businesses. b. Project to Promote Energy Conservation and Create Emission Credits for Small and Medium-Sized Facilities Under this project, subsidies will be provided to small and medium-sized facilities in Tokyo for energy-saving equipment upgrades that are performed in response to an energy consumption diagnosis or similar study, on the condition that any CO2 emission reduction credits thereby created are to be transferred at no cost to TMG. It is anticipated that widely publicizing the results of this project will spur independent energy-saving actions on the part of other business entities. 3. Supporting Energy Conservation Under this system, experts in household energy conservation who are registered with the metropolitan government as Household Energy Consultants visit households and provide residents with energy-saving advice tailored to their individual circumstances, free of charge. b. Expanding the Use of Solar Energy To achieve the goal of realizing an installed solar power generating capacity within Tokyo equivalent to one million kilowatts by 2016, in fiscal 2009 TMG initiated a two-year-long project to provide subsidies for a target of 40,000 solar power installations. ※ Referred site : “ No1-a” : http://www.blwisdom.com/word/key/100616.html ( Japanese ) ※ Rest of the parts of this slide referred the article from the site : http://www.kankyo.metro.tokyo.jp/en/attachement/tokyo_climate_change_strategy_progress_report_03312010.pdf ( English ) ・ p.11 (b) for “No1-b” ・ p.13 (1), (2) for “No2-a & b”, ・ p.16 3-(1), (2) for “No.3-a & b”, From the site of http://www.kankyo.metro.tokyo.jp/en/attachement/tokyo_climate_change_strategy_progress_report_03312010.pdf (English) pp.24-25 for No.4 pp.18-19 for No.5

Creating Sustainable Growth in Tokyo Through Climate Change Strategies ・ Clarifying the economic effects of Tokyo’s climate change responses ・ Promoting the development of energy-saving technologies through collaboration with Tokyo Metropolitan University, various research institutions of TMG, and others ・ Promoting the diffusion of energy-saving and renewable energy technologies available through Tokyo’s businesses 2. Transforming Tokyo into a Low-Carbon City Promoting reductions in carbon emissions through energy conservation measures for buildings, including for existing structures Reducing the over-reliance on automobiles Pursuing the establishment of district heating networks as a CO2 emission reduction measure Assessing urban energy sourcing options 3. Analysis of Climate Change Impacts on Tokyo Climate change impact research (begun in fiscal 2009) conducted over a three-year period ending in fiscal 2011 Research in collaboration with related ministries and research institutions so that Japan’s latest national climate change assessments can be used in the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report 4. Efforts at Tokyo Metropolitan Government Facilities Preparation of a revised Global Warming Prevention TMG Plan during fiscal 2010, with a stricter target for emission reductions by fiscal 2014, and clarification of strategies for achieving this goal During the first emission reduction period under the Tokyo Cap-and-Trade Program (fiscal 2010–2014), measures at the main Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building in Shinjuku to “fine-tune” energy efficiency (i.e., by refining procedures for the operation of equipment) and to encourage energy-conserving work styles (i.e., by making work styles more energy-efficient); during the second emission reduction period (fiscal 2015–2019), in the process of scheduled replacement of equipment, installation of highly energy-efficient equipment to further boost energy efficiency and allow TMG to achieve its obligations to reduce emissions 5. Networking with Leading Companies, NGOs, and Experts Holding symposiums and workshops taking advantage of effective opportunities Establishing agreements for cooperation with corporations and industry organizations 6. Collaboration with Other Local Governments in the Tokyo Metropolitan Area and Nationwide Holding policy seminars for representatives of other prefectures and major cities (designated by ordinance) Strengthening cooperation with prefectural governments throughout Japan working to expand the supply and utilization of renewable energy sources Collaborating with progressive local governments in the Tokyo Metropolitan Area, with the aim of introducing a cap-and-trade program with them 7. Collaboration with Sub-National Governments Worldwide Coordination with other sub-national governments worldwide through the Club of 20 Regions (R20) Strengthening cooperation with Seoul and other civic governments in Asia Collaboration with cities throughout the world, including through the C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group and ICLEI - Local Governments for Sustainability
