Rajendra Shende, Head of UNEP OzonAction Programme, thanks the Government of Serbia for hosting the network meeting in Belgrade. He praises the work of National Ozone Units from 12 countries in the region for achieving compliance with the Montreal Protocol's phase out schedules ahead of schedule. Shende welcomes private sector partners to a roundtable on ozone- and climate-friendly technologies, noting public-private partnerships are crucial to meeting development goals through phasing out HCFCs with maximum climate benefits. He highlights that the ECA network countries have mitigated nearly 6,000 tons of CFCs equivalent to 36 million tons of carbon dioxide annually, and phasing out HCFCs could provide an
The Carbon Conversation, February 2010: GreenbangEmily Wearmouth
On 2nd February 2010, a group of individuals united by a mutual interest in the environment met to talk about corporate carbon. The event was hosted at The Duke of Cambridge – an organic pub accredited by the Soil Association and powered by solar and wind energy – and featured a series of 5 minute (Ignite-style) presentations.
This presentation ‘Timelines for Carbon Change, a Macro View on the Forces at Work’ was given by Dan Ilett, founder of Greenbang.
This presentation, on the future of CCS, was delivered by Jon Gibbins, Director, UKCCSRC and Ciara O'Connor, Network Manager, UKCCSRC on Day 2 of the CCPilot100+ Conference at the University of Leeds.
Webinar Series: Carbon Sequestration Leadership Forum Part 1. CCUS in the Uni...Global CCS Institute
The Carbon Sequestration Leadership Forum (CSLF) is a Ministerial-level international climate change initiative that is focused on the development of improved cost-effective technologies for carbon capture and storage (CCS). As part of our commitment to raising awareness of CCS policies and technology, CSLF, with support from the Global CCS Institute, is running a series of webinars showcasing academics and researchers that are working on some of the most interesting CCS projects and developments from around the globe.
This first webinar comes to you from Abu Dhabi – the site of the Mid-Year CSLF Meeting and home of the Al Reyadah Carbon Capture, Utilization & Storage (CCUS) Project. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is one of the world’s major oil exporters, with some of the highest levels of CO2 emissions per capita. These factors alone make this a very interesting region for the deployment of CCUS both as an option for reducing CO2 emissions, but also linking these operations for the purposes of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) operations.
In the UAE, CCUS has attracted leading academic institutes and technology developers to work on developing advanced technologies for reducing CO2 emissions. On Wednesday, 26th April, we had the opportunity to join the Masdar Institute’s Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering, Mohammad Abu Zahra to learn about the current status and potential for CCUS in the UAE.
Mohammad presented an overview of the current large scale CCUS demonstration project in the UAE, followed by a presentation and discussion of the ongoing research and development activities at the Masdar Institute.
This webinar offered a rare opportunity to put your questions directly to this experienced researcher and learn more about the fascinating advances being made at the Masdar Institute.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

1. VIDEO Presentation for Serbia Network Meeting, Belgrade, Serbia, 10 May 2011
Mr. Rajendra Shende, Head of UNEP OzonAction Programme
Good Morning to all of you!
My name is Rajendra Shende, Head of OzonAction in Paris. First of all, my heart-felt thanks to the
Government of Serbia and particularly its Ministry of Environment for hosting this network meeting of
European & Central Asian countries.
My appreciation goes to the hard working National Ozone Units of 12 countries in the Region for their
targeted and tireless work of compliance with the Montreal Protocol phase out schedules. Many of you
have achieved compliance of phase out of CFCs, Halons and CTCs ahead of the Montreal Protocol
schedule which I consider as an extraordinary achievement, mainly because of such amazing
contribution from you, the Montreal Protocol is called as one of the most successful Multinational
Environmental Agreements by any standard.
Let me also welcome private sector partners, producers, researchers, trade associations and
refrigeration associations who will later take part in a roundtable on ozone- & climate-friendly
technologies. Public –private partnership is crucial to meet the Millennium Development Goals as
indicated in the Goal No 8. The challenge before this partnership is how to phase out HCFCs by a
maximum of climate benefits.
I would like to particularly mention the contribution made by the ECA network countries to mitigate
climate change by phasing out nearly 6,000 tons of CFCs which is nearly 36 million tons of carbon
dioxide equivalent / year. Meeting the challenge of HCFC phase out will result into additional climate
benefit of about 1 million tons of carbon dioxide equivalent / year. If we consider improvement in
energy-efficiency and destruction of CFCs and other ODS, the climate benefits will further enhance.
It is obvious that such benefits will not come to us automatically. We need to overcome the barriers of
technology transfer and set policies that will foster technology innovation. Your meeting will consider
such technology barriers through a presentation of a study recently made by UNEP. Limited
manifestation of unlimited potential of industries is the technology in this important meeting in
Belgrade.
UNEP is launching a virtual technology exhibition called “Ozone to Climate Technology Roadshow” to
give you the glimpses of that manifestation. The launch will take place simultaneously from Belgrade in
Serbia and Male in Maldives.
I wish you a great success and best wishes for the challenge ahead!
