World Forestry Day was established in 1971 by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization to raise awareness about the importance of forests. It is celebrated annually on March 21st. Forests are essential as they provide resources like wood, fiber, food and help regulate the climate. However, about 13 million hectares of forests are lost each year to deforestation. For World Forestry Day, events focus on educating people about forests and encouraging tree planting to help offset deforestation and climate change.

Every March 22nd World Water Day is celebrated to raise awareness of the importance of this necessary resource for life and key to poverty reduction, economic growth and environmental sustainability.
World Environment Day is an annual event that is aimed at being the biggest and most widely celebrated global day for positive environmental action. World Environment Day activities take place all year round and climax on 5 June every year, involving everyone from everywhere.
The World Environment Day celebration began in 1972 and has grown to become one of the main vehicles through which the United Nations stimulates worldwide awareness of the environment and encourages political attention and action.
Through World Environment Day, the United Nations Environment Programme is able to personalize environmental issues and enable everyone to realize not only their responsibility, but also their power to become agents for change in support of sustainable and equitable development.
World Environment Day is also a day for people from all walks of life to come together to ensure a cleaner, greener and brighter outlook for themselves and future generations.
Everyone counts in this initiative and World Environment Day relies on you to make it happen! We call for action — organize a neighborhood clean-up, stop using plastic bags and get your community to do the same, stop food waste, walk to work, start a recycling drive . . . the possibilities are endless.
Among the many water-related challenges worldwide, the crisis of scarcity, deteriorating water quality, the linkages between water and food security, and the need for improved governance are the most significant in the context of gender differences in access to and control over water resources.
Corin de Frietas presents on 3 August 2010 at Minas International.
There are predictions that water is “the new oil” – some are even saying the next big war will be fought over water. What most people don’t know is that water is already a major driver of many well-publicized conflicts across the world – from Darfur to the Israeli/Palestinian situation – as well as many disputes that get considerably less attention in the media – like the “water wars” in the western United States.
With global climate change predictions, the outlook is increasingly dire, making it key to develop a better understanding of elements that foster more integrated, sustainable, and democratic water governance in order to promote cooperation and avoid future conflict over this finite and invaluable resource.
This Minas International talk will help us understand the power of water and the integral role it will play in the future. We’ll learn who makes decisions about your water and how essentially everything you do can in someway be linked to water politics. We’ll also learn about Corin’s research into water governance in Belo Horizonte and Brazil.
Corin de Freitas is a 2009-2010 Fulbright U.S. Student Fellow researching water governance in the Rio das Velhas Basin. She grew up in the beautiful but water-scarce US state of Colorado, where she first was introduced to the notion of water as the nexus of all human needs and activities – from public health tto environmental sustainability to economic growth to food security. Since then, she has been exploring governance, conflict, and cooperation through the lens of water. This Septemeber, she will continue her research in Vancouver Canada at the University of British Columbia.

Statement by the executive secretary of the convention on biological diversit...Christina Parmionova
Forests harbor some 80 per cent of the world’s terrestrial biodiversity; they support more than a
billion people with food, shelter, income, and energy. And they provide three quarters of the
world’s accessible freshwater. Containing over half of the global carbon stock in soils and
vegetation, forests also support us in combating climate change.
The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, or the Biodiversity Plan, is a
comprehensive plan to protect forests and all ecosystems. Its goals are closely aligned with the
Global Forest Goals. They aim to to protect and restore nature; to prosper with nature; to share
benefits fairly; and to invest and collaborate for nature.
Over the past year, we have seen bold actions on forest conservation regionally and globally. A
number of countries have achieved major reductions in the rate of deforestation. The Belem
Declaration on the future of the Amazon Forest, the Three Basins Summit, and the Climate Change
Conference all set renewed commitments to step up action to protect forests.
But forests continue to face major threats.
The theme this year for International Day of Forests “Forests and Innovation: New Solutions for a
Better World” is thus very pertinent. We need innovation and new solutions to provide early
warning of forest fires and other threats, to combat organized crime, and to promote sustainable
forest management and fair supply chains in support of a sustainable bioeconomy. New solutions
can build on the knowledge, innovations and practices of indigenous peoples and local
communities and help to secure their rights over land and resources.
Let us all work together to protect forests and to implement the Biodiversity Plan.
Let us work to halt and reverse the loss of biodiversity by 2030, towards our vision on living in
harmony with nature.
We can all be part of the Plan.

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.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

3. HISTORY OF WORLD FORESTRY DAY
The World Forestry Day was established in the year 1971 at the 23rd
General Assembly of European Confederation of Agriculture. And it was
decided to be celebrated as an annual event celebration on 21st of
March by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization. World
Forestry Day was established in the Conference of States members of
Food and Agriculture Organization by voting to establish it. This event
was originated in well planned manner to give support in contributing
towards the public awareness about the importance of the forests.
4. WHY WORLD FORESTRY DAY IS CELEBRATED
Forests are very essential part of the life on Earth. They always fulfill the demands of the human
beings by providing shadow, shelter, refreshment including clean air and water. In the modern
world of growing global population increases the demands of forest products so the forests are
at big risks of deforestation and degradation.
Forests are the complex living community of the trees which provides home and shelter to a big
range of animals and the soil beneath it inhabit the variety of invertebrates, fungi and bacteria
playing significant role in balancing the nutrients cycle in the soil and forest. World forestry day
celebration provides a big opportunity to all the people to learn more about their contributions
in maintaining the well-being of people. During this event celebration people share their views
and ideas by working together to incorporate the forests into future climate change strategies.
According to the resources it has been noted that there is an annual loss of around 13 million
hectares or 32 million acres of the forests by the people. Loss of the forests enhances the loss
of inhabitant animal species to the forest. Deforestation imbalances the balance of natural
climate which lead to the global warming by increasing the CO2 and decreasing the O2
percentage all across the world.
Almost 30% of the total land worldwide is occupied by the forests containing over 60,000 tree
species which are ultimately the great resources of the food, fuel, fodder, essential oils, resins,
latex, gums, medicines, fiber, water, woods for the population of around 1.6 billion poorest
people of the world.
5. HOW WORLD FORESTRY DAY IS CELEBRATED
World forestry day is celebrated every year by visiting the local forests in order
to learn more about their contributions towards the well-being of people. The
countries which are the forest-rich (occupying almost 2/3 of total forested
area) includes Canada, the Russian Federation, Brazil, the United States,
Democratic Republic of Congo, Australia, Indonesia, China, Peru and India.
Almost 1/3rd of all the forests are considered as the primary forests where no
any human activities are seen and the ecological processes are balanced.
Around 6 million hectares of the forests are getting lost due to deforestation
on annual basis.
During the event celebration the tree plantation campaign is encouraged among
the common people through many activities. People are the main target of
this campaign to get aware about the serious imbalance of food production
and population explosion day by day including the contribution of forests in
their lives. They get motivated towards the plantation in the nearby areas as
well as stop the deforestation.
6. The United Nations General Assembly proclaimed 21 March the
International Day of Forests (IDF) in 2012. The Day celebrates and raises
awareness of the importance of all types of forests. On each International
Day of Forests, countries are encouraged to undertake local, national and
international efforts to organize activities involving forests and trees, such
as tree planting campaigns. The theme for each International Day of
Forests is chosen by the Collaborative Partnership on Forests. The theme
for 2017 is Forests and Energy.
7. 2017 Theme: Forests and
energy
This global celebration of
forests provides a
platform to raise
awareness of the
importance of all types
of woodlands and trees,
and celebrate the ways
in which they sustain
and protect us. This
year we highlight the
importance of wood
energy in improving
people's lives, powering
sustainable
development and
mitigating climate
change.
8. Wood is a major renewable
energy source - Wood
provides the world with
more energy than solar,
hydroelectric or wind
power, accounting for
roughly 45 percent of
current global
renewable energy
supply (27 percent of
total primary energy
supply in Africa, 13
percent in Latin America
and the Caribbean and 5
percent in Asia and
Oceania)
WOOD IS A MAJOR RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCE
9. Wood energy powers economic
development - Almost 900
million people, mostly in
developing countries, are
engaged in the wood-energy
sector on a part- or full-time
basis. Modernizing the wood
energy sector can help
revitalize rural economies
and stimulate enterprise
development – greater
investment in wood energy
production and advanced
wood fuels can provide
revenue to finance better
forest management, more
growing forests and more
jobs.
WOOD ENERGY POWER
10. Wood and trees
contribute to
optimal urban
living and lower
energy bills -
Strategically
placed trees in
urban areas can
cool the air by
between 2 to 8
degrees C.
WOOD AND TREES
11. Wood energy mitigates climate
change and fosters
sustainable development -
Globally, forests hold an
energy content
approximately 10 times that
of the world’s annual primary
energy consumption. They
thus have significant
potential as renewable
resources to meet global
energy demand. Forests
provide clean air, water and
energy. Sustainably
managed forests can provide
renewable and carbon
neutral energy for a greener
future.
WOOD ENERGY
12. Forests for energy, now and in a
future global green economy -
Greater investment in
technological innovation and in
sustainably managed forests is
the key to increasing forests’ role
as a major source of renewable
energy. In this way, we invest in
our sustainable future, in meeting
several Sustainable Development
Goals and in growing a green
economy. Increased areas of
sustainably household and
community woodlots and the use
of clean and efficient wood
stoves can give millions more
people in developing countries
access to cheap, reliable and
renewable energy.
