Open source programming languages such as Perl and Python have the highest instance of open source use in an organization at 57% according to a recent Forrester Research survey conducted with Dr. Dobb's readers. As dynamic languages presence and importance increases, organizations will rely more on enterprise-ready dynamic languages to create higher quality products, to take products to market quicker and to conserve development time and costs for core competencies.
The Green Race is On is the title of the WBCSD's Annual Review 2009 ( 28.8 MB) . It is only in the past five years that thoughtful companies have begun to understand the vast opportunities of moving toward a sustainable world, and that science has made clear the global catastrophes inherent in un-sustainable development.
This Annual Review celebrates both the 15 year anniversary of the WBCSD and how member companies are engaging with sustainable development. In it we cover the pertinent issues challenging us, including:
Energy, climate, development and urbanization and the link between them
The re-invention of “green jobs”
Smarter grids, new investments in energy supply and distribution
Sustainable consumption, with consumers beginning to look at individual purchasing patterns and their impacts on the planet
Global and local water challenges
Advanced green energy technologies
Business opportunities associated with the sustainable management and stewardship of ecosystems and the creation of market mechanisms for ecosystem services.

Presentation from the World Teak Conference 2013 in Bangkok: Forest Carbon: Obstacles & possible Solutions:
An introduction/overview of the market and situations prompting discussion from a project developers perspective on the difficulties faced on the ground in setting up a Carbon project based on experiences of the groups work in the sector.
Powerful forces are driving a green economic revolution worldwide, providing in the process a strong lever for broad-based economic development in many parts of the globe, and often re-orienting national development trajectories.
South Africa, having one of the most carbon-intensive economies in the world, is no exception. Its national government is strongly committed to unleashing the potential of the green economy. This is clearly spelt out in the ‘New Growth Path’2 strategy document, which classifies the green economy as one of the ten ‘jobs drivers’. The ‘Industrial Policy Action Plan’3 in turn, encompasses strategic initiatives to develop green industries and to improve energy efficiencies. More recently, the ‘National Climate Change Response Strategy’ white paper highlighted a set of near term flagship programmes that underline the progressive transition towards a greener economy4. Importantly, the window of opportunity is quite limited and the international environment is increasingly competitive. This indicates a degree of urgency if South Africa is to succeed in the localisation drive.
How do we create the resilient, flexible and adaptive cites of the future?
