1. Sustainable development aims to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
2. The concept has its roots in the late 1700s but gained attention in the 1980s with the Brundtland Commission report which defined sustainable development.
3. There are three pillars of sustainable development - environment, economy, and society. Achieving balance across these three is the goal of sustainable development.The future we want sustainability

The Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) is a leading program for certifying greenhouse gas emission reductions and removals from projects. It provides a framework for projects to measure, report and verify their GHG impacts in a transparent way. The VCS establishes baselines to determine the emissions that would occur without the project, and assesses additionality to confirm the project results in additional reductions beyond business as usual. Projects must also demonstrate that reductions are permanent and avoid leakage to other sectors. The VCS utilizes various tools and methodologies to evaluate key aspects of projects like additionality, permanence, and biodiversity and social impacts.Climate change governance and institutions research contributing towards deve...

This document discusses carbon credits and their role in addressing climate change. It begins by explaining the causes and impacts of climate change. It then defines carbon credits as certificates issued for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Countries can trade carbon credits on the international market under the Kyoto Protocol's emissions trading mechanism. The document provides details on how carbon credits are generated and traded, and the role of the Clean Development Mechanism and other frameworks in facilitating emissions reductions between developed and developing countries. It concludes by emphasizing the social and economic benefits of participating in carbon credit markets.History of Negotiations 
History of Negotiations Climate Action Network South Asia
油
The UNFCCC was negotiated from 1991-1992 and entered into force in 1994, with 193 countries ratifying it. It divides parties into three categories based on development status. Annex 1 countries have financial obligations. Annual COP meetings have been held since 1995 to negotiate strengthening commitments, resulting in the Kyoto Protocol in 1997 which set emission reduction targets. The Marrakesh Accords in 2001 provided implementation details. Subsequent COPs addressed extending commitments beyond 2012 and established institutions like the ADP to negotiate a new legal framework by 2015 for post-2020 action.Product Stewardship

While the NTCRS has been successful with over 100% of products recycled, there is still room for improvement such as increasing consumer awareness and capturing exported products. The document recommends expanding the scheme by establishing clear roles, improving education, and expanding the list of covered products.Convention on Long Range Transboundary air pollution

The 1979 Convention on Long-Range Transboundary Air Pollution (CLRTAP) was the first agreement to address transboundary air pollution. It established a framework for reducing air pollution across Europe, North America, and Russia. CLRTAP and its eight protocols have contributed to significant declines in sulfur, nitrogen oxides, and other pollutants. The Convention continues working to address new threats and involve additional regions in reducing harmful air pollution.Your Day-to-Day Carbon Footprint: Part of the Solution or the Problem?

The document discusses key concepts related to global carbon markets and climate change mitigation efforts. It describes the Kyoto Protocol and mechanisms like emissions trading, joint implementation, and the Clean Development Mechanism. China is the largest supplier of emissions reductions credits but Africa accounts for a small share of projects. There is debate around whether requirements should apply equally to developed and developing countries given differences in emissions histories and development levels. Carbon markets aim to reduce emissions cost-effectively but some argue they have not adequately supported projects in countries most vulnerable to climate change.The Business Case For Sustainability

Carbon credits represent the right to emit one ton of carbon dioxide. The Kyoto Protocol established a cap and trade system where countries are assigned emission limits and can trade carbon credits. If a country emits less than its limit, it can sell excess credits to countries that exceed their limits. While carbon trading provides incentives to reduce emissions, it has been criticized for allowing countries to simply buy credits rather than reduce their own emissions and lacking a unified global framework.Water Pollution 
Water Pollution Dr. Salem Baidas

May 2024. Water pollution, also known as marine pollution, is the contamination of water sources by substances that make it unusable for human activities and disrupt aquatic ecosystems.
Major contributors of water pollution include industrial waste, agriculture and farming, accidental oil spills, sewage, and marine dumping.
The effects of water pollution include severe health issues, economic disruption, and disrupting the food chain.
Water pollution affects both surface and groundwater sources, with groundwater pollution causing unsafe use and surface water pollution affecting all water sources above ground.
Types of water pollution include chemical, physical, and nutrient-rich fertilizers.
Water pollution control, prevention, and mitigation strategies include effective wastewater treatment, stormwater management, soil and sediment erosion control, organic farming, biodegradable plastics, and water conservation.Sustainable Development Goal #2: Zero Hunger - Challenging the Hegemony of Mo...

This document discusses the relationship between forests and achieving SDG 2 of ending hunger and malnutrition. It argues that forests directly and indirectly contribute to targets of ensuring access to food, ending malnutrition, conserving genetic diversity, and supporting smallholder farmers. Integrating forests into agriculture through approaches like agroforestry can help create more sustainable and resilient food production systems. However, challenges remain in changing policies, behaviors, land access issues, and longstanding institutional structures to fully realize the potential of forests for achieving food security goals. The takeaway is that forests are integral, not obstacles, to agriculture and meeting SDG 2 will require recoupling nature and food production through landscape-level integrated approaches.role of youth in cleaner and greener environment

The document discusses the concept of sustainability and its key components. Sustainability refers to the ability to continue over time and maintain a certain level or rate. It has a narrow meaning related to the environment and a broad meaning of sustainable development. The main components of sustainability are environmental, economic, political, social, and fiscal. Environmental sustainability focuses on conservation, renewable energies, and protecting biodiversity. Economic sustainability promotes efficient and responsible use of resources. Political sustainability protects civil liberties and democratic institutions. Social sustainability aims to achieve fair access to healthcare, education, and cultural preservation. Fiscal sustainability ensures government finances are sustainable in the long run.Introduction to UNFCCC & International Climate Negotiations

Grief counseling is a very broad topic. You will need to narrow both the population and the presenting problem a bit further when developing your group. For example, it will be important to think about the nature of the grief/loss you may focus on in your group (death of a spouse, child, extended family member, etc). Additionally, there are a lot of group plans out there that focus on grief and loss. It is important to develop your own plan and not simply copy one that is already in place.
