This document discusses Vietnam's climate change policy and adaptation efforts. It provides an overview of Vietnam's climate change policies, noting strengths like an extensive policy landscape but also challenges like a lack of policy coordination and implementation gaps. It examines Vietnam's adaptation goals in its INDC and funding sources. Most climate spending is for infrastructure and comes from the Ministry of Agriculture, though many projects have low climate relevance. The document proposes several theses on improving adaptation effectiveness and reporting, such as taking a needs-based approach and improving stakeholder involvement and information flows. It concludes by asking how global processes can better support national and local adaptation priorities and capacity.Alison Johns

The document discusses strategic leadership in turbulent times for higher education. It notes the changing policy landscape for universities with increasing division globally and within countries. It outlines some of the demands being placed on higher education institutions, such as greater efficiencies, preventing extremism, and acting as engines of economic growth. This is leading to an increasingly marketized and stratified system of higher education. It emphasizes the importance of strategic leadership to set a distinctive institutional offer and lead across boundaries during this time of change.The Palgrave International Handbook Of Higher Education Policy And Governance...

This document discusses international student mobility trends and how national policies can impact mobility. It shows that while the UK remains a top destination, mobility is becoming more regional and countries like Australia are increasing as hosts. National policies around visas, internationalization strategies, and post-study work can influence global flows of students by making a country more attractive or restrictive to international students. Short-term programs and transnational education are also changing the landscape of student mobility.Encyclopedia of International Higher Education Systems and Institutions Jung ...

Chaulukya or Solanki was one of the Rajputs born from Agnikul. In the Vadnagar inscription, the origin of this dynasty is told from Brahma's Chauluk or Kamandalu. They ruled in Gujarat from the latter half of the tenth century to the beginning of the thirteenth century. Their capital was in Anahilwad. It is not certain whether it had any relation with the Chalukya dynasty of the south or not. It is worth mentioning that the name of the dynasty of the south was 'Chaluky' while the dynasty of Gujarat has been called 'Chaulukya'. The rulers of this dynasty were the supporters and patrons of Jainism.Ray Dalio How Countries go Broke the Big Cycle

Prof. Leonel and Prof. Dennis approached educational uses, practices, and strategies of using immersion as a lens to interpret, design, and planning educational activities in a sustainable way. Rather than one-off gimmicks, the intent is to enable instructors (and institutions) to be able to include them in their regular activities, including the ability to evaluate and redesign them.
Immersion as a phenomenon enables interpreting pedagogical activities in a learning-agnostic way: you take a stance on the learning theory to follow, and leverage immersion to envision and guide your practice.ICT-8-Module-REVISED-K-10-CURRICULUM.pdf
