Presented by Lini Wollenberg, CCAFS Low Emissions Development, at the GIZ expert meeting on How to realize the potential of soil carbon benefits? Practical pathways for achieving impact on 28 April 2020.
This document discusses various climate mitigation and adaptation strategies and measures. It describes scientific measures like climate change research. Technological measures include increasing efficiency and deploying green technologies. Legal measures involve international frameworks like the UNFCCC and national plans. Economic and policy measures encompass carbon pricing, incentives, and ecosystem-based management. Individual and societal measures focus on public awareness campaigns.
Non-state actors play an important role in addressing climate change impacts at the local level in Africa. They are implementing mitigation and adaptation actions, but face governance and institutional barriers. Key challenges include territorializing climate policies through greater involvement of non-state actors in planning processes. Integrated approaches are needed that promote intersectoral dialogue and territorialization of policies to strengthen understanding of climate issues and access to climate finance for non-state actors.
- COP28 resulted in some notable outcomes on mitigation, adaptation, finance, and cooperation, but more work remains to be done to strengthen climate action
- NDCs should be strengthened to align with limiting warming to 1.5C, including more ambitious 2030 and 2035 targets, in line with IPCC guidance
- Commitments made at COP28 could lead to additional emissions reductions, but need to be reflected in updated NDCs and implemented through policies and financing
- Full implementation of COP28 commitments will require action from all sectors of society to deploy financing towards transitioning to low-carbon development

The document provides guidance on aligning NDCs with the 1.5°C temperature goal of the Paris Agreement based on the outcomes of the first Global Stocktake. It recommends that countries contextualize the Paris Agreement goals, identify key emitting sectors in NDCs, assess climate scenarios as part of long-term strategies, set ambitious targets considering national context and the Global Stocktake, ensure stakeholder engagement and consideration of financial needs, and establish robust measurement, reporting and verification systems. As an example, it outlines Rwanda's long-term vision of becoming a low-carbon and climate-resilient country by 2050 through sectoral programs, and its revised NDC with more ambitious 2030 targets for emissions reductions and adaptation.
Singapore introduced a carbon tax in 2019 to reduce emissions and support its climate goals. The tax applies to large emitters releasing over 25,000 tons of CO2 annually, covering 80% of emissions. It starts at $5/ton but will likely increase to $10-15/ton by 2030. Revenue supports energy efficiency initiatives. The tax was introduced after extensive consultation and aims to enhance existing mitigation efforts while maintaining competitiveness through a simple mechanism and rebates to reduce costs. It is part of Singapore's strategy to meet its 2030 pledge and encourage regional climate action.

The USDA has set a target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the agriculture and forestry sectors by 120 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent annually by 2025. This target is part of the US commitment to reduce overall national emissions by 26-28% below 2005 levels. The USDA will pursue this target through a set of "building blocks" that promote practices like soil health, grazing land management, forest conservation, and use of wood products to both reduce emissions and increase carbon storage in lands and forests. Key strategies include partnerships with industry and producers to adopt practices voluntarily with incentive programs. Progress will be measured quantitatively toward specific goals in each building block area.
ROLE OF TECHNOLOGY IN CLIMATE CHAGE_OWITIZablone Owiti

Water is critical for meeting commitments of the Paris Agreement and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. Our economies rely on water, with recent estimates putting the economic value of water and freshwater ecosystems at USD 58 trillion - equivalent to 60% of global GDP. At the same time, water related risks are increasing in frequency and scale in the context of climate change.
How are investments shaping our economies and societies exposure to water risk? What role can the financial system play in supporting water security? And how can increased understanding of how finance both impacts and depends on water resources spur action towards greater water security?
This OECD Green Talks LIVE on Tuesday 14 May 2024 from 15:00 to 16:00 CEST discussed the evolving landscape for assessing water risks to the financial system.

This presentation is for us to know that how our Environment need Attention for protection of our natural resources which are depleted day by day that's why we need to take time and shift our attention to renewable energy sources instead of non-renewable sources which are better and Eco-friendly for our environment. these renewable energy sources are so helpful for our planet and for every living organism which depends on environment.
Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.
Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...Joshua Orris
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

Environment, New Zealand
2. Background
• The Government of Aotearoa New Zealand is committed to doing its part
in mitigating the worst effects of anthropogenic climate change, by
reducing emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) across the economy in
keeping with our international treaties, agreements and commitments.
• This has been reflected in our legislated target under the Climate Change
Response Act 2002 (CCRA), which includes:
• reducing gross biogenic methane by 10% by 2030 from 2017 levels and by 24–
47% by 2050 from 2017 levels; and,
• reducing all other greenhouse gases to net zero by 2050.
• Agriculture contributes around half of New Zealand’s gross greenhouse gas
emissions. Including 91% of biogenic methane and 94% of nitrous oxide
emissions.
• If we are to have a chance of achieving these targets, it is important that
significant reductions are achieved within the agricultural sector.
