The analysis highlights major data limitations and the importance of implementing aggressive transport and urban planning policies to avoid undesirable increases in fuel use and emissions as motorization continues in India.
Ethiopian GTP- Macroeconomic policy and strategy reviewAsmamaw Amare
The document summarizes Ethiopia's macroeconomic policy and strategy as outlined in its Growth and Transformation Plan (GTP). The GTP aims to maintain rapid economic growth of 11-15% annually through 2025 by increasing agricultural productivity by 8-14%, industrial growth by 17-21%, and service sector growth by 11-13%. Fiscal policy will focus on raising domestic revenue to reduce the deficit while monetary policy will target single digit inflation and a stable exchange rate. Progress to date indicates GDP growth of 8.5% but below targets, with challenges around inflation, tax collection efficiency, and ensuring quality in infrastructure and education improvements.

1. Cap-and-trade programs establish a limit or "cap" on greenhouse gas emissions. Polluting firms are issued permits allowing them to emit a certain amount of gases. Firms can trade permits, creating a market price for emissions. Over time, the cap is reduced, lowering total emissions.
2. A carbon tax sets a price per ton of greenhouse gases emitted. This makes polluters pay for external costs of emissions and incentivizes reducing emissions to cut tax costs. The tax increases production costs, lowering output.
3. Command-and-control regulation uses rules like quotas, bans, and subsidies to directly control pollution. However, it involves high monitoring and enforcement costs and may favor producers over consumers

Cap and Trade Emissions - Carbon Tax or Carbon Pricing - 101paul young cpa, cga
This presentation discusses cap and trade systems for carbon emissions. It defines cap and trade as a system that puts a limit on pollution and allows companies to buy and sell permits to pollute. It then explains how cap and trade systems work by having a central authority allocate a limited number of permits that polluters must hold in order to emit specific quantities of pollution. The presenter provides an overview of issues with the cap and trade systems in California and Europe, including a surplus of permits that has driven prices down in both regions.
The Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone LayerCat Bowie
The Montreal Protocol aimed to eliminate substances that deplete the ozone layer in order to protect human health and the environment. It called for phasing out chlorofluorocarbons and other ozone depleting substances, which were commonly found in products like refrigerants and aerosols. The protocol was groundbreaking in that it took action to regulate these substances before there was concrete proof of ozone depletion. It has since been highly successful, with over 190 parties phasing out the vast majority of ozone depleting substances and finding alternatives. The protocol also encouraged developing nations through financial aid and grace periods to meet requirements.
OECD Green Talks LIVE: Moving the world economy to net zero: the role of tran...OECD Environment
To meet the temperature goals of the Paris Agreement, decarbonisation measures will need to be financed across all sectors of the economy — most importantly in energy-intensive and hard-to-abate sectors in emerging markets and developing economies. As governments and the private sector ramp up their net-zero pledges, grapple with the ongoing energy crisis and face rising inflation, how to achieve those goals is increasingly put into question.
In the midst of these challenges, market actors and jurisdictions have ramped up efforts around transition finance, such as developing taxonomies and guidelines. But transition finance is often criticised for opening the door to greenwashing and risking emission-intensive lock-in. How can we ensure the development of robust corporate transition plans to support credible and meaningful transition investments towards net zero? And how can emission-intensive lock-in and greenwashing be avoided?
Experts on transition finance and transition planning will present and discuss their importance for moving to net-zero pathways in hard-to-abate sectors and emerging markets and developing economies, as well as outstanding challenges in this space. The presentation will draw from the recent report OECD Guidance on Transition Finance: Ensuring Credibility of Corporate Climate Transition Plans (Find the report here: https://oe.cd/transition-fin), which proposes 10 key elements to help corporates in developing transition plans, financiers to identify credible investment opportunities, and policymakers to develop strong policy frameworks.

The National Transport Authority developed the Regional Modelling System (RMS) to support evidence-based decision making. The RMS integrates transport, land use, and demographic data to model travel demand across Ireland. It allows the NTA to evaluate policies and infrastructure projects, maximize transport system efficiency, and ensure value for money. The RMS was customized for Irish conditions based on extensive data sources. It consists of regional multimodal models that cover all modes of transport nationally.
This document discusses the challenges of transitioning to alternative energy sources and reducing fossil fuel emissions. It makes three key points:
1) Fossil fuel usage continues to rise significantly despite progress in alternative energy, and alternative energy is not growing fast enough to keep up with increasing energy demand.
2) There are physical limits to how quickly new energy technologies can be deployed at scale. Governments need long-term, stable policy frameworks to encourage changes to energy systems over time.
3) A carbon price policy can drive the implementation of emissions reductions projects over time, while complementary policies are needed to support new technologies like carbon capture and storage through research, demonstration projects, and preparation for deployment. However, additional policies
The document provides an analysis of policy and technology options that can help ASEAN countries achieve their greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets under the Paris Agreement. It finds that while the ASEAN region is making progress toward its Paris goals, additional action is still needed. Specifically:
- Under unconditional targets, the ASEAN region faces an emissions gap of around 400 MtCO2e by 2030, requiring an 11% reduction from current projections. Under conditional targets, the gap is around 900 MtCO2e, requiring a 24% reduction.
- Policy options like carbon pricing and support for natural gas and renewables can help close these gaps cost-effectively. Electricity market reforms to integrate more renewables are also important.
World Resources Institute hosted a launch event on 21 November 2014 for two new Greenhouse Gas Protocol Standards to inform government climate change strategies.
Building on previous GHG Protocol standards, the Policy and Action Standard helps evaluate the effectiveness of specific policies or measures in achieving greenhouse gas emissions reductions, empowering policymakers and analysts to better assess and communicate their progress. The Mitigation Goal Standard takes a bigger picture view, enabling governments to determine their emissions trajectory and whether their policy portfolio aligns with reaching their climate goals. Both standards are applicable for all levels of government.

Overall, the document examines how Asia Pacific countries are pursuing low carbon green growth strategies.
Supporting Carbon Pricing: complementary policies that work with carbon pricingAnnette Dubreuil
Canada’s Ecofiscal Commission’s latest report, Supporting Carbon Pricing: How to identify policies that genuinely complement an economy-wide carbon price, provides governments with a framework to identify these policies. In particular the report provides three rationales for when non-pricing policies are justified: they fill a gap in carbon pricing policies (gap-fillers), they boost the signal of the carbon price (signal-boosters), or they generate significant co-benefits (benefit-expanders).
In this webinar Jason Dion will go through the findings and recommendations of the report, and answer questions.

The document discusses balancing objectives in climate policy related to land conservation, biofuels, and climate mitigation. It notes that climate policy affects energy production, use, and land use, and outlines key policies like cap-and-trade. It discusses issues around offsets policy, biofuels, and land conservation programs, and the need for flexibility given uncertainties. The document emphasizes balancing multiple objectives through communication and process in the policy discussion.
This document summarizes a report by The Climate Institute analyzing the climate policies of the Australian Coalition government. It finds that the Coalition's Emission Reduction Fund would lead to 8-10% higher emissions by 2020 than current legislation. It would also require $4 billion more to achieve Australia's 5% emissions target. Modeling shows the Coalition's policy allowing emissions to increase 45% by 2050, exceeding the global 2 degree warming limit. The report recommends maintaining current legislation and reviewing the Coalition's policy to ensure emissions reductions are scalable and credible.
The document discusses technology solutions for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and achieving climate security goals. It finds that while the technologies needed to meet emissions reduction targets by 2020 are already proven, greater investment is required to develop technologies like carbon capture and storage that will be critical for deeper long-term cuts by 2050. International cooperation via mechanisms established at Copenhagen will be important to accelerate technology deployment, drive costs down, and support developing countries in adopting low-carbon solutions. Overall, the solutions are achievable but will require concerted global effort across technology development, demonstration, and diffusion.
OECD Green Talks Webinar: Carbon Pricing Trends - Measuring the MomentumOECDtax
Decarbonisation keeps climate change in check and contributes to cleaner air and water. Carbon pricing is a cost-effective means of reducing CO2 emissions, but countries are still not using this tool to its full potential to curb climate change. xperts from the OECD Centre for Tax Policy and Administration presented the key findings from their report on Effective Carbon Rates, which measures pricing of CO2-emissions from energy use in 42 OECD and G20 countries, covering 80% of world emissions, and provided a first appreciation of countries’ progress since 2012.
This document discusses policy options for transitioning to a low-carbon economy by 2050. It explores sustaining economic growth while transforming energy production and consumption. The presentation builds on previous publications by identifying policy ideas without prescribing specific approaches. It discusses challenges like uncertain development pathways and high/low carbon scenarios. Milestones by 2025 include efficiency gains, commercializing carbon capture and storage, renewable deployment, and vehicle efficiency. National policy frameworks and international cooperation on technology and emissions management can help achieve long-term climate goals.
Carbon Neutrality in the Energy Community - Green Policy CenterTibor Schaffhauser
While a growing number of countries announce their 2050 climate neutrality pledges and Contracting Parties of the Western Balkans have already committed to this target by the adoption of the Sofia Declaration, concrete long-term plans of action are still to be made. A new study of the Green Policy Center provides recommendations on how to set up long-term strategies to reach a climate-neutral future in the Energy Community.
The Committee on Climate Change published its latest advice on UK progress reducing emissions. While emissions fell 8% in 2014, uncertainties remain in power, buildings, transport and other sectors. The Committee recommends extending low-carbon policies and funding streams beyond the next few years to provide certainty. It also recommends specific actions in the power, buildings and transport sectors. The Committee sees potential for significant sustainable bioenergy supply from waste and residues, including for anaerobic digestion, but notes it is important to use this optimally and avoid lock-in to keep options open. The government must respond to the report by October, and the Committee will advise on the fifth carbon budget by end of year.
Global emissions pathways consistent with limiting warming to 1.5°C show that by 2030, global GHG emissions would need to be reduced by 43% compared to 2019 levels. Global CO2 emissions would need to be reduced by 45%, and global methane emissions reduced by 33%. These pathways also indicate unabated coal power would need to be phased out globally by 2040, and the energy supply sector would need to reach net zero CO2 emissions by 2040. While global pathways provide benchmarks, more work is needed to account for equity and national circumstances when considering how countries can enhance their NDCs. Tools exist to help countries explore how to strengthen emissions targets and increase sectoral coverage in their NDCs in alignment with global

Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.

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.
Climate Change All over the World .pptxsairaanwer024
Climate change refers to significant and lasting changes in the average weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It encompasses both global warming driven by human emissions of greenhouse gases and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns. While climate change is a natural phenomenon, human activities, particularly since the Industrial Revolution, have accelerated its pace and intensity

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.
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.

The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.
