Following your stated “Investment in biofuels, biomass and waste-to-energy is projected to feedback from last year, we've added increase from $14bn in 2010 to $80bn by 2020.” To put this into a renewables new features to the Congress: perspective for you, this 2020 figure nearly represents the size of the wind industry today. Extended Plenary Keynote Session How are we actually going to achieve this? Firstly, it is imperative that our 6 Brand New Conference Sessions industry works together NOW to ensure that true growth is achieved. We only have to look towards China as a case study to see how it will dominate the 25% Increase in Exhibition Floor global stage in 20 years, because of investments being made today. Capacity Secondly, in these times of economic uncertainty it is very easy for you as an Networking Skills Zone individual, and us all as an industry, to play it safe. This is a mistake. As history has taught us, it is the people who push the boundaries, take (qualified) risks Accessible Press Area and put their money where their mouth is – even during challenging times – who end up on top. Exhibitor Showcase and This brochure outlines all the reasons you should attend our Congress this year. But Demonstration Area if you just need one reason to attend – know this: even during 2008-09, when the Enhanced Peer-to-Peer Networking world was dealing with the economic downturn and the biofuels industry faced it's own major challenges, we retained record attendee numbers. When times are hard, Software people reduce the number of conferences they go to; but they never stop attending WBM TV and Audio-Recorded great events where they know all their networking and learning goals can be Presentations achieved. Our history has already proven this. If you only attend one bioenergy conference in 2012 – make sure it’s World Biofuels Markets.

  • Green Illusions Is Not a Litany of Despair
    “In this terrific book, Ozzie Zehner explains why most current approaches to the world’s gathering climate and energy crises are not only misguided but actually counterproductive. We fool ourselves in innumerable ways, and Zehner is especially good at untangling sloppy thinking. Yet Green Illusions is not a litany of despair. It’s full of hope—which is different from false hope, and which requires readers with open, skeptical minds.”— David Owen, author of Green Metropolis “Think the answer to global warming lies in solar panels, wind turbines, and biofuels? Think again. In this thought-provoking and deeply researched critique of popular ‘green’ solutions, Zehner makes a convincing case that such alternatives won’t solve our energy problems; in fact, they could make matters even worse.”—Susan Freinkel, author of Plastic: A Toxic Love Story “There is no obvious competing or comparable book. Green Illusions has the same potential to sound a wake-up call in the energy arena as was observed with Silent Spring in the environment, and Fast Food Nation in the food system.”—Charles Francis, former director of the Center for Sustainable Agriculture Systems at the University of Nebraska “This is one of those books that you read with a yellow marker and end up highlighting most of it.”—David Ochsner, University of Texas at Austin Green Illusions Our Sustainable Future Series Editors Charles A.

  • The Interaction Between Conflict and Natural Disasters 2 Sustainable
    Oxfam Novib Network nr 3 June 2009 Dear partner, This time Network kicks off with an article on an effective combination of disaster and conflict reduction programmes. There is also attention for the ever-bigger role of women in Arab countries. Alongside, captured in pictures, a unique public enquiry on climate change in Malawi. Furthermore, the state of affairs in the cocoa chain, a report of a performance by De Groene Bende, and much more in this Oxfam Novib Network. Contents: The interaction between conflict and natural disasters 2 Sustainable cocoa chain in sight 4 Cash grants as relief intervention 5 Dreams of Arab Women's NGOs 6 Poor people in Malawi raise their voice 8 Who benefits from private health care? 9 Building Oxfam Mexico 11 Free from Oxfam GB 12 Climate change demands aid reform 13 Promising festival season 14 Oxfam Novib is a member of Oxfam International The interaction between conflict and natural disasters There are many communities in the world that face both the risk of conflict and the risk of natural disasters. However, Disaster Risk Reduction programmes give hardly any attention to conflict and One-sided focus on either disaster risk reduction or Conflict Transformation programmes conflict prevention simplifies local realities. rarely refer to disaster risks and how these interact with (renewed) conflict or its solutions. There is a need to combine approaches. Examples show that the risks of disaster and conflict impact on each other: flooding can cause renewed conflict, conflict over resources can block initiatives for disaster prevention, or awareness about disaster risks can form the common interest around which conflicting parties come together.

Van al die kinderen was mijn moeder de oudste. Ik ben geboren in Garos, een dorp in Iraans Koerdistan, als eerste meisje na vier jon- gens. Ik was mijn vaders oogappel.

  • Climate Action Policy Survey
    Executive Summary The People’s GND Working Group Climate Action Policy Survey The U.S. House of Representatives-Select Committee on the Climate Crisis. Response to the House Committee Request for Information from The People’s Green New Deal Working Group: A database of over 100 Climate Policy Proposals. Methodology The People’s Green New Deal Working Group represents an informal coalition of activists based in New York, including members of Climate Action Mondays and 350NYC, as well as academics at Columbia University and City University of New York (CUNY). Our work has been to collect, in a non-biased process, outstanding climate policy recommendations that can be used by the House Committee and other lawmakers to write an ambitious and just national climate policy. The result is a “Climate Action Policy Survey” of over 100 proposals, reviewed and digested for specific policy ideas by sector. The proposals in our database were either submitted by experts and organizations or collected via an extensive internet search by a team of volunteers. In the coming months, we intend to post the database online to collect additional recommendations and ask the wider community to vote on their priority proposals to include in a National Climate Policy. This submission is unique in that it represents a compendium of climate solutions and policies from a broad set of sources and organizations, listed therein, including: Federal, State, & Local Government Legislation Inter-government Coalitions Think Tanks Non-profit Groups and Coalitions Academic Studies and Reports The sectors (in sheet tabs) covered include: List of 100+ Proposals (with summaries) Proposal Comparison (showing which proposals touch on which sectors).

"Even after Fidel dies, I can't imagine that happening for quite some time," he said. Currently, ethanol is obtained from sugar cane juice and cannot be made from bagasse, but new research is focusing on cellulose technology that could make this possible.
