Q.2 What actions need to be taken, and by who, to reduce or remove these barriers? Evidence in relation to sustainable development (section 4) Q.3 What other evidence is there about the extent of progress in relation to the Sustainable Development agenda and making Sustainable Development the central organising principle of public bodies? A new sustainable development duty (section 6) The level of decision making to which the duty applies Q.4 Have we identified the most appropriate level of organisational decision-making at which the duty should be applied? Please explain. Yes. It may also be useful for organisations to consider revising their aims and values to ensure compatibility with SD behaviours. Q.5 Would this approach risk capturing some decisions which should not be subject to the duty? What would these be? Q.6 Are there any decisions that are not captured by this approach which should be subject to the duty? Again, what would these be? Disposal of assets & procurement, to ensure whole life costings are taken into account. Bron Afon supports the WCVA position on public procurement proposing that the Welsh Government’s work on Community Benefits is developed into a legal requirement to ensure that all public bodies in Wales consider how their procurement activities contribute to environmental, social and economic benefits. Q.7 Should we include decisions which govern an organisation’s internal operations? If so, which internal operations should we include? See below Q.8 Should budget proposals be subject to the duty? Please explain. Yes if it is the case that short term budget setting is working against longer term sustainable development. Is there a way to meet any gaps identified, would participating bodies be more inclined to consider longer term approaches if in identifying gaps in funds) these could be explored? The behaviours approach Q.9 Are all of the behaviours we identify critical to acting in ways that reflect sustainable development thinking? Please explain. Q.10 Are there critical behaviours that we have not identified? Please explain. Bron Afon supports the WCVA’s position on antipoverty, social justice and equality. An additional (explicit) reference to this behaviour may be useful; Equality and access to a resources. Development that promotes a fairer distribution of resources within environmental limits and that promotes social justice. Q.11 What are the advantages and disadvantages of designating behaviours as the sustainable development factors that must influence high level decisions? Q.12 How much influence should sustainable development behaviours have over high level decisions – for example, should those decisions be lawful if they have been reached in a way that: • is consistent with one, some or all of the behaviours; • broadly reflects the behaviours; • is not inconsistent with the behaviours? • are there other options? The objectives approach Q.13 Are there core sustainable development objectives we have not identified above? The term wellbeing is used a lot throughout the consultation. Securing the economic, social and environmental wellbeing of people is the outcome from achieving a sustainable Wales. It is an all encompassing term, although arguably it does not incorporate strongly enough one of the key pillars of sustainable development – the need to achieve wellbeing of people within the environmental limits of planet in a way that does not compromise the well being of future generations. This should be considered when looking at what definition of sustainable development should be within the legalisation. Q.14 What are the advantages and disadvantages of designating sustainable objectives as the factors that must influence higher level decision making? Q.15 How much influence should the objectives have over high level decisions – for example, should those decisions be lawful: • only if they actively contribute to one or more of those objectives; • if they do not detract from any of the objectives; • even if they detract from some of those objectives, as long as they actively promote others? • are there other options? The combined approach Q.16 What are the advantages and disadvantages of basing a duty on sustainable development behaviours and sustainable development objectives? A single sustainable development proposition Q.17 What are your views on basing a duty around a single sustainable development proposition? A single proposition leaves too much to interpretation. The Bill must clearly define sustainable development, rather than leaving interpretation to further guidance, officials or the courts, and must be meaningful and accessible enough to drive/guide effective action. The definition must make it clear that the implications of Welsh sustainable development policy do not end in Wales, but rather extend globally, and that the wellbeing of people in Wales is an aim but not the sole aim of the legislation. The time organisations may need to comply Q.18 How much time should organisations be given to make these changes? The provision of guidance Q. 19 Would it be helpful to issue formal guidance to organisations subject to the new duty? Q. 20 Should any such guidance be issued by the Welsh Government or the new sustainable development body? The repeal of duties Q.21 Are there any particular statutory duties which it would be appropriate to repeal, in light of the approach we are proposing under the Sustainable Development Bill? Q.22 Are there legal barriers to delivering in line with the sustainable development factors we have set out, which the Sustainable Development Bill could remove? Reporting Q.23 Should organisations be required to report back on compliance with the duty through their existing annual reporting arrangements? The organisations that might be subject to the duty Q.24 Are there organisations on this list that should not be subject to the duty? Please explain. Q.25 Are there organisations that are not listed above but which should be subject to the duty? Please explain. Defining sustainable development Q.26 Are there other advantages or disadvantages to defining “sustainable development” and if so, what are they? Q.27 If we were to define “sustainable development” do you think that the working definition above would be suitable and why? An independent sustainable development body (section 7) The purpose of the new body Q.28 What should be the overall purpose for a new body? The body needs to ensure the legislation is applied consistently across all bodies and should have powers to convene cross sector groups to ensure shared accountability and responsibility as necessary. The body may be required to advise very closely and to this end could attach officers to certain organisations. The body should promote the SD bill and SD agenda to make sure it is understood and accepted by the wider public so as to understand decisions made by Public Bodies for example. Making the link between the wellbeing of future generations and SD (in the same way as the recycling is linked with pro-environmental behaviour by the general public) would be a good start. The body must provide a forum giving voice to people likely to be affected by decisions (this could be businesses connected to, or staff in, the bodies affected as well as the public). The preferred approach for the new body Q.29 Do you have any views on the preferred approach regarding the main functions of a new body? A statutory body Q.30 Are there significant disadvantages to establishing a new body on a statutory basis? Proposed functions for the new body Q.31 Do you agree with the proposed functions for a new body established on a statutory basis? Q. 32 Are there other functions which should be considered? Independence and accountability Q.33 Do you have particular views on the independence of a new body? Q.34. Do you have particular views on the accountability arrangements for a new body? How to get involved and have your say Consultation dates and where to send responses to We want your views on the options for legislation on sustainable development.

  • The Perfect Planet Trailer
    Top Tips: 1. Read the questions carefully. 2. Use a highlighter or your pencil to underline the relevant information from the text. 3. Answer the questions in full sentences unless you need to copy individual words. The Perfect Planet Trailer This is a perfect planet. Life flourishes here thanks to powerful natural forces. Light from the sun reaches us in just eight minutes, powering our living world and its daily and yearly rhythms shape the lives of every creature on Earth. Volcanoes are powerful and uncontrollable forces, but they are the architects of the planet, creating over 80 of the Earth's surface. Life could not exist without them. Our oceans are in constant motion. They're linked by a network of powerful currents that carry nutrients around the globe. Every drop of sea water rides these currents taking a thousand years to complete a single circuit. And where there are currents there is life. From mighty storms to freezing winds, weather is vital to life. Rain clouds form and powerful winds carry this fresh water around the globe revitalizing the land. Annual weather patterns have been stable for thousands of years and it's this reliability on which life depends. Together these forces have shaped our perfect planet. But it's a fragile system. Today there is a new force one so powerful it threatens life on Earth. Human activity is now so dominant that it's disrupting the forces of nature and the vital habitats life needs to survive on Earth. To preserve our planet, we need to act now.

  • Future of Public Service Media: Open University Response Summary
    Ofcom – Future of Public Service Media: Open University Response Summary 1. Education is a crucial part of the Public Service Broadcasting (PSB) requirements. Several of the statutory requirements set out in Section 264 of the Communications Act 2003 relate to educational objectives. There are opportunities to strengthen these requirements as part of the new Public Service Media (PSM) offer. 2. The Open University (OU) plays a key role in supporting the delivery of PSB requirements around education through its partnership with the BBC. The partnership co-produces high-quality factual content across several channels and platforms, which is developed in collaboration with academic experts and closely linked to related educational materials hosted by the OU. A key objective of the partnership is to encourage people to embark on learning journeys from the informal, factual content produced with the BBC, through online and printed educational resources which enhance and enrich their broadcast/digital experience, to taking up formal learning opportunites inspired by watching, listening to and engaging with the content produced as part of the partnership. 3. In 2019/20: • A total of 257 hours of content produced via the OU/BBC partnership was broadcast by the BBC. • This resulted in a combined total of 308 million viewing/listening “events” and digital engagement interactions. • The three most popular television programmes broadcast – A Perfect Planet, Springwatch and Hospital (Series 5) all saw viewing figures in excess of 22 million. • There were 765,000 unique visitors to the online educational content related to the OU/BBC partnership hosted on the OU’s free online learning platform, OpenLearn.

PAMPLONA We can represent our world as an unfinished symphony where we have a role to play Mariano Artigas In 1572 a new star appeared in the heavens. It was an impossible event. An astronomical tradition going back to Aristotle had declared that the heavens were perfect and unchanging, a generalization that had gone unchallenged for two millennia. Thomas Aquinas had declared, more than three centuries earlier, that the perfection of the heavens —everything beyond the or- bit of the moon— reflected the untainted grandeur of God’s original perfect creation. Adam’s sin had scarred only the earthly realm, turning it into a debauched sphere of satanic ruin that extended to the moon and no further. So how was it that the unchanging heavens were suddenly sporting a new star? The new star also challenged the Christian doc- trine of creation, in which everything was created over the course of six days, after which God ceased his cre- ative work and rested.

The poem The Anecdote of the Jar is by Wallace Stevens and not by Dylan Shagari. 1 Parnell Lopez watched as his wife Marie pulled up her line to reveal a squirming, two-pound mass of bullhead, white-belly shining in the sun. A fine meal would it make, but Marie's squeals anticipated something other than gastronomic pleasure. More likely was it fear that made her hold the pole at arm's length keeping danger at least six feet away. Having a fine son in the vicinity, Parnell chose to sit quietly as Jimmy, a little man at ten, strutted over to rescue his mother. Four year-old Alicia stared in horrified wonder as her brother grabbed the line with his left hand and then put his right hand towards the monster so capable of inflicting pain. The confident lad expertly placed his fingers around the bases of the stinging appendages.

  • Epiphany 3 2021 I Wonder How Many of You Watched David
    Epiphany 3 2021 I wonder how many of you watched David Attenborough's latest series Perfect Planet. As always the photography is stunning, and the series takes us on an amazing journey, from the slopes of fiery Hawaiian volcanoes to the frozen wastes of Ellesmere Island. We see hundreds of thousands of flamingos gathering to breed in a lake in Tanzania, Arctic wolves hunting by moonlight, Eden's whales fishing together in the Gulf of Thailand. And through the series Attenborough explains just why the earth is truly a perfect planet. "Oceans, sunlight, weather and volcanoes - together these powerful yet fragile forces allow life to flourish in astonishing diversity", he says. "Our planet is one in a billion, a world teeming with life." If you haven't seen it, do watch it on iPlayer. Over 4000 exoplanets have now been discovered1, mainly by the Kepler space telescope. These are planets orbiting other stars in our galaxy. Many of these are gas giants, like Jupiter, or orbit very close to their suns, partly because such planets are easier to detect. We don't really know how many planets might be capable of sustaining life, but there was considerable excitement a couple of years ago when it was discovered that a planet orbiting a star about 110 light-years away has water vapour in its atmosphere, the first time that the presence of water had been confirmed on another planet in the habitable zone. Sometimes called the Goldilocks zone, this is the range of orbits around a star that are just right, neither too hot nor too cold, where water could exist as a liquid, and therefore where life might have evolved.
