  • A Day in the Future Accelerating Solutions to Security Threats
    A Day In The Future Accelerating Solutions to Security Threats Leland Russell and Greg Austin FEBRUARY 2008 ACKNOWLEDGMENT The EastWest Institute would like to acknowledge the generous support of the Francis Finlay Foundation for financial support to its work on framing new approaches to global security. We live in a world of new and evolving threats, threats that could not have been anticipated when the UN was founded in 1945 – threats like nuclear terrorism, and State collapse from the witch’s brew of poverty, disease and civil war. Report of the UN Secretary General's High-Level Panel on Threats, Challenges and Change, December 2004 1 THE THREATS WE FACE The security environment of the future will be shaped by transnational threats evolving from wars, violent extremism, natural disasters, pandemics, and unaddressed systemic problems—including poverty, organized crime, and environmental degradation. Technology will remain a force-multiplier for violent extremists, not only for higher levels of lethality, but for propaganda dissemination. Real-time, global communication will exacerbate the psychological impact of potential threats and the aftermath of incidents. The confluence of these circumstances will cause rising international anxiety and insecurity about physical well-being, prosperity, and even the sustainability of human existence. This will in turn feed an intensifying backlash against “modernity” and the pace of social and technological change, based on fears—both real and imagined. In this environment, the preservation of our common security—whether military, economic, social, or environmental—is becoming increasingly more difficult and complex. Consider, for example, the potential security implications of the energy challenge resulting from the projected one-third increase in the global population over the next 40 years, as portrayed by the CEO of Royal Dutch Shell plc, Jeroen van der Veer: Energy use in 2050 may be twice as high as it is today or higher still.

  • The Land-Grant College Heritage — and Future
    2006–2013 The Land-Grant College Heritage — and Future The past seven years have been a time to honor established traditions within The Texas A&M University System and look ahead to the future in a changing world. In January 2008, a new branding campaign incorporated the name AgriLife, chosen to symbolize the idea that “Agriculture Is Life” because of its broad connection with everyday living through food, clothing, countless other products and processes, health care, and even biofuels to provide new energy sources. Texas Cooperative Extension became the Texas AgriLife Extension Service and the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station became Texas AgriLife Research. The statewide centers also changed their names to Texas AgriLife Research and Extension Centers at their city locations. And Texas A&M AgriLife was designated as the administrative umbrella for the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences (which kept its name) and all four agencies. Another name change in 2012 added “A&M” to the agency names to better communicate our connection to the Texas A&M System. In 2011, as the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences celebrated its 100th year — and in the same decade when Texas AgriLife Extension celebrated the 100th anniversary of the county Extension agent as well as the Texas Extension 4-H Centennial — construction was completed on a new Agriculture and Life Sciences Building and the AgriLife Center, Phase 1 of the new Agriculture Complex being built on Texas A&M University’s West Campus. The AgriLife Services Building was not far behind, ready for move-in in early January 2012.

  • Invitation for Comment on the Biogenic Carbon Emissions Panel Nominees Environmental Protection Agency Science Advisory Board St
    Invitation for Comment on the Biogenic Carbon Emissions Panel Nominees Environmental Protection Agency Science Advisory Board Staff Office June 24, 2011 The EPA Science Advisory Board (SAB) Staff Office announced in a Federal Register Notice on April 27, 2011 (76 FR 23587-23588) that it was forming a panel to provide independent advice to EPA on a draft greenhouse gas accounting methodology for biogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from stationary sources. To form the panel, the SAB Staff Office sought public nominations of nationally recognized experts in the follow areas: • Land-use change, specifically the effects of land management practices on the terrestrial biosphere; • Inventory, measurement and carbon accounting methodologies for national greenhouse gas inventories, or other relevant emissions and sequestration quantification guidelines in use; • Land use economics, ecological relationships between land use and climate change and/or estimates of biomass supply and demand; • Environmental science and climate change, particularly with a multidisciplinary perspective; • Engineering, particularly with respect to the design and operation of solid-fuel-fired boilers and related air pollution control systems for the power and industrial sectors, including pulp and paper applications; • Design and implementation of regulatory programs at local, state and federal scales, with specific reference to developing and/or implementing monitoring; and • Accounting approaches for agriculture, land use, land-use change and forestry.

  • Acceptance Remarks (249 Words)
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 16, 2021 2021 BLUE PLANET PRIZE: ANNOUNCEMENT OF PRIZE WINNERS This year marks the 30th awarding of the Blue Planet Prize, the international environmental award sponsored by the Asahi Glass Foundation, chaired by Takuya Shimamura. Every year, the Foundation selects two winners, individuals or organizations who have made significant contributions to the resolution of global environmental problems. The Board of Directors have selected the following 2021 Blue Planet Prize recipients. 1. Prof. Veerabhadran Ramanathan (USA) Born in India, Date of Birth: 24 November, 1944 Edward A. Frieman Endowed Presidential Chair in Climate Sustainability Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California, San Diego Professor Ramanathan has spent decades investigating the climate effects of non-CO2 pollutants, including the role of short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs): methane, tropospheric ozone, halocarbons (HFCs*1), and black carbon*2. His contributions include the discovery of the super greenhouse effect of halocarbons (CFCs*3), and clarifying the climate effects of black carbon through an international field project he led on Atmospheric Brown Clouds (ABCs). He showed that reductions in SLCPs can rapidly reduce warming and significantly improve air pollution. He later took the initiative in global actions to reduce SLCPs. *1 Hydrofuorocarbons (CFC alternatives), no ozone depletion potential but much greater global warming potential than CO2. *2 Commonly known as soot; formed through the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels, biofuel, and biomass. *3 Chlorofluorocarbons, large ozone depletion potential and much greater global warming potential than CO2. 2. Prof. Mohan Munasinghe (Sri Lanka) Born in Sri Lanka, Date of Birth: 25 July, 1945 Founder Chairman, Munasinghe Institute for Development (MIND) Professor Munasinghe pioneered the integrative, transdisciplinary ‘Sustainomics’ framework which views development issues from environmental, social, and economic perspectives.

Leggett, Climate Change: Science and Policy Implications, CRS Report for Congress RL33849 (Washington, D.C.: Congressional Research Service, Updated 2 May 2007). On the scientific consensus in the international community, see the widely publi- cized assessments of the IPCC that are introduced below and summarized in later chapters. 3.
