  • Biodiversity Plan
    Biodiversity plan December 2019 Introduction Biodiversity Biodiversity is the variety of life on earth, encompassing vast varieties of plants and animals. We are an essential part of the biodiversity of our planet and play a key role in enhancing the prosperity of its species and habitats. Conversely, our environment has an important influence on us, and is critical for our survival. Biodiversity provides us with food, fuel, fibres, medicines, whilst also helping to improve the quality of our water, the air we breathe and the land we live on. Biodiversity helps to regulate air quality, climate, flooding, erosion and pollination. Biodiversity is also a key element of our culture, providing a better living environment with benefits to health and wellbeing, and for many people it is simply something to enjoy. Companies House understands that whatever the size of your site, and wherever the site is located, there are always opportunities to enhance biodiversity in keeping with surroundings. Section 6 Biodiversity and Ecosystem Resilience duty to the Environment (Wales) Act 2016 The Environment (Wales) Act was introduced in March 2016, which is a statutory duty that Companies House must comply with. Part 1 of the Act sets out Wales’ approach to planning and managing natural resources at a national, regional and local level. Section 6 of Part 1 places a duty on Companies House to: • Maintain and enhance biodiversity so far as it is consistent with the proper exercise of those functions; and • Promote the resilience of ecosystems. To assist in implementing the duty, Companies House is required to publish a plan on how it intends to comply with the above and to report on progress.

CLIMATE CHANGE UNDER NEPA: AVOIDING CURSORY CONSIDERATION OF GREENHOUSE GASES AMY L. STEIN* Neither the National Environmental Policy Act ("NEPA') nor its implementing regulations require consideration of climate change in NEPA documentation. Yet an ever- growing body of NEPA case law related to climate change is making it increasingly difficult for a federal agency to avoid discussing the impacts of those emissions under NEPA in its Environmental Impact Statements ("EISs'). Although consideration of climate change in NEPA docu- ments sounds right in theory, within the current legal framework, the NEPA documents provide only lip service to the goals of NEPA without any meaningful consideration of climate change. An empirical evaluation of two years of se- lected EISs demonstrates that the degree of "consideration" is far from meaningful, an outcome that fails to reflect the purposes behind NEPA.

Abstract: There is growing interest in designing and implementing climate change mitigation and adaptation (M + A) in synergy in the forest and land use sectors. However, there is limited knowledge on how the planning and promotion of synergies between M + A can be operationalized in the current efforts to mitigate climate change through forest carbon. This paper contributes to fill this knowledge gap by exploring ways of planning and promoting M + A synergy outcomes in forest carbon initiatives. It examines eight guidelines that are widely used in designing and implementing forest carbon initiatives. Four guiding principles with a number of criteria that are relevant for planning synergy outcomes in forest carbon activities are proposed. The guidelines for developing forest carbon initiatives need to demonstrate that (1) the health of forest ecosystems is maintained or enhanced; (2) the adaptive capacity of forest-dependent communities is ensured; (3) carbon and adaptation benefits are monitored and verified; and (4) adaptation outcomes are anticipated and planned in forest carbon initiatives.

Background The existing NRC environmental guidance to the staff, is NUREG-1555, “Standard Review Plans for Environmental Reviews for Nuclear Power Plants: Environmental Standard Review Plan” (NRC 2000), including the 2007 draft revisions to selected sections of NUREG-1555. While preparing the environmental impact statements (EISs) for the first group of combined license (COL) applications, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC or Commission) staff identified a number of issues that necessitated changes to staff guidance. As a result, the Director of the Division of Site and Environmental Reviews issued a memorandum dated March 4, 2011, to the staff providing guidance on how to analyze these issues in the EISs (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML110380369 (NRC 2011). The staff is incorporating this guidance into an Interim Staff Guidance (ISG) until NUREG-1555 is updated.

  • Whale Defender Action Toolkit Is Everything You’Ll Need to Make a Splash in YOUR Community
    WHALE DEFENDER ACTION TOOLKIT ________________________ Materials Included • Letter from Greenpeace US Whale Project Leader • Whale Defenders Program Overview • Upcoming Activities • Fact Sheet • How-to Write and Place a Letter to the Editor • Sample Letter to the Editor • Sample Letter to the Bush Administration • How-to Petition • Petition Sheet Defending the Whales whales.greenpeace.org/us Dear Whale Defender, It’s amazing to think that it was over thirty years ago that Greenpeace first set out to confront the whalers and save the whales. Three decades later, the image of Greenpeace activists placing themselves in front of the harpoons and putting their bodies on the line to defend the whales remains as powerful as ever. And it remains our most effective technique for shutting down the whalers when we are on the front lines in the Antarctic whaling grounds. But as crucial as it is to get between the whalers and their harpoons, there is much more to saving the whales than pounding through the waves in an inflatable boat. Because ultimately, an end to commercial whaling will only come about through political pressure on the countries that support it. And no country is better positioned to apply that pressure than the United States. The US has historically been among the leading voices in support of the whales, and this year, with the International Whaling Commission (IWC) meeting in Alaska in May, there are signs that it is rediscovering that voice. But the whales need the U.S. to do more. For too long, the US and other so-called “like minded” countries have allowed the whaling nations—Japan, Norway, and Iceland—to set the agenda.
