ITU/WMO/UNESCO IOC Joint Task Force - Green Cables Funding Study Executive Summary The United Nations Joint Task Force (JTF) was established in 2012 by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) of UNESCO to examine novel uses for submarine telecommunication cables. The JTF is developing a strategy and roadmap that could lead to enabling the availability of modified “green” submarine cable systems equipped with scientific sensors (such as temperature, pressure and acceleration) for climate monitoring and disaster risk warning (particularly tsunamis) over extended areas of the world’s oceans. This report is responsive to a need by the JTF to understand what options exist to fund this work. According to estimates made at the 2013 Madrid workshop, it will require between $1M and $6M to develop the necessary sensors and determining the methods to incorporate these into today’s submarine cable systems. It will further require between $10M and $20M to include such sensors into an initial demonstration project. OCI Group investigated multiple funding options for the ITU JTF Initiative. During the course of this investigation it was determined that the potential funders all fell into the following categories and were address accordingly: International Development Agencies Foundations Governmental Agencies Private Companies Each of these was researched to determine the subset of most likely candidates based upon their mission, focus, etc. Based upon this research, the following is a brief summary of each category: International Development Agencies – Amongst these, the World Bank is both the largest, and in our opinion, the mostly likely candidate within this group to fund green cables. The World Bank has initiatives that address both climate change

AFP/Diana Ulloa Dear Friend, CPJ exists to defend the basic principle that journalists, wherever they are in the world, should be free to report the news without fear of reprisal. We defend this fundamental right everywhere that journalists are threatened, from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe. Recently we’ve also had to defend it in the United States. CPJ believes that the U.S. should use its influence to stand up for the rights of journalists globally. But in order to play this crucial role, the U.S. must uphold First Amendment values at home. Instead, the president’s cries of “fake news” and other efforts to demean and marginalize journalists are emboldening repressive leaders around the world to take action against their press. In February, the Philip- pine news website Rappler was banned from covering presidential events after President Rodrigo Duterte said it was “fake news.” In March, a Sudanese court convicted two journalists of “false news.” In 2017, at Thleast 21ank journalists worldwide were jailed on “false news” charges, more than double that of the year before.

    COMMITTEE TO PROTECT JOURNALISTS www.cpj.org Committee to Protect Journalists • 330 Seventh Avenue, 11th Floor, New York, NY 10001 2009-2010 Committee to Protect Journalists I LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR The Committee to Protect Journalists promotes media freedom worldwide. We take action when journalists are censored, jailed, kidnapped, or killed for their work. CPJ is an independent, nonprofit organization founded in 1981. REUTERS/YURIKO NAKAO REUTERS/YURIKO Dear Friends: This is an incredibly exciting time to be defending independent journalists and free expression. Digital technologies are enabling new forms of journalism and contributing to a global culture of greater open- ness and transparency. There are more people practicing journalism than ever before. The new technologies, however, can be a boon to repressive governments—allowing for surveillance and censorship on an unprecedented scale. In 2009, half of all imprisoned journalists were targeted for work published online. The Internet is also transforming the news business, which has enormous implications for our work. As media companies eliminate foreign bureaus and cut staff positions, freelancers are on the front- lines of reporting the news around the world. Freelance journalists are especially vulnerable to arrest and intimidation because they often lack the legal and financial support that large news organizations can provide to staffers. Journalists of all stripes increasingly work independently—that is to say, alone. These trends make CPJ’s work even more vitally important. When journalists are imprisoned, we campaign for their release. When journalists are forced into exile, we help support them. When jour- nalists are killed for their work, we demand justice.

  • The Politics of Transportation in Philadelphia, 1946-1984
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: “LET THE PEOPLE HAVE A VICTORY”: THE POLITICS OF TRANSPORTATION IN PHILADELPHIA, 1946-1984 Jacob Kobrick, Ph.D., 2010 Directed By: Professor Robyn L. Muncy Department of History Urban transportation planning in the United States underwent important changes in the decades after World War II. In the immediate postwar period, federal highway engineers in the Bureau of Public Roads dominated the decision-making process, creating a planning regime that focused almost entirely on the building of modern expressways to relieve traffic congestion. In the 1960s, however, local opposition to expressway construction emerged in cities across the nation, reflecting growing discontent with what many citizens perceived to be a closed planning process that resulted in the destruction of urban neighborhoods, environmental degradation, and inadequate attention paid to alternative modes of transportation. Local freeway protestors found allies in the new U.S. Department of Transportation, which moved in the mid-1960s to absorb the Bureau of Public Roads and support legislation promoting a planning process more open to local input as well as a greater emphasis on federal aid for urban mass transportation. The changing culture of transportation planning produced a series of freeway revolts, resulting in the cancellation or modification of interstate highway projects, in major American cities. Changes in transportation planning played out differently in every city, however. This dissertation examines controversies over Philadelphia’s major expressway projects – the Schuylkill Expressway, the Delaware Expressway, and the never-built Crosstown Expressway, in addition to major mass transit developments such as the city’s subsidization of the commuter railroads, the creation of the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority, and the building of a railroad tunnel known as the Center City Commuter Connection, in order to trace the evolution of the city’s transportation politics between 1946 and 1984.
