  • 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.

  • 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.
