Planting Trees in Large Numbers Will Not Mitigate Carbon Emission to the Desired Level but Conservation of Old Forests Will Do
International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research Volume 10, Issue 7, July-2019 758 ISSN 2229-5518 PLANTING TREES IN LARGE NUMBERS WILL NOT MITIGATE CARBON EMISSION TO THE DESIRED LEVEL BUT CONSERVATION OF OLD FORESTS WILL DO UMA SHANKER SINGH IFS PhD ABSTRACT-The old forest ecosystem is more effective than new plantations in term of sequestering carbon; in an estimate this has been claimed that conservation of old forest is 40 times more effective than planted forest. Forests help mitigate climate change by sucking out carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, locking it away in their trunks and soil. But re-greening efforts in many countries rely on the expansion of plantations, where commercially important crops are grown, rather than forest restoration. Plantation is a very complex issue in India and requires many components to be integrated with each other and availability of land is one of them. Land has become a scarcer resource with each passing day as the world population is competing with the available land for many developmental activities and agricultural demands. For a mega-forest plantation like this, there is a strong need of huge investment in this sector and this has to be socially and ecologically viable from social audit point of view. This also needs very large areas and the size of the land required will vary with the objective of the plantation but the core issue is non-availability of suitable land in India. The legal infrastructure related to the forests and the forest departments across the states need radical reforms in order to meet the massive plantations, country is undertaking in the face of climate change mitigation after Bonn change summit in 2011.

A Framework for Detecting Event related Sentiments of a Community By Muhammad Aslam Jarwar Department of Computer Science Quaid-i-Azam University Islamabad, Pakistan April 20, 2019 Dedicated to H & H (Hasnain & Hibbah) My Kids Declaration I hereby declare that this dissertation is the presentation of my original research work. Wherever contributions of others are involved, every effort is made to indicate this clearly with due reference to the literature and acknowledgment of collaborative research and discussions. This work was done under the guidance of Dr. Rabeeh Ayaz Abbasi, Department of Computer Sciences, Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad. Date: April 20, 2019 Muhammad Aslam Jarwar ii Abstract Social media has revolutionized human communication and styles of interaction. Due to its easiness and effective medium, people share and exchange information, carry out discussion on various events, and express their opinions. For effective policy making and understanding the response of a community on different events, we need to monitor and analyze the social media. In social media, there are some users who are more influential, for example, a famous politician may have more influence than a common person. These influential users belong to specific communities. The main object of this research is to know the sentiments of a specific community on various events. For detecting the event based sentiments of a community we propose a generic framework. Our framework identifies the users of a specific community on twitter. After identifying the users of a community, we fetch their tweets and identify tweets belonging to specific events. The event based tweets are pre-processed.

Imran Khan CPEC Diplomacy Remodelling Trade Politics
Reports Imran Khan CPEC Diplomacy: Remodelling Trade Politics between Pakistan, Iran, Saudi Arabia and China * James M. Dorsey Al Jazeera Centre for Studies Tel: +974-40158384 [email protected] 29 October 2018 http://studies.aljazeera.n [Getty] Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan lands in Beijing on November 3, the latest head of government to seek a renegotiation of commercial terms and/or focus of projects related to China’s infrastructure and energy-driven Belt and Road initiative. He follows in the footsteps of his Malaysian counterpart, Mahathir Mohamad has suspended US$26 billion in Chinese-funded projects; while Myanmar is negotiating a significant scaling back of a Chinese-funded port project on the Bay of Bengal from one that would cost US$ 7.3 billion to a more modest development that would cost US$1.3 billion in a bid to avoid shouldering an unsustainable debt. China has also witnessed pushback and rising anti-Chinese sentiment in countries as far flung as Kazakhstan, Nepal, and Denmark. Khan’s insistence on expanding the focus of the China Pakistan Economic Corridor, a US$45 billion plus Belt and Road crown jewel, to include agriculture, manufacturing, and job creation takes on added significance as Pakistan seeks an approximately US$8 billion International Monetary Fund (IMF) bailout to help it avert a financial crisis and discusses with Saudi Arabia investments of up to US$10 billion in investments that would be separate but associated with CPEC. In doing so, Khan is manoeuvring multiple minefields that stretch from likely demands by the International Monetary Fund IMF and the United States for transparency on the financial nuts and bolts of CPEC projects to compliance with requirements of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), an international anti-money laundering and terrorism finance watchdog that has threatened to blacklist Pakistan, to managing relations with Saudi Arabia at time that the kingdom’s international standing hangs in the balance as a result of the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul.

Kundian Forest Revival to Create Jobs: PM Imran Prime Minister
Kundian forest revival to create jobs: PM Imran 24 February 2020 Prime Minister Imran Khan has said the revival of Kundian forest will provide job opportunities as human resources will be required to guard, water and nurture plants. Talking to the media after inaugurating tree plantation campaign here on Sunday, he said unfortunately, the huge Kundian forest, planted before the Partition, had been turned into a barren land owing to the apathy of the previous governments. He said of the total 19,271 acres of forest area, around 5,000 acres had some green cover while the rest 5,222 acres are barren and would be turned into forest by massive forestation during the next four years under 10 billion tree tsunami project. The prime minister, who planted a sapling, asked the locals to guard the forest against tree fellers and land grabbers. Under the spring tree plantation drive, 250 million saplings would be planted across the country with 1.3 million to be planted in one day as part of ‘Plant for Pakistan Day’ observed on the day. The prime minister said the young generation, particularly children, were required to be sensitised on the importance of trees and also called for its inclusion in the education curriculum. He said being rich with diverse weathers and water resources, Pakistan should be exporting food to the world instead of facing shortage. He said biodiversity in the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa had revived following the success of one billion tree tsunami project. He said a considerable number of berry plants would be planted in the forest which would help produce honey as many investors were awaiting to invest in honey production.
