This document provides information about studying at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology for the freshman year undergraduate program in English. It includes details about the program structure, course offerings in chemistry/biology and mechanics/civil tracks, campus life, housing, and extracurricular activities. Studying at Technion provides students an opportunity to gain an education at a top science and technology university while experiencing life in Israel.
This document discusses the evolution of human intelligence and how it can be applied to building resilient cities. It presents concepts like meshworking, which weaves together different operating systems to create complex responsive structures. It also outlines five stages of capacity that systems and groups can progress through, from survival to global wellbeing. Networks of groups and communities of practice are described as forming spheres of influence that can ultimately connect into a global meshwork of human cooperation.
This document discusses governance issues related to REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation). It defines governance and key elements of good governance systems. Good governance for REDD+ requires transparency, accountability, inclusive participation and decision making processes that lead to effective implementation and behavior change. The success of REDD+ depends on governance arrangements that represent interests, are responsible and transparent, make effective decisions, and implement programs to reduce emissions at scale. The document recommends inter-linked, multi-level governance for REDD+ at the international, national and local levels.
This document provides information about study abroad opportunities at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology for the spring semester and summer programs. The Technion is consistently ranked as one of the world's leading universities for science and technology. The document outlines available course offerings for the spring semester in various engineering and science fields. It also describes summer program options, including the Engineering for Developing Communities course, as well as the possibility of internships. The document discusses life on campus, including housing, activities, culture and safety. Studying at the Technion provides opportunities for both academic rigor and cultural immersion in Israel.
This document outlines an agenda for a lab expedition focused on sensing the zeitgeist of the year 2050 through hackathons, briefings, and workshops exploring topics like scaling reasoning, mindstorms, thinklabs, and finding narrative perspectives. Participants will share insights through world cafe discussions and work to develop a 360 degree view on the future zeitgeist.

This document summarizes a study evaluating the governance quality of the United Nations' REDD-plus Programme, which aims to reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation. The study analyzed participant perceptions of REDD-plus governance before, during, and after international climate change conferences. Results showed generally positive but improving views of legitimacy over time, with some concerns around issues like transparency, resources for participation, and dispute settlement. The study provides insights into REDD-plus governance quality but notes that longer-term investigation is still needed.

Institutional arrangements for national and community level governance of the...Tim Cadman
Key Recommendations:
* Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) require a governance framework applicable at multiple levels (‘multilayers’ – ESGa 2014);
*Means of Implementation (MoI) need to be embedded in each SDG;
*SDGs themselves require a ‘governance Goal’ to ensure consistency of implementation and to ensure quality, effectiveness and legitimacy (“‘good’, effective, equitable” ESGc 2014);
*MoI will be largely negotiated at the global level, financed at the national level, and implemented at the community (corporate, organizational ESGc 2014) level, requiring co-ordination and collaboration between levels.
A presentation on the social-political background to the Paris climate talks, a 'mapping' of the climate regime, a summary of outcomes, and the full text highlighted and explained.
Since the creation of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, media and public attention has been focussed on the global negotiations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Little attention has been paid to the institutions that are charged with the responsibility of developing effective responses. These are often remote from the public, and communities most threatened by global warming are often excluded from decision-making. The contributors to this volume investigate a wide range of institutions within the 'climate change regime complex'. From carbon trading, to food and water availability, energy production, human security, local government, and the intergovernmental climate talks themselves, they find much that should be of concern to policy makers, and the public at large. In doing so they provide a series of recommendations to improve governance legitimacy, and assist public participation in policy deliberations that will affect future generations.
What happens when the digital tools and platforms we make and use for communication and entertainment are hijacked for terrorism, violence against the vulnerable and nefarious transactions? What role do designers and developers play? Are we complicit as creators of these technologies and products? Should we police them or fight back? As Portfolio Lead for Northern Lab, Northern Trust's internal innovation startup focused on client and partner experience, Antonio will share a mix of provocative scenarios torn from today's headlines and compelling stories where activism and technology facilitated peace—and war.
As a call-to-action for designers and developers to engage in projects capable of transformational change, he'll explore the question: How might technology foster new experiences to better accelerate social activism and make the world a smarter, safer place?
This document summarizes upcoming CSS features like Box Alignment Level 3, CSS Grid Layout, CSS Shapes, CSS Feature Queries, and CSS Custom Properties. It explains what each feature does at a high level and provides example code snippets. The document also encourages developers to get involved by filing issues on browser bug trackers, requesting new features, and creating blog posts/demos to help drive adoption of these new CSS specifications.

The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
