The document summarizes key events and concepts related to REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation), including the establishment of the UNFCCC in 1992, adoption of the Kyoto Protocol in 1997, and introduction of REDD+ in 2005. It discusses REDD+'s scope, reference levels, financing mechanisms, and distribution of incentives. Ongoing REDD+ projects through the UN-REDD Programme are working to develop national REDD+ strategies in countries like Indonesia.
Global net anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions continued to rise between 2010 and 2019, reaching 59±6.6 GtCO2-eq in 2019. This represents a 12% increase compared to 2010 and a 54% increase compared to 1990. Growth has occurred across all major greenhouse gases, with the largest absolute increases in CO2 from fossil fuels and industry, and the highest relative increases in fluorinated gases. While the average annual growth rate slowed between 2010-2019 compared to 2000-2009, the last decade saw the highest increase in average emissions on record. Uncertainties remain around net CO2 emissions from land use change.

The Paris Agreement is an agreement within the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change dealing with greenhouse gas emissions mitigation, adaptation and finance starting in 2020. 194 countries have signed it, with 127 ratifying it, and it went into effect in November 2016. The agreement aims to limit global warming to well below 2°C by reducing emissions through nationally determined contributions that are reported every 5 years. However, the contributions are not legally binding and there is no enforcement if countries do not meet their targets.
The report summarizes the findings of the IPCC's Fifth Assessment Report. It integrates the three working group reports on the physical science basis, impacts/adaptation/vulnerability, and mitigation of climate change. Key findings include: human influence on the climate is clear; continued emissions will cause further warming and changes; and measures exist to limit warming to 2°C but require substantial emissions reductions by 2050 and net zero by 2100. Delaying mitigation will make the goals harder to achieve.
The document summarizes the Working Group III contribution to the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report on mitigation of climate change. It describes the extensive work that went into the report, including 235 authors, over 800 reviewers, and close to 10,000 references. The report found that greenhouse gas emissions have grown significantly in recent decades despite reduction efforts. Effective mitigation will require substantial technological and economic changes across all sectors on a global scale, as well as significant international cooperation.

The presentation summarized the history and key aspects of the Kyoto Protocol, an international agreement linked to the UNFCCC aimed at fighting global warming. It discussed how the protocol was adopted in 1997 and entered into force in 2005, committing industrialized countries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The presentation outlined the emission reduction targets and trading programs established by the protocol, as well as future meetings planned to regulate violators. It concluded by stating the protocol was an important first step, but further negotiations are needed to deliver stronger emission reductions to address climate change.
This document provides a practical guide for calculating greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) in organizations. It includes an introduction that outlines the scope and purpose of the guide, as well as definitions of key terms like carbon footprint and CO2 equivalent emissions. The guide then covers methodology for calculating emissions from various sources like energy consumption, transport, waste, water, and more. It provides detail on specific calculation methods and updated emission factors for different countries and years.
1) Regional cooperation across water, energy, and food is essential to maximize economic benefits from resources in the Eastern Nile basin, but ongoing cooperation is viewed as inadequate.
2) Not coordinating development leads to sectoral and cross-country tradeoffs, lowering total benefits.

The presentation prepared by Janathakshan on REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation) initiative in Sri Lanka. SL became a UN-REDD partner country in 2009. Government fo Sri Lanka (GoSL) through the forest department (FD), department of wildlife conservation (DWC) and the CCS with many stakeholders and support of 3 UN organisations has jointly implemented a UN-REDD National Program (2013 to 2017).
1) The document discusses the concept of "planetary boundaries" which aims to define a "safe operating space for humanity" by establishing quantitative boundaries for nine critical Earth system processes.
2) It proposes specific boundary levels for seven of these processes: climate change, ocean acidification, ozone depletion, biogeochemical flows of nitrogen and phosphorus, land use change, freshwater use, and biodiversity loss.
3) The boundaries are meant to avoid crossing critical global thresholds beyond which Earth system processes could be irreversibly altered at the planetary scale, significantly reducing the resilience of the biosphere.
DEMYSTIFYING CLIMATE TRANSITION SCENARIOS - Ryan WhisnantGreenBiz Group
The document provides an overview of climate transition scenarios for the food, agriculture and forest products sectors developed by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD). It includes:
1) Details on 5 new climate transition scenarios for these sectors modeled through 2050 that explore different pathways for climate policy implementation and technology development.
2) An online climate scenario tool that allows users to explore impacts on production, prices, markets and other business variables for 23 agricultural commodities under each scenario.
3) Guidance on how companies can apply scenario analysis and the tool to inform strategic planning, target setting, reporting and other business needs.
The UNFCCC is an international treaty negotiated in 1992 aimed at stabilizing greenhouse gas concentrations to prevent dangerous climate change. It provides a framework but no binding emissions limits. The Kyoto Protocol, adopted in 1997, implemented the UNFCCC by requiring reductions in emissions by developed countries. Subsequent agreements including the Copenhagen Accord and Cancun Agreements aimed to further strengthen climate actions and support for developing countries.
The document discusses India's ratification of the Paris Agreement on climate change. It provides background on the Paris Agreement, its aims to limit global warming below 2 degrees Celsius through greenhouse gas emissions reductions and climate change adaptation efforts. India had not previously ratified the agreement as it sought flexibility for economic growth. However, Prime Minister Modi recently announced India will now ratify it, becoming the 62nd country to do so. Ratifying will require India to reduce emissions intensity, increase renewable energy production, and expand forest cover. The impacts of climate change are also discussed, noting risks to India's large agriculture sector and coastal populations from effects like drought, flooding and sea level rise.
The document discusses several ways that climate change can be addressed, including through actions by scientists, politicians, and society. It notes that climate change affects food production, water availability, wildlife, and health. It also discusses the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through investments in cleaner technologies and energy sources to stabilize their concentration in the atmosphere. Delaying emission reductions risks more severe climate impacts. The document proposes developing public transit systems and renewable electricity as ways to encourage low-carbon transportation and energy.
- The Kyoto Protocol established a carbon credit trading mechanism where countries can meet emission reduction targets by purchasing certified emission reduction (CER) credits from emission reduction projects in developing countries under the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM).
- India has high potential for carbon credits due to a wide range of possible CDM project types and sizes, technical expertise, and a transparent CDM approval process. However, carbon credit prices are determined by policy issues, market fundamentals, and technical analysis.
- India is a party to the UNFCCC and has established a National CDM Authority to oversee CDM projects. CDM projects in India span sectors like energy, manufacturing, and waste management, with the energy sector representing most

It outlines requirements for NDCs and highlights that agriculture is reflected in many initial NDCs submitted, with priorities including adaptation and mitigation measures in the sector. The document emphasizes that agriculture is important for climate adaptation, mitigation and food security, and that support is needed for NDC implementation.
Ethiopia's updated Nationally Determined Contributions JULY 2021 Submission_.pdfAbraham Lebeza
This document presents Ethiopia's updated nationally determined contribution (NDC) for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and adapting to climate change impacts from 2020-2030. Key points include:
- Ethiopia commits to an ambitious 68.8% reduction in emissions below the business-as-usual scenario by 2030 through unconditional and conditional contributions across sectors like agriculture, energy, and waste.
- Adaptation contributions include over 40 priority interventions across sectors through 2030 with progress measured by indicators.
- The update is informed by extensive economic modeling and stakeholder engagement, and builds on Ethiopia's Climate Resilience Green Economy Strategy and development plans.
- Implementation will require domestic and international support for financing, capacity
The document provides guidance on aligning NDCs with the 1.5°C temperature goal of the Paris Agreement based on the outcomes of the first Global Stocktake. It recommends that countries contextualize the Paris Agreement goals, identify key emitting sectors in NDCs, assess climate scenarios as part of long-term strategies, set ambitious targets considering national context and the Global Stocktake, ensure stakeholder engagement and consideration of financial needs, and establish robust measurement, reporting and verification systems. As an example, it outlines Rwanda's long-term vision of becoming a low-carbon and climate-resilient country by 2050 through sectoral programs, and its revised NDC with more ambitious 2030 targets for emissions reductions and adaptation.

This document summarizes key aspects of national adaptation plans (NAPs) under the UNFCCC and Paris Agreement. It outlines the objectives of NAPs, which are to reduce vulnerability to climate impacts and integrate climate adaptation into policies and planning. The global goal on adaptation aims to enhance resilience, reduce vulnerability, and contribute to sustainable development and limiting warming to 2°C. Technical guidelines provide a framework for developing NAPs through stocktaking, assessing risks, prioritizing actions, and monitoring progress. Reporting on adaptation can be part of NDCs and involves describing impacts, priorities, support needs, and progress in implementing actions. A systems approach called the NAP-SDG iFrame is introduced to help formulate N

1) Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) are voluntary domestic mitigation actions undertaken by developing countries in the context of sustainable development.
2) NAMAs can take many forms, including policies, programs, and projects, and aim to result in measurable greenhouse gas reductions. Developing countries are encouraged to submit information on proposed NAMAs through the UNFCCC NAMA Registry.
3) At a recent UNFCCC workshop, countries discussed developing guidance for NAMA preparation and support, building capacity for NAMA development and implementation, and taking stock of existing capacity building activities to support NAMAs.
1) The document summarizes the OECD guidance on transition finance, which aims to ensure the credibility of corporate climate transition plans. It outlines key challenges in transition finance and elements that make transition plans credible.
2) Over half of global greenhouse gas emissions come from energy and industry. Transition finance is mainly provided through sustainability-linked bonds and loans to help companies implement net-zero plans.
3) Credible transition plans should set science-based net-zero targets, outline strategies to meet interim goals, and integrate climate metrics into financial reporting to ensure accountability.
Chile is updating its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) to increase its climate ambition. The current NDC has a carbon intensity target without including land use. Lessons from the updating process include setting long-term goals like carbon neutrality by 2050, obtaining high-level support, and conducting broad public participation. The proposed updated NDC would establish a greenhouse gas emissions budget between 2020-2030 with a peak in 2027 and a target level by 2030.
Executive Summary- UNEP Emission Gap Report 2021: The Heat is OnEnergy for One World
1. Following a 5.4% drop in 2020 due to COVID-19, global CO2 emissions are rebounding in 2021 and are expected to be only slightly lower than pre-pandemic levels in 2019. Concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere continue to rise despite the 2020 drop.
2. New climate pledges for 2030 show some progress but their aggregate effect on reducing global emissions is insufficient, reducing emissions only 7.5% by 2030 compared to a 30% reduction needed to limit warming to 2°C.
3. As a group, G20 countries are not on track to achieve either their original or new 2030 pledges, requiring stronger policies. Ten G20
Climate Change and Development - Updates from COP18UNDP Eurasia
The document discusses several topics related to climate change including:
1. The need to cut global CO2 emissions in half by 2050 to keep warming below 2 degrees Celsius.
2. The challenges posed by a growing world population expected to reach 9 billion by 2050, which will place greater pressure on resource systems.
3. The importance of transitioning to a green economy through significant emissions mitigation and generating funding for climate actions.
The State of Jurisdictional Sustainability: Synthesis for Practitioners and P...CIFOR-ICRAF
1) The document analyzes progress toward jurisdictional sustainability across 39 jurisdictions in the tropics. Deforestation has decreased in some jurisdictions like Aceh but increased in others like East Kalimantan.
2) Jurisdictions have made various commitments to reduce emissions and deforestation through international agreements. Progress implementing integrated low-emissions strategies varies across jurisdictions.
3) External support for jurisdictions has included over $2.3 billion in funding but more formal partnerships are still needed between governments and companies. The document provides recommendations to strengthen jurisdictional sustainability efforts.
The document summarizes a UNFCCC report on the Paris Agreement and 2021 Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). The report analyzed 48 new or updated NDCs representing 40% of countries and 30% of global emissions. It found that NDCs have increased in quality and detail but ambition remains lower than needed to limit warming to 1.5C. Most countries commit to emissions reductions by 2030 but additional efforts are required from all countries to meet Paris goals. Developing countries especially need financial support to implement climate actions and achieve their NDCs.
OECD Green Talks LIVE: Moving the world economy to net zero: the role of tran...OECD Environment
To meet the temperature goals of the Paris Agreement, decarbonisation measures will need to be financed across all sectors of the economy — most importantly in energy-intensive and hard-to-abate sectors in emerging markets and developing economies. As governments and the private sector ramp up their net-zero pledges, grapple with the ongoing energy crisis and face rising inflation, how to achieve those goals is increasingly put into question.
In the midst of these challenges, market actors and jurisdictions have ramped up efforts around transition finance, such as developing taxonomies and guidelines. But transition finance is often criticised for opening the door to greenwashing and risking emission-intensive lock-in. How can we ensure the development of robust corporate transition plans to support credible and meaningful transition investments towards net zero? And how can emission-intensive lock-in and greenwashing be avoided?
Experts on transition finance and transition planning will present and discuss their importance for moving to net-zero pathways in hard-to-abate sectors and emerging markets and developing economies, as well as outstanding challenges in this space. The presentation will draw from the recent report OECD Guidance on Transition Finance: Ensuring Credibility of Corporate Climate Transition Plans (Find the report here: https://oe.cd/transition-fin), which proposes 10 key elements to help corporates in developing transition plans, financiers to identify credible investment opportunities, and policymakers to develop strong policy frameworks.

This document provides an overview of National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) under the UNFCCC. It summarizes the key decisions around NAPs from 2010 to 2016. It outlines the four elements of the NAP process: laying the groundwork, preparatory elements, implementation strategy, and reporting and review. The objectives of NAPs are to build resilience and integrate climate adaptation into development plans. Guiding principles include being country-driven and using best available science. The LEG provides technical guidelines and workshops to support applying NAPs and achieving coherence with the Sustainable Development Goals.
The document discusses the evolution of international agreements on climate change from the Kyoto Protocol in 1997 to the Paris Agreement in 2015. It outlines key developments and decisions at conferences of parties, including establishing the Bali Roadmap in 2007, the Copenhagen Accord in 2009 which did not reach a binding agreement, and the Doha Amendment in 2012 which established a second commitment period for the Kyoto Protocol. Finally, it summarizes India's Intended Nationally Determined Contribution which it communicated in 2015, including targets to reduce emissions intensity and increase non-fossil fuel energy capacity by 2030.

Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.
Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...Joshua Orris
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.
Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.
Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...Joshua Orris
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.

Introduction to NDCs and FREL
1. Introduction to NDCs and FREL
Richard A. MacKenzie
Aquatic Ecologist, USFS
9/20/21
2. Paris Agreement at the 21st Conference of Parties (COP21) of the UNFCCC agreed
to limit global average temperature increase to < 2oC above pre-industrial levels
and within 1.5 oC.
These goals are to be achieved through NDCs, which shall:
• be transparent, accurate, complete, comparable and consistent (TACCC)
• be in accordance with guidance adopted by the COPs serving as the meeting
of the Parties to this Agreement.
• guide the country’s long term development plans towards a climate resilient
and low carbon pathway while promoting economic development and
industrial goals
• account for anthropogenic emissions and removals in accordance with IPCC
methodologies and common metrics
• include all categories of anthropogenic emissions or removals and to
continue to include categories that were previously included in NDCs
• provide explanations as to why anthropogenic emissions or removals have
been excluded in NDCs.
Nationally Determined Contributions
4. • Forest Reference Level (FRL) estimates
the amount of emission reductions from
deforestation and forest degradation,
and also increased removals from
enhanced forest carbon stocks.
• Forest Reference Emissions Level (FREL),
only estimates amount of emission
reductions from deforestation and forest
degradation from a geographical area
(REDD).
5. • Be expressed in tonnes of CO2equivalent per year
• Take into account historical data and understand
forest change patterns and underlying causes
– to take national circumstances into account,
– to construct scenarios that deviate from historical
trends
• Maintain consistency with national GHG inventories
• Be established transparently
• Recognize step wise approaches
Developing FREL/FRL
6. Mangroves are often not
included in FRELs or NDCs
despite the high carbon stocks
they have, especially in their
sediments.
10. ▪ FREL/FRL provide the benchmarks or baselines
that can be used in NDCs, REDD+, etc.
▪ FREL/FRL may be developed through a step-wise
approach
▪ Improvements from higher tier emission factors, the
use of TACCC, and calculated uncertainty values
should be promoted to encourage broad
participation and increase confidence
Concluding remarks
TopicD1.Slide14of16
11. Philippines
• The Philippines has committed to reduce its GHG
emissions as much as 75% from 2020 to 2030 against
the projected emissions during this period of 3,340.3
Mt CO2 eq. 2.17% is unconditional, 72.29% is
conditional on international assistance
• The Philippines is scheduled to submit its FREL 2021 by
the end of this year
• FREL 2021 will be used as a baseline to compare future
mitigation actions and possibly to participate in REDD+
• FREL 2021 could be improved by incorporating missing
sources/sinks such as wetlands
12. Workshop objectives
1. To familiarize with Chapter 4 of the 2013 IPCC Wetlands
Supplement
2. To present the Transparency, Accuracy , Compatibility,
Completeness and Consistency (TACCC) of the UNFCCC
3. Introduce methods for estimating uncertainty of FREL
