Collective efforts to manage cultural landscapes: Examples from Europe
1 like1,219 views
This document discusses collaborative groups that manage cultural landscapes in Europe. It provides examples of such groups from Germany, the Netherlands, Austria, and the UK. These groups bring together stakeholders from different sectors like farming, conservation, and communities to coordinate landscape management. However, the findings show that some groups have dissolved or become less formalized in recent years due to financial difficulties, lack of support, and changing needs. This lack of resilience for the social subsystems that managed landscapes can negatively impact the resilience of the entire social-ecological system and decrease sustainability and adaptive capacity.

Natural & Cultural Landscape
Natural & Cultural Landscapeswallacestdoms The document defines key terms related to natural and cultural landscapes. It describes natural landscapes as consisting of relief, climate, soils, and vegetation interacting as a system. Cultural landscapes are defined as areas where human activities and modifications have influenced the natural landscape through land use, transport features, population and settlement. Interactions between natural elements and influences of natural features on cultural landscapes are also discussed.
Cultural Landscape
Cultural LandscapeE. Rueber Lutheran churches share many common characteristics despite being located around the world. They all prominently display crosses to symbolize their faith in salvation through Jesus Christ alone. Other common features include baptismal fonts, paraments that change with the church calendar, and hymnals from their denomination. These shared characteristics help Lutherans feel a sense of community wherever they worship and ensure doctrinal consistency across congregations. The size of Lutheran churches can vary regionally depending on the concentration of Lutherans in an area.

Protected Areas benefits at Moscow international conference Institute for European Environmental Policy IEEP This document summarizes key points from a presentation about the economic benefits of protected areas. It finds that protected areas provide significant economic benefits, including benefits from water purification, climate regulation, food security, tourism, and employment. Globally, the estimated annual benefits of protected areas exceed $4 trillion, far outweighing the estimated $45 billion in annual costs. Studies at national and local levels also regularly find that the economic benefits of protected areas are higher than the costs. Communicating these economic values is important for protecting biodiversity and sustainably financing protected area networks.

European forests a lecture on main forest types
European forests a lecture on main forest typesssuser7663e2 European forests cover over 400 million hectares and provide timber, habitat, and carbon storage. Forest area has expanded since the 1950s as marginal farmlands were abandoned and reforested. However, increasing disturbances from pollution, climate change, and pests are worsening forest health. The Irati Forest in Spain illustrates complex forest management issues, as declining fir regeneration allows beech to dominate and herbivores prevent fir seedling growth, possibly due to past wolf extirpation. Solutions require addressing the interconnected social, economic, and ecological factors shaping forest ecosystems over the long term.

Edmund Barrow, et al.:Governments are Decentralizing Responsibility for Fores...Sahel_BeyondForestryLaws The document discusses whether rural communities in Africa are able to take on management responsibilities for forests as governments decentralize control. It argues that while secure land tenure rights are important, rural people also need greater equity, ability to organize rules and sanctions, ability to negotiate as equals, process and add value to forest products, and competitively enter markets. The presentation will summarize findings on forest ownership in Africa and conditions needed for communities to manage forests sustainably.
Deforestation in Tropical Country
Deforestation in Tropical CountryRisqia Fajrina 1) Deforestation refers to the depletion of tree cover below 10% and can result in total habitat destruction. It is caused by activities like clear-cutting and agricultural expansion.
2) Comparing forest area changes over 5-10 years with GDP per capita data, some countries have seen increases in natural forest expansion correlated with rises in CO2 emissions, while others have experienced continued deforestation.
3) Over 1.6 billion people rely on forests in some way for their livelihoods, obtaining fuelwood, medicine, and food from forest resources. GDP increases are associated with both forest reductions and increases in different places.
Can we manage forests for multiple uses in the Congo Basin?
Can we manage forests for multiple uses in the Congo Basin?Robert Nasi This document discusses managing forests in the Congo Basin for multiple uses. It notes that timber extraction currently dominates management but that forests also provide non-timber forest products, biodiversity, and ecosystem services. Managing forests actively for some combinations of these uses is possible, though there may be tradeoffs. An integrated landscape approach that combines different land use types like protected areas, logging concessions, and community forests may help balance multiple objectives. Research is needed to better understand interactions between different forest uses and how to implement multiple-use management.
Redd alert linking global climate to local behavior
Redd alert linking global climate to local behaviorASB Partnership for the Tropical Forest Margins 1. The document discusses issues related to linking global climate arrangements to local land-use behavior through REDD+ programs. It notes that public attention to climate change may be declining as solutions seem too complex or expensive.
2. Modeling shows REDD+ can benefit landowners but raise opportunity costs for local subsistence needs. While it avoids emissions, rent and wage changes may create net costs for most stakeholders.
3. The document argues REDD+ should support agricultural intensification and reduce food waste to relieve pressure on forests, while considering equity, effectiveness and local flexibility in program design.
Doris Capistrano ppt
Doris Capistrano pptcomaf Global forest policy is shaped by competing narratives around conservation and development. Key trends include climate change putting forests back on the global agenda, demands for land increasing for food, fuel and carbon, and the empowerment of indigenous peoples and forest communities. While deforestation continues, it is occurring at a slower pace as protected areas and planted forests expand, especially in Asia-Pacific countries.

Development of carbon code – experience from forestry
Development of carbon code – experience from forestryAberdeen CES The Woodland Carbon Code (WCC) is a voluntary standard for woodland carbon sequestration projects in the UK. It was developed over three years by the Forestry Commission to provide clarity, consistency, and transparency for carbon projects and reassure investors. The WCC framework includes requirements for measuring baseline emissions, leakage, and project carbon sequestration from tree biomass, soil, and management effects. Projects must be certified against the WCC by an accredited certification body and undergo validation when starting and verification every five years. To date, 39 projects have registered under the WCC, which are projected to sequester over 750,000 tonnes of CO2e over 100 years through creating over 2,200

This will reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 871,000 tons. The project will be financed through voluntary carbon markets. It follows national carbon cycle procedures in Belarus and international standards under the Voluntary Carbon Standard. Rewetting 9,440 additional hectares from 2011-2015 will reduce emissions by 260,000 tons in that period.
GEST Model – vegetation proxy for GHG flux from peatlands
GEST Model – vegetation proxy for GHG flux from peatlandsAberdeen CES This document discusses proxies for greenhouse gas fluxes from peat soils, including subsidence, water table depth, and vegetation. It notes that while subsidence indicates carbon emissions, it does not cover nitrous oxide and methane or drained situations. Water table depth can be difficult to map remotely and monitor directly. Vegetation groups can serve as indicators of mean water levels. The document provides an example of how changes in vegetation from drainage to rewetting of a bog could lead to reduced greenhouse gas emissions.
Overview of international & national policy framework
Overview of international & national policy frameworkAberdeen CES This document summarizes key aspects of international climate agreements as they relate to peatlands, including provisions under the UNFCCC and Kyoto Protocol for accounting for emissions and removals from wetland drainage and rewetting. It notes IUCN UK Peatland Programme's expertise in peatland restoration and role advising on greenhouse gas inventories and climate targets. Finally, it outlines various carbon market mechanisms and the need to consider payments for restoring peatland function in addition to conserving existing function.

It outlines the VCS's methodology requirements, validation and verification procedures, and registry system. The VCS aims to stimulate mitigation innovations, provide transparency, and link carbon markets worldwide through a robust framework. Project activities must demonstrate that emission reductions are real, additional, permanent, and independently verified.
Towards a framework for peatland PES
Towards a framework for peatland PESAberdeen CES The document discusses the cost effectiveness of peatland management and restoration. It provides some illustrative examples showing the upfront and ongoing costs of restoration techniques like grip blocking in uplands, and compares the costs per ton of carbon dioxide saved to other mitigation options. However, it notes the results are dependent on assumptions and site-specific conditions that require more detailed monitoring and data collection to properly assess overall cost effectiveness relative to other options and the costs of inaction. Proper targeting of restoration efforts needs better geographic data.

Blind Spots in AI and Formulation Science Knowledge Pyramid (Updated Perspect...Ajaz Hussain This presentation delves into the systemic blind spots within pharmaceutical science and regulatory systems, emphasizing the significance of "inactive ingredients" and their influence on therapeutic equivalence. These blind spots, indicative of normalized systemic failures, go beyond mere chance occurrences and are ingrained deeply enough to compromise decision-making processes and erode trust.
Historical instances like the 1938 FD&C Act and the Generic Drug Scandals underscore how crisis-triggered reforms often fail to address the fundamental issues, perpetuating inefficiencies and hazards.
The narrative advocates a shift from reactive crisis management to proactive, adaptable systems prioritizing continuous enhancement. Key hurdles involve challenging outdated assumptions regarding bioavailability, inadequately funded research ventures, and the impact of vague language in regulatory frameworks.
The rise of large language models (LLMs) presents promising solutions, albeit with accompanying risks necessitating thorough validation and seamless integration.
Tackling these blind spots demands a holistic approach, embracing adaptive learning and a steadfast commitment to self-improvement. By nurturing curiosity, refining regulatory terminology, and judiciously harnessing new technologies, the pharmaceutical sector can progress towards better public health service delivery and ensure the safety, efficacy, and real-world impact of drug products.
