Joan transitioned from male to female during her tenure as a biology professor at Stanford University. When Roughgarden's colleagues perceived her as a man, they took her competence as a given. After her transition, though, Joan found she had “to establish competence to an extent that men never have to.

Bodega Emina se adentra en el corazón de Cantabria con su primera presentación dirigida a profesionales de la hostelería, con el propósito de destacar la versatilidad y riqueza de su amplia gama de vinos. En este exclusivo evento, más de un centenar de restaurantes locales han podido catar y descubrir las propuestas de Bodega Emina, una bodega comprometida con la calidad, la sostenibilidad y el respeto por la tradición vitivinícola. Sobre el evento, organizado en colaboración con El Horno San José, distribuidor en Cantabria de sus referencias, hemos charlado en Hoy por Hoy Cantabria con Paloma Moro, presidenta de Bodega Emina. La colección de vinos de la Bodega Emina abarca tres importantes denominaciones de origen: D.O. Ribera del Duero, D.O. Rueda y D.O. Cigales. “La marca Emina, reconocida por la producción de vinos de alta calidad provenientes de viñedos propios y su firme compromiso con la sostenibilidad, llega a Cantabria para mostrar la versatilidad de nuestros vinos en el maridaje con la rica gastronomía cántabra”, nos ha contado Paloma Moro.HistoriaFundada por el ingeniero agrónomo y bodeguero Carlos Moro en 2004, y ahora presidida por su hija, Paloma Moro, Emina cuenta con dos bodegas, una en Ribera del Duero y otra en Rueda, lo que permite a la marca tener una gran diversidad de tipos de vinos: blancos, rosados, blancos fermentados en barrica, espumosos y tintos. Su orientación hacia la elaboración de vinos de alta calidad a partir de viñedos propios cultivados con esmero y pasión, el respeto a la tradición y la innovación son parte fundamental de su ADN. Por ejemplo, los viñedos se monitorizan de forma inteligente; reciben agua, fertilizantes o fitosanitarios sólo cuando es estrictamente necesario. El resultado es la reducción de su huella hídrica y el respeto con la biodiversidad local. La bodega concibe la innovación y la sostenibilidad como una actitud y un concepto establecido en su filosofía, convirtiéndose en parte intrínseca de su estrategia empresarial. Fue la primera empresa española con certificación AENOR que midió su huella de carbono. Emina Ribera cuenta con el certificado Wineries for Climate Protection y forma parte de International Wineries for Climate Action (IWCA) un grupo de trabajo colaborativo que aborda el cambio climático mediante estrategias innovadoras de reducción de las emisiones de carbono. Por su parte, Bodega Emina Rueda cuenta con la certificación SWfCP Plus, muestra del inquebrantable compromiso con el medioambiente de la bodega.

Inzwischen ist HVO100 seit einigen Monaten an öffentlichen Tankstellen in Deutschland als Reinkraftstoff verfügbar. Autofahrer und Flottenbetreiber, die zum Beispiel Lkw einsetzen, können so schnell und meist ohne technische Modifikationen auf den Kraftstoff zurückgreifen. Neben dem Einsatz auf der Straße gibt es aber auch noch andere Anwendungsfelder. So greift etwa DB Cargo seit einigen Jahren auf erneuerbaren Diesel zurück, der von dem Unternehmen Neste aus Finnland hergestellt und geliefert wird. In dieser Folge von "Alles Wissen HVO100" ist Jörg Schneider, der Head of Climate Protection and Energy von DB Cargo zu Gast. Er berichtet über die Erfahrungen mit HVO100 und welche Ziele das Schienengüterverkehrsunternehmen mit dem Einsatz des Treibstoffes verfolgt.

Show 14-34 Summary: Oregon's latest wealth redistribution scheme, Governor Kotek's Climate Protection Plan, is a plan to solve to solve nothing. It is a carbon cap and trade scheme forcing to pretend to cut carbon dioxide emissions. It will have no impact on climate. Zero. None. But it will cost Oregonians millions more every year. … Read More Read More The post 14-34 Oregon's New Redistribution Scheme: The Climate Protection Plan appeared first on The I Spy Radio Show.

*) Israel blocks food three times more than other aid in Palestine's Gaza: UN Israel has been blocking far more convoys carrying food aid within Gaza, where famine is looming, than convoys carrying other kinds of aid, the UN said. On Tuesday, a spokesman for the United Nations' humanitarian agency pointed to statistics from March showing that it was much more difficult to get clearance for delivering food than other aid in the war-ravaged Palestinian territory. Israel is facing mounting international pressure to allow more aid into Gaza, which is facing a humanitarian catastrophe six months into the start of Israeli bombardment. *) Australia considers recognising independent Palestinian state Australia has become the latest country to advocate formal recognition of a Palestinian state. Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong said on Tuesday that recognising a state of Palestine could restart the moribund Middle East peace process and undermine extremist forces in the Middle East. "Recognising a Palestinian state — one that can only exist side by side with a secure Israel — doesn't just offer the Palestinian people an opportunity to realise their aspirations", she told an audience in Canberra. "It also strengthens the forces for peace and undermines extremism. It undermines Hamas, Iran and Iran's other destructive proxies in the region." *) Palestine hails Turkish export restrictions on Israel amid Gaza onslaught Israel threatened to hit back at Türkiye over its decision to restrict exports of certain goods, saying they will “appeal to pro-Israel countries and organisations in the US to stop investments in Türkiye and prevent the import of products from Türkiye.” Israel will "contact countries and organisations in the US to stop investments in Türkiye and to prevent the import of products from Türkiye, and to our friends in the American Congress to examine a violation of the boycott laws and impose sanctions on Türkiye accordingly,” Israel Katz, Tel Aviv's foreign minister, said on X on Tuesday. A statement by Katz's office said he ordered the Foreign Ministry's economic office to “draw up an extensive list of products that Israel will prevent Türkiye from exporting to Israel.” “Türkiye unilaterally violates the trade agreements with Israel, and Israel will take all necessary measures against it,” the statement said. *) Europe's top court condemns Switzerland in landmark climate ruling Europe's top rights court has said Switzerland was not doing enough to tackle the climate crisis in a historic decision that could force governments to adopt more ambitious climate policies. Hopes had been high for a legal turning point ahead of the rulings in the three cases, treated as a priority by the 17 judges of the court's Grand Chamber. The Swiss association of Elders for Climate Protection — 2,500 women aged 73 on average — had complained about the "failings of the Swiss authorities" in terms of climate protection that could "seriously harm" their health. The court ordered the Swiss state to pay the association almost $87,000 within three months. And finally… *) Nobel prize-winning physicist Peter Higgs dies at 94 Nobel prize-winning physicist Peter Higgs, who proposed the existence of the so-called "God particle" that helped explain how matter formed after the Big Bang, has died at age 94, the University of Edinburgh said. The university, where Higgs was an emeritus professor, said he died on Monday following a short illness. Higgs' work helps scientists understand one of the most fundamental riddles of the universe: how the Big Bang created something out of nothing 13.8 billion years ago. Higgs won the 2013 Nobel Prize in Physics for his work, alongside Francois Englert of Belgium, who independently came up with the same theory.

A group of older Swiss women have won the first ever climate case victory in the European Court of Human Rights. The women, mostly in their 70s, said that their age and gender made them particularly vulnerable to the effects of heatwaves linked to climate change. But will it set a precedent? We'll hear a legal view.Also in the programme: We ask Hamas if they can account for Israeli hostages held in Gaza; and the parents of a school gunman are sentenced for manslaughter, Newshour speaks to the father of one of the boys killed.

How can luxury brands build a more sustainable future? What does luxury mean in a climate crisis?In this episode of Lives of Tomorrow, WGSN CEO Carla Buzasi discusses the future of luxury exploring ways brands can uphold their social and environmental responsibilities.Joining Carla to explore the evolution of the luxury market is Diana Verde Nieto, co-founder of Positive Luxury, a sustainability organisation that supports luxury brands in adapting and transitioning to a sustainable future.Diana is the author of Reimagining Luxury: Building a Sustainable Future for your Brand. She holds a degree in Global Leadership & Public Policy from Harvard Kennedy School and has been trained by former USA Vice President, Al Gore at the Alliance of Climate Protection, and was subsequently honoured by the World Economic Forum as a Young Global Leader. Carla and Diana discuss how luxury is a dance between modernity and heritage, what luxury brands can do to build a better tomorrow, how ‘thinking the unthinkable' can keep a business agile and guarantee success, and how five consumer demographics interact with luxury – from Boomers right down to Alphas – are impacting the industry.

This week, we're bringing you a panel discussion from the Institute for Carbon Removal Law and Policy's annual CDR conference. Our policy panelist, Wil Burns, hosted the conference and led this panel discussion on the role of mandates in growing CDR in the US. The US government has stepped forward into the role of subsidizing and encouraging CDR in recent years, offering a ‘carrot' to promote the new industry, in the form of large grants and tax incentives. But what could the government do to present a ‘stick'- requiring CDR using existing regulations? That's the topic of this policy panel featuring Dan Galpern, the Executive Director of the Climate Protection and Restoration Initiative, and Stephanie Arcusa, a researcher at the Arizona State University Center for Negative Carbon Emissions.  Dan spoke about using the Toxic Substances Control Act to regulate carbon emissions, including the possibility of mandating carbon dioxide removal as a condition for allowing ongoing emissions. He argues that the TSCA provides clear authority for such regulation, citing past precedents and legal interpretations. Stephanie discusses the concept of a Carbon Take Back Obligation, which would require fossil fuel producers to sequester a ton of carbon for every ton they extract. This policy aims to gradually transition to net-zero emissions by creating a demand for carbon removal and applying the policy upstream in the fossil fuel supply chain. Both approaches aim to address the challenges of scaling up carbon removal and mitigating climate change, but they also raise questions about political feasibility, environmental justice, and the impact on consumers, particularly those in lower-income households. We hope you enjoy this high-level look at the policy levers that may one day lead to the scaling up of CDR.   On This Episode Wil Burns Dan Galpern Stephanie Arcusa Resources Institute for Carbon Removal Law and Policy UN Production Gap Report Toxic Substances Control Act EU Industrial Net-Zero Act CA's CDR Market Development Act CBTO in the news Connect with Nori Nori Nori's Twitter Nori's other podcast Reversing Climate Change Nori's CDR meme twitter account   --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/carbonremovalnewsroom/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/carbonremovalnewsroom/support

Instead of seeing ourselves as separate from the world we observe, can we imagine that it is the Buddha looking out through our eyes, wishing the best for everyone and everything?In this talk, Larry Robinson explains that in the Mayahana traditions, we sit and practice not to attain or accomplish anything, but to express our Bodhicitta, our true nature, and to connect with the underlying reality of all things: unity. He explores in further detail the practices that help reinforce our experience of unity: the 16 Bodhisattwa precepts. Rather than commandments, these are guidelines for experiencing the world through the eyes of the Buddha; a roadmap for remembering who we really are.   ______________Larry Robinson has been a practicing Buddhist for 47 years, mostly in the Zen and Vipassana traditions. He is a member of the Occidental Laguna Sangha in Sebastopol, studying with Bruce Fortin in the lineage of Suzuki Roshi. A long-time environmental and social justice activist, he is a retired ecopsychologist and former mayor of Sebastopol. He serves on the board of directors of the Center for Climate Protection and the board of trustees of Meridian University. His “large and foolish project” (in the words of Rumi) is to restore the soul of the world through reawakening the oral tradition of poetry.

Sweden may have a green reputation, but its timber industry has been clearcutting old-growth forests for decades. Activists, tourism operators, and reindeer herders hope to slow deforestation by putting pressure on timber giant Sveaskog.

“Ecuador had not declared community protected area management by Indigenous peoples until Tiwi Nunka Forest. This area is the first of its kind in Ecuador, and one of the few in the entire Amazon,” says Felipe Serrano on this episode. His organization Nature and Culture International recently helped the Shuar Indigenous community in Ecuador win a historic victory to protect its ancestral territory from cattle ranchers, loggers and miners, and he discusses how the community succeeded on this episode. We also speak with Paul Koberstein, editor of the Cascadia Times, an environmental journal based in Portland, Oregon, who with Jessica Applegate recently published "Deep Cut," an article at Earth Island Journal that details the flawed basis for the U.S. State of Washington's new and flawed climate solution: cutting down forests.

My guest is Şenol Ağaç, founder of Zerobottle. Şenol has been an independent consultant in the drinking water industry since 2016. While living in Paris and working internationally, Şenol was amazed to discover that in countries like France, Austria, and the Netherlands, most people drink from the tap; in Germany people stick to the mass use of bottled water. Through his continued work, he recognized the huge environmental impact of switching to tap water. Also the quality of water as a protected food, the convenience of immediate availability, and the extremely low cost of 0.2 Euro Cents per liter on average are unbeatable arguments for its enjoyment. In 2022, Şenol founded the environmental movement - Zerobottle. The issue of switching from bottled to tap water has become even more critical given inflation (which also affects bottled water) and independence from Russian fossil fuels (which are also used in the production and transport of bottled water). Not to speak of the hot weather periods we're experiencing as a result of climate change. The solution is tap water! Şenol's vision for Germany: One day you will walk through everyday life with a refill bottle and refill everywhere instead buying water in single-use plastic bottles.

Welcome to episode 1043 in which host Polly Hammond interviews Diana Verde Nieto, this week on Uncorked. This week, we're joined by Diana Verde Nieto, co-founder and CEO of Positive Luxury. Long before Sustainability was a buzzword, Diana and her team began working with luxury organizations to support awareness and improvements in ESG+ goals. Today, we tap into her 20 years of experience to better understand what is really motivating change, how the luxury market is different, and how consumers and producers alike can balance pragmatic needs with sustainable choices. Let's get into it! More about today's guest: Diana Verde Nieto is the co-founder and CEO of Positive Luxury, developers of the globally-recognized Butterfly Mark. Their proprietary ESG+ assessment framework is the only one designed for the specific social, environmental and material risks of the luxury industry. Originally from Argentina, Diana credits growing up under a dictatorship to her understanding of how policy directly affects outcomes for a country and its citizens. This understanding drove her to start a consultancy on sustainability in 2003, long before it was trendy. Diana holds a degree in Global Leadership & Public Policy from Harvard Kennedy School and was trained on environmental and sustainability through Al Gore's Alliance for Climate Protection.
