The Bench Marks Foundation, Earthworks, Federation for A Sustainable Environment, Groundwork as well as the National Union of Mineworkers and the various participants at the South African Tailings Civil Society Working Group call on the South African government to ensure justice for the people of Jagersfontein, in the Free State province.

The ASEAN Declaration On The Right To A Safe, Clean, (Healthy), Sustainable Environment aims to provide an unprecedented regional framework, to push for the implementation of international environmental rights standards. These include the 2022 U.N. General Assembly Resolution of access to a clean, healthy and sustainable environment as a universal human right. This would be the region's first-ever policy instrument on environmental rights, and once adopted, the Declaration will guide ASEAN member states in strengthening action and accountability related to environmental rights. We find out more about this groundbreaking initiative from Max Han, the co-founder of Youths United For Earth (YUFE), and a representative at the meetings from the ASEAN Youth Forum, and also Roger Joseph (Rocky) Guzman, an Environmental lawyer and the Deputy Director of the Asian Research Institute for Environmental Law.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A group of sixteen advocacy groups have penned an open letter to the Government, calling for a right to a sustainable environment. This comes as a member's bill by James Shaw, which proposes to introduce the right to the Bill of Rights Act, is set to be introduced to Parliament on Wednesday. Inclusion in the Bill of Rights Act would mean all other legislation would be presumed to be consistent with a sustainable environment unless it clearly states otherwise. Lawyers for Climate Action executive director Jessica Palairet spoke to Corin Dann.

Why should we connect the environment to issues of peace and conflict? And in a world of dramatically increased geopolitical tensions, is it possible for cooperation on climate change and environmental issues to contribute to positive change at the level of great power politics? In this episode, Ashok Swain (Uppsala University) and Cedric de Coning (NUPI) talk about these issues with Thor Olav Iversen (NUPI). Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This audio is brought to you by Wearcheck, your condition monitoring specialist. Gold mining company Harmony estimates that it will achieve total cumulative net present value savings of R3.6-billion from its three solar power projects, one of them already generating 30 MW of clean, green energy. To reduce its carbon footprint, the JSE-listed Harmony, headed by CEO Peter Steenkamp, has been building and commissioning renewable energy projects at its South African operations since May 2022. Harmony's decarbonisation strategy is guiding operations to net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2045 along a transition pathway that includes energy efficiency, portfolio re-engineering, electricity mix, improvement adaptation and decarbonisation of the transportation sector. Within host communities, Harmony, chaired by Dr Patrice Motsepe, is working with the Federation for a Sustainable Environment to build a resilience to the impacts of climate change. The savings from the phased introduction of these projects is detailed in Harmony's latest Environmental Social Governance Report, which shows a total of 223 MW solar power over three phases being augmented by 140 MW of wind power in a fourth phase. A 30 MW solar plant commissioned for Tshepong, Nyala and Eland in May at a capital cost of R5-billion, is expected to save R340-million over 15 years as it takes 62 000 t/y of carbon out of the air. The construction of the second-phase 137 MW solar project under way for supply to Moab Khotsong, Great Noligwa and Noligwa gold plant in 2025 at a capital cost of R2.5-billion, will save R2.5-billion over 15 years. Capital of R1.7-billion will be invested for the first 100 MW, and the remaining 37 MW will be allocated to an independent power producer to collectively eliminate 4.6-million tonnes of carbon over 25 years. Funding for its decarbonisation strategy is facilitated by Rand Merchant Bank, African Clean Energy Developments, African Infrastructure Investment Managers, Mahlako Energy Fund, Absa and Nedbank. The facilities, amounting to R4-billion, include a R1.5-billion green loan for the second phase of the renewable energy programme. Harmony's current assets are predominantly deep underground mining operations, which are more energy intensive than surface mines and account for 89% of the group's total electricity consumption in its 2023 financial year. In South Africa, energy accounts for about 19% of operating costs. PAPUA NEW GUINEA More diesel power than grid power is being used at Hidden Valley in Papua New Guinea (PNG) following a drought constraining PNG Power's hydropower capacity. Water in Yonki dam, serving the Ramu hydropower station, was critically low for most of the year and smaller run-of-river hydropower plants were also restricted to 30% of normal supply to the Ramu grid. This led to intense loadshedding until the hydropower generation recovered. However, commissioning of the 11.6 MW Baime hydropower plant owned by PNG Forest Products in March augmented PNG Power supply. In Australia, Harmony is assessing alternative power supply options and mixes for Eva Copper, including the integration of renewables into project design and future opportunities related to the Queensland government's CopperString project. The May 2020 Eva Copper feasibility study and December 2021 update, prepared before Harmony acquired the copper asset, proposed gas-fired power as the life-of-mine solution for the project. However, in keeping with its climate change commitments, Harmony is revisiting its power source and energy mix as part of a detailed review and optimisation study. Alternative power supply options and mixes are being assessed, including integration of renewables into project design and future opportunities related to the Queensland government's CopperString project. To understand future power supply options, various stakeholders are being worked with, including the government-owned Powerlink Queensland, which will construct and manage Co...

In this episode of Flanigan's Eco-Logic, Ted speaks with Mike Robinson, an Industry Vertical Advisor for the Retail and Consumer Goods practice. He provides expert advice regarding digital retailing, and brings over 30 years of experience from both management consulting and executive operator perspectives. He and Ted discuss his background, growing up in Northeastern Pennsylvania, in a small, rural town. He is a proud alumni of Penn State University, and shares that he has had a varied career, starting in the pharmaceutical industry in Philadelphia, which brought him out to Southern California, and later jumped into consulting, which led him to digital retail, now the focus of his career. Previously, Mike was the EVP/Digital Business Leader for Macy's, where he and his team were responsible for 10x revenue growth over 8 years, and firmly established Macys.com as the #5 Digital Retailer in the U.S. Currently, Mike is acting as both an angel investor and strategic advisor for numerous early stage AI-enabled startups, specifically focused on critical components of the ever-evolving retail customer journey. In addition, he is the Head of Retail Operations and a Founding Member for The Eighth Notch (aka T8N), an early stage startup in the Logistics-tech space.Mike discusses the how and why behind an urgent need for the retail industry to adopt more sustainable solutions and critical insights into how both small and large-scale retail brands are beginning to align with demand from investors and consumers for eco-conscious alternatives and operations. He shares the mission of Eighth Notch, which is to reduce the number of deliveries and create a more sustainable supply chain by ensuring the most sustainable mile is the one never driven. The Eighth Notch is working with retailers and carriers to reduce the number of deliveries and optimize routes. This not only results in significant operational savings for retailers but also contributes to a more sustainable environment by cutting down on carbon emissions. Mike emphasized that the avoidance of emissions, rather than offsetting, is a crucial part of their approach.

Just last month, the Federal Court delivered its decision on the Taman Rimba Kiara case, where the panel of judges unanimously decided that the development order obtained in 2017 by the joint venture of Yayasan Wilayah Persekutuan and Developer Memang Perkasa Sdn Bhd for the Taman Rimba Kiara project was null and void. This decision is a landmark victory for all those who fought to preserve Taman Rimba Kiara, a much loved public space and green lung in the Klang Valley. We discuss the outcome of the legal case and how the landmark ruling will impact other public litigation cases in the country with two lawyers - Abraham Au, a Constitutional Lawyer with Messers G.S. Nijar, who appeared for the residents, and Kiu Jia Yaw, the Co-Deputy Chair of the Bar Council Environment & Climate Change Committee and the co-chair of the Malaysian CSO-SDG Alliance. On a broader scale, taking into account that Malaysia does not have an explicit recognition of environmental rights in our Constitution, we also discuss whether we should push for an amendment of our Federal Constitution to expressly recognise access to a clean, healthy and sustainable environment, as a fundamental right.Image Credit: Facebook

The U.N. General Assembly — the highest UN body that wields considerable influence over its member states — adopted a historic resolution: the recognition that it's a universal human right to live in a clean, healthy and sustainable environment, on the 29th of July 2022. The resolution has been five decades in the making, and is described as an important tool for accountability and climate justice. But as a non-legally binding resolution, can it still serve as a catalyst for change and climate action? What is Malaysia's constitutional position on environmental rights? We discuss this and more with Emeritus Professor Datuk Dr Hj Shad Saleem Faruqi, Holder of the Tunku Abdul Rahman Chair, at the University of Malaya, and Kiu Jia Yaw, the Secretary of the CERAH Anti-Haze Action Group, and Co-chair of the Malaysian CSO-SDG Alliance.

This week, we address Question #8 of the series: The Answer is Love: Questions to Explore as We Transition into an Era of Peace.The question is: “Are humans capable of creating a sustainable environment where all elements of creation can thrive?” My teacher used to say, “You think you are a small star, when in fact you contain the whole universe.” Rumi said, “You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the ocean in a drop.” Everything we see outside of ourselves is a reflection of what we contain within us. Likewise, everything contained within us is reflected in how we relate to what is outside of us. We cannot separate ourselves from the rest of creation – AND the inner work we do to bring inner peace and wholeness does affect the collective consciousness as well as the global and cosmic vibrations. As I sat in meditation reflecting on this question/answer today, I see how evident this is. There are many pathways we can travel to approach this topic: * Healing our own bodies, * Healing our relationships with others, * Praying for healing of the collective consciousness, * Praying for healing for the planet, all her inhabitants and her environment, * Healing mantras to bring all vibrations closer to the vibrations of Divine Peace and Unity. The approach we take today will depend on who shows up and what is needed. All the doorways are open. Are we capable of living in sustainability and peace? Yes. Will we? It depends on us – each one of us. Listen to this meditation to bring healing and alignment for yourself, your relationships, the collectives, our planet, our environment. The Meditation & Healing Circle is live every Sunday at 10am US ET / 7am US PT. You're welcome to join us. If you join live, you can stay on after the meditation for Q&A, support and discussion. http://JoyfullyLivingWellness.com/the-community-calls http://CommunityforConsciousLiving.com

Anshu Sharma is the Co-Founder of Sustainable Environment and Ecological Development Society (SEEDS). In this episode, 'Understanding the Future of Disaster Resilience in Cities', with Anshu Sharma, we explore the topic of disaster resilience and how it can be integrated in the urban ecosystem. In this episode, we start the conversation by understanding the meaning of disaster and disaster-resilience, followed by various perspectives of disaster management in the urban planning ecosystem (preparedness, plans, immediate responses & recovery, and rehabilitation). We further discuss the preparedness plan in action for cities in the north/mountains with a high risk of earthquake/floods, so that people are prepared in advance for such disasters. He also helps us better understand, how the services like the fire stations, police stations, hospitals can deal with such disasters and how their capacity needs to be developed. Further, he explains the role of technology in facilitating and the kind of technological interventions that are coming up to help in disaster management activities. At last, he helps us understand the skillsets required to develop a solution for this, also looking at the aspect of technology.

Dr. Maria Fernanda Campa considers the facts revealed in Saudi America: The Truth about Fracking and How It's Changing the World by Bethany McLean. "In addition to easy access to investment capital, the oil and gas industry enjoys the biggest subsidies of any energy sector—yes, more than renewables," Campa said. "Further, the oil and gas industry is exempted from environmental policies, such as the Clean Water Act, to facilitate and support oil and gas sector production growth rate. However, even with all these economic and political advantages, it is quite interesting to read that the fracking industry is still not generating enough cash flow to carry itself." Campa is a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Institute for a Secure and Sustainable Environment at the University of Tennessee studying issues in hydraulic fracturing.

Funders from around the world realize that to ensure a livable future for humanity requires that people have ready access to clean and plentiful water, fresh air, open spaces, a stable climate, and a rich array of biodiversity. There are no environmental matters that do not involve people, and all people rely on a healthy environment. Yet many funders shy away from funding in this area, often due to its complex nature, at a time when our support is so critical! We hope you'll join Kristin Hull, Director of the Nia Community Fund and Joel Solomon, Chairman & Co-Founder of Renewal for a conversation about bold giving and investing toward a just and sustainable environment for all. Whether you give globally or closer to home or are considering stepping up your giving, our speakers will explore some of the issue surrounding this complex and often overwhelming funding area and discuss strategies for funding and investing toward environmental causes from choosing the right groups to measuring impact. --- Hosted by: Babbie Jacobs; Featuring Bold Givers: Joel Solomon, Kristin Hull

Mr Matthew Lugg “Planning For a More Sustainable Environment”- a low carbon society?

Vodcast by the director of environment ad transport Leicestershire.

This video from Resource Innovations, a program within the Institute for a Sustainable Environment, details how heating buildings with woody biomass can save money and promote carbon-neutral energy uses. The video highlights the first public school in Oregon to switch from a heating-oil system to one based on woody biomass. As communities struggle with climate change and rising energy costs one isolated rural community is using what’s in their backyard to heat their school and save money. The episode features Nils Christoffersen from Wallowa Resources, a community-based non-profit, Brad Royce, Superintendent of Schools for the Enterprise School District and Cameron Hamilton of McKinstry Co, the contractor who supervised construction. A companion guidebook, Wood Heat Solutions: A Community Guide to Biomass Thermal Projects is available from Resource Innovations.
