PRIORITIZING THE PATHWAY TO SUSTAINABLE INFRASTRUCTURE
The combined impacts of COVID-19 and net-zero commitments have resulted in an unprecedented disruption of the $11.6 trillion global infrastructure industry. Meeting net-zero targets will require the industry to transform project development and delivery to deliver a global portfolio of projects at an unprecedented scale and pace. What are the pivotal actions we need to take now to enable sustainable infrastructure for the decades to come?
Facilitators:
Tip Huizenga, Senior Partner, McKinsey & Company; Co-chair, GII
Detlev Mohr, Senior Partner, McKinsey & Company; Co-chair, GII
In this interactive session, Detlev and Tip will briefly frame the topic with a few slides to set the context. This will be followed by them asking the question to the audience, “What are the pivotal actions we need to take now to enable sustainable infrastructure for the decades to come?” The audience will be requested to discuss the question for ~7 minutes in their pods, submitting their ideas through the GII app to form a Word Cloud on the screen.

Pakistan, Nowshera, August 2010
The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) is scaling up emergency relief to victims of catastrophic flooding in Pakistan, prioritizing the worst-affected areas of Peshawar, Mardan, Charsadda and Nowshera, as it continues to identify stricken communities across the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) province.
Further food distributions are planned to start in Swat and Dera Ismail Khan in the coming days, in conjunction with an extensive network of national and international partner NGOs.
“We are now into the third day of delivering food to hungry families in Peshawar, Mardan, Charsadda and Nowshera, and have reached more than 40, 000 people with life-saving rations,” said WFP Executive Director, Josette Sheeran.
“We are prioritising the worst-affected areas. More distributions are due to start as WFP mobilises staff to overcome immense logistical challenges.”
“Operations are being mounted on both sides of the border – in Pakistan and in Afghanistan – in these heartbreaking days of loss and suffering,” Sheeran added.

For most of us, our prime objective is to be satisfied. Everything that we do in our daily life is motivated by that desire. But are our actions really leading to the satisfaction that we crave? If life were a game of checkers, just thinking about the next source of temporary satisfaction would probably give a us a reasonable chance of success. However, the reality is that these short-term gains are just that, fleeting.
We’re much better off looking at life as a game of chess where we need to strategically position ourselves to take advantage of opportunities that actually make us satisfied over the very long-term. This kind of positioning is achieved by training in mindfulness so that we are able to respond quickly and correctly to life’s difficulties when they arise. This likely means a degree of sacrifice along the way but if we’ve prioritized correctly, those sacrifices will be what’s fleeting and the happiness we gain will endure.

India signals it will continue to buy oil from Russia
NEW DELHI (AP) — India will prioritize its own energy needs and continue to buy oil from Russia, its foreign minister signaled Monday, as Western governments press Moscow with a price cap to squeeze its earnings from oil exports.
Minister of External Affairs Subrahmanyam Jaishankar made the comments after holding talks with his visiting German counterpart, Annalena Baerbock, in which they discussed bilateral relations and Russia’s war in Ukraine. Jaishankar said it isn't right for European countries to prioritize their energy needs but “ask India to do something else.”
“Europe will make the choices it will make. It is their right,” he told reporters.
India has so far not committed to the $60-per-barrel price cap on Russian oil set by the Group of Seven major industrialized countries and European Union that is expected to come into effect Monday. The move is an attempt by Western governments to limit fossil fuel earnings that support Moscow’s budget, its military and its invasion of Ukraine, while also avoiding a possible sharp price spike if Russia’s oil is suddenly taken off the global market.
Jaishankar did not make any direct reference to the price cap but said the European Union was importing more fossil fuel from Russia than India. Indian officials have defended buying oil from Russia, saying the lower price benefits India.
Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, India has steadily increased its purchases of discounted Russian oil. Indian imports of Russian oil hit a record high in October, with Russia becoming India’s top oil supplier in terms of barrels per day, the Press Trust of India news agency said, quoting data from energy tracker Vortexa.
India and Russia have close relations and New Delhi has not supported Western sanctions on Moscow, even though it has repeatedly urged an “immediate cessation of violence” in Ukraine. India, also a major market for Russian-made weapons, has so far abstained from U.N. resolutions critical of Moscow's war.
Jaishankar and Baerbock, who is in India on a two-day visit, also discussed a diversification of trade between the two countries, global consequences of the Russian war on Ukraine and cooperation in the energy transition away from fossil fuels.
The two countries also signed a migration and mobility partnership which will make it easier for people to study, do research and work in each other’s country.
Germany is India’s largest trading partner in Europe and more than 1,700 German companies are operating in India. German investments in India are mainly in transportation, electrical equipment, construction, trading and automobiles.

Netherlands proposes EU gas price cap for state-backed buyers - document
BRUSSELS, Dec 5 (Reuters) - The Netherlands has weighed into the European Union's debate on whether to cap gas prices with an alternative proposal that would cap gas prices but only for government-owned or state-supported buyers.
EU countries are negotiating a European Commission proposal for a cap to limit gas price spikes as countries attempt to pull down high energy costs in their economies, and are racing to reach a deal by Dec. 13.
The Dutch proposal, shared with EU countries and seen by Reuters, said government-backed gas buyers and companies obliged by law to buy gas to fill storage had contributed to surging gas prices in Europe this summer, as countries raced to replace dwindling Russian gas deliveries and were willing to pay sky-high prices to do so.
The Netherlands therefore proposed capping gas transactions by those buyers at a level below the cap proposed by the EU, and which would be reviewed each month.
Europe's energy crunch has driven countries including the Netherlands to subsidise storage filling, while Germany is nationalising gas importers Uniper SE (UN01.DE) and Sefe. State-owned gas buyers in Poland, Italy and Austria could also be affected by the proposed Dutch cap.
The lower price cap - which the proposal did not specify - could help the idea win support from Belgium, Poland, Italy and other countries who want an EU cap but criticised the EU proposal for having too high a price and conditions so strict that it was unlikely to be triggered.
However, the Dutch cap would not directly intervene in the EU's exchange-traded gas markets, which some pro-cap countries say they want. The Commission had proposed capping trades on the Dutch Title Transfer Facility (TTF) gas hub's front-month contract.
The Netherlands' proposal said the cap could be enforced either by the EU refusing to approve state aid support for gas buying schemes if prices are above the cap, or by countries reporting to the EU their government-backed gas buying and prices each month.
EU gas prices surged after Russia cut deliveries following its February invasion of Ukraine, but prices peaked in August, coinciding with Russia taking the Nord Stream 1 pipeline offline and a drive among EU countries to fill up storage ahead of winter.

The Dichotomy of Leadership by Jocko Willink and Leif Babib.
4 Laws of Leadership:
1. Cover and Move
2. Keep it Simple
3. Prioritize and Execute
4. Decentralize Leadership
Having talked to some of the Navy Seals and having a mentor who told me about the intense training the Seals go through, I thought it’d be interesting to learn about their thoughts on leadership.
Leadership can be transitioned to so many areas in our lives. Leader of your family. Leader in the classroom. Leader of an organization. Leader of your team. Whatever it may be, after reading this book, there is no doubt that these 4 laws can be applied across the board.
Always work as a team, don’t make things complex, learn what takes priority, and use your power to share it and build others instead. Hope you all could take something away from it and I wish you all nothing, but the best.

A ready medical force prioritized to enhance a medically ready force...in support Naval Hospital Bremerton's (NHB) transition to the Defense Health Agency Oct. 1, 2019, Navy Medicine is establishing a co-located Navy Medicine Readiness and Training Command (NMRTC) at NHB. Navy Medicine, through the NMRTC, retains command and control of the uniformed medical force, and maintains responsibility and authority for operational readiness. This includes the medical readiness of Sailors and Marines, as well as the clinical readiness of the medical force. The NMRTC will improve the ability of NHB to meet the needs of operational commanders. Survivability of Navy and Marine Corps personnel in the future warfighting environment requires a medical force that’s ready to immediately deploy and save lives. Such vital training as Tactical Combat Casualty Care training will provide Sailors - as well as Marines - with the necessary techniques, abilities and knowledge to provide emergency medical support and evacuation during a simulated combat environment. Whether taught on ship or shore, NHB instructors will continue to demand rapid response, prompt assessments, and precise applications from enrolled students. While DHA will be responsible for health care delivery and business operations, Navy Medicine will retain principal responsibility for operational readiness of the medical force (Official Navy photo by Douglas H Stutz, Naval Hospital Bremerton public affairs officer).

When the Wheatcroft family first came to SLS, they shared with us a desire to craft a home that maintained continuity with the land and preserved the beauty of their property. They also prioritized shaping their living space in a way that naturally kept their family together.
The original home, a three bedroom ranch with attached two car garage, accommodated their growing family at first; but as the kids grew, so did Mom and Dad’s desire for a little more space.
Together, we identified solutions and a plan. A great room connecting a modern, gourmet kitchen with the other living space created a way for the family to stay connected, play, and study while relaxing in a warm, open room.
We accommodated Mom and Dad’s desire for a sanctuary set apart from the activity of the household by adding a spacious master suite with a tile shower and large soaking tub.
SLS expanded the garage and used the space above it to add a third bedroom and a game room that already accommodates the pool table and will soon have a home theater. The garage now stores three cars and doubles as a usable work space for Dad’s hobbies.
Working together, SLS and the Wheatcroft family created a home that meets the family’s goals of increased space for everyone, an open floor plan that encourages family togetherness, and a design that fits in with the landscape.

Possible research questions and answers based on NASA's Total Rainfall map.
1. Can most developed countries of the world affect total global rainfall due to increased emissions?
Yes. While developing countries strive for technological advancements and generally do not prioritize environmental concerns, developed countries already produce greenhouse gas emissions at seven times the rate of developing countries. A developed country in general have higher income per capita than developing countries. This means urbanization and population growth are major contributing factors to the rise of greenhouse gas emissions. Moreover, countries on the verge of being considered a developed nation such as China is already dealing with environmental issues due to its rapid pace of urbanization. Some have estimated China will overtake the United States as the biggest producer of greenhouse gases. Environmental concerns such as prolonged heat waves, floods, and storms can contribute to the overall fluctuation of global rainfall.

2. Why does precipitation tend to develop in the middle of the ocean away from landmasses?
The ocean plays an important role in weather patterns. Warmness of ocean waters provide fuel for storm systems to develop. Liquid water produced by rainfall are essentially freshwater, which is used for human consumption. Once water reaches land, the chances of being recycled back into the hydrogen cycle significantly decreases. Conversely, colder ocean currents make it tougher for cloud formations. Weather conditions such as storms typically develop in tropical climate, where humidity and heat help contribute to the formation of rainfall. For instance, some storms in the Atlantic Ocean originate in west Africa near the tropics. Principles of convection and Corliolis effect will force rainfall further north, developing some of the storms and hurricanes experienced in the Caribbean or in the Gulf of Mexico region during the summer months.

3. If polar regions start receiving more rainfall, will it affect the tilt of the earth’s axis?
The earth’s axis is measured daily by scientists to a high degree of precision and has remained in the vicinity of 23 degrees. While axial tilt may affect climate changes, it is very unlikely climate change itself can affect the Earth’s axis. Any changes in the earth’s tilt are measured by matters of nano degrees and generally imperceptible. Nevertheless, small variations in the 23-degree tilt can still affect the lengths of our weather seasons.
