IMO Secretary-General Kitack Lim has highlighted the Organization’s strong commitment to helping achieve the UN SustainableDevelopment Goals and explained how shipping and ports can play a significant role in helping to create conditions for increased employment, prosperity and stability through the promotion of maritime trade. Mr. Lim was speaking at a seminar as part of celebrations in Veracruz, Mexico (21-22 August) focused on IMO’s World Maritime Day theme for 2017 –"Connecting Ships, Ports and People".
The Secretary-General also discussed IMO measures to reduce harmful emissions from ships, the management of ballast water and goal-based standards. He was hosted by the Secretary of the Navy (SEMAR), Admiral Commander in Chief Vidal Francisco Soberón Sanz, who introduced the strategy and capabilities of the Mexican Maritime Authority.
The seminar was attended by the maritime authorities of Argentina, Chile, Panama and the United States, as well as representatives from the Tokyo Memorandum of Understanding on Port State Control, World Maritime University (WMU) in Sweden, the IMO International Maritime Law Institute (IMLI) in Malta, and various national government ministries.
The celebrations also included an opportunity for participants to observe a search and rescue exercise and to visit Mexico’s Naval Academy.
The cost of disasters were summed up last night in dollars lost, people displaced, lives lost as one would expect at a meeting hosted by Columbia University with the theme "From Sendai to Rio -- Cultivating a Disaster-Resilient Society for Sustainable Development."
However, what also shone through in this major debate on the theme of disaster risk reduction in advance of the Rio+20 conference, were the unexpected ways in which disasters can affect our lives driven by new forces which Dr. Jeffrey Sachs, Director of the Earth Institute, said "we are not ready for."

Worker in the Aberdare Mountains. As the farmland is located on a hillside, it is susceptible to erosion during heavy rains. This farm collaborated with F3 Life, an eco-credit company, implementing climate-smart practices (e.g. establishing contour barriers) to minimize erosion in exchange for loans with preferred interest rates.

Different Cities and Different Types of Smog
Not all smog is created equal. Just like any type of soup, it\'s all in what you put in it. Smog is a low-level atmospheric mixture of several different kinds of air pollution. In some areas, such as those near coal-fired power plants, the main constituents of smog are the byproducts of fossil-fuel burning such as sulfur dioxide, ground level ozone and carbon monoxide. Massive smog events can also be caused by residential coal burning, as in the case of the "Great London Smog of 1952" that killed thousands in a few weeks.
Cities that are near active volcanoes (such as Mt. Etna in Sicily and many others) are especially likely to suffer from infrequent but very traumatic smog events. In this case, though entirely natural, many of the chemical components of this "vog" are the same as what might be seen with petrochemical smog. Sulfur dioxide and very harmful, tiny, caustic particles are also a concern.
The cost of disasters were summed up last night in dollars lost, people displaced, lives lost as one would expect at a meeting hosted by Columbia University with the theme "From Sendai to Rio -- Cultivating a Disaster-Resilient Society for Sustainable Development."

Conférence "Valoriser le digestat - Intégrer l’apport des digestats dans les pratiques agricoles" par Sylvain Frédéric à Pollutec Horizons 2013, Paris Nord Villepinte, Village Biogaz.
Décembre 2013.
On Monday, after dropping my son off at the Airport in his shiny black Chevy Volt I hung out in Winthrop to avoid the morning rush traffic into Boston. I headed in around 10am to US Fed District Court to pick up a Pass for Media coverage of the same. I turned left on Farnsworth thinking it was a through street. Instead it was a dead end with RCN on the right and what? on the left. I tried both ends for another outlet out. Then turned around heading a right turn out onto Farnsworth. Whatever happened that I did not see this short pile of cones was beyond me., In a split second it seemed I was hearing sounds no one wants to hear. I backed up and knew there had been some serious damage., OMG what a shame. I think it was the sun coming over the buildings as the only shot I have here is from an hour or so later and it was still piercing down pretty bright. I saw nothing. I was so shocked and saddened. My journey into the City was so pleasant driving slowly from 99 to South Station. I thought that was a cool way to come in again . I had never tried that and I loved that route. Then this happened. I had fire police ambulance tow trucks and me delivered to a Body Shop in Revere I had experience with before by 3pm I was ready to bus it home. Got home at 800pm. What a day you don't want to happen. The Fire Department said this never should have been there and removed the 36inch pipe putting it against the wall. They stuffed the cones into the hole and then the police showed up. The police paid a visit to the building 46 Farnsworth and that manager came out and stated the property was owned by Boston Globe or Sustainable Development. Whoever stuffed that pipe into the hole was what I call meathead anonymous. I will forever be ungrateful for that move. Can you hear plastic crunching and metal scraping and grimy fluid draining like blood on the gound? Sad Sad Sad

The main objective of the NEWater program is to provide a sustainable water source for Singapore’s population. NEWater is high-grade reclaimed water produced from treated used water that has undergone a stringent purification and treatment process using advanced dual-membrane (microfiltration and reverse osmosis) and ultraviolet technologies. While reclaiming used water is not a new concept, what is significant is
the successful wide-scale implementation and public engagement plan of NEWater along with its participatory practices and public education programmes, which have
allowed delivery of an exponentially successful service.
