The African mountains stand out as areas with favourable climatic and ecological conditions, in contrast to the surrounding lowlands that are generally much drier. As a consequence of this, the total average population density in all African mountains is more than double the density of the lowlands. The driving economic forces now have better knowledge about and access to the rich natural resources in the mountains, including hydropower, minerals, timber and agricultural soils.
In Uganda, participants have visited Mount Elgon and communities on its slopes to observe emerging micro-climate changes, their causes and effects so to discuss coping mechanisms and suitable adaptation strategies.

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
Permaculture comes with beekeeping here too (right side of this image). You can see the apartment blocks in the background. It is across the street from the congress center in the other direction. Literally in the middle of town... and yet they are an example of sustainable living and thinking. With the world population converging on cities more and more, it is essential, in my opinion to try living sustainably. (More about this event and their group later in a flickr set with more images). Oh, and the home grown food was delicious. / This is an example of how sustainable development can be implemented in an urban context too.

UNEP is working with local partners to conserve and restore mangrove forests and related coastal ecosystems, while promoting sustainable management of coastal resources. Mangroves contribute to coastal resilience by protecting against storm surges and acting as nurseries for commercially important fish species.
In this Port Salut river mouth the mangroves have been cut down for charcoal. As part of UNEP's Disaster Risk Reduction programmes, replanting of mangroves is ongoing in the South Department to protect the coastline.

Plants de mangroves, Port Salut, Département du Sud, Haïti
Le PNUE travaille avec des partenaires locaux pour conserver et restaurer les forêts de mangroves, et les écosystèmes côtiers qui y sont liés, tout en prônant la gestion durable des ressources du littoral. Les mangroves contribuent en effet à la résilience de la côte en assurant la protection contre les tempêtes et en offrant un abris aux espèces de poisson, si cruciales pour le commerce.
Dans cette embouchure de fleuve à Port Salut, les mangroves avaient été coupées pour obtenir du bois de chauffage. Dans le cadre de son programme de réduction des risques de catastrophes, le PNUE effectue actuellement des opérations de plantation de mangroves afin de protéger le littoral du Département du Sud.

Sand dams provide a year-round source of water so people do not have to spend long hours during the drought season collecting water from far away. The water is much cleaner, having been filtered through the sand and protected from parasites, so children are less likely to get ill. Instances of typhoid and diarrhoea are virtually eliminated.

This used to be a former port and industrial area of Malmo which has been redeveloped into a new urban quarter. It provides a model for sustainable urban development where 100% of its energy comes from locally produced renewable sources, namely wind turbines and solar panels.

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
