On World Environment Day locals gather on a wintery Monday morning to tell Josh Frydenberg that they want Australia to move rapidly to solar, wind and storage and actually reduce our emissions, not just see the Paris Agreement as some kind of diplomacy bargaining chip.
The CEFC Board is up for renewal, and Finkel seems likely to only deliver a gas promoting LET not a real transition. With continued posturing on the "gas crisis" (when there is a global gas glut) and "clean coal", constituents are not happy with public funding being diverted from clean energy back to coal and gas. As Australia's emissions continue to climb its a big FAIL on #WorldEnvironmentDay
Josh Frydenberg needs to step up and stop the Adani Carmichael coal mine from being developed as it is inconsistent with Australia's ratification and commitments under the 2015 Paris Agreement to keep temperatures well below 2C temperature target. 95 per cent of Australia's coal must remain unexploited to be consistent with limiting temperatures to 2C according to a 2015 peer reviewed study by Ekins and McGlade
If all of the Galilee Basin coal was burned, it is estimated that 705 million tonnes of carbon dioxide would be released each year – more than 1.3 times Australia’s current annual emissions. If all Galilee coal mines go ahead = 705 MT CO2/year or 1.96% of current annual global emissions of 36Gt CO2. Reminder on the science re Galilee Basin coal from climate scientist Will Steffen from September 2015 (PDF). Or read the more recent Climate Council report (May 2017) Risky Business: Health, Climate and Economic Risks of the Carmichael Coalmine

O Dia Mundial do Ambiente é celebrado anualmente no dia de hoje, a 5 de junho, que tem como objectivo advertir a população para a necessidade de salvar o ambiente e assinalar a prática de boas acções para a conservação da terra.
E hoje tivemos o avistamento de Botos (Phocoena phocoena). Uma espécie considerada vulnerável. E para celebrar este dia partilhamos uma fotografia de hoje para alertar a necessidade da protecção acrescida desta espécie.
Os Botos são a espécie mais pequena de cetáceo que podemos ver em Sagres e normalmente são avistados perto da costa.
Bom domingo solarengo em defesa do Ambiente.

Una semana de eventos culturales, deportivos, demostraciones artísticas y compromisos políticos de primer nivel fueron los protagonistas de la celebración del Día Mundial del Medio Ambiente de 2014, cuyo anfitrión fue la isla caribeña de Barbados.
El lema de esta celebración anual fue "Elevemos nuestra voz, no el nivel del mar" y se enfocó en el liderazgo de los pequeños estados insulares en desarrollo, como Barbados y, a su vez, buscó apuntar el foco en los retos que enfrentan este tipo de islas a diario.
El PNUMA también oficializó la designación del actor y ambientalista Ian Somerhalder como el nuevo embajador de buena voluntad.

our river clean.

2 June 2013. Abu Shouk: (Left to right) United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) officer, Ahmed Maniese, and technicians Saleem Abdulaziz, Alamin Adam and Ibrahim Youssif Adam, all staff members of the Groundwater and Wadis Directorate in the Sudanese Ministry of Irrigation and working for the Integrate Water Resources Management, monitor the level of water in a water pump in Abu Shouk camp for Internally Displaced Persons (IDP), North Darfur.
Abu Shouk is one of the main priorities in North Darfur to implement projects on water due to the difficult terrain to find and keep the water and due to the big number of IDPs (more than 50,000) who use the water for domestic purposes and economical activities (like bricks fabrication).
The average of water consumption in the IDP camps in North Darfur is around ten liters per person a day.
Disputes over scarce water resources have been cited regularly as one of the root causes of the conflict in Darfur.
5 May is the World Environment Day.

(for sustainable landscape theme): Soil and water conservation activities performed by Community Managed Disaster Risk Reduction (CMDRR) Committee members in Wayber Kebele, Meta Woreda have the purpose to conserve their mountainous topographic environment. These conservation activities will be accompanied by tree planting or direct tree-seed sawing and increase community resilience towards climate related shocks. Protected and productive natural resources will make communities more resilient to climate related shocks. The photo was taken by CRS REAAP staff during field monitoring visit in April 2016 in Oromia Regional State of Western Hararghe. REAAP Implementer and partners are: Catholic Relief Services (CRS), Ethiopian Catholic Church Social Development Coordination Office of Harar (ECC-SDCOH), Handicap International (HI) and Catholic Organization for Relief and Development Aid (Cordaid).
