Accessibility is a barrier free accessible environment allows for free and safe movement, function and access for all, regardless of age, sex or condition. It is a space or a set of services that can be accessed by all, without obstacles, with dignity and with as much autonomy as possible . A barrier free environment does not just refer to making a building accessible with a ramp; it includes making the whole area including buildings, pathways, transport, services and facilities easily accessible by all people. A barrier free environment does not only involve making changes to the built environment but also involves a change in attitude by community members so they accept all people have the right to move about freely. This means people with disabilities should feel welcomed by all members of the community.

United Nations, Praia, June 16 - The assessment of climate risks in the document of the Growth and Poverty Reduction Strategic Paper (GPRSP-II) was the topic of a seminar held in the City of Praia on June 14th and 15th.
With the aim to provide to Cape Verdean institutions a space for discussion and understanding of climate change, enabling them to integrate climate change considerations in the national development plans. The meeting brought together technicians and specialists in environment and planning, and discussed topics such as the Climate of Cape Verde and its Climate Projections, the Concepts of Climate Change, the Project of Climate Risks, among others. Also were presented the results of the assessment of climate risks in the GPRSP-II, after which was followed by a discussion that brought questions to consider about the impact of climate change in the selected sectors in the GPRSP-II.
According to the document produced by the UNDP and the Spanish Cooperation, the climate change imposes serious risks to the attainment of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). However, the development planning rarely considers the risks associated with climate change, including variability.
The document also reveals that the known impacts of climate change, especially changes in temperature, rainfall, and increased soil salinity, could compromise the sustainability of development projects, that enable for example, assistance to disadvantaged rural population through investments in new sources of water for agriculture. The non-assimilation of impact risks of climate change on human development may reduce the prospects of the poor, which totalize 40% of the world population.
The opportunities presented today are extremely important and once harnessed can make a big difference. For example, the work of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) on governance can strengthen the capacity of national institutions to work effectively with a wide range of partners. In this way, increasing the efficiency of cooperation, therefore strengthening the resilience to risks of climate change.
The UNDP has made climate change a priority for the institution. This is reflected in the UNDP Strategic Plan 2008 – 2011, where the Fourth Strategic Priority of its plan aims to "integrate climate change into UN development assistance at the national, regional and global levels."
Still, according to the same document, the UNDP's Energy & Environment Group, developed a US$ 1.2 million project funded by the Government of Spain, entitled as "Integrating Climate Change Risks into National Development Processes and UN Country Programming". The project will be implemented in collaboration with the UNDP's Bureau for Crisis Prevention and Recovery (BCPR), and the UNEP-Risoe, Centre on Energy, Climate and Sustainable Development. The project aims to strengthen the national capacity to face climate change through a long-term planning and development of adaptation strategies.
The five countries participating in the project are Cape Verde, Malawi, Colombia, El Salvador and Nicaragua. Through this project, these countries will make efforts in order to protect its development activities against future risks and vulnerabilities of climate change.

The goal of integration should be to make the environment easy to use by offering the highest possible level of synergy between the elements that constitute the environment.

The UNEP’s mission statement is, “To provide leadership and encourage partnership in caring for the environment by inspiring, informing, and enabling nations and peoples to improve their quality of life without compromising that of future generations.”
Gisele, Don Cheadle, and Loyal Studios are focused on putting the word out on the importance of caring about what we use our Earth for, while working in conjunction with our natural ecosystems to create a sustainable green economy.

A very simple basic play gym, using one toy in a time. Close enough for our son to grasp it. Actually, this is the very first time he managed to touch the frog, which surprisingly he learned to love so much. About 2 weeks later, when he became pretty good in deliberately touching this frog, I changed it for a ring (3" diameter), hang on the elastic, so that my son could learn to grasp it and pull it to his mouth.

The planet is scattered with hazardous or explosive leftovers from a succession of technical breakthroughs – be they military or industrial – just waiting to be washed away by a flood or mudslide or carried off by a hurricane. If disaster strikes these “powder kegs” multiply the danger to people and the environment (posing a particularly acute threat to already scarce water resources).

Coal power plants are the major sources of CO2 emissions. One way to reduce the pollutant emissions is to burn the coal particles in oxyfuel environment rather than plain air condition. In the oxyfuel environment, N2 in the air is replaced by the CO2 to control the combustion process and that eliminates NOx emissions. The burned product mostly contains CO2, which can be separated and compressed into liquid form for easy transportation. The goal of our project is to investigate the pulverized coal combustion in oxyfuel environment under well defined boundary conditions. We have fabricated an open type swirl stabilized burner and carried out experiments in a controlled environment. The images are showing the coal particles burning in the O2/CO2 environment supported by the pilot methane-air flame, which appears as blue in color. The pilot flame is a swirl stabilized flame anchored on top of the burner and heats the coal particles in order to ignite them. Laser diagnostic techniques have been applied to measure the flow and scalar parameters of coal particle combustion. The photos are taken with Fujifilm FinePix HS10 and no image processing is applied. Our group members: Saravanan Balusamy, Ruigang Zhou, Alexander Schmidt.
