learned a lot about how knowledge extraction works in the context of promises made by techocratic exercises. written an article how current imagined promises fall in line with similar earlier technocratic exercises yet failing everytime. a specific context of how one of the technology stacks out of many erected by Public Private Partnership in India... the AgriStack, in relation to what Farmers have been promises in a complex network of credit, minimum support price, crop insurance, decisions, authorities and algorithms involved in it and how they reflect the social.

In "Forecasting National CO2 Emissions Worldwide", published in Scientific Reports, Lorenzo Costantini, Francesco Laio, Manuel Sebastian Mariani, Luca Ridolfi, and Carla Sciarra address the urgent need to predict future CO2 emissions accurately. Their analysis uses two models: a multivariate regression and a Random Forest Regressor (RFR), which capture emissions across 117 countries using 12 socioeconomic indicators. The models reveal economic complexity, energy use, and urbanisation as critical factors in future emissions trends. The RFR model offers more reliability by accounting for the non-linear nature of global emissions patterns, projecting rising emissions in developing economies and slight reductions in developed ones by 2035. This prompts us to think beyond the technical findings and reflect on the deeper, systemic forces at play. The projection that developed countries will reduce emissions by 6.2%, while developing economies increase theirs by 19%, reflects a much deeper ethical dilemma. Developed nations, having contributed the bulk of historical emissions and now benefitting from more advanced economies, have the capacity to invest in green technologies. In contrast, developing nations face a dual challenge: the need to industrialise to alleviate poverty, alongside the increasing pressure to curb emissions. This brings the concept of a just transition to the fore—one that balances the imperative of economic development with the urgent need for sustainability. Addressing this global imbalance requires more than technical fixes. The systems driving emissions—economic growth, resource access, and entrenched fossil fuel industries—are complex and deeply interconnected. Real progress will emerge only when these systems are restructured to align with ecological limits, while acknowledging the differing capacities of nations. Renewable energy offers hope, but without rethinking the models of development, particularly for those economies facing the growth versus sustainability dilemma, the full potential for equitable progress will remain unrealised. Leadership in this space demands policies and innovations that recognise historical inequities and promote both environmental and social justice for future generations. #CO2Forecasting #ClimateAction #Sustainability #GreenEconomy #SystemsChange #ClimateLeadership #RenewableEnergy #EconomicComplexity #GlobalInequality #JustTransition

18th EWA Brussels Conference The first session of the conference, centered on Climate Emergency, has concluded with a compelling round table discussion on the future of the water sector with Veronica Manfredi Pietro Francesco De Lotto, Tania Pentcheva and Wendy Francken. Moderated by EWA Secretary General Arthur G. Here are some key takeaways from this passionate exchange: 💧Raising awareness is crucial for becoming water resilient 💧Aging infrastructures need to be updated—this challenge - also presents an opportunity to create better, smarter systems. 💧Wastewater is a valuable resource, not waste. 💧We have the solutions; it’s time to act and implement them. 💧Solidarity and cooperation, especially in data sharing, are essential. 💧A long-term strategy with forward-thinking vision is vital for sustainable progress. 💧Europe stands at a pivotal crossroads—the time to act is now. Let’s unite and take action because the moment to shape our water future is here💪💧 #water #waterinfrastructure #sdg6 #waterresilience #bluedeal #UWWTD #WFD

🌍 How is Italy unlocking sustainable progress through data-driven insights? 🤔 Sustainability MDPI Idiano D'Adamo The video explores how Italy is using multicriteria analysis and clustering techniques to assess the economic, environmental and social performance of its regions. By analyzing over 200 indicators related to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Equitable and Sustainable Wellbeing (BES) framework, the study provides data-driven insights into which territories are leading the way in achieving sustainable progress. 📈 The analysis reveals that at the SDG level, Lombardia exhibited the highest performance, while the provinces of Trento and Bolzano led at the BES level. The results were further analyzed by geographic macro-areas and the three dimensions of sustainability through separate cluster analyses. 🏆 This data-driven approach allows Italy to identify the strengths and weaknesses across its regions, informing policies and strategies to drive more equitable and sustainable development. 🏆 🔍 Discover the secrets to Italy's sustainable success by watching the full video: https://lnkd.in/gK8PNTkw #SustainableDevelopment #RegionalPerformance #MulticriteriaAnalysis #EconomicGrowth #EnvironmentalProtection #SocialProgress 💡 Are you interested in applying for our free video production service to showcase your own research in this area?

VT0007 Unplanned Deforestation Allocation (UDef-A) is a decent baseline forest risk modeling approach but I don't understand why Verra isn't pushing for something...better. Modeling forest loss solely as a function of distance from forest edge is overly simplistic and ignores a mountain of evidence that suggests covariates such as proximity to transportation networks. The justification seems to be that such data products aren't readily available everywhere... which seems like a very half baked excuse. Take an area with a lot of waterways in the middle of a sub-jurisdiction that experiences a lot of deforestation and that is nested in an jurisdiction with a lot of deforestation. The risk mapping tool will allocate a lot of forest risk in these areas even though they probably aren't near as at risk as areas near roads (a result that is well demonstrated in the forest risk modeling literature). Developers will can draw boundaries to maximize credit issuance even if the area is at low risk. Don't get me wrong, the UDef-A tool is much, much better than the older risk mapping tool which was junk. Given the number of non-additional credits Verra is producing, they should be aiming higher than "ok".

⏮In the previous month, the Universwater project initiated its digital kick-off meeting, bringing together a remarkable consortium of 15 partners from 6 European countries. 🎯The project aims to tackle the pressing issue of #waterquality and quantity, addressing challenges posed by agricultural activities and climate change. 🔎UNIVERSWATER adopts a ‘system of systems’ approach, developing and enhancing technologies to optimize water resource use. In particular, the project intends to: ✅Develop innovative sensors for various pollutants. ✅Integrate these sensors with earth observation imaging and AI. ✅Create sustainable, nature-based, and technology-based water remediation methods. ✅Promote these methods through pricing incentives. 🛠️ These technologies will be part of decision support systems (DSSs) tested in case studies focused on dairy water treatment, soil salination mitigation, and fertilizer/pesticide optimization. The goal is to upscale local DSSs into a universal, adaptable platform. 📍In two weeks the partners will meet in-person at the Tyndall National Institute, Cork, Ireland to get to know each other and enjoy a visit to the Irish demo site.
