Zambia country profile
Zambia is one of the nine pilot countries for the UN-REDD programme and is currently at the first phase of readiness for REDD+ under the UN-REDD quick start initiative. A National Joint Programme (NJP) is tasked with developing a national REDD+ strategy. Outcome 5 of the NJP Programme Document is to strengthen the Monitoring Reporting and Verification (MRV) capacity for REDD+ in Zambia. A reliable system of Monitoring Reporting and Verification (MRV) is of critical importance to the effectiveness of REDD+.
Capacity development in national forest monitoring
The development of a system for forest monitoring and measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) is an on-going priority and challenge for REDD+ countries. Although many countries already have some form of national forest monitoring in place, the existing capacity often falls short of the level required to participate fully in REDD+. In this context, a group of experts from around the world met in September 2012 to share their experiences and to discuss some of the central and at times controversial issues for national forest monitoring readiness and REDD+.
Quality Aspects in Spatial Data Mining
Describes the State-of-the-Art in Spatial Data Mining, Focuses on Data Quality Substantial progress has been made toward developing effective techniques for spatial information processing in recent years. This science deals with models of reality in a GIS, however, and not with reality itself. Therefore, spatial information processes are often imprecise, allowing for much interpretation of abstract figures and data. Quality Aspects in Spatial Data Mining introduces practical and theoretical solutions for making sense of the often chaotic and overwhelming amount of concrete data available to researchers. In this cohesive collection of peer-reviewed chapters, field authorities present the late...
Higher Education - Reflections From the Field - Volume 4
COVID wrought havoc on the world’s economic systems. Higher education did not escape the ravages brought on by the pandemic as institutions of higher education around the world faced major upheavals in their educational delivery systems. Some institutions were prepared for the required transition to online learning. Most were not. Whether prepared or not, educators rose to the challenge. The innovativeness of educators met the challenges as digital learning replaced the face-to-face environment. In fact, some of the distance models proved so engaging that many students no longer desire a return to the face-to-face model. As with all transitions, some things were lost while others were gain...
New Geospatial Approaches to the Anthropological Sciences
Spatial analysis reaches across all the subdisciplines of anthropology. A cultural anthropologist, for example, can use such analysis to trace the extent of distinctive cultural practices; an archaeologist can use it to understand the organization of ancient irrigation systems; a primatologist to quantify the density of primate nesting sites; a paleoanthropologist to explore vast fossil-bearing landscapes. Arguing that geospatial analysis holds great promise for much anthropological inquiry, the contributors have designed this volume to show how the powerful tools of GIScience can be used to benefit a variety of research programs. This volume brings together scholars who are currently applying state-of-the-art tools, techniques, and methods of geographical information sciences (GIScience) to diverse data sets of anthropological interest. Their questions crosscut the typical “silos” that so often limit scholarly communication among anthropologists and instead recognize a deep structural similarity between the kinds of questions anthropologists ask, the data they collect, and the analytical models and paradigms they each use.
Discovering Political Ecology
Political ecology is one of the most vibrant fields of environmental research. This book introduces political ecology to a new generation of students in a daring new way: as an interdisciplinary approach to environmental research but also as a series of lived realities and a praxis for change. The origins of political ecology are often traced through an Anglo-American canon. In Discovering Political Ecology, Gustav Cederlöf and Alex Loftus instead take up the challenge of presenting the key conversations and the diverse traditions that have shaped this field with attention to its extensive international roots. Inspired by voices and research in Asia, Africa, Europe and the Americas, the aut...
The Emissions Gap Report 2015
The UN Environment Emissions Gap Report assesses the latest scientific studies on current and estimated future greenhouse gas emissions and compares these with the emission levels permissible for the world to progress on a least-cost pathway to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement. This difference between where we are likely to be and where we need to be is known as the emissions gap. The report explores some of the most important options available for countries to bridge the gap.
Khutbah Jumat Dan Penyempurnaan Akhlak
Buku kumpulan khutbah Jum’at ini terdiri atas tiga tema, yaitu berkaitan dengan akhlak dan keselamatan berlalu-lintas, adab dalam mengelola sampah, dan sikap memuliakan petani. Ketiga tema tersebut dipilih berdasarkan hasil pengawasan maupun serap aspirasi masyarakat yang menemukan bahwa permasalahan tersebut dihadapi dan menjadi tantangan yang berat sehingga harus dicari solusinya. Diharapkan muncul kesadaran dan panggilan dari para khatib, dai/pendakwah, akademisi, praktisi, mahasiswa, para santri, dan masyarakat umum untuk berpartisipasi mengamalkan materi khutbah sesuai tema dimaksud. Selanjutnya, naskah khutbah ini dapat menjadi materi khutbah yang disampaikan di berbagai masjid dan kalangan masyarakat, sehingga pesan-pesan berkaitan dengan keselamatan berlalu-lintas, adab membuang sampah, dan sikap memuliakan petani dapat tersampaikan dan dipahami. Selanjutnya, dapat muncul kesadaran dan sikap-sikap perilaku dari para jamaah (ummat) sehingga persoalan terkait hal tersebut dapat diatasi.
