Extinction Rebellion

Extinction Rebellion is an international movement that uses non-violent civil disobedience in an attempt to halt mass extinction and minimise the risk of social collapse.

It is a movement made up of people from all walks of life. It started in response to the IPCC report that we only have 12 years to stop catastrophic climate change and our understanding that we have entered the 6th mass extinction event.

It started small and was launched in the UK on October 31st 2018, it has grown very quickly and there are now about 130 Extinction Rebellion groups across the UK and across the world.

The majority of people who work for Extinction Rebellion are volunteers; a small percentage is receiving living expenses.

Decisions are made based on a model of organising called a “self-organising system” in which people do what they can according to the skills and time they can off

What is Soil Organic Carbon?
-Soil organic carbon (SOC) is the carbon associated with soil organic matter
- SOM comprises the remains of plants and animals in the soil at various stages of decomposition, along with the microbial biomass and several by-products of complex biotic metabolic processes.

FRONTIERS REPORT

• The UN Environment Programme has launched its latest Frontiers report 2018/19, which explores five of the most significant emerging issues on the environment.

Rotterdam Convention on the Prior Informed Consent Procedure (PIC) for Certain Hazardous Chemicals and Pesticides in International Trade

• It was adopted in September 1998 and entered into force in 2004.

• It’s jointly administered by the United Nation &Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and UN Environment (UNEP).

The UN-REDD Programme is the United Nations Collaborative Programme on Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD+) in developing countries

. It is aimed at reducing forest emissions and enhancing carbon stocks in forests while contributing to national sustainable development.
Support to partner countries is delivered through:

● Direct support to the design and implementation of National REDD+ Programmes;
● Complementary tailored support to national REDD+ actions;
● Technical capacity building support through sharing of expertise, common approaches, analyses, methodologies, tools, data, best practices and facilitated South-South knowledge sharing.

Bioventing is a process of stimulating the natural in situ biodegradation of contaminants
in soil by providing air or oxygen to existing soil microorganisms.
Bioventing uses low air flow rates to provide only enough oxygen to sustain microbial activity in the vadose zone

Biosparging is an in-situ remediation technology that uses indigenous microorganisms to
biodegrade organic constituents in the saturated zone. In biosparging, air (or oxygen) and nutrients (if needed) are injected into the saturated zone to increase the biological activity of the
indigenous microorganisms.

Bioaugmentation is the practice of adding cultured microorganisms into the subsurface for the purpose of biodegrading specific soil and groundwater contaminants.

Carbon Pricing Leadership Coalition (CPLC), is a voluntary partnership launched by World Bank of national and sub-national governments, businesses, and civil society organizations that agree to expand the use of effective carbon pricing policies that can maintain competitiveness, create jobs, encourage innovation, and deliver
meaningful emissions reductions.

Launched in 2015 at COP21 in Paris,


The CPLC Secretariat administered by the World Bank Group.


From India, Delhi Metro Rail Corporation andlndian Railways are the government level partners

Sustainable Development Mechanism (SDM)

Article 6 of the Paris Agreement established the Sustainable Development Mechanism (SDM) as a new carbon market instrument for the period after 2020.

Its purpose is inter alia to replace the existing mechanisms under the Kyoto Protocol, the Clean Development Mechanism with a more effective climate tool.

Honolulu Strategy

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in the United States and UNEP created the Honolulu Strategy—a planning tool to reduce plastic pollution and its impacts.

Pollution and Health Metrics: Global, Regional and Country Analysis report

the Global Alliance on Health and Pollution (GAHP)

Provides a ranking of pollution deaths on global, regional and country levels.

Wise Use

Ramsar Convention defines the ‘wise use’ of wetlands as “the maintenance of their ecological character, achieved through the implementation of ecosystem approaches, within the context of sustainable development”

Chinkara gazelles survives in the dry habitats and does not require much water for their
survival.



• IUCN Status: Least Concern

Chinkara Wildlife Sanctuary
- Karnataka’s State Board for Wild Life has notified Bukkapatna Chinkara Wildlife sanctuary in Tamakuru District.

GBIF—the Global Biodiversity Information Facility—is an international network and research infrastructure funded by the world's governments and aimed at providing anyone, anywhere, open access to data about all types of life on Earth.

Coordinated through its Secretariat in Copenhagen, the GBIF network of participating countries and organizations, working through participant nodes, provides data-holding institutions around the world with common standards and open-source tools that enable them to share information about where and when species have been recorded.

Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES) Agreement
• It involves payments to the managers of land or other natural resources in exchange for the
provision of specified ecosystem services over-and-above what would otherwise be provided in the absence of payment
