Can we dream for sustainable cities in Pakistan? Sustainable cities and towns are no longer a new concept in the world. However, in a country like Pakistan, they are something new -- a hard but not impossible goal.



A number of cities around the world are taking measures to make their cities sustainable. By simple way of definition, a sustainable city would be a city which can generate sufficient revenue to provide basic health care and other socio-economic facilities to its…

Marine debris is one of the greatest threats to Australia’s unique marine ecosystems. Wildlife entanglement, drowning and increased pollution in the marine food chain, are just some of the growing challenges currently faced. In fact, plastic, glass, fishing nets and other debris affects more than 270 species of animals worldwide, yet little is known about the full impact of marine debris on wildlife. An increasing issue is floods, which are washing even larger amounts of debris into our…

As we reflect on 2011, a year of extreme weather all over the world, my thoughts have turned back to a very strange summer I experienced not long ago.



That summer, I met a government employee who was working in his office and received a frantic call from his wife. "The flood water is coming," she said.



At first, he didn't take much notice. Occasional floods are normal in our part of…

This is a good read.

Dr James Hansen provided this witness statement in support of an application to reveal the name of the seed funder of the Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF) in the UK.  I have reproduced it in full, having previously been given permission by Dr Hansen to use his work to better inform the public by the most effective means.  To access the original article (with diagram), follow this link: …

This is a very interesting article that points out the connection between consumption, economic growth, environmental destruction and resource depletion.

I’m very excited about all the talk these days pertaining to the idea of contracting (de-growing) the economy and then reestablishing a steady state economy (no growth). 

Most people don’t even know that a continuously expanding economy has only been around for the past seven generations.  During the vast majority of the time…

The NSW Draft planning regulations on wind farms was released on Friday December 23: on the very last working day before Christmas. You don't need to be a cynic to understand the Barrie O'Farrell conservative Government…

BULAWAYO, Zimbabwe, Dec 20, 2011 (IPS) - Duduzile Sibanda takes a break from preparing her long stretch of land for her maize crop in rural Mberengwa, in Zimbabwe’s…

"The paleoclimate record reveals a more sensitive climate than thought, even as of a few years ago. Limiting human-caused warming to 2 degrees is not sufficient," said NASA climatologist James Hansen at the American Geophysical Union meeting on December 6 2011, "It would be a prescription for disaster."

In a press conference at the American Geophysical Union Fall meeting 2011 in San Fransisco climate scientists James Hansen, Ken Caldeira and Eelco Rohling explained…

Alice Harrison, Communications Coordinator for TI’s Climate Governance Integrity Programme, reports from South Africa as the 2011 climate conference reaches its conclusion.

As the sun rose on South Africa yesterday a burst of applause sounded from Durban’s conference hall as UN negotiators commended themselves for reaching an “historic agreement” on climate change.

“We have worked together to save tomorrow today,” declared the…

“We’re back!”

These famous words by the US negotiator a few years ago, shortly after the election of Obama, had a less than positive tone for me this morning walking into the International Conference Centre, venue of this year’s UN Climate Summit.

After four intercessionals (negotiating…

One World TV interviewed Sione Taulo Fulivai from the small Pacific Island state of Tonga on the last day of the UN climate negotiations at COP17 in Durban. Small Island states face rising atmospheric and sea surface temperatures, rising sea levels spoiling freshwater reservoirs and agriculture and threatening to innundate their land, and changing rainfall pattens. They are on the frontline of global warming.

Tonga is a nation of 100,000 people with a GDP per capita of US$3711. Tonga…

The Clean Energy Council of Australia announced at the climate negotiations in Durban that 9.6% of Australia's power now came from renewable sources: solar photovoltaic, wind, and large scale hydro-electric. More than half a million household solar power systems were now installed on Australian rooftops – around 35 times the amount just three years ago at the end…

This year’s UN climate negotiations in Durban are now entering the final stages. Heads of State and Ministers are giving short sharp speeches. Ambassadors and senior diplomats are discussing bottom lines and compromises. Environment groups are following the twists and turns, planning their next moves.

Against the backdrop of the current food crisis in East…

Surf coast residents in Victoria may be drawing some of their electricity from the ocean waves that come crashing onto the beaches in the not too distant future. The Victorian state Government has awarded Ocean energy company, BioPower Systems (BPS) $5 million of funding under the Sustainable Energy Pilot Demonstration Program to establish a $14 million pilot demonstration of the company’s 250kW bioWAVE ocean wave energy system at a grid-connected site near Port Fairy, Victoria.…
