In this paper, I shared issues and insights for sustainable production of agro-commodities using sugarcane and tobacco in Uganda as a case. It was presented during the stakeholders dialogue & inception meeting on, ‘Support to communities and private sector to develop partnerships for sustainable management of natural resources, ecosystem services, chemicals and waste management, held in Gulu and Masindi. The meeting was organized by Tree Talk Plus in collaboration with the ENR-CSO Network, Environmental Alert, Ministry of water & Environment and United Nations Development Program through the framework of the Inclusive Growth for Poverty Reduction Program.

Since July 2006, UNDP/GEF-SGP has supported 75 projects in Ethiopia, out of which, 13 of them were being implemented in Dire Dawa Administration. Taking the already phased out four community projects as a reference, this study examines the socioeconomic impacts of the program in the Administration. A cross sectional survey of 160 households (80 from the project beneficiaries and 80 from non-beneficiaries) was undertaken to examine and evaluate the impacts of the program on households’ livelihood. Descriptive statistics coupled with an econometric model was used to analyze the data collected from different sources. The descriptive analysis of this study indicates that the societies are becoming better off in their livelihood due to the existence of the project despite the fact that it is associated with many challenges. Applying a propensity score matching technique, the study has figured out that the level of monthly income, asset and monthly consumption expenditure of the program beneficiaries are higher than that of non-beneficiaries. Generally, the major findings of the study showed the average effect of the program to be positive and statistically significant; suggesting that the program has achieved its stated objectives of improving the socio economic conditions of the local community and the environment. It is also suggested that the project would have the capacity to improve the livelihood of the beneficiaries further if corrective measures are taken to tackle the challenges faced by the project.

An overview of the predicted change in energy demand over time, given the projection that economic growth in the emerging and developing countries is not only overtaking growth in the industrialized countries, but that growth rates are poised to continue increasing and will make unsustainable demands on conventional energy resources, and especially fossil fuels unless drastic action, climate action in fact, is taken to address this concern. Slide presentations developed to demonstrate how Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) be used to address climate change, and why ICTs are a crucial part of the solution – i.e. in promoting efficiency, Green Growth & sustainable development, in dealing with climate change and for climate and environmental action. These slide presentations were delivered in February 2011 in Seongnam, near Seoul in Korea. These presentations were developed and delivered over 2.5 days on the occasion of a Regional Training of Trainers Workshop for upcoming Academy modules on ICT for Disaster Risk Management and Climate Change Abatement. These modules were developed as part of the Academy of ICT Essentials for Government leaders developed by the United Nations (UN) Asia Pacific Centre for ICT Training (APCICT), based in Songdo City, in the Republic of South Korea. These presentations were developed in 2011, and are somewhat out of date, but most of the principles still apply. Module 10, which has been published, does not include much of the information outlined in these presentations, which are fairly technical. They were developed to address a significant gap in understanding of the technical basis of using ICTs for climate action and because there is a clear bias in development circles against the importance of dealing with climate change mitigation in developing countries. These presentations are an attempt to redress this lack and are published here with this purpose in mind. The author, Richard Labelle, is presently working on updating these presentations to further highlight the importance of addressing climate change and the important role that technology including ICTs, play in this effort.

This presentation underscores the challenge of climate change and environmental degradation in respect to sustainable livelihoods, economic development and transformation. It underpins some actions and initiatives taken at the global and national levels to address the issues and suggests practical actions and recommendations for reflection for implementation going forward to advance climate change adaptation, environmental restoration & sustainable management.

The forest plays a major role in stabilizing increasing temperatures due to its climate mitigation capacity. This is not unconnected to the carbon storing and sequestration potentials of forests. The mangrove as one of the global forest types is said to be a major carbon store. This conclusion is characterized by some knowledge gaps on the actual carbon stock and sequestration potentials of some mangroves forest on the Central African Sub regional landscape. Some of these areas are the Bakassi mangroves in the South West Cameroon. Cross border conflicts, piracy and over exploitation have rendered the sourcing of appropriate data on its carbon stock and sequestration potentials difficult. In strive to bridge this knowledge gap, this work carried out a baseline assessment of the carbon stock and sequestration rate of the area. To achieve the study objectives, stratified random opportunistic sampling inventory design based on five forest canopy height classes, tree Diameter at Breast Height DBH and canopy nature using digital elevation model DEM of the shuttle Radar Topographic Mission SRTM . This combination evaluated the species type and forest structure around the areas. Carbon stocks were estimated with the use of allometric equations using biomass data collected within main plots, sub plots, micro plots and transects. Results showed that mean biomass carbon stock density for the height classes for Bakassi ranged from 33.5 Mg ha to 598.9Mg ha. Thus on average, for a hectare in Bakassi, the carbon stock is 880.437 Mg ha and a sequestration rate of 3231.204 tCO2e ha .
