Childhood refers to the state and condition of a child’s life-to the quality of those years. JAGO NARI recognizes that children as well as women are the holders of their own rights. And because these rights are invested in the child’s and woman’s own person, the child and the woman is no longer a passive recipient of charity but an empowered   actor in his/her own development. The organization emphasizes the need to respect children’s and women’s evolving capacities. All programs are expected to create spaces and promote process designed to enable and empower children and women to express their views, to be consulted and to influence decisions in all matters affecting them in accordance with their age and development.

Established in 2002, the Network of Regional Governments for Sustainable Development - nrg4SD - acts in three main fields: Sustainable development, biodiversity and climate change. The nrg4SD acts as the voice of regional governments in the context of the global agendas at UN and EU levels and facilitates collaboration between its members, promoting sustainable policies and actions in subnational territories.
In the field of climate change, nrg4SD runs RegionsAdapt, an initiative to inspire and support regional governments to act, collaborate and report efforts on climate change adaptation. More specifically, RegionsAdapt is a platform for tracking regional adaptation plans and strategies across the world; promoting the acceleration of the adoption or revision of regional climate adaptation plans and strategies; cooperation among regional governments and sharing of best practices within their different capacities and experiences on climate adaptation.
By joining RegionsAdapt initiative, governments commit to: 1. Adopt a strategic approach to adaptation and prioritize adaptation actions within two years of joining the initiative; 2. Take concrete action on adaptation in at least one of the key priority areas identified by the regions; and 3. Report data on the progress of the adaptation actions on an annual basis. The seven key priority areas are: Water Resources and Management; Resilience and Disaster Risk Reduction; Agriculture and Zootechnics; Forestry, Protected Areas and Biodiversity; Infrastructure and Territorial Planning; Economic Impacts and Opportunities; and Social Adaptation and Impacts.

The Boticário Group Foundation was created in 1990 as one of the first private institutions dedicated to nature conservation in Brazil. Since then, our commitment has been kept perennial and steadfast. We started our activities supporting initiatives by other institutions and became one of the main financers of environmental projects in the country. Over 26 years, we have supported more than 1,500 initiatives from almost 500 different institutions. We have suported initiatives to research the impact of climate change over endemic species, and we have delivered the results for the national government trough the Ministry of Environment and subnational governments as well.
We also have developed our own actions, through our own Nature Preserves, we conserve over 11,000 hectares of both Atlantic Forest and Cerrado, the two most threatened biomes in Brazil.
We devise and execute initiatives such as Oasis, a pioneer program of Payment for Environmental Services (PES); the Estação Natureza Exhibits, always seeking to mobilize society in favor of the conservationist cause.
We also work with Public Policies, advocating for nature conservation and ecosystem based adaptation. We have developed a study in order to contribute with the Nation Government in the elaboration of the National Adaptation Plan. There’s an English version: http://goo.gl/umgZhl 
We also help subnational governments to include ecosystem conservation in their local policies, increasing the resilience of society trough nature protection.
All this to show that the environment is not only an inspiration, but a reason for us to go on.

The Global Climate Forum initiates and performs innovative research on climate change and related global challenges. We are an association of institutes, companies, NGOs and individual researchers. We work in the network of governments, corporations and social movements that has formed around the issue of climate change. We do this by embedding our research in long-term stakeholder dialogues. Our aim thereby is not necessarily to reach a consensus, but to develop a variety of well-considered opinions. Often, this is the best foundation for sound decisions.

Our studies provide arguments for long-term climate mitigation and adaptation policies, ultimately leading towards a sustainable development path. GCF joint studies focus on problems, which different stakeholders have differing views on. GCF’s goal is to clarify differences and produce analyses that summarise and advance our state of knowledge in critical areas. The forum cultivates a pluralistic exchange in which different points of view are freely expressed and debated, on a basis of mutual respect.

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND 

MarineLife Alliance is a non-political, nonprofit, non-government research organization dealing with biodiversity resource conservation and research, established in 2003, is committed to be dedicated to the understanding, protection and preservation of the regional as well as world’s marine resources and ecosystem. Endless and tremendous threats to the coastal and marine resources in Bangladesh due to manmade alteration in the name of development, unlawful eradication of living resources and the extreme desire for marine underwater exploration thrusts the formation of MLA by a group of young biologist who are carrying out conservation and research work with the voluntary contribution since 1994. MarineLife Alliance is committed to be dedicated to the understanding, protection and preservation of the regional as well as world’s marine resources and ecosystem.

MISSION & GOALS
MarineLife Alliance born to promote conservation and research of our marine resources. The ocean is a really tremendous mystery. Only 8 - 9% of the Worlds Ocean has been said by the world biologist leaving us poorly prepared to monitor changes in the distribution of marine species. Coastal areas everywhere in the world are densely populated and local people depend largely upon sea resource especially in the 3rd world. The degradation of the ocean resources is severe as whale sharks are caught and killed by the fisherman; sea turtles are suffocated by fishing activity. Corals, mollusk and sea urchins are extracted by local people in huge number, numerous juvenile sea species are destroyed just for the lack of consciousness and lack of knowledge. Two third of the world’s reefs are dying and our one of the great concern of this is coral bleaching. Magnificent species like sea turtles, Whales & dolphins are being trapped in fishing gears and corals are dying from the loss of essential symbiotic environmental condition. They want human care to overcome and how extensive it is only scientist can depict. MarineLife mission is to protect the marine resources from the near extinction through the civilized human activity.

MEMBERSHIP

BISP has a nationwide presence with headquarters in Federal Capital Islamabad and 6 regional offices at provincial capitals, AJK and GB. There are 33 divisional offices and 385 Tehsil offices all across the country.
The Government of Pakistan launched the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) – the National Cash Transfer Programme (NCTP) – in July 2008, as the premier safety net institution in Pakistan. BISP originally came into being in the face of rapid food price inflation, which saw food, grain and fuel prices reaching a 30-year highest in 2008 and the global economic downturn in 2009 which further decreased the welfare of already vulnerable households. The Benazir Income Support Program (BISP), a targeted unconditional cash transfer program in Pakistan was implemented by focusing on poor women with an immediate objective of consumption smoothing and cushioning the negative effects of slow economic growth

Goals and objective of Programme are as follows

Enhance financial capacity of poor people and their dependent family members.
Formulate and implement comprehensive policies and targeted programmes for the uplift of underprivileged and vulnerable people.
Reduce poverty and promote equitable distribution of wealth especially for the low income groups.

United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change secretariat
UNFCCC

Approved19/06/2019 18:19
WHO WE ARE

When and why was the secretariat created?

The UNFCCC secretariat (UN Climate Change) was established in 1992 when countries adopted the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).

With the subsequent adoption of the Kyoto Protocol  in 1997 and the Paris Agreement  in 2015, Parties to these three agreements have progressively reaffirmed the secretariat’s role as the United Nations entity tasked with supporting the global response to the threat of climate change.

Since 1995, the secretariat is located in Bonn, Germany.

Who works at the secretariat?

Around 450 staff are employed at UN Climate Change. Secretariat staff come from over 100 countries and represent a blend of diverse cultures, gender and professional backgrounds.

At the head of the secretariat is the Executive Secretary, a position currently held by Patricia Espinosa.

What does the secretariat do?

Focussing in its early years largely on facilitating the intergovernmental climate change negotiations, the secretariat today supports a complex architecture of bodies that serve to advance the implementation of the Convention, the Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Agreement.

The secretariat provides technical expertise and assists in the analysis and review of climate change information reported by Parties and in the implementation of the Kyoto mechanisms. It also maintains the registry for Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) established under the Paris Agreement, a key aspect of implementation of the Paris Agreement.

The secretariat organizes and supports between two and four negotiating sessions each year. The largest and most important is the Conference of the Parties, held annually and hosted in different locations around the globe. It is the largest annual United Nations conference, attended on average by around 25,000 participants. In addition to these major conferences, the secretariat organizes annual sessions of the so-called subsidiary bodies as well as a large number of meetings and workshops throughout the year.

In recent years, the secretariat also supports the Marrakech Partnership for Global Climate Action, agreed by governments to signal that successful climate action requires strong support from a wide range of actors, including regions, cities, business, investors and all parts of civil society. At UN Climate Change Conferences, a large number of events demonstrate how non-Party stakeholders are working with governments and the UN system to implement the Paris Agreement.

Throughout the year, the secretariat strives to keep all stakeholders informed of on the negotiating process and climate action through a variety of communications products, including social media. The UNFCCC social media accounts, including on Twitter and Facebook have a combined following of around 1.3 million people

To encourage investment in climate adaptation projects, The Higher Ground Foundation created the Vulnerability Reduction Credit, or VRC™, an economic measure of the effects of such projects in reducing vulnerability. The VRC is an exchangeable certificate that a project has met and is meeting its adaptation targets. VRCs are a means to quantifiably assess a project, based on sustained attention to maintaining climate resilience. As such they may be used for monitoring and evaluating projects, prioritizing investments, and could be purchased by parties interested in securing verifiable reductions in climate vulnerability from climate adaptation.

We are at an exciting point in our development. After development and a comprehensive review by over 40 experts, we have released of VRC Standard Framework and launched our "Pilot Implementation and Partnerships Phase.  We invite you to join us in pioneering projects, methodologies, and financing mechanisms to create a future where the best responses to climate change are the choices the world wants to make.

Our integrated approach lies on the premise that climate change affects all sectors (health, tourism and development, gender and culture, housing, agro ecological, town and country planning). Given that nearly two thirds of those earning less than $1.25 a day in developing nations across Africa make a living from agriculture – an industry directly affected by climate change – rural communities will be one of our key focus for our social intervention initiatives.

The origin of the Institute of Environmental Studies (IES) dates back to the 1972 United Nations Conference on the Human Environment in Stockholm and the subsequent call by the Arab League for Education, Cultural and Social Organization (ALECSO) that universities should address themselves to the problems of the environment. This call was responded to by Dr. M. El Tom of the Geography Department, University of Khartoum, who wrote to the Vice-Chancellor asking for the establishment of a Faculty for Environmental Studies. Growing interest in the University and outside led the Vice-Chancellor in 1975 to establish a steering committee heads by Professor M.D. El Khalifa to look into the possibility of the University creating such an institute.
The Committee considered new kinds of training at the under-graduate and post-graduate levels as well as new approaches to the organization of environmental research. This work was assisted by a valuable report sponsored by Ford Foundation and written by Dr. Ian Burton of the University of Toronto and Dr. Gordon Conway, of Imperial College, London, based on a mission to the Sudan.
The Steering Committee recommended that, for the time being, the Institute would concentrate on post-graduate training and leave an under-graduate programme to a later date. It was also felt that because the nature of environmental problems in the Sudan that the traditional disciplinary approaches by themselves were not enough and that a broad integrative inter-disciplinary outlook was needed for the new programme.  It was also agreed that rather than start a completely new unit within the university, it would be better to build on existing structures and the Hydrobiological Research Unit and the Natural History Museum, of the Faculty of Science, were selected to be the nucleus of the new institute.
In April, 1978 the U of K Senate gave formal approval to the Institute of Environmental Studies’ Statute which stipulated that control would be vested in a Board and an Academic Committee. In June of that year the Ford Foundation made a generous grant to the Institute to cover the first two years of its operation. Finally, in April 1979, the Senate approved the curriculum that had been planned by the Academic Committee.  During the students’ recruitment process it was decided that for the time being it would be most appropriate for the Institute to admit students who were already employed and who could bring the benefits of IES training directly to their work when they returned. In August the first group of nine post-graduate students enrolled in the Master of Science course in Environmental Studies, the first of its kind in Africa and the Arab World.

For 44 years, The Mountain Institute has focused exclusively on the challenges faced by remote mountain communities and the fragile environments that surround them. In fact, we are the only international, non-governmental organization with this focus. We design solutions in partnership with local mountain communities to meet their unique needs. We’re making a real difference in people’s lives in some of the most remote and threatened places on the planet. Our Medicinal and Aromatic Plants project helps impoverished high-mountain farmers in Nepal support their families. In the Andes of Peru we work closely with remote communities to help them become more resilient in the face of climate change. In the Appalachian mountains of the USA we’re teaching children about science in the context of mountain ecology. And in the American West, our Institute supports indigenous peoples’ efforts to preserve their tribal lands and heritage. Our global initiatives rely on an alliance of partners who work together to keep mountain issues on the international agenda.

CLARIFYING RISK

CHanGE discerns, quantifies, and communicates risk by taking a systems approach. Working with diverse stakeholders, CHanGE uses scenarios to highlight and quantify current risks, giving weight to vulnerable populations, studying their susceptibility, and identifying and testing strategies to improve and protect their health.

PROTECTING HEALTH

CHanGE works with communities to identify strategic investments that will improve their health, from strengthening public health activities and systems to conducting health impact assessments of infrastructure decisions. Activities range from consultation to assure strategic public health investment to research on new interventions to protect health, including factors that affect successful implementation.

PURSUING TRANSFORMATIVE CHANGE

Global change presents unprecedented challenges and opportunities to population health, with the challenges expected to increase over coming decades. Early action can reduce current health burdens from global environmental changes, and prevent much of the increases projected over coming decades. Preparing for and managing risks is fundamentally about the future –the health of our children and grandchildren, identifying opportunities for transformative change in health and other sectors.

UUSC is a human rights organization. We work with the most marginalized communities around the world to advance their human rights. We do this through grant-making, research and advocacy. Our environmental justice and climate action program focuses on increasing the resilience of affected communities by establishing and elevating their rights in decision making processes at the local, state and international levels. At the moment, we are focusing on 3 main issues: (i) advancing and protecting the rights of peoples displaced by climate change, as well as increasing the engagement of these communities in the policy processes that involve mitigation, adaptation, finance and technology to avoid their displacement and to enhance their resilience. (ii) Additionally, we are also focusing on addressing the systemic barriers and discrimination that affected marginalized communities experience during and after a natural disaster when accessing humanitarian aid, as well as ensuring that their rights are respected in humanitarian assistance by the State and other entities, and (iii) we also work to advance women's rights and gender equity in climate action
