Climate Crisis

Global climate change threatens to kill or displace hundreds of thousands of people and will irrevocably change the lifestyles of practically everyone on the planet. However, the effect of imperialism and colonialism on climate change is a topic that has not received adequate scrutiny. Empire has been a significant factor in the rise of fossil fuels. The complicated connections between conservation and empire often make it difficult to reconcile the two disparate fields of ecocriticism and postcolonial studies. This paper will discuss how empire and imperialism have contributed to, and continue to shape, the ever-looming threat of global climate crisis, especially as it manifests in the tropics. Global climate change reinforces disparate economic, social, and racial conditions that were started, fostered, and thrived throughout the long history of colonization, inscribing climate change as a new, slow form of imperialism that is retracing the pathways that colonialism and globalism have already formed. Ultimately, it may only be by considering climate change through a postcolonial lens and utilizing indigenous resistance that the damage of this new form of climate imperialism can be undone.

Seaweed Production

Well before island nations began to consider rising ocean levels, a feature of global climate change, they have been concerned with the allocation of water resources. The purpose of this chapter is to revisit the efforts of Zanzibar's academic, as well as private and public institutions, as they promote environmentally responsible entrepreneurial projects, while advancing women's economic empowerment. Analysis will examine the history of seaweed production and consider how Zanzibar's seaweed farmers have recently responded to the dislocations associated with global climate change. This discussion will also consider to what extent Zanzibari seaweed production reflects the norms enshrined in the United Nation's Rio + 20 platform, and the language of the UN's 2030 sustainable development goals.

Well before island nations began to consider rising ocean levels, a feature of global climate change (GCC), they have been concerned with the allocation of water resources. The purpose of this chapter is to examine the efforts of universities, in the Tanzanian cities of Zanzibar and Dar-Es-Salaam, to promote environmentally responsible entrepreneurial projects, which sustain women's economic empowerment, while advancing the general development of the broader community, in which they live. The object of this discussion is to examine the history of sea-weed production, and to examine how Zanzibar's seaweed farmers, who are largely women, have responded to adversity, and what, if anything, they can do to address current difficulties.

The purpose of this research is to reflect back 200 years of the eruption of Tambora on the island of Sumbawa, West Nusa Tenggara through travel with a photographic study approach, specifically travel photography. Since its inception, photography has played a constitutive role in shaping a travel record, this is also comparable to the importance of that role as a depiction of social identity (Osborne, 2000). In addition, travel photography is also a way to see experiences through visual authentication (Hilman Wendy, 2007). Mount Tambora erupted in April 1815, impacting global climate change and natural disasters which claimed 84,000 lives on the island of Sumbawa, and buried the Tambora kingdom and Concentrated .. Based on the results of research, researchers see the occurrence of reconstruction in the history of the eruption of Tambora which is not only seen as a mountain, but also as an identity in the social structure of society in the form of photography. A photographer has the authority to create a reality from pre-travel to post-travel.

Югорский государственный университет ведет активную работу по реализации национального проекта Российской Федерации в сфере образования. Особое внимание уделяется разработке инновационных образовательных программ подготовки молодых специалистов, конкурентоспособных на мировом рынке труда, по наиболее актуальным направлениям деятельности Ханты-Мансийского автономного округа - Югры. Одним из приоритетных направлений в округе, природа которого подвергается серьезному антропогенному воздействию, связанному с интенсивным развитием нефтедобывающей отрасли, является охрана окружающей среды и обеспечение экологической безопасности. Обладая современной материально-технической базой и серьезным кадровым потенциалом, университет ставит перед собой задачу обеспечить внедрение новых методик и технологий подготовки, отвечающих международным образовательным стандартам третьего поколения. Большое значение для развития образовательных программ в области экологии и охраны окружающей среды имеет создание в Югорском государственном университете Международного научно-образовательного Центра динамики окружающей среды и глобальных изменений климата, на базе которого в настоящее время открывается кафедра ЮНЕСКО. Открытие кафедры ЮНЕСКО будет не только способствовать повышению квалификации преподавателей и уровня подготовки молодых специалистов, но и позволит активизировать научное сотрудничество ученых ЮГУ с ведущими российскими и зарубежными университетами и научными центрами, а также привлечь дополнительные источники финансирования.

Geology of Greenland Survey Bulletin, 191, 150-156. https://doi.org/10.34194/ggub.v191.5143 _______________ The reaction of the world’s large ice sheets to global climate change is still in the focus of scientific debate. Recent investigations have shown pronounced thinning in the southern part of the Greenland ice sheet (Inland Ice). In order to investigate the cause of the observed thinning and to judge the sensitivity of this part of the ice sheet a combined field work, remote sensing and modelling project was designed. A glaciological transect was established in May 2001 on one of the main outlet glaciers in South Greenland (Fig. 1), and the first data are now available. In addition, the history of the glacier variations during the last 40 years has been reconstructed.
