The Ugandan government has decentralized climate change policy strategies at the local government district development planning levels to build local community adaptive capacity for accelerated action for disaster resilience. This chapter focuses on the local community response by Isingiro local government district authority. The purpose is to provide a context of the significance of eco-services and natural biodiversity resources in the semi-arid district, located in the South-Western Uganda, elaborate on the district climate change action plan for community-based adaptation strategies, and the biodiversity conservation district development plan. For decades, most households and local communities have perpetually suffered from the severe climatic stress of galloping heatwaves, shocking floods, ferocious frequent whirlwinds and wind storms, catastrophic droughts, perennial food insecurity, malnutrition, migrations, and famines. The district has adopted strategies to enhance biodiversity conservation for eco-services for food security and sustainable community livelihoods.

India is a growing economy and has to sustain its economic growth, despite challenges of climate change. India's vision is to create a prosperous, self-sustaining economy, mindful of responsibilities to both present and future generations. It is committed to engage in multilateral negotiations in the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in a positive, constructive and forward looking manner. India needed to formulate a national strategy to adapt to climate change and to further enhance the ecological sustainability of its development path based on its unique resource endowments, overriding priority of economic and social development and poverty eradication. This chapter explains the principles on which the National Action Plan on Climate Change is based, the approach adopted and provides details of eight missions, which form the core of the National Action Plan. The status of actions taken on each of the eight missions and other initiatives and the way forward has also been elaborated.

Attitudes Towards Suicide

Abstract As part of a regional initiative, South Ayrshire Council Community Safety Partnership developed a programme of workshops for secondary schools to contribute to the Scottish Government's Suicide Action Plan. Using an applied drama project titled Read between the Lines as a case study, this article outlines how drama is central to the fulfilment of this national strategy. Utilizing David Kolb's experiential learning cycle to evaluate how young people benefitted from the project, I demonstrate the efficacy of performance as a tool to explore real-life scenarios and in effecting change in young people's understanding of and attitudes to suicide. In doing so, I suggest that more tangibly connected communities are created as a means of improving general well-being.

Correct Formulation

Digitalization of modern society leads to the need for the formation and development of critical thinking of learners. The purpose of the article is to study the problem of the development of critical thinking of schoolchildren by posing educational questions. In the course of the study, following results were obtained: the scope and basic principles of compiling questions for the development of critical thinking of schoolchildren were identified, the conditions for the formation of mental skills were identified. Conclusions are drawn: the correct formulation of questions in teaching mathematics contributes to the development of mathematical and analytical competencies of students. Pupils' understanding of issues goes through 4 main stages: setting goals, finding information, drawing up an action plan, choosing a solution strategy.

На основании проведенного структурного анализа Национальной стратегии сохранения биоразнообразия в России были установлены основные этапы и последовательность её разработки. Этот алгоритм может быть представлен как своеобразный технический стандарт, который соответствует правилам разработки комплексных и отраслевых (частных) территориальных стратегий. На примере стратегий разных стран показаны проблемные типы районов - «горячие точки» биоразнообразия. Here we establish the main stages and sequence of the National Strategy for Biodiversity Conservation in Russia, based on the structural analysis. This algorithm can be used as a technical standard that corresponds to the rules for the development of complex and sectoral (private) territorial strategies. Problem types of areas, so called ‘biodiversity hotspots’ are illustrated within strategies of various countries.

The purpose of the work is to elaborate a concept of Roadmap for bioenergy development of Ukraine, which outlines the goals and prospects of the bioenergy sector until 2050. The proposed Roadmap is an essential document for the country for several factors. First, it determines the contribution of bioenergy to meeting Ukraine’s international commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions under the Paris Climate Agreement of 2015. Second, the Roadmap shows ways to achieve existing bioenergy development goals until 2035. Third, the Roadmap can be used to elaborate the National Renewable Energy Action Plan until 2030 and the Concept of state policy on energy and environment, as well as to revise the Ukraine’s current Energy Strategy with an extension until 2050. The baseline approaches of Roadmap for bioenergy development of Ukraine until 2050 are in line with the basic principles of the Ukrainian Green Deal until 2050 and additionally take into account two promising segments of the bioenergy sector such as the development of production and consumption of first- and second-generation biofuels and biomethane. The structure of consumption of biofuels by their types and by types of produced energy carriers is proposed. It is estimated that in 2050, about half of the total biofuels consumption will come from solid biofuels used for heat production. The rest in comparable proportions will be split between solid biofuels for power production, biogas, biomethane, and liquid biofuels. Further, the Roadmap needs to be detailed, refined and expanded to the level of the Strategy for bioenergy development in Ukraine until 2050.
