Derleyen: Naci KAPTAN

Türkiye’de uygulanmakta olan tarım ve özelleştirme politikaları BM’nin 2030 yılı hedeflerinle uyuşuyor mu ?
Bunun yanıtını verebilmek için ülkemizde gittikçe ivme kazanarak artan özelleştirmelerin  topluma olan etkilerini BM’nin 20130 HEDEFLERİ ışığında irdelemek gerektir.

 

 BM’nin SÜRDÜRÜLEBİLİR KALKINMA HEDEFLERİ NELERDİR?
Sürdürülebilir Kalkınma Hedefleri, diğer bir deyişle Küresel Hedefler, yoksulluğu ortadan kaldırmak, gezegenimizi korumak ve tüm insanların barış ve refah içinde yaşamasını sağlamak için evrensel eylem çağrısıdır. Bu 17 Hedef, Binyıl Kalkınma Hedeflerinin başarılarının üzerine inşa edilmekte; bir yandan da diğer önceliklerin yanı sıra iklim değişikliği, ekonomik eşitsizlik, yenilikçilik, sürdürülebilir tüketim, barış ve adalet gibi yeni alanları içeriyor. Hedefler birbiriyle bağlantılıdır; bir hedefte başarının anahtarı, birbiriyle ortak yönleri olan sorunları hep birlikte ele almaktır.

NATURE BASED SOLUTIONS, WATER MANAGEMENT AND AGRICULTURE

Presented by:
Olcay ÜNVER, PhD., Vice Chair of UN-Water and Deputy Director of Land and Water Division at Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO);
Member of the WLE Steering Committee
“The case for intensification has been well articulated in the literature, both from a perspective of increased production, through high-yielding crops, increased irrigation, mechanization, and the role of chemicals that increase production levels, and from a conservation perspective, in terms of the millions of hectares of forests which otherwise would be converted into farm land, unquantifiable amount of ecosystem services saved, and of some 590 billion tons of CO2 prevented from being released into the atmosphere.”

GÜNEYDOĞU GÜNCESİ: MARDİN, URFA & ADIYAMAN

9 Ağustos Perşembe günü Urfa’dan Mardin’e gitmiştik. Urfa’dan Mardin’e gittiğimizde ise saat gece 22’00’ye yaklaşıyordu.
Mardin’de, Maridin Otel’de 2 gece kalmak üzere daha öncesinden yerimiz ayrılmıştı.
ElifLale ve ZeynepNisan ile otelimize giriş yaptık. Bizi otelin genel müdürü Abdullah Demir Bey karşıladı.
Otelin girişinde ki taş duvarlar üzerinde ve dört dine ait dört rölyef kare ile otele gelen bütün dinlerden misafirlere “Hoş Geldiniz” mesajı karşıladı, bizi.  Bu aynı zamanda, Mardin’in çok kültürlü ve dinli bir şehir olmasının da bir semboliydi…

Summary from Innovation Talk:
“FEEDING THE WORLD IN A CHANGING ENVIRONMENT”
Presented by Olcay ÜNVER, PhD.

January 25, 2018
McCord Hall, Arizona State University, Tempe, Arizona
This talk is about the challenge of feeding an increasingly hungry world against a backdrop of resource degradation, inefficiencies, loss and waste, and the impacts of a changing climate. The state of affairs in many of these are far from desirable, and some are projected to worsen as the competition for natural resources increases. Yet, there is reason for optimism, manifested in some of the trends that we are now observing and in the resolve of the international community, that is, governments, civil society and private sector to address the challenge.
