Die NDCs - die offiziell eingereichten Ziele der Nationalstaaten - würden bis 2030 nur zu einer Minderung der Emissionen.um 2,6% führen. Der IPCC hält mindesten 43% für nötig. Der Chef der UN-Behörde für Klimawandel, Simon Stiell, bezeichnete dieses Ergebnis bei der Vorstellung des Berichts zu den NDCs als meilenweit vom Nötigen entfernt. https://www.derstandard.at/story/3000000242529/cop29-uno-bericht-nationale-klimama223nahmen-sind-unzureichend

Die EU hat nicht erreicht, dass Mittel aus dem Inflation Reduction Act auch zur Subventionierung des Kaufs von aus der EU gelieferten privaten E-Autos verwendet werden. Bei der Entscheidung der USA, die in der EU-Wirtschaft vielfach als protektionistisch bewertet wird, spielt die Herkunft von Mineralien eine große Rolle. Die Verhandlungen über das Critical Minerals Agreement (CMA) führten nicht zu einer Einigung. Der Handelsblatt-Artikel stellt den komplexen Hintergrund ausführlich dar und berichtet auch über weitere Verhandlungen.

for - Bee and Flower Logic - subconscious unity? - uniting without consciously uniting - agreement through actions, not words

• Identify the types of strategic congruences
• that do not require
  • people or organizations to be or
  • think the same: “bee-and-flower logic.”
• The bee does not consciously know it is “exchanging a service for a product” (my pollen distribution for your pollen).
• The flower does not know it is exchanging a product for a service (my pollen for your transport).
• However, they sustain each other despite never entering into an agreement.
• Cosmolocalism, for example, relies on this logic,
• as people do not need to agree on an analysis or vision to share in the fruits of the virtuous cycle.
• Let us look for all the places this bee-and-flower logic can be enacted.

• Climate Supermarket
• Climate store
• Survey showed consumers were confused by sustainability information
• consumers were left with the belief that shopping sustainably was too expensive
• One answer to simplify the complexity that was confusing people was uniform labeling of grocery products with their CO2e and a hard limit (18.9Kg CO2e) that consumer must stay under each week to meet Paris agreement

= example - gamifying system change in one area - grocery shopping - 18.9 kg was the hard limit - shoppers must keep their purchases under 18.9 kg per week to do their fair share to stay within planetary boundaries, in terms of grocery shopping

Going all out on technological salvation is a form of climate denialism.

Operational Level Agreement – ​​The OLA

The purpose of an Operational Level Agreement (OLA) is to ensure that the SLA is met within the supplier's organization. This article contains a checklist to check whether an OLA is complete.

In modern literate contexts, it is easier to establish doubletalk in oral contexts than it is in written contexts as the written is more easily reviewed for clarity and concreteness. Verbal ticks like "you know what I mean", "it's easy to see/show", and other versions of similar hand-waving arguments that indicate gaps in thinking and arguments are far easier to identify in writing than they are in speech where social pressure may cause the audience to agree without actually following the thread of the argument. Writing certainly allows for timeshiting, but it explicitly also expands time frames for grasping and understanding a full argument in a way not commonly seen in oral settings.

Note that this may not be the case in primarily oral cultures which may take specific steps to mitigate these patterns.

Link this to the anthropology example from Scott M. Lacy of the (Malian?) tribe that made group decisions by repeating a statement from the lowest to the highest and back again to ensure understanding and agreement.

This difference in communication between oral and literate is one which leaders can take advantage of in leading their followers astray. An example is Donald Trump who actively eschewed written communication or even reading in general in favor of oral and highly emotional speech. This generally freed him from the need to make coherent and useful arguments.

inevitable prioritization.

exactly!

see above calculation

Shall we make a calculation. A = max research funding from funders B = sum of researchers C = A/B = research fund accepted by researchers (with competition)<br> D = subscriptions to publishers

The old way: Within every C, there's E (OA publishing fund = X% x C).

The new TA way:

A = max research funding from funders consist of C = research fund without E (OA publishing fund)

D+E is paid to the publishers, which in turn give an allocation to publish as OA articles and to read non OA articles.

I don't think it changes much. It limits the choices of researchers to publish OA to certain publishers that have TA.

this is important.

1. read and publish agreement

• from subscription fund to allocations to read and publish.

1. publish and read agreement

• from subscription fund to allocation to publish. so members of the institution dan read all materials.

The repurpose should not be used since the agreement does not change the role of funders to fund and publishers to publish (with profit).

only happens to rich countries or funders with enough money to pay.

But the transition was only about how we publish and read. It does not change the fact the sum of money that has to be paid by funders (eg: government).

Then looking at the situation of publishers right now, there are big 4 or big 5 of giant publishers. The funders (eg the government) would not be able to pay agreements with all potential (big) publishers. What about agreement small- legit publishers, especially those that publish full OA from the beginning and local journals. They would be easily oversight.

1. In every deal comes with percentage of profits.

2. Although in a way it's natural (to gain profit from a service), but how much profit is a good profit?

3. I don't think we have set up the limit. there's a price cap, but it would easily be converted to final expected profits by inputing the component of large publishing portofolio. Calculation: fixed price cap per article x (sum of allocated articles to publish + sum of allocated articles to read) = expected profit X%

4. What we (researchers) would get from it? Is it rights to publish and rights to read? So let's consider the following situations: a. in this digital internet era, anyone can publish something anywhere anytime, why would we limit our choices to certain journals from certain publishers? b. if we insert to component of peer review as one of the key feature in publishing in a journal, well then all journal would "naturally" do that (by excluding questionable journals). with more choices of OA journals that we have, why would we limit our choices to certain journal articles from certain publishers?<br> c. in a scenario where preprinting is a norm to retain copyrights, then readers would always have an OA version of any articles they wish to read.

5. So again, why would we limit our choices to only journals from certain publishers?

Which freedom we are talking about? We can practice our freedom to publish and publish OA by preprinting even by uploading our manuscript to blogs.

The missing component with that freedom is peer reviewing. Then what is stopping us from creating a freedom to peer review? (eg: PCI, Pre-review).

I agree, seeing as it is difficult to pick and choose a battle to display. Not to mention people are not fighting battles constantly. There could be a 10 years difference, but no one needs to know that.

I love this picture because although it is simple it highlights what Orwell is missing in that tea is meant to be enjoyed, and the method by which it is enjoyed is irrelevant. Well done!

Many UK institutions have signed a contract to fund CUP's publishing activities for four years as a result of Plan S, regardless of how many authors accepted manuscripts (AAM) are openly available in repositories. This fact undermines the arguments made above by the STM Association about the rights retention strategy (RRS) undermining financial sustainability.

Yes, I agree with this. An either/or proposition encourages students to consider their opinions and respond by taking a side. Such an activity can also ensure that students know that others in the classroom have similar and different opinions.

Are there templates available for "appropriately drafted MTAs"?

agreement

Mengenai MTA ini sempat lolos dari perhatian saya saat menyusun RDMP (research data management plan) untuk universitas saya. Saat saya cari info dengan kata kunci "regulasi material transfer agreement", saya hanya mendapatkan satu regulasi dari Kementerian Pertanian. Ini mestinya ada dalam Permen tentang Penelitian.

Ok tentang MTA ini, saya perlu meralat pernyataan sebelumnya yang hanya menemukan regulasi MTA dari Kementan. Hasil pencarian di sini memunculkan sumber informasi tentang MTA yang lebih lengkap dari LIPI. Kemudian, bagian mana dari regulasi formal (yang ada dalam taksonomi regulasi Indonesia) yang mengarah ke dokumen MTA LIPI ini?

things is plural

The James Bay Agreement was signed in 1975 and was the first agreement on modern land claims under the new Canadian federal policy (Peters 1992). James Bay is located at the southern tip of the Hudson Bay. This large body of water is the ending point for many rivers and provides an abundant ecosystem for wildlife. The James Bay area is also inhabited by the Cree and Inuit Indian tribes, who use the ecosystem and the surrounding resources to survive and flourish. This territory was primarily left alone by the public and few were actually interested in this region (Ma et al., 2005). However, this all change when the territory’s hydroelectric potential was recognized in the 1960s, which brought in a flood of people. By 1971, the Quebec government began construction of the James Bay Hydroelectric Project on lands that were still controlled by aboriginal people. This project would result in the altering the course of 19 waterways and would create 25,900 km as reservoir. The Cree and Inuit tribes were so heavily opposed to the idea of this project because it would result in 11,500 km of their land being submerged. This 11,500 of land was still traditional used for aboriginal hunting and was a primary source of livelihood of the Cree and Inuit Indian tribes. The Quebec government toiled over the decision to build the project and finally decided to go ahead with it on the basis that the project would create tens of thousands of jobs and provide a new trade base for Quebec to export surplus energy.

In the fall of 1972, native peoples applied for a halting of the construction in the James Bay region and by 1975 all construction had been halted. This eventually led to the James Bay Agreement that was signed in 1975. The James Bay Agreement included arrangements of compensation for those indigenous people displaced by the controlled flooding of their land and provided a list of federal and provincial commitments for the future of the north. The agreement ultimately gave Quebec jurisdiction over the land where they wished to build the James Bay Hydroelectric Project and opened the territory for economic development (Peters 1992). In the agreement, the Cree and Inuit were able to solidify their way of life by retaining access to the wildlife on most of the lands in that territory. Also, the settlement called for the encouragement of the Cree to continue harvesting wildlife through cash incentives in the form of an income-security program provided by the Quebec government (Asch, 1993). The Cree were also able to add a provision to the agreement that introduced the idea of creating economic development of “renewable, resource-based industries” (Peters 1992). Through the James Bay Agreement, aboriginal people’s flexibility to avoid or accommodate frontier activity and intrusion is clearly on display.

Is there any reasonable agreement about what the term metadata means or includes? For example, how important is the unit of measure to scientists (feet vs meters) and is that information considered metadata or simply an implied part inherent in the data itself?
