International Day for Biodiversity - 22nd May 2013
|
22.5.2013 |
The Earth Times Online Newspaper - Health News |
| Biodiversity is the term given to the variety of life on Earth and the natural pattern it forms. The biodiversity we see today is the result of millions of years of evolution, initially shaped by natural processes, but in modern times increasingly as a result of human intervention. We are an integral part of the web of biodiversity and we depend on this web, as does every other life form on the planet. |

MPs blast failure to quantify success
|
22.5.2013 |
Guardian: Environment |
| Select committee report accuses ministers of failing to set clear goals for what they hope to achieve from flagship energy policy
The green deal , the flagship environmental policy of the UK's coalition government intended to make the country's homes more energy efficient, has received a fresh blow after an influential committee of MPs blasted the government on Wednesday morning for failing to quantify what could be counted as a success for the policy.
The parliamentary select committee on energy and climate change accused ministers of failing to set clear goals for what they hoped to achieve from the green deal. That failure would make it harder to achieve substantial outcomes from the policy , the group of MPs said.
Tim Yeo, former Conservative minister and current chair of the committee, said: "It is unacceptable that, three years into the life of this parliament, ministers are unable to explain what success would look like from one of the coalition's flagship policies."

22.5.2013 |
The Guardian -- World Latest |
| Austria's social enterprise sector is growing – and is now looking for talented young people to help shape its future
Social entrepreneurship in Austria is still a young sector – 75% of all initiatives are not older than four years. But they are growing constantly – as is the awareness about what social entrepreneurship is and how social innovation can contribute to societal development.
According to a recent study by the Vienna University of Economics and Business , there are around 270 social entrepreneurs to be found in Austria. An infrastructure to support them is slowly emerging, providing co-working spaces, consulting, training or access to networks of supporters.
Many individuals do not yet realise that they are in fact social entrepreneurs and that there is a new career pathway unfolding, which receives increasing public acknowledgement. That is why raising awareness about this new type of work and business model, entrepreneurial culture and new career opportunities is still on ... |
