ECO Consult Sepp & Busacker Partnerschaft was founded in the year of the UN Rio Summit in 1992. ECO, offers integrated advisory services for developing countries and countries in transition. ECO is among Germany’s leading international consultants to offer independent technical advise for sustainable development in the environment and social sectors, particularly in the fields of REDD+ and wood energy, along the value-chain from the production to the end-users, including innovative stove and carbonization technologies.

Agriculture is predominantly rainfed in Ghana where the climate is dominated by the inter tropical convergence zone and the hot, dry harmattan winds blowing from the Sahara.The south of the country experiences a bimodal rainfall regime, with a major and a minor rainfall season while the north of the country has a unimodal rainfall regime. Climate change scenarios show that mean temperatures in the Savannah Zones, predominantly in the north, can be expected to increase by approximately 2°C by 2050.

Background: Sensors currently used for detecting the presence of a given analyte such as a toxin in solution or in air require direct contact with a power supply. Distributed sensing systems or “sensor networks” are an emerging technology that promise the ability to wirelessly monitor and manipulate an environment via a spatially distributed network of small and inexpensive sensor nodes.

Erez Thermoplastic Products is one of the leading companies in the world in coating .membranes with thermoplastic materials for various applications. Erez manufactures Polyester (PES) and Polyamide (PA) coated with various Polymeres such as Vinyl Polyurethane Polyolefin and blends.

A gender-responsive monitoring and evaluation framework to assess the value of climate information and advisory services for smallholder farming communities, including case studies from Kenya, India and Senegal.

This manual is intended for natural resource managers who wish to plan for the potential and current impacts of climate change. It looks at impacts and mitigation measures (other than reducing emissions) by biome. The manual outlines practical ideas of how to begin increasing the resiliency of ecosystems and plan our protected areas in response to the threat of climate change. Some of these strategies are in line with conservation strategies that are not new, such as reducing fragmentation, building corridors, reducing threats, and increasing resiliency in general.

Technology Description: USC researchers have developed a nanocomposite membrane for removal of aqueous contaminants and salts. The membrane was synthesized by incorporating the nano-sized material graphene oxide (GO) into aromatic polyamide (PA) matrices. The GO-PA and similar composites can serve the entire spectrum of membrane technologies including microfiltration nanofiltration and ultrafiltration with enhanced water flux and improved fouling resistance compared to thin-film composite (TFC) polyamide (PA) membranes which dominate the current market.
