Civil society plays key roles in pushing for new laws, programmes, policies or strategies on climate change, in holding governments to account on their commitments; in identifying the lack of joined-up government responses to climate change; and in ensuring that national policy making does not forget the poor and vulnerable. These are the findings of a report launched today at the UN climate talks in Bonn by a coalition of more than 20 civil society networks in developing countries, with support from the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED) and CARE through the Climate Capacity Consortium. The report ? Southern voices on climate policy choices: civil society advocacy on climate change ? provides an analysis of the tools and tactics advocacy groups use to influence policy responses to climate change.

The Institute was hoping for a bumper conference that would help it push its climate denial agenda, its credibility and funding. But that looks like it is not going to happen. The conference will take place as Heartland is under pressure like never before. The Institute is facing increasing financial and political isolation. Ever since the Institute ran its ?Unabomber advert? earlier this month, its sponsors and donors have finally woken up to the realities of its dangerous climate denial extremism. They are now dumping Heartland faster than rats on a fast sinking ship.  So far eleven companies have said they will no longer fund Heartland, including Eli Lilly, BB&T, Pepsi, GM, State Farm, Diageo, the Association of Bermuda Insurers and Reinsurers, Renaissance Re, XL Group, Allied World Assurance, and USAA.. ?More than 100,000 Americans are telling corporations to stop polluting our democracy by supporting organizations like the Heartland Institute,? said Daniel Souweine, Campaign Director of Forecast the Facts. ?Heartland?s remaining funders would be wise to heed their calls. Heartland?s radical agenda stains the reputation of any business that wants to be considered a responsible corporate citizen.?

Dvs. en verden i kasseformede byggeklodser, der skal hentes via minedrift, nu med controller frem for mus og keyboard. En lille bunke ændringer har også set dagens lys, både i form af nye features, men også mangel på etablerede features. Tjek Slagmarks anmeldelse af spillet her!     Titel: Minecraft Udgivelsesdato: 09/05/2012 Udvikler: Mojang / 4J-Studios Dansk Udgiver: Microsoft Studios Platforme: Xbox 360 Genre: Action Adventure Stil: First Person, Sandbox Spillere: 1-8 Modes: 1-4 lokalt2-8 multiplayer online Online: Ja. Co-op. Anmeldt til: Xbox 360 + Ekstremt tilgængeligt.+ Ganske atmosfærisk med få virkemidler.+ Stor mulighed for at præge sin egen spiloplevelse. + God multiplayer funktionalitet. - Rodløs narrativ.- En del begrænsninger fra PC-udgaven.- Grafikken er tynget af manglen på muligheden for at opdatere med skins og textures. Grafik 11/20 | Grimt per design, men samtidig stilfuldt ikonisk. Lyd 15/20 | Lækker og eventyrlig musik, og god stemning. Gameplay 18/20 | Stærk spiloplevelse, der fungerer uden at trække på vilde fagter og overfladiske elementer. Nytænkning 17/20 | Spillet var vældigt nyskabende til PC, og denne udgave er en videreføring af meget af dette. Levetid 15/20 | Der er en del liv, at hente i denne udgave, men det er samtidig med en formodning om at spillet udvides med updates. Har man boet under en sten sammen med snegle og bænkebiddere, eller været i eksil uden internet og menneskelig kontakt, så kan det måske undskyldes, hvis man ikke har stiftet bekendtskab med ny-klassikeren, Minecraft. Spillet har høstet ros og hæder og er blevet vældig populært på kun kort tid til trods for sit forsimplede grafiske udtryk og til tider meget sandboxede gameplay uden, der ikke byder på meget historie-mæssig rød tråd. Spillet lægger op til, at man på nærmest The Sims-agtig vis bygger en tilværelse med hjem og beskæftigelse som eventyrer op indenfor den tilfældigt genererede verden, som præger Minecraft. Her er et væld af resurser, der skal graves op, grotter og miner, der skal udforskes, og monstre, som enten skal trynes eller undgås alt efter spillestil. Vigtigheden af at etablere sig ved at bygge hjem, redskaber og våben understreges ved tusmørkets frembrud. Her skifter omgivelsernes stemning fra hyggelige, oplyste og klingende af rare dyrelyde til at være mørke og fyldt med farer.   Minecraft til Xbox har allerede set stor interesse og er hurtigt blevet rekordholder på platformen. Det tog nemlig ikke mere end en time før indtjeningen på downloads via Xbox Marketplace oversteg de omkostninger, der lå bag udviklingen af XBL versionen. Men er der grund til at kaste sig over Xbox-versionen, eller er det lutter hype? Lad os se lidt nærmere på de features, der adskiller PC- og Xbox-versionerne.   Nyt i Xbox-versionen Først og fremmest kan man i Xbox-versionen af Minecraft snart helt umoddet benytte sig af Kinect som tilføjelse til styresystemet. Endnu vigtigere, så er det nu muligt at spille op til fire spillere lokalt i splitscreen mode, og op til otte spillere over nettet. Halen af denne funktionalitet er at servere så desværre ikke understøtter spil med flere end otte spillere (alle med forskellige spiller-skins). Der vil heller ikke være mulighed for at tilføje mods, skins og texture-packs til at starte med, men det siges, at der vil komme til at være DLC pakker med sådanne udvidelser. Spillet indeholder også en ny tilgang til crafting, og i stedet for at skulle udenadslære eller have minecraftwiki.net åben i et andet vindue, så indeholder Xbox-versionen opskrifter på alle mulige genstande, som kan craftes.   Minecraft til Xbox har også en ganske fiks tutorial mode, der går omfattende til værks. Selv når man er in game, søger spillet for at introducere nye materialer og ny funktionalitet løbende som man støder ind i dem. Det gør overgangen fra n00b til habil spiller meget glattere og lettere, end den er i PC-udgaven, men der er endnu flere ting, som gør Xbox-udgaven yderligere tilgængelig.     Spillet gøres også mere behændigt af sin crafting menu, hvor man blot vælger den ting, som skal craftes, og at man baseret på indholdet af ens inventory kan se hvilke genstande det er muligt at crafte på ethvert givent tidspunkt. Ligesom i PC udgaven er der et 2×2 crafting grid til rådighed, og som aktiveres når som helst med et knaptryk (her dog adskilt fra inventory), og et 3×3 crafting grid, der aktiveres med et Crafting Table. Den store forskel er altså at finde i enkeltheden, som komplementerer controller-styringen ganske glimrende. Desværre er udbudet af opskrifter ikke ligeså stort som på PC, og der vil være en del ting, som ikke kan konstrueres i Xbox-udgaven, men der går dog lidt tid før den begrænsning melder sig i den aktive spiltid, især hvis man er sprit ny i Minecraft-universet.     Derudover så må Xbox-brugere nøjes med en health-barre, og sige farvel til food-barren, hvilket samtidig resulterer i et forsimplet health/food-system. Derfor finder man heller ikke oksekød fra køer, men kun læder, og kun fjer fra kyllinger, frem for kyllingekød og fjer. Zombier smider heller ikke råddent kød, når de dræbes, men af en eller anden besynderlig grund også fjer (er der relation mellem zombier og kyllinger?). Mad er derfor en ekstra sparsom resurse, som nu føles endnu vigtigere, da man ikke auto-regenererer, såfremt man er helt mæt. Derfor kan det føles en smule frustrerende, at kun grise, fisk, og de få æg som kyllinger smider er den eneste umiddelbare mad, som kan findes fra starten. Man har selvfølgelig mulighed for at gro hvede og lave brød, kager og cookies, men det er en større proces, hvis man står med en taske fyldt med guld og diamanter langt nede i et minesystem, og at det lurer med creepers og edderkopper.   Nu vi er ved det, så føles monstrene klart skrappere i kamp. Sjældent har jeg overlevet en creeper-eksplosion, og det er især til sammenligning med PC-versionen, hvor man kunne være mere heldig med at slippe fra disse kræ. Der er også flere mobs (monstre), der ikke lader sig skræmme af sollys, hvilket gør Xbox-versionens morgengry til en blandet oplevelse. Kun skeletter og zombier brænder i solens stråler, og man skal ikke blive alt for overrasket, hvis man forlader hoveddøren til lyden af Tsssssssss… KAPOW!! af 3-4 creepers i den umiddelbare nærhed. Det skal hertil siges, at det heller ikke er muligt at skifte niveau undervejs, ligesom at det er i PC-udgaven. Dvs. at det kræver, at man lukker sit spil ned og skifter niveau når man loader det ind igen. Til gengæld mister man ikke de lidt ligegyldige XP, som man kan samle i PC-udgaven, og som man bruger til at enchante sine redskaber, rustninge og våben med, og denne funktionalitet mangler helt og aldeles. Desværre.. måske.. Denne feature er endnu ikke specielt gennemført på PC’en, så man savner den nærmest ikke på Xbox.     Sidste nævneværdige forandringer er at man nu starter spillet med et kort, hvilket er en rar lille feature, der minimerer den tidlige vildfarelse. Verden er nu også begrænset til et område på 1024×1024, hvorimod PC-versionen i teorien er uendeligt stor. The Nether (en slags underverden fyldt med ild, lava, alternative materialer og monstre) er derfor også barrikeret af af vægge lavet af bedrock (ubrydeligt sten, der indgrænser verden og danner den nederste undergrund i den almindelige verden). Creative mode er også væk, så man har valgt at lade Xbox-versionen rent spil, uden den LEGO-legs agtige mulighed for at bygge verdener op uforstyrret. Sidst men ikke mindst, så er det nu ikke længere, at gå igennem sukkerrør, hvilket er en fornuftig, men lidt finurlig update fra PC-versionen.   Minecraft XBL trailer   Single player Minecraft har lidt af samme smag som at lægge kabale blandet med at lege med LEGO, i det at man bruger meget tid på at bygge og bedrive minedrift og bygge bygninger. Skulle en ikke-initieret ven eller kæreste komme forbi under selve eventyret, er kommentaren ofte, at spillet ser enormt stenet ud. På mystisk vis formår spillet alligevel at træde ud over grænsen fra advanceret navlepilleri til rent faktisk at føles formålsfyldt. I hvert fald et stykke af vejen. Multiplayer delen af spillet har dog lidt mere karakter af at tage på eventyr med sine venner, og det er overraskende tilfredsstillende, at udføre de slaviske indsamlingsopgaver og bygge borge med sin BFF, imens man lægger strategier og hjælper hinanden både med det praktiske og monster-nedslagtningen.     Begge modes er ret så underholdende, især fordi mængden af genstande, som man kan konstruere er overvældende og at mængden strukturer, som man kan bygge føles uendelig, og kun begrænset af fantasien. Men Minecraft til XBL undslipper ligesom sin PC version ikke, at det er et spil med en utrolig utydelig, og til tider ikke-tilstedeværende narrativ. Derfor er der i sidste ende også kun det formål med spillet, som man selv lægger i det, f.eks. at opbygge imponerende bygninger, finde store mængder diamanter, dominere The Nether, eller ren tidsfordriv. Her adskiller den nuværende Xbox-version sig ved ikke at have en konklusion i form af The End med Endermen og en Enderdragon. Igen en lidt ufærdig feature ved PC-versionen, som endnu ikke føles som en mangel i Xbox-versionen.   Konklusion Minecraft er utrolig afhængighedsdannende på den mest mystiske vis. Det er ikonisk yndefyldt og grimt på en og samme tid, og ikke kun grafisk. Hele spillet er både klodset og intelligent i en vending, og hvad bedre er, er at spillet konstant bliver udviklet på i et dialogisk samspil mellem en spiludvikler fyldt med gode intentioner og oprigtighed og et spiller-community, der higer efter at hjælpe med at komme med gode idéer og at udnytte enhver mulighed som spillet bibringer. Desværre har Xbox-udgaven ikke samme muligheder som de, der allerede har gjort PC-versionen til et kulturelt fænomen, nemlig muligheden for mods og at bygge store servere med scriptede eventyr. Til gengæld har den strømlinet og flydende multiplayer-funktionalitet, der gør Minecraft til et spil, der både kan spilles i fællesskab med venner over XBL og med kammeraterne i samme sofa både i et par timer og over længere perioder.   For 1600 MS point (der ca. svarer til de 19,95? som PC-udgaven koster) får man et lækkert lille spil, der byder på mange timers afslappet, og til tider hektisk underholdning. Man får også (i modsætning til mange andre konsol-spil) ikke kun bugfixes fremadrettet, men også nye tilføjelser i form af ny gameplay funktionalitet, ligesom man har fået det i PC-versionen, så her er altså løbende ekstra valuta for pengene.   Det er svært at lade være med at anbefale Minecraft til Xbox, men i særdeles høj grad, hvis man kender andre, der har spillet, eller har tænkt sig at investere i det. Overgangen fra PC til Xbox er sket relativt problemfrit, og hvis man ikke har stiftet bekendtskab med den oprindelige udgave, så ser man alligevel ikke den forskel. Det skal dog nævnes, at spillet i meget stor grad er præget af sandbox-gameplay og at man bruger meget tid på at udforske og bygge, hvilket vil sige, at de som foretrækker non-stop action hurtigt vil komme til at hænge fast i spillets mangel på dybde hvad event orienteret gameplay angår. Nyder man til gengæld at gå på nogle til tider lidt stenede eventyr, hvor man tilbagelægger store distancer og graver sig dybt ned imod jordens kerne for at finde sjældne materialer og genstande til at bygge sit hjem/slot/fort/landsby op, og manøvre sig udenom faretruende fjender, så er Minecraft uden parallel. Spillet sætter spillerens egen fantasi og kreativitet i højsædet, og derfor er det også blevet til et af de allerstørste moderne kulturfænomener, som vi i disse tider er vidne til i spilverdenen, nemlig fordi at spillets post-moderne rammestruktur ikke fortæller spillerens historie, men lader spillet tilrettelægge sin egen tilværelse og dele den med sine venner.

Read on to learn about the state of health of our precious blue marble, why nearly 2 million people are fighting to save the Amazon forests and how seven teenagers are taking on the US government for climate crimes against future generations. WWF releases Living Planet Report ?We are living as if we have an extra planet at our disposal. We are using 50 per cent more resources than the Earth can sustainably produce and unless we change course, that number will grow fast ? by 2030 even two planets will not be enough.? Those are the scary words of WWF International Director General Jim Leape on the findings of his organizations Living Planet Report. A biennial survey of the Earth?s health, the 2012 Living Planet report found that the ever-growing demand for resources by a growing population is putting tremendous pressures on our planet?s biodiversity and is threatening our future security, health and well-being. The report was launched on Tuesday with the help of ESA astronaut André Kuipers, who gave a poignant reminder for why the health of our planet should be the primary goal of every government. Learn more about the report here. WWF, Avaaz and Greenpeace team up to fight for the Amazon Three of TckTckTck?s largest partner organizations are jointly mobilizing their 22 million supporters to call on Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff to veto the Forest Code bill passed by the House of Deputies. WWF, Greenpeace and Avaaz say the proposed changes to the Forest Code would threaten recent successes in reducing forest loss and compromise efforts to tackle corruption in the Amazon region. Already nearly 1.8 million people from around the world have signed the shared petition calling on President Rousseff to veto the proposed Forest Code, and the three groups hope to raise that number as high as 2 million in the coming days. President Rousseff has not reacted publicly nor indicated whether she intends to fight the measure since it was passed on 25 April. Independent research organizations estimate the new legislation could lead to the loss of up to 76.5 million hectares (190 million acres) of forest, which translates to 28 billion tonnes of added CO2 in the atmosphere. This would make it impossible for Brazil to reach its carbon reduction targets, a potential embarrassment for the host of the Rio +20 Summit in June. Rousseff has until 25 May to veto all or part of the bill, or allow it to become law. Click here to sign the petition, or here to leave a message on the Facebook wall of Rousseff?s political party, Partidodos Trabalhadores. Canadian environmental orgs to Black out, Speak Out The continued assault on the rights and freedoms of Canada?s environmental watchdogs and organizations by Stephen Harper?s Conservative government has pushed groups to a breaking point. After the government announced it would seek to reduce the ability of environmental organizations to intervene in federal policy decisions (such as the Enbridge Northern Gateway Tar Sands pipeline), Canadian groups formed a united front to fight back. On June 4, TckTckTck partners including CPAWS, the David Suzuki Foundation, Ecojustice, Environmental Defense, Equiterre, Greenpeace, Sierra Club, WWF and the Pembina Institute will all darken their websites in protest against efforts to silence the voices of environmentally-minded Canadians. As they say ?All of our voices are at risk, and silence is not an option.?

These youth leaders are part of the iMatter Campaign, and are all plaintiffs in the Alec L v Jackson lawsuit, for failing to protect the atmosphere as a public trust. As Alec says in his op-ed which we posted earlier last week: ?But the reality is, this case is a fight between those who make money from the way things are and the entire youngest generation who will not. It?s profits vs. people; short term interests vs. the future of generations yet to come; greed vs. sustainability. In fact, we?re not even fighting ?against? the fossil fuel lobbyists at all, we are fighting for them. We?re fighting on behalf of their children.? The concept behind their lawsuit is simple. In it, the US government would accept responsibility for failing to act on climate change, and then commit to a specific plan for climate recovery, using standards set by climatologist Dr. James Hansen. The hearing for the Motion to Dismiss was last Friday. While we won?t know the results for at least another week, the TckTckTck alliance is extremely honoured to count iMatter and Our Children?s Trust, two of the plaintiffs, among our members. To find out more about iMatter?s lawsuit and their important work, visit their website: imattermarch.org Climate Impacts Day roundup On Saturday May 5, our partners at 350.org brought together thousands of people at more than 1,000 events in more than 100 countries worldwide to connect the dots between climate change and the very real impacts of extreme weather happening right now. Some of the standout events from the day included: London occupiers connecting the dots between climate impacts, fossil fuels and finances, with a day of talks, games of ?extreme? Twister and film screenings. Underwater activists hold a banner in front of a damaged coral reef in the vulnerable Marshall Islands. Rising temperatures and increased CO2 uptake are raising the acidity of the ocean, which bleaches and ultimately kills fragile coral reefs. One hundred youth from the Jordan Valley, Amman, and Salt, gathered at the shores of the Dead Sea, organized by Friends of the Earth Middle East. They held balloons to symbolize the dramatic 26m drop in the Dead Sea water levels since the 1960s. The balloons were red, warning of the immediate need for action, and extended to different heights up to 26 meters, demonstrating the continuously declining water levels throughout the years.

Heather Libby TckTckTck Thu, 17 May 2012 10:12:31 +0100 http://tcktcktck.org/2012/05/expert-spotlight-kristin-casper-jury-member-for-date-with-history/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=expert-spotlight-kristin-casper-jury-member-for-date-with-history   As we race closer and closer to Rio+20, the TckTckTck team is pleased to share an interview with one of the advisors helping our partner organizations make the most of this environmental milestone. Kristin Casper is legal counsel for Greenpeace International. She advises on international environmental law and legal aspects of campaigning in the areas of climate change, energy, toxics, and water. She is advocating for countries to support the expansion of public participation rights and the recognition of the right to a clean and healthy environment at the 2012 Rio Earth Summit. In this interview she chats with us about her experiences at the 2002 Earth Summit in Johannesburg, her messages to youth attending Rio+20 and what she?d say to world leaders if she had 2 minutes to speak. TCK: You are a jury member for the Date with History competition, what struck you when you watched the videos from the finalists? KRISTIN CASPER: Many of the contributors called themselves global citizens. This perspective is essential for addressing global problems. For example, climate change impacts have no boundaries. They do not need visas or travel documents. One country?s pollution devastates and can destroy a nation thousands of miles away. While governments are failing to cooperate in reaching an agreement that will prevent current and future climate damage, today?s youth are connecting online and in the streets to demand climate action. These global citizens will overcome today?s global problems. TCK: Are there any common themes or highlights from the various speeches that you can expand on? KRISTIN CASPER: A few words that describe all of the finalists: hopeful, intelligent, passionate, concerned, and action-oriented. Let me give three concrete examples: With dictionaries and books in the background, Timothy from Ghana gave a comprehensive overview of the unfulfilled commitments made by governments 20 years ago. His intellectual prowess will make him a future sustainability leader in Ghana and beyond. Annie from the UK did not mince words. At the start of her video she solemnly stated that ?at the time I am 26 all of the Arctic ice may have melted.? This deeply concerned youth reminds us that harm is not in future. It is her generation that will bear the brunt of the imminent ecological collapse due to climate change. Yet the finalists all gave a vision of hope. Yugratna from India is a climate justice activist seeking to connect the dots between climate, power, poverty, energy, food, and water because these issues cannot be viewed in isolation. She reminds us that as children we ?raised trouble? to get what we wanted and that youthful spirit is still in us. Her speech made me want to take to the streets and demand action on climate change. TCK: You have previous experience of UN Sustainability conferences, can you tell us about your experience 10 years ago in Johannesburg and some of the challenges and triumphs from that time?  KRISTIN CASPER: One of the triumphs of our work ten years ago is the massive uptake of renewable energy (although not nearly the amount of what is required to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to a safe level). At the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development, I had the honor of speaking on behalf of Youth as a participant in the partnership plenary on renewable sources of energy, conservation, energy efficiency, and climate change. Youth seized this important platform to call on leaders to commit to a clean renewable energy standard, phase out of fossil fuel subsidies, and support the Kyoto Protocol. We are still waiting on them to phase out fossil fuel subsidies, they have promised to but there still is no date, no deadline. Before the 2002 World Summit, I posted a blog on Grist which contains the Youth demands from 10 years ago. We called on governments to make renewable energy account for 10 percent of all energy use by 2010. So where do we stand now? Renewable energy investment has reached record levels, an estimated $260 billion in 2011. Yet governments continue to encourage environmental and social destruction with close to US$ 1 trillion dollars-worth of harmful subsidies a year, covering everything from fossil fuels to fertilizers and fisheries. TCK: What were the challenges from that time? KRISTIN CASPER: Public participation was a challenge 10 years ago and remains one today. On several occasions, youth in Johannesburg were prevented from communicating to decision-makers and the media because of the unreasonable restrictions on our rights to freedom of expression and to peacefully assemble. For example, the youth delegation hosted by Greenpeace International was detained by South African police because they were allegedly demonstrating on (or next to BMW?s display) without permission, despite their attempts to get permission for several days. This did not stop Jan Pronk, the special envoy to the summit of the UN secretary-general, and Bob Brown, an Australian senator, from supporting the peaceful demonstration. Let?s hope the Brazilian and UN authorities will respect fundamental rights by providing youth ample opportunities to effectively communicate their demands to leaders and the media. The distance between citizens and leaders feels like it is increasing, feels like the walls are getting higher and the chance of getting heard smaller. Our leaders need to hear the voice of youth. They need to be reminded of those they hold the world in stewardship for. TCK: What should young people who are heading to Rio+20 expect and what advice would you give them? KRISTIN CASPER: Long days, long nights, and the possibility of a disappointing outcome. But, it will be a fun, exciting, and life changing experience. Participating in such a massive conference is like running a marathon. I know this because I?ve done both. I advise that you pace yourself and make sure to have lots of energy for the end when the leaders will be desperately trying to come to some publicly acceptable ?agreement.? The voice of the youth could potentially change the outcome, or call it like it is - a greenwashed outcome which fails to deliver the transformational change required to end the social and ecological ills of our time. As youth, it is important not to pretend to be diplomats. Don?t get bogged down in details and remember this is no time to accept compromise. This is your life we?re talking about. The conference will be a life changing event. You will meet people who will become life-long friends and mentors. It will solidify your commitment to work on social and environmental change. My vision to become an international environmental lawyer holding countries and corporations accountable took shape at the 2002 Summit. Looking back, it was a watershed moment for me, and I will be forever grateful for the experience I gained during those two weeks in Johannesburg. TCK: Rio+20 covers a number of issues and themes, some of which match Greenpeace campaign priorities such as Forests and Oceans. What are the Greenpeace expectations for this summit and what will you be communicating to your supporters around Rio+20? KRISTIN CASPER: At Rio+20, Greenpeace and other members of civil society will be telling governments about the Future We Want. In reality the Rio+20 conference will not deliver the transformative change needed. It will not place equity and ecology in the concert with economy to define the Future We Want: one that is healthy, wealthy, and fair. We will be telling our supporters that the future will not be dictated by a miscellany of world leaders in Rio over three days in June. We will be calling on people around the world to join the growing movements that understand the links between economy, equity and ecology. Without public pressure, consumer pressure, and active participation of informed and engaged citizens our future, our children?s future, sad to say will be bleak ? the choice is ours! TCK: If you have 2 minutes to tell the world about the future you want, what are some of the things you would say? KRISTIN CASPER: Seven months ago I gave birth to a beautiful little girl. This new life has made me even more committed to creating positive change. I want a future for my daughter that is fair, that is clean, that is green and that is sustainable. I?m a lawyer, so let me put this into a legal context. A clean and healthy environment is a basic human right. Human rights can?t be fully enjoyed if there is ongoing environmental degradation. And the problem of environmental degradation cannot be resolved unless countries take seriously the responsibility to protect, promote, and realize human rights. This past March, the UN Human Rights Council adopted a resolution on Human Rights & Environment establishing the role of an independent expert to identify and promote the best practices relating to the use of human rights obligations to strengthen environmental protection. Let?s see international recognition of the right to a clean and healthy environment. Every individual has the right to effectively participate in decision-making. The UNECE Convention on Access to Information, Public Participation in Decision-making and Access to Justice in Environmental has been described by Kofi Annan as ?the most ambitious venture in the area of ?environmental democracy? so far undertaken under the auspices of the United Nations.? The regional convention is playing an increasingly important role regionally and should be embraced globally. World leaders should support a global public participation convention. This future won?t be delivered by a last minute deal struck by negotiators. This future will be created by people (like those attending the Rio+20) in the streets, during side events, and at the ballot box back home. It was in Johannesburg where I met people who encouraged me to stand up for people and nature. I?m hopeful because there is a whole new generation of youth ready to lead us toward the future we all want and deserve.

Den Queens-fødte producer er en af de mest inflydelsesrige kunstnere nogensinde i hiphop og han har siden barndommen været en del af nogle af de mest legendariske øjeblikke i hiphoppen. Som 17-årig blev han hevet med i et studie hvor han skulle lave beats for den legendariske duo, Eric B & Rakim, som var i gang med deres ‘Let the Rhythm Hit ‘Em’-album. Det var også i denne forbindelse at han mødte en ung Nas, som på daværende tidspunkt var en ung aspirerende MC, som var signet hos MC Serch’s ‘Serchlite Publishing’. Large Professor skulle senere komme til at producere tracks på legendariske albums som bl.a. Nas’ “Illmatic”, ATCQ’s “Midnight Marauders”, Big Daddy Kane’s “Looks Like a Job For..” og har mange flere klassiske tracks på CV’et. Mange kender også Professoren for hans tid i gruppen ‘Main Source’ som med deres første plade, ‘Breaking Atoms’, opnåede en evig plads i hiphoppens gyldne æra. Tjek det klassiske billede nedenfor som stammer fra nogle af de første Illmatic-sessions. (Fra Venstre: Dj Premier, Q-Tip, Nas & Large Pro) Men nu vender Large Pro altså tilbage med hans seneste plade, ‘@ Large’, som dropper 26. Juni. Spritnye og brandvarme produktioner fra professoren og prominente gæster som f.eks. Busta Rhymes, Tradegy Khadafi, Action Bronson og Saigon.

Han har trænet hende til at kunne klare enhver situation, og hun dræber hurtigt og uden nåde. Ved filmens start sendes Hanna ud i verden for at udføre sin mission – at dræbe en cia-agent, som gennem alle årene har været på jagt efter Erik. Men selvom Hanna er den perfekte dræbermaskine, går det alligevel ikke helt efter planen, og snart er hun på en farefuld flugt gennem Europa. Hvis man er til actionfilm, er “Hanna” en sand fornøjelse. Her er masser af slagsmål og flotte forfølgelsesscener, og så er Saoirse Ronan, der spiller Hanna, ganske overbevisende. Plotmæssigt må jeg indrømme, at jeg synes, filmen bliver lidt rodet. Der smides en masse bolde op i luften, som aldrig rigtig forklares, og slutningen bliver lidt uforløst. Men kan man se bort fra det, får man flot action underholdning i et par timer.

I am 17 years old, and I?ve been a climate change activist ever since I was 12. I started my own non profit called Kids vs Global Warming when I was 13, was trained by Al Gore and The Climate Project when I was 14, and I?ve spent my entire teenaged life speaking out about climate change, calling for changes in our homes and communities, encouraging my peers to use energy efficient light bulbs and buy solar panels and even calling for a youth revolution to raise our voices against climate change. But recently I?ve been going through a much deeper level of awakening. I?m realizing that even though it?s incredibly important to reduce our carbon footprints and raise our voices, the issue is bigger than that. The reality is, we as a society value money, power, and convenience over nature and the survival of future generations. I believe that if we want to solve climate change, this mindset is what we need to shift. We need to learn to live as if our future matters. And this transition will take much more than changing light bulbs. The time has come for something big, something that will change the system at its very core. So, along with a group of other young leaders, and with the support of a few awesome lawyers, we are suing the government, for valuing short term interests over the wellbeing and survival of this and every generation to come. The case is based on a legal theory called Atmospheric Trust Litigation (ATL), developed by Professor Mary Wood at the University of Oregon. It?s founded on the Public Trust Doctrine and Commons Law, which are fundamental to the US Constitution. ATL basically states that our government has the legal responsibility to protect the atmosphere for present and future generations. We are asking that our leaders commit to a climate recovery plan based on the research of a group of the world?s top climate scientists, headed by Dr. James Hansen. At the hearing last month, the industry lawyers and the judge all agreed that this case is of national importance, and if we succeed, it will result in significant emissions reductions. We?re not asking for money, we?re not demanding power, we don?t want to take away the rights and privileges we have as Americans to make money... we are simply asking that our government begin to value the atmosphere as a public trust to be protected for future generations. This lawsuit actually has the chance to make a real measurable difference in the fight against climate change. It may at first seem like an insane losing battle... the entire fossil fuel industry and the US government against a handful of youth. But the reality is, this case is a fight between those who make money from the way things are and the entire youngest generation who will not. It?s profits vs. people; short term interests vs. the future of generations yet to come; greed vs. sustainability. In fact, we?re not even fighting ?against? the fossil fuel lobbyists at all, we are fighting for them. We?re fighting on behalf of their children. Yes, we are where we are today because of fossil fuels. Yes, I have a cell phone and electricity and hot water because of fossil fuels. I am extremely grateful for that. But the reality is... unfortunately for all of us, a society that depends on destroying our natural landscape and putting the lives of our children in danger, and can only cope with it by turning away from it; by shopping and watching TV and hiding in denial is, at the very core, a doomed society. And if we don?t break out of this sickness now, it?s going to be a difficult and painful future for all of us. The transition is possible. And this lawsuit actually has the potential to be the moment we?ve all been waiting for... the moment we can finally push past the politics and debate that?s keeping us hopelessly stuck, and get to the core of what is really at stake: the lives, hope, and happiness of every generation alive and yet unborn. This is a David vs. Goliath battle, the strong vs. the weak, the powerful vs. the underdogs... but in battles like this in the past, has Goliath ever actually won?
