The document is a manifesto resulting from a 2021 symposium organized by the World Council of Churches and the World Association for Christian Communication. It argues that while digital technologies offer opportunities for inclusion and advocacy, they are currently marred by monopolies, surveillance, and systemic biases that exacerbate existing social inequities. The text calls for a transformative movement to establish a communication ecosystem based on social justice, emphasizing the need for equitable access, data privacy, and the protection of marginalized voices. It specifically highlights the intersection of digital justice with gender, climate, and racial justice, and advocates for the 'Right to Repair' and sustainable power sources to enable digital access.

The StratKIT Sustainability Toolkit provides a comprehensive set of practical tools and strategies to transition public catering services toward more sustainable practices. It focuses on eight 'Gateways' including organic food, plant-based diets, food waste reduction, and resource efficiency, while emphasizing the role of Green Public Procurement (GPP) as a primary driver for systemic change in the food supply chain.

The report analyzes over 400,000 social media posts to identify how vaccine disinformation in Germany is spread through interconnected networks of right-wing extremists, conspiracy theorists, and proponents of alternative medicine. It identifies six primary narratives used to undermine trust in vaccines and health institutions, noting a significant increase in followers on platforms like Telegram and Instagram. The study highlights the transition of online disinformation into offline violence and protests, while recommending the involvement of general practitioners as trusted messengers to counter these trends.

The report 'Together for Safety 21 Ways Forward' outlines strategies for urban leaders to combat extremism and polarisation, exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic. It identifies trends such as the 'gamification of extremism' and the use of conspiracy theories by right-wing and jihadist groups to target minorities and youth. The document provides 21 guiding principles across four themes: preventing extremism post-pandemic, countering online hate, securing public spaces, and empowering youth. Key recommendations include adopting evidence-based 'hot spot mapping', investing in youth-led organisations, and strengthening mental health initiatives to build community resilience.

The document examines the intersection of the COVID-19 pandemic, climate change, and urban inequality, proposing six priority solutions to build climate-resilient and equitable cities. It highlights how the pandemic exposed systemic vulnerabilities, particularly for the urban poor in informal settlements, and argues that adaptation investments offer high benefit-cost ratios (2:1 to 10:1) and local job creation. Proposed solutions include upgrading poor settlements, building water resilience, advancing nature-based solutions, creating knowledge networks, enhancing devolved funding, and fostering peer-to-peer city collaboration.

The Digital Justice Manifesto, launched by the Just Net Coalition, calls for the reclamation of digital power from 'intelligence corporations'. It proposes 16 principles centered on the individual and collective ownership of data, the treatment of key digital infrastructures as public utilities, and the democratic governance of datafication from a local-to-global perspective.

The author argues that the disproportionate fame of Greta Thunberg, the "Greta effect", is a symptom of a system that privileges white activists from the Global North while marginalising activists of colour. This bias extends from media coverage—where people of colour are often stereotyped as victims or erased entirely—to environmental policymaking, where the exclusion of marginalised voices leads to projects that harm indigenous and minority communities. The document advocates for an intersectional approach to climate action to address these power imbalances and ensure that those most affected by climate change can own their narratives and influence policy.

The document defines 'resource adequacy' as the availability of all necessary resources—including generation, demand-side resources, and interconnection—to meet electricity demand. It outlines how RAAs can be used by campaigners to argue against the need for coal or gas plants and to challenge the legality of capacity mechanisms. It contrasts the limited, non-binding RAA rules of the 2009 Third Energy Package with the more legally binding framework introduced by the recast Electricity Regulation from 2020, which requires the consideration of interconnection and regional adequacy.

The document explains that consumption-based emissions inventories (CBEIs) capture the full carbon footprint of a city by including emissions from goods and services produced outside city borders. It identifies that for wealthy, industrialized cities, CBEIs are often significantly higher than territorial inventories. The guide details three main estimation approaches: spending data with input-output models, physical data with life-cycle analysis, and hybrid methods. It advises city planners to align their choice of methodology with their specific goals, such as resident education, peer comparison, or local policy design, while emphasizing the importance of detailed categorization to identify high-leverage areas for emissions reduction.

The author argues that terrorism in Europe is primarily 'home grown' and driven by individuals who feel 'uprooted'. The text criticizes the 'war on terror' approach, stating that disproportionate repression breeds further terrorism and threatens democratic freedoms. It suggests that while intelligence and security measures are necessary to foil immediate plots, the long-term solution lies in mending the 'social fabric' and addressing global instabilities and Western geopolitical abuses that fuel extremist narratives.

The document details the requirements for German buildings to qualify for Certified Climate Bonds, focusing on low carbon emissions trajectories and market proxies. For residential buildings, eligibility is based on an EPC rating of "A" or "B" from the Energieausweis system. Commercial buildings can qualify via a proxy—requiring they be built after 2008, hold an EPC rating, and be part of an existing MBS refinancing pool—or by meeting a specific emissions intensity trajectory. In Berlin, for example, a 10-year commercial bond issued in 2018 requires an emissions intensity of 56.23kg CO2e/m2 or below. All trajectories aim for zero emissions by 2050 and are aligned with the Paris Agreement goals.

The paper proposes using agent-based modeling (ABM) to unify the study of tourism and migration under a single 'population mobility' framework. It highlights how both are driven by the pursuit of wellbeing and are increasingly influenced by global environmental change. The author details how ABM's ability to handle agent heterogeneity, internal decision-making complexity, and social interactions makes it ideal for simulating complex social-ecological systems. The discussion explores common challenges, such as the 'sense of invasion' felt by locals in mass tourism hubs like Venice and Barcelona, and the role of migration as a legitimate adaptation strategy to climate change. The paper concludes that a combined perspective can better address economic sustainability, cultural identity preservation, and the impacts of global environmental change on human movement.

The document outlines five key strategies for governments to foster private investment in energy-efficient buildings: ensuring policy stability, aggregating projects to achieve scale, adopting standardized certifications and data, tailoring approaches to different market segments, and implementing sequenced policy packages. It highlights that while investors see opportunities in energy infrastructure, they require predictable outcomes and reduced transaction costs to commit capital.

The document outlines the intersection of climate change and public health in Canada, highlighting risks such as extreme heat, wildfires, and food insecurity, particularly in the Arctic and among Indigenous populations. It advocates for a rapid phase-out of coal-powered electricity by 2030, the implementation of a National Active Transport Strategy, and the integration of Health Impact Assessments into federal environmental processes to mitigate health risks and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The 'Climate Visuals' report presents seven core principles for communicating climate change visually, derived from a combination of structured discussion groups in London and Berlin and an international online survey of 3,014 participants from the UK, Germany, and the US.

The document outlines a diverse landscape of climate financing for cities, categorised into local internal revenues, external third-party sources, and international funds. Local options include property and land taxes, user fees, development charges, and Tax Increment Financing (TIF), as well as 'intracting' for energy retrofits. External sources feature Energy Performance Contracting (EPC), green bonds, and crowdfunding. International support is available through climate funds like the Green Climate Fund (GCF) and Global Environment Facility (GEF), Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs), and philanthropic organisations, though the authors note that most international funds require cooperation with national governments due to strict fiduciary and creditworthiness standards. The guide emphasizes that while international funds are necessary for large-scale projects, local sources foster greater municipal autonomy and sustainability.

The author compares current anti-Muslim sentiment in Germany to the antisemitism of the 1920s and 30s, citing figures like Heinz Buschkowsky and Alice Schwarzer as contributors to a climate of demonization. The text asserts that this rhetoric fuels violence, such as attacks on mosques, and supports movements like Pegida. It concludes by demanding that politicians recognize Islamophobia as racism and that media outlets stop publishing anti-Muslim content.

The author draws parallels between the antisemitic propaganda of the 1920s and 30s and contemporary Islamophobia in Germany, specifically citing the rhetoric used against Muslims in the Neukölln district of Berlin and by groups like Pegida. The text highlights a rise in violence, including the burning of mosques in Germany and Sweden, and calls for political leaders and media editors to recognize Islamophobia as a form of racism. It promotes the Salaam-Schalom Initiative as a model for peaceful coexistence between Jewish, Muslim, and migrant communities.

The author compares current anti-Muslim rhetoric in Germany, including statements by public figures and the activities of the Pegida movement, to the anti-Semitic propaganda used during the Third Reich. The text asserts that the demonization of Muslims and migrants as 'others' leads to real-world violence, such as attacks on mosques. It advocates for politicians to recognize Islamophobia as racism and for media editors to stop publishing anti-Muslim content to ensure peaceful co-existence.

The 2014 International Solar Decathlon at Versailles showcased sustainable housing designs from over 20 universities globally. The event emphasized the synergy between innovative products, such as polyisocyanurate insulation, and student ingenuity in addressing energy efficiency and urban retrofitting. Notable projects included Appalachian State University's modular town home, the Berlin Rooftop Project's use of abandoned roof space, and Delft University's 'second skin' for poorly insulated Dutch townhomes.
