Urban Development the biggest Disaster of all.

Urban Development a public health disaster even bigger than the comet (Extra-terrestrial Hazard, Airburst). A truly human-resistant virus. Birth into death. Planners and developers competing with each other to create more and more space into place, next on the agenda is floating cities. More and more urban heat islands are warming the planet.

• How are developers not conditioned to mitigate their carbon footprint impact created?

United Nation and all programmes linked are not dealing with #degrowth in a serious way.

As humanity has expedited 85% of all land in/of the natural environment. Was the number 50% in 1970 I believe? This is 50 years of environmental rape through mass consumption.

The #SDGs will have suffered a mortal blow if the world does not get to grip with increasingly systemic nature of disaster risk, including health. The #COVID19 is a wake-up call, that normal is not covering our ‘Needs’!

BIG WARNING The single largest CC hazard due to “loss of land” is man-made urban development, criminal land grabbing and deforestation, this is not listed as a risk to land in “Making Cities Resilient”. Urban development, criminal land grabbing or deforestation is not even listed as Anthropogenic Main Hazards.

This disturbing confirmation of an unprecedented catastrophe in the making should be a wake-up call to the #G20 countries to assume leadership in this age of #CORONA before it’s too late. The world has to start reducing greenhouse gas emissions now.

 

Land loss

Re-wilding programme is large-scale conservation aimed at restoring and protecting natural processes and core wilderness areas, providing connectivity between such areas, and protecting or reintroducing apex predators and keystone species

The problem we don’t have the #climatespacetime. Every restoration back to wild will take as long time as it took to destroy it, micro-climating is a very delicate thing. There is a global conservation movement to restore Earth’s land into 50% wilderness, one lung of the planet. So 50 years from now is 2070, not a day later. Many more resonance restoration re-recoveries to follow the decades up to year 2070 and beyond… as many as needed.

Look inbound and focus on the word Unification what it means and how to achieve immediate results with rational resilience decision making.

The rule is: For every land developed two Lands must be rewilded. Understand #SDG18, the economic impact of Disaster and the need for Risk investments in developing Resilience.

Why does this make financial sense, and what is the business case? – Lots of high-density residential buildings – less likely to promote future infection.

– No budget, or no protection of the budget, for fighting urban growth disaster. – Potential sources of finance not tapped. – Accounting for use of funds is weak.

Look outbound for actions to achieve maximum development resilience: Identify and develop financial mechanisms, that can support resilience activities. Ring-fenced budget, local & national revenues + public partnerships Provide incentives in #togethernessship, Governance Integrated Planning and Preparation Response

Trying to cross-bridge health risk resilience with urban climate disaster in regional governance.

ARREST WARRANT #ClimateCriminal

This is embarrassing, I’m issuing an arrest warrant for Tony Page and Louise Gibbon for unlawfully submitting Reading’s New Local Plan to proceed to adoption with adopted main modifications.

“Over 200 towns and cities in the UK have in 2019 declared #climateemergency!

Climate Change Centre Reading – CCCRdg just had it confirmed, that #Reading’s New Local Plan #NLP (2016-2036) final modifications are based on #NPPF2012 not #NPPF2018 #NPPF2019!!!

Final report over Reading New Local Plan 2017-36 / Adopted Main Modifications;

http://www.reading.gov.uk/media/10392/Final-Inspectors-Report-24092019/pdf/Final_Inspectors_Report_24092019.pdf

Why the hell is this the case?? It’s a complete scam. After years of consultations on #climatechange. Proposals, advice and objections identifying the most important neighbourhood planning and policy issues facing our society which have been ignored.

All planning climate criminals in the SEPT committee #RBC should be h-d. I’m sorry for the wording, but that is exactly how I feel.

I refuse to believe team Tony Page and partner in crime Louise Gibbon are that stupid, idiots to go against #science.

I expect a written apology to the residents of Reading, on how to completely revamp the Reading New Local Plan to be fit for future.

It’s totally unbelievable that the SEPT committee (RBC) are trying to get away with the New Local Plan proceed to adoption in accordance with a pre-climate framework and 5 years old sustainability appraisals (these are being consulted on now).

Can someone please explain how this can happen in 2019. Can anyone with legal skills stop this coupe at this very final stage.

What is needed before is an honest re-assessed New Local Plan in accordance with an up-to-date planning framework and the new sustainability appraisals assessments, BEFORE it proceed to adoption!

Further on, four requirements of the New Local Plan must be synergised with;

  • – The RBC internal climate emergency toolkit
  • – The Sustainable Development Goals and Agenda 2030
  • – The global New Urban Agenda, SDG 11

Finally the Local Plan must be risk assessed to prove disaster resilience.

Greta Rebellion Alarm 30 NOV – #FridaysforFuture

We must change ourselves.

Why should I study for a future that is not available?

To all of you out there: it’s time for civil disobedience. It’s time to rebel.

What you do now, we, the children, cannot change when we grow older.

 

Many say Sweden is a minor nation and that what we do does not matter. But if some school students can make world news just because we skipped school for a few days – imagine what we can accomplish if we all work in Togethernessship.
Every person counts. Just like any greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). Each SINGLE GHG kilo. Everything counts in large amounts. So, please treat the climate crisis as the emergency crisis it is and give us a
future.
– Our lives was in your hands.

The adults have failed us. And since most of them, including the press and the politicians, keep ignoring the situation, we must take action into our own hands.

 

The Earth is not dying, it’s being killed. And the people killing it have names and addresses.

We are the Government and we are here to help.

Maybe if the people in power listened to the climate scientists and took action to stop dangerous climate change then we wouldn’t have to resort to all become climate activists.

What is the point in expecting kids to study science and logic in school and go onto STEM based professions when our government won’t even listen to and act on the advice of the World’s top scientists?

We’re choosing to no longer be powerless. We will be striking with thousands of other students, to show we will not stand for our government’s inaction on climate change – Well be voting soon.

Im striking for school consider it a climate lesson.

We need to keep fossil fuels in the ground if we are to have any hope of a safe climate.

Young people will face the consequences of climate change long after the current political leaders are gone. They aren’t going to be around when climate change hits us the most so we need to be doing something now.
This is just the beginning.

 

Some said I should be in school. But why should any young person be made to study for a future when no one is doing enough to save that future? What is the point of learning when the most important facts given by the finest scientists are ignored by our politicians?

This is not a warning it’s an Alarm of the future of humanity.

Our leaders are behaving like children, turning parliaments into kindergarten schoolyards, we will have to take the responsibility they should have taken long ago,” she said. “We have to understand what the older generation has dealt to us, what mess they have created that we have to clean up and live with. We have to make our voices heard.

 

Wise statements by Greta Thunberg, you cannot argue against

Global Call; Support Climate Strike every Friday
https://tvb-climatechallenge.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/30-NOV.pdf

Greta Thunberg is the the schoolgirl who, following Sweden’s hottest summer ever, decided to go on school strike and sit in front of the parliament to get politicians to act on #climatechange and align with the #ParisAgreement. Read her messages on #climateaction at #COP24.

Restoring Hope: Rethink & Re-imagine Our #Cities – Adopt #SDGDRR – #SDG18

World Urban Forum Bulletin: RESTORING HOPE: BUILDING BACK CITIES AND COMMUNITIES TOGETHER AFTER DISASTER:

David Evans, UN-Habitat, opened the session. Explaining that, ‘our actions should build on the resilience of people,’ he warned that excluding those affected by disasters during rebuilding will cause unintended harm. In his keynote address, Robert Glasser, UN International Strategy for Disaster Reduction, noted that lack of knowledge and financial capacity leads to disaster vulnerability – gaps that can be filled through implementing the Sendai Framework on Disaster Risk Reduction. Moderator Sri Husnaini Sofjan, Huairou Commission, invited panellists from Haiti, Iran, Mexico, Mozambique, Nepal and the Philippines to share their experiences of how they responded to disasters in their country. Panellists highlighted the importance of conducting training schemes for masons and engineers, and enabling affected populations to actively participate in rebuilding their communities following a disaster. Many underscored the importance of disaster preparedness.
 
Hans Guttman, Asian Disaster Preparedness Centre, moderated a second panel in the session. Panellists from the European Commission, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, the UN Development Programme, and the World Bank called for increased engagement with those affected by disasters and recognition of their agency, emphasising the need for accountability, coordination and across all sectors and levels. Several added that time-sensitive preparedness plans are crucial, and the European Commission questioned how to ‘build back’ not just from natural disasters but from man-made disasters caused by civil war.
 
Audience members called for the inclusion of grassroots leaders, and particularly women, in disaster recovery, emphasising their roles as agents of change #SDGDRR#SDG18
