Dear Sustainable Agriculture and Natural Resources Mana,

Jamaica Workshop_Shak [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001XpnPhXNhCTiTI5BPZL_ebLWYpFHJPIPVLNPqsJut6X-ZGnsv0mve4bkfjMP8PaBodw_TttYqu8QitLsepR-n0-qGdN52CgRvquzlA5fplNTzYk5T-hkb_g==]

Last week, my colleague Mark Konold and I traveled to Kingston, Jamaica, where we
held a day-long stakeholder consultation workshop in partnership with the country's
Ministry of Science, Technology, Energy & Mining. There, we presented early results
from our ongoing project, Designing and Communicating Low-Carbon Energy Roadmaps
 for Small-Island States in the Caribbean [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001XpnPhXNhCTi4eyPojycr5um8cQm1r-Qijy4AW5MzjjV8TKvTg4-cNW6N_FQtrGYCCehNyVLPe364EMaqt1aQ3oFa19uRSfbLh3XwGvp3wJt2JsPyi7PnNCfz5Qb8__uq7TQ-baWGz9_dmjdsf1vFsy4k_iZ49aVF_1T8BKXd1ExpktYeqB8DRQ==]----including
renewable resource assessments, socioeconomic analyses, and policy and finance recommendations.

The meeting was attended by high-level government officials, representatives from
the energy industry, renewable energy experts, and other in-country stakeholders.
Speaking at the workshop, State Minister Hon. Julian Robinson told participants 
that he and the Ministry "are committed to having 30 percent of our energy mix from
renewable sources by the year 2030."

Following the success of our low-carbon roadmap for the Dominican Republic [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001XpnPhXNhCTi3MQf2U6Mpn9hk9E_qc7Ez1LYL6tDmvOJIsFfg0e1SwJN0WTI_cWMGW-dgdFAn-A-_pl3yqc2jJgmjuB5AfdteRIFoDPO0b5jT1l65vW6LuKVnrZid0zXWpxmg87eQy-s=],
Worldwatch is currently designing a Sustainable Energy Roadmap for the Jamaican 
government, which will enable decision makers in the country to better harness renewable
energy sources and utilize solid socioeconomic data to bring about an energy future
for the country that is economically, socially, and environmentally more sustainable.
The workshop allowed us to update our government and civil society partners on the
project's progress and served as an opportunity to solicit feedback from participants
to ensure that our roadmap provides practical and politically feasible recommendations.

The project is supported by the German Ministry of the Environment's International
Climate Initiative. You can get more regular updates on the project page [http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001XpnPhXNhCTi4eyPojycr5um8cQm1r-Qijy4AW5MzjjV8TKvTg4-cNW6N_FQtrGYCCehNyVLPe364EMaqt1aQ3oFa19uRSfbLh3XwGvp3wJt2JsPyi7PnNCfz5Qb8__uq7TQ-baWGz9_dmjdsf1vFsy4k_iZ49aVF_1T8BKXd1ExpktYeqB8DRQ==]

This summer, record temperatures and limited rainfall parched vast areas of U.S.
 cropland, and with Earth's surface air temperature projected to rise 0.69 degrees
Celsius by 2030, global food production will be even more unpredictable. Although
agriculture is a major driver of human-caused climate change, contributing an estimated
25 to 30 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, when done sustainably it can
be an important key to mitigating climate change, according to the latest Worldwatch
Report, Innovations in Sustainable Agriculture: Supporting Climate-Friendly Food
 Production.

Ever since the 2009 Copenhagen climate talks, downplaying expectations ahead of 
a United Nations climate change conference has become somewhat of a ritual. The 
latest such conference in Doha, which started last week, is no exception. With such
a disconcerting lack of political urgency, one could easily come to the conclusion
that human-caused climate disruption isn't much of an existential threat. But over
the past year, climate change has shown that it has little intention to wait for
 the talks to end before unleashing its devastating effects.

experience suggests that environmental and resource pressures, including climate
 change, could become an important driver of displacement. And while deep-seated
 popular discontent over decades of repressive rule surely is a key driver of Syria's
civil war, climate-induced pressures have added fuel to the fire. We are reminded
now, as we were in the Arab Spring of 2011, that the repercussions from environmental
degradation do not occur in a void, but rather interact with a cauldron of pre-existing
societal pressures and problems.

There is a dark side to the green economy, according to researchers with the STEPS
Centre, a U.K.-based interdisciplinary research and policy center. They suggest 
that land and resources in developing countries are increasingly being transferred
from the poor to the powerful in the name of "green" economic development, ranging
from efforts to promote biofuels, to carbon-offset schemes, to conservation and 
ecotourism initiatives. This rapidly growing practice of "green grabbing" is forcing
people to leave their homes and their land, and is responsible for increasing poverty
worldwide.
