Brief Project Description. The Contractor’s concept is to introduce into the marketplace a novel class of readily available and modest cost biodegradable material for carrier bags (of which there are various grades e.g. AP40, AP60, AP100, AP200) which has excellent mechanical strength and is seen as a replacement for polyethylene (PE) single use bags which currently dominate the market. The AP range of materials should make carrier bags totally acceptable as they are not only recyclable but end-of-life options include anaerobic digestion (AD) (e.g. with food and farm waste) or by combustion to recover energy. In addition, the material can be composted or digested with sewage waste (see Lot 1 Phase 2 submission). The project aims at consolidating and extending the concepts established in Lot 2 Phase 1. The main technical objectives include:

Brief Project Description. The Cockpit Country is Jamaica’s last remaining wilderness area with 50,000 acres of forest reserve, and large tracks of crown lands and private land holdings. The area experiences on average 250-380cm of rainfall annually (Windsor Research Centre), which recharges and supplies the main river systems. The heavy rainfall season of April - May and September - October account for 47% of the total annual rainfall. Climate change impacts in Jamaica and the Caribbean as a whole will lead to increasing climate variability, and stronger storms and cyclones against a backdrop of overall declines in rainfall (IPCC AR4). In the Cockpit country, this will lead to increased risk of flooding, which in turn will increase erosion risks and threaten lives and croplands. Stronger floods will destroy crop production in close proximity to fresh water systems, increase erosion, and will lead to increased contamination due to the larger uptake of agricultural chemicals and pollutants by higher flow levels. The Xxxxxx Brae watershed which falls within Cockpit Country encompasses several residential communities which are affected by flooding and are eager to xxxxx the impact of increased seasonal stream-flows in light of the ongoing and developing climate change impacts. Although the communities have seen some effect and benefit from the environmental projects in soil conservation, these benefits and their livelihoods are still at risk from the effects of climate change.

Brief Project Description. The study project will assess how the child, children and young people are portrayed in religious scriptures, are cared for, are ministered to and are treated in religious communities and how young people view themselves in their religious context. It will involve experts, such as religious scholars within their own religious traditions and related fields, as well as educators and practitioners, including young people. They will be selected from major world religions, including Buddhism, Christianity, East Asian religious traditions, Islam, Judaism, Indigenous traditions, and Hinduism. This selection, in this first phase of the project, is based on two criteria: contemporary demography and historical geographical spread. This choice is not comprehensive of the much broader diversity of religious traditions worldwide today, which a second phase of this project will address. This study seeks to examine how, over centuries, major world religions have developed their respective views on the child, including their rights and obligations, and how their communities (parents, family, educators, etc.) have internalized these norms. These norms will then be compared to those reflected in the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), which is fundamental for the scope of the study. The CRC sets the frame for the issues to be addressed in the study. Suggested aspects of the CRC as focus of the study are: ▪ freedom of expression, thought, conscience and religion ▪ protection and education ▪ health and access to clean physical and healthy environment ▪ the child’s right to a name and nationality ▪ participation and role as agents of change The study will provide information as well as tools and material addressing how religious communities relate to and can contribute to the implementation of the CRC. The overall outcome is envisaged as both a resource and an advocacy tool for a multitude of constituencies, most importantly for religious communities, religious and faith based NGOs and for UNICEF country offices. Several products will emanate from the overall outcome, including a manual with information for advocacy initiatives, leaflets on specific issues and ideas for discourses on specific issues. The study is about harnessing the resources and outreach of religious communities in support of children and to empower religious leaders, practitioners and young people to better effect change for children and young people. It is also about creating greater harmony and u...
Brief Project Description. The purpose of this traffic study is to compare the individual transportation concepts from both the current Regional Transportation Plan and the current Purdue Master Plan; and then provide future roadway recommendations based on the best individual concepts from each plan. The analysis will focus on the vehicular traffic operations of the major intersections that will impact the Xxxxxxxx Xxxx development district and the Perimeter Parkway phases 1A-2 and 1B (study areas #1, 2 and 3). The attached “Figure 1 - Intersections for Study Areas #1, 2 and 3” illustrates the intersections that will be analyzed for study areas #1, 2 and 3. The results of this study can be used as justification to amend the Regional Transportation Plan or the Purdue Master Plan if needed. In addition, the roadway design efforts for future phases of the proposed Perimeter Parkway will benefit from the consensus that would be made between the transportation concepts of each plan.
