15 Youth & Climate Change Amanda Katili Niode, Ph.D In her presentation, Dr Amanda emphasizes on the challenges that the world is facing now in terms of Climate Change, which becomes a sensitive topic in different parts of the world and discussed in high levels like UN agencies. She outlined some crucial points: The impact of Climate Change due to the two main categories of human activities: Use of resources at unsustainable levels, and Contamination of the environment through pollution and waste at all levels beyond the capacity of the environment to absorb them or render them harmless. Where do Greenhouse gazes come from? There are many ways that help the Greenhouse Gazes emission: coal mining, coal plants, crop burning, industrial agriculture, fertilization, land transportation, landfills, forest burning, oil production, melting permafrost. These factors can cause many effects to warm the earth and heat it. Dr Amanda stated major effects of the Green House: Most of the radiation is absorbed by the earth and warm it Some energy is radiated back in to space by earth in the form of infrared waves. Some of this outgoing infrared radiation is trapped by the earth s atmosphere and warms it. Climate Change Indicators: Carbon dioxide emission Earth average temperature. Ice melt. Sea level rise. To face Climate Change, according to Dr Amanda, there are two ways: Adaptation by developing ways to protect people and places by reducing their vulnerability to climate change impacts and increasing their resilience to the global climate change. To protect against sea level rise and increased flooding, communities might build seawalls or relocate buildings to higher ground; and Mitigation, which attempts to slow the process of global climate change, usually by lowering the level of greenhouse gazes in the atmosphere and reducing emission from human activities. Also, planting trees that absorb CO2 from the air and store it is an example of one of such strategy. CE *%

16 The last part of her presentation was focused on the contribution of Youth to face such environmental crises, because youth also have voice in this issue, their future is in danger. She came up with main activities that youth people and youth are doing, such: Training program Spheres of influence Inconvenient Youth (13-18 years old) Mentor Carbon Footprint Calculator Youth participation at the Conference of Parties (COP) Educational forums Meet public figures Talk to the Media Competition (Climate Change Movie Competition) CF *&

17 Biodiversity & Conservation Jatna Supriatna, Ph.D Biodiversity provides invaluable life support services, raw natural resources, and cultural necessities ranging from recreation to spiritual. Moreover, they are literally economically priceless. It is widely appreciated that biodiversity is good and that ultimately, human wellbeing and persistence will depend on our ability to preserve it for future generations. Bio diverse ecosystems, however, are not evenly distributed on our planet they are patchy and concentrated in tropical regions. Likewise, costs and benefits of conserving biodiversity are not evenly distributed. Our ability to conserve biological diversity is constrained by global trends of exploitation, pollution, and habitat loss - all increasing because of human population growth. Unfortunately, areas of accelerating human population growth overlap many areas of highest biodiversity where resources to protect biodiversity are fewest and land-conversion pressures greatest. As humans expand and become more numerous, we are faced with even more pressing needs to conserve and protect diverse ecosystems. A recent review confirmed that forest cover and amount of species within protected areas are being lost in all major tropical forest areas and that protected areas are becoming increasingly isolated from each other because of human disturbance and forest clearing. While many species are losing due to habitat clearing, poaching and over-exploitation, efforts to save has been halted due to conflicts with our efforts to alleviate poverty. But because species extinction is an absorbing boundary (i.e., there is no short-term recovery), overexploitation passes accumulating ecosystem failures and worsening situations on to future generations. It is therefore defensible to protect biodiversity from unsustainable exploitation, even when such protection necessitates contemporary sacrifice in order to conserve intact ecosystems for the future. Dr Jatna used the Indonesia case as an example, because it is considered as one of the top mega diversity countries, together with brazil and Colombia in South America need to collaborate more to use this comparative advantages to beciome their assets for Sustainable Development. At the same time, he focused on the Biodiversity ecosystems, which are not eventually distributed, patchily, and mostly in the tropics. It is constrained by global trends exploitation, pollution and habitat loss. He also considered that keeping synergy between development and protection of environment especially in the mega biodiversity countries will benefit both, especially using environmental education and researches, local economy incentives, equitable sharing of natural resources, transparent land-use planning, enforcement regulation and careful implementation strategies.

20 Movie Show During the night of the World Environment Day, an interesting movie was shown to the participants. Internationally renowned photographer Yann Arthus-Bertrand makes his feature directorial debut with this environmentally conscious documentary produced by Luc Besson, and narrated by Glenn Close. Shot in 54 countries and 120 locations over 217 days, Home presents the many wonders of planet Earth from an entirely aerial perspective. As such, we are afforded the unique opportunity to witness our changing environment from an entirely new vantage point. In our 200,000 years on Earth, humanity has hopelessly upset Mother Nature's delicate balance. Some experts claim that we have less than ten years to change our patterns of consumption and reverse the trend before the damage is irreversible. Produced to inspire action and encourage thoughtful debate, Home poses the prospect that unless we act quickly, we risk losing the only home we may ever have.

21 World Scout Environment Programme Lucy Mace, UK The presentation provided a general overview of the World Scout Environment Programme with emphasis on the principles and aims for environment education in Scouting, the World Scout Environment Badge and SCENES. The aim of the presentation was to encourage National Scout Organizations to adopt the World Scout Environment Programme and to provide support to those National Scout Organizations that have already adopted the programme. A PowerPoint presentation was used to deliver the session. This presentation was made available to the participants after the seminar. A question and answer session was used to discuss specific points raised by the presentation. This generated discussion amongst the participants on issues relating to the World Scout Environment Programme including examples of the practical application of the programme. The seminar provided a valuable opportunity to gather together National Scout Organizations at different stages in the application of the World Scout Environment Programme. This enabled discussion of experiences, challenges and opportunities to take place. The attitude of the seminar participants was of positive action for environment education and as a result of coming together and sharing their experiences and ideas, the Asia Pacific Region has a strong environment action plan to take forward for the benefit of Scouting.

22 Educational Tour Participants of the International Seminar Environment Education and Biodiversity had the chance to visit Bogor Presidential Palace and Bogor Botanical Garden-two famous places in Bogor, Indonesia. The Bogor Presidential Palace was built during the Dutch period, it was rebuilt at 1745 after it was destroyed by earthquake and renovated in The palace is used for state functions. On the palace ground is a roam chital deer introduced from India and some old trees shading the ground. There is a beautiful Bogor Botanical Garden at the backyard of the palace. The Dutch East India Company established it in Thomas Stamford Raffles, Lieutenant-Governor of Java had the garden relandscaped in C.G.C. Reindwardt, then Director of Agriculture, Arts and Sciences in Java, raised the status of the garden to be a Botanical Garden in During the Dutch period, Botanical Garden played major roles in research on spices and other importance economic plant species. Bogor Botanical Garden conserves a large number of tropical plant species in the world. Since 2001 Bogor Botanical Garden increased its status as a Centre for Plant Conservation, due to rapid loss of Indonesian plant species. At least 19 new Botanical Gardens recently established are scattered in various places in Indonesia. Many trees in Bogor Botanical Garden are over 100 years old, and some of them are as big as the biggest trees in a virgin tropical forest. Some of them it also no longer exist in nature. Bogor Botanical Garden is really a last house of many Indonesian endangered plant species. Participants also visited Botanic Square and Bogor City Hall. Some exhibition of traditional handicrafts, and traditional dance were performed at Botanic Square to celebrate the 529 th Bogor City Anniversary. Bogor Scouts entertainment showed their capability to play traditional music, dance and other art creativities at the City Hall. The mayor of the city hall hosted participant dinner. Participants learned history of Bogor Presidential Palace and saw the decorative cultural acculturation of the Palace building. The history showed the importance International relation to establish a better future for peoples and nations. A slide show presentation was introduced Bogor Botanical Garden s past, present and future. The short presentation took place at the Guest House that was built in 1884 and formerly the residence of Director of the Garden. Participants visited some of Botanical Garden sights as Canarium Avenue, Bamboo Garden, Teysman Garden, Shade plants, Giant Trees, Ferns and Pandanus Garden, Cycad Garden, Cactus Garden, Mexican Garden, Palm Gardens, Climbers trees, Water Garden, Astrid Avenue, and Orchid House. Cultural exhibition was shown at Botanic Square and the City Hall. Bogor Presidential Palace and Botanical Garden were chosen to be the place for educational tour for their relevance to the subject of the seminar. The key words are: history, education, environment, biodiversity, conservation and culture. Bogor Presidential Palace was chosen because it is a place for International High Level Meeting. The palace kept a history of Soekarno, former President of Republic Indonesia, and other Presidents of Indonesia. Bogor Botanical Garden was chosen because of: - Historical brief of South East Asia for spice trade over then 300 years with Europeans. - Collection of plants for economic importance by the Dutch East India Company - Plant Conservation area, research, education program for people and the student.

23 Environment Partnerships Farouk Bouraoui, Development support Manager WOSM/APR Scouting does not exist in isolation; it is part of the community and it needs to work in partnership with others, from individuals to organizations and institutions at local, national and world levels (The Strategy of Scouting). Mr Farouk Bouraoui highlighted the importance of the partnership in Scouting at all levels, and all participants were interested to know how to link, to develop and to sustain the partnership of their NSOs with other partners mainly the environment partners. Marrakech Charter was the main source of this concern, because it states that development education (including peace education) and community involvement need to be integrated into Youth Programme particularly the progressive training scheme. To implement the partnership, it is important to: Identify the needs and aspirations of the youth people in each community; Involve the young people in all stages of the partnership activities, and Consider the patrol as a basic cell.

24 Partners of WOSM The UN Environment Programme provides leadership and encourages partnership in caring for the environment by inspiring, informing, and enabling nations and peoples to improve their quality of life without compromising that of future generations. Clean Up the World is one of the largest community-based environmental campaigns in the world. The World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM) has been an Ally with Clean Up the World since Held in conjunction with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), an estimated 35 million volunteers from 120 countries are now taking part annually, including many National Scout Organizations (NSOs). To visit the website: To register the activities: The Alcoa Foundation and the World Organization for Scout Movement have announced a joint program promoting sustainability awareness through a worldwide environmental educational Scouting program. The program was initially rolled out in five European countries, and they were funded by a two-year $205,000 grant from the Alcoa Foundation. The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), formerly the World Wildlife Fund, is a global environmental conservation organization. The mission statement of WWF is: To stop the degradation of the planet's natural environment and to build a future in which humans live in harmony with nature, by: Conserving the world's biological diversity Ensuring that the use of renewable natural resources is sustainable Promoting the reduction of pollution and wasteful consumption. WWF often partners with the local community, civil society organizations or the corporate sector to accomplish its goals. The Volvo Adventure - in partnership with the United Nations Environment Programme - is an educational programme that rewards environmental activities and the decision-makers of the future. To enter, you form a team of 2 to 5 members aged 13 to 16 (at competition opening - July 1st 2009). Perform an environmental project in your local community & submit the project via our online submission tool before the competition deadline, January 31st What is effective partnership? To develop an evaluation as objective and standardized as possible, it is necessary to clearly define what will be considered and an effective partnership within WOSM. To do this, three steps approach was being proposed: Step one: determine the different areas that will analyzed within each partnership to determine its effectiveness. Step two: identify a list of indicators and specific criteria, under each of one these areas, that relate to partnership effectiveness. A> "$
