" #Global and #regional data demonstrate that #women are more at #risk from #climatechange impacts than #men. This is not because women are naturally more susceptible to #natural #hazards, resulting #disasters or #health #crises. Instead, it is the stubborn structural barriers to #equality based on harmful #gender #stereotypes and #inequality of #power in decision making that increase women’s vulnerability, reducing their opportunities to build #resiliency."

Disasters Affect Us All, Differently

Evidence of women’s increased vulnerability is in the pre-existing social and cultural demands on women and girls as primary caregivers with the imbalanced responsibilities for care of the elderly, children and the sick. This care work increases in the immediate aftermath of a disaster and continues long after.

So, the @AgroecologyMap hasn't posted in a while... I do hope they return to Mastodon. Meanwhile, they do have a cool website that highlights #Agroecology projects around the world, and have an excellent resource page...

Romania to strengthen climate-resilient water networks with EIB advisory support

The European Investment Bank (EIB) will advise its Romanian counterpart on strengthening water networks across the country. Under a new advisory services agreement, the EIB will provide advisory support and capacity building to the Romanian Investment and Development Bank (BID) to advance  climate-resilient water and wastewater infrastructure in Romania. Romania plans to upgrade ageing water infrastructure to address increasing climate risks – including more frequent droughts and floods – while ensuring compliance with European Union environmental legislation. The advisory accord was signed today at the annual EIB Forum in Luxembourg and stems from a request by the BID, which is seeking to reinforce its capacity to assess, structure and monitor water projects that enhance long-term climate resilience. The EIB is one of the world’s largest multilateral investors in the water industry and has long been a major supporter of Romanian initiatives in the sector. The new agreement with EIB Advisory will strengthen the BID’s role as a national financial intermediary, helping translate Romania’s climate-adaptation and water-management strategies into bankable investments fully aligned with EU legislation and EIB standards.

I'm currently experiencing the privilege of seeing words I wrote make it into bills and potentially state statute. Is this where I become an SME after getting a 'rookie of the year' award four years ago?

I think if more folx had at least some level of involvement in the process of legislation, we would be better off for it. Legislation does not need to be performed solely by politicians.

Memory Dump Analysis Anthology, Revised Edition: The First 5 Volumes

This reference bundle consists of revised, edited, cross-referenced, and thematically organized articles from the Software Diagnostics Institute and Software Diagnostics Library (former Crash Dump Analysis blog) about software diagnostics, root cause analysis, debugging, crash and hang dump analysis, software trace and log analysis written from August 2006 to October 2010. In addition to various corrections, this major revision updates relevant links and removes obsolete references. Some articles are preserved for historical reasons. Most of the content, especially memory analysis and trace and log analysis pattern languages, is still relevant today and for the foreseeable future. The output of WinDbg commands is also remastered to include color highlighting. Crash dump analysis pattern names are also corrected to reflect the continued expansion of the catalog. The primary audience for Memory Dump Analysis Anthology reference volumes is: software engineers developing and maintaining products on Windows platforms, technical support, escalation, and site reliability engineers dealing with complex software issues, quality assurance engineers testing software on Windows platforms, security and vulnerability researchers, reverse engineers, malware and memory forensics analysts. Trace and log analysis articles may be of interest to users of other platforms.
