Introduction to Climate Finance for Young Climate Innovators: An Open Learning Guide is an introductory resource designed to make climate finance accessible to students, young professionals, entrepreneurs, researchers and emerging climate leaders. The guide provides a practical foundation in climate finance and explores key topics crucial for understanding the climate finance landscape such as climate change, climate finance mechanisms, carbon markets and ESG, among others. The guide has been written with a strong focus on accessibility and real-world application and it bridges the gap between climate ambition and implementation. The aim of this guide is to support young climate innovators in understanding how climate finance works and how innovative ideas can be developed into impactful and fundable climate solutions. This publication is an open learning resource for anyone seeking to build knowledge, strengthen capacity and contribute to sustainable and climate-resilient development.

Abstract— In modern organizations, data has become a critical asset; however, its value depends on how effectively it is transformed into meaningful insights. Enterprises today rely on a wide range of tools to process, analyze, and present data, often facing challenges in selecting the most appropriate platform for specific analytical and reporting needs. This study provides a structured comparative analysis of three widely used Microsoft tools: Excel, SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS), and Power BI. The comparison is based on key dimensions including data architecture, scalability, visualization capabilities, usability, governance, performance, and cost considerations. The findings indicate that Power BI is well suited for interactive and dynamic analytics, enabling self-service business intelligence across organizations. SSRS continues to play an important role in structured, pixel-perfect reporting environments, particularly where regulatory or operational consistency is required. Excel remains highly relevant for ad-hoc analysis, rapid modeling, and flexible data exploration. Overall, rather than identifying a single superior tool, this study highlights that each platform serves a distinct role within a modern business intelligence ecosystem. Keywords—Business Intelligence, Data Visualization, Reporting Systems, Excel, SSRS, Power BI, Data Governance

The study assesses how energy use regulations in Ghanaian universities influence energy conservation behaviour among students in university hall of residence and private residence. The data also explores how students' climate change perceptions and experiences influence their energy conservation behaviour as adaptation to climate change.

Central Indian tribal communities face nutritional challenges due to rain-fed, single-cropping Kharif monoculture. In the Bastar Division, the indigenous Halba tribe of Kondagaon District experiences a seasonal resource crunch termed the ‘Lean Period’ during which households are socio-economically isolated from fresh perishables. This empirical study analyses the unwritten Indigenous Knowledge Systems utilised by the Halba community to achieve food sovereignty without modern refrigeration or synthetic stabilisers. Fieldwork was executed across four tribal settlements using purposive sampling to interview 120 key informants, paired with participant observation. The results establish that traditional preservation is a biochemical intervention aimed at reducing Water Activity, disrupting cellular breakdown, and degrading anti-nutritional factors. Botanically, practices range from dual thermal parboiling and solar cavitations of acrid tubers (Colocasia esculenta) into stable Khuila, to anaerobic, weevil-suffocating paddy storage inside straw rope Mair silos. In the ichthyo faunal domain, perishable biomass is transformed into durable Suksi variants through hypertonic dry salting of Mastacembelus armatus, vertical wood smoke phenolation of Esomus danricus, and chemical mortar compounding of Oecophylla smaragdina with wild tamarind to drop pH below 3.5. These zero-energy, zero-chemical methodologies offer climate-resilient blueprints for sustainable food packaging and off-grid security frameworks.

Busca se levar ao conhecimento o desafio da inclusão dos portadores de necessidades especiais num contexto amplo que é a sociedade. Ao se abordar essa questão lembra se dos diferentes, o que nos move no sentido de buscar a igualdade, ao ler o tema ressalta se o que nos foi referido que “entender o outro enquanto diferente não significa aceitar que ele difere de nós, mas sim buscar alternativas para nos comunicarmos, promovendo interação e desenvolvimento coletivo” (RODRIGUES; MARANHE, 2010, apud PROMINAS, 2018).

The EU textile industry is at a crucial turning point in terms of sustainable production and rapid adaptation to consumer demand for smart functions. The production of functional textiles often uses chemicals that cannot be recycled, which poses new challenges for the EU textile industry due to increasing regulations and strict bans on hazardous chemicals. Therefore, smart innovations are needed to help the textile industry eliminate the use of harmful chemicals and reduce its carbon footprint. BioFibreLoop will develop such innovations. The paper presents the first results of the projects. It covers the specification, selection, development and production of textiles, the lignin-based coating, the development of appropriate digital tools, the safety and sustainability framework and finally some considerations on the industrial demonstration later in the project, before concluding with some information about the project.
