AGENDA: Hard Times on the Colorado River: Drought, Growth and the Future of the Compact

Sponsors and Contributors: Colorado Water Conservation Board, Center for Advanced Decision Support for Water and Environmental Systems, Western Water Assessment, CU-CIRES/NOAA, Hydrosphere Resource Consultants, Rocky Mountain Mineral Law Foundation, Colorado Foundation for Water Education, Patrick, Miller & Kropf, P.C., William and Flora Hewlett Foundation. The Colorado River is approaching a crossroads. For the first time in its history, satisfying water demands in one state may require curtailing legally-recognized uses in another. This is not the first instance of water shortages in the region, and conflict among the seven Colorado River states is certainly not new. But the potential shortages on the horizon are larger in scale and magnitude than ever seen before, and the regional insurance policy against this sort of catastrophe, the storage reservoirs of Lake Powell and Mead, are being pushed to their limits. Key water decision-makers from throughout the basin will come together to explore a variety of topics pertaining to the Law of the River: the ability of the system to meet water delivery and hydropower obligations, potential impacts of shortages to water users and the environment, and solutions for future management

Iguana Ricordi, Cyclura ricordi : plan de recuperación de especie 2002-2007

La críticamente en peligro de extinción iguana ricordi, Cyclura ricordi, solamente la podemos encontrar en la isla Española. A pesar de su presencia en áreas protegidas, la especie es rara con una distribución muy limitada, y existen indicaciones de que la población seguirá disminuyendo. Este documento presenta un plan detallado de medidas de conservación consideradas esenciales para la supervivencia a largo plazo de esta especie insignia en el estado silvestre. Esto combina el conocimiento y el peritaje de expertos altamente calificados del gobierno y de oenegés dentro de la República Dominicana, en conjunto con el Grupo Especialista en Iguanas y de la Comisión para la Supervivencia de las Especies (SSC en inglés) de la Unión Mundial de la Conservación. El plan de conservación es resultado de un taller desarrollado en noviembre de 2002 en Santo Domingo, República Dominicana, en colaboración con la junta anual de UICN/SSC Grupo Especialista de Iguanas (ISG) y el Parque Zoológico Nacional (ZOODOM) como anfitrión

The emergence of circular economy: a new framing around prolonging resource productivity

In this article we use Hirsch and Levin’s (1999) notion of ‘umbrella concepts’ as an analytical lens, in order to articulate the valuable catalytic function the circular economy concept could perform in the waste and resource management debate. We realize this goal by anchoring the circular economy concept in this broader debate through a narrative approach. This leads to the insight that while the various resource strategies grouped under circular economy’s banner are not new individually, the concept offers a new framing of these strategies by drawing attention to their capacity of prolonging resource use as well as to the relationship between these strategies. As such, circular economy offers a new perspective on waste and resource management and provides a new cognitive unit and discursive space for debate. We conclude by discussing research opportunities for the IE community relating to the concept’s theoretical development and its implementation. Specifically, we pose that reinvigorating and growing the social science aspects of IE is required for both. After all, it is the wide adoption and collective implementation of an idea that shapes our material future
