On the road to a sustainable Amazon By Mario Lubetkin, Deputy Director General and Regional Representative for Latin America and the Caribbean Over the past few years, the scientific world has recognized that the Amazon faces unprecedented survival challenges and may soon reach a tipping point where recovery may be impossible.
Reaching these extremes could generate devastating socioeconomic, cultural, and environmental impacts, both in the Amazon and regionally and globally, with catastrophic consequences for agriculture and urban water supply and significant threats to ecosystem protection.

This topic has undoubtedly been part of the extensive debate at COP 27 in Egypt.
Preserving the Amazon from threats such as deforestation and biodiversity loss is a matter of global concern and must become one of the significant priorities of our time.

Our actions today are our future.

In this context, the United Nations representation in Brazil and the Amazonia Legal Interstate Consortium launched the Amazonia Legal Hub, a programmatic-financial mechanism whose central objective is to promote the sustainable development of the Brazilian Amazon through the mobilization of resources.
This will materialize through the trust fund "United Nations Multi-Donor Fund for the Sustainable Development of the Legal Amazon (Amazon MPTF)."
In line with its strong commitment to supporting countries in climate change mitigation and adaptation, The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) are leading this initiative through the co-management of the Inter-Agency Thematic Group on Sustainable Development of the Legal Amazon, composed of 17 UN specialized agencies, funds and programs in Brazil.
The challenge we face with this new fund is ensuring that partnerships and support for the Amazon are not only limited to ecosystem management but also aim to create inclusive economic alternatives focused on benefiting the local population.

We cannot forget that the Brazilian Legal Amazon region, which includes nine states, is home to 29 million people and has one of the worst poverty and human development indices and the highest food insecurity.
It is unacceptable that its population experiences such poverty despite living in an area with the greatest natural wealth in the world.
The signing of this agreement will translate into concrete action for improvements in the Amazon through the prioritization of proposals to improve environmental governance, reduce illegal activities, empower the region's population and support human settlements and sustainable cities, in addition to improving the management of socio-environmental issues, and the impacts of climate change on agriculture.

500,000 health workers to receive training under new joint initiative from PAHO and the United States Los Angeles, 8 June, 2022 (PAHO) – The Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) has today welcomed the United States announcement of the launch of Americas Health Corps – Fuerza de Salud de las Americas, a joint, US/PAHO initiative to train 500,000 public health workers throughout the region over the next five years.
Americas Health Corps, which forms part of the Action Plan on Health and Resilience in the Americas aims to help the region prevent, prepare for and respond to future pandemic threats and other public health emergencies, while ensuing the equitable delivery of health care services to remote, vulnerable and marginalized communities.
The aim of America Health Corps is to strengthen health systems throughout the region and to prepare for future health emergencies by improving transparency, accountability and regional coordination with governments, the private sector and civil society.

And with a current regional deficit of around 600,000 healthcare workers, primarily in rural and underserved areas, training and equipping health personnel is a key part of this initiative.
“Without healthcare workers there is no resilient health system, no access to healthcare, nor preparedness for pandemics,” PAHO Director, Dr. Carissa F. Etienne said.

This new initiative will build on PAHO programs of work and mandates to build resilient health systems based on primary health care, strengthen essential public health functions and improve pandemic preparedness and response in the Americas.
It will leverage the capacity of the PAHO Virtual Campus to reach healthcare workers throughout the region, including in remote and underserved areas.

“The pandemic has laid bare the fact that we can no longer ignore long-standing deficiencies in our health systems,” Dr James Fitzgerald, Director of the Health systems and Services Department at PAHO said.
“We welcome this opportunity to work together with the United States to equip the next generation of the health workforce in the Americas.” Links The Americas has a shortfall of 600,000 health professionals United States announcement MEDIA CONTACTS Luciana Viegas: + 1 202 981-8455 Ashley Baldwin: + 1 202 340-4025 Sebastian Oliel: +1 202 316-5679 mediateam@paho.org www.paho.org The Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) works with the countries of the Americas to improve the health and quality of life of its population.

As per the subject line, I oppose the introduction of anti-discrimination laws based on sexual orientation and gender identity.

Discrimination laws might aim at protecting ONE group of people - but they inevitably restrict the freedom of conscience, religion, thought and association of OTHER PEOPLE.

As a Christian, I believe that homosexuality between humans is wrong, on the grounds that God has designed relationships between humans to be heterosexual, and ordained marriage as an institution of this.
Despite the biased treatment of the subject in much of the media, there are many (if not a majority) of people in our community that do not accept homosexuality and should be entitled to their voice on the matter.

We already have defamation laws to protect people from abuse of freedom of speech, however anti-discrimination laws will achieve the stifling of opinion, which is not healthy for society.
On top of this, anti-discrimination laws are indeed discriminatory against certain views, and detract from free practice of religion - the Christian is not allowed to voice his or her views according to anti-discrimination laws.

"The proposed Bill says that if someone feels they are treated "less favourably" than someone of a different sexual orientation or gender identity then they can make a complaint - and the person complained about has to defend themselves.
The previous Attorney General had proposed extending the 'unfavourable treatment clause' in the discrimination section to include 'offend or insult'.

That has been done away with - but the words 'offended' and 'insulted' still appear in this section of the proposed Bill."

The right to offend is a fundamentally important element in any democracy.

Indeed it is sexual discrimination to restrict these laws only to sexuality-related matters.

What about racism?
What about racism?

And if racism is included, then it is also discrimination not to extend the laws to all forms of discrimination (based on appearance, job, whatever).

There is either no consistency, which constitutes discrimination based on sexual-orientation itself, or if consistency is bought in, free speech is dead.

Again, I oppose the introduction of these laws.

ANTI-SPECIESIST ACTION COLLECTIVE RESPONSE TO THE CRIMINAL CODE AMENDMENT (AGRICULTURAL PROTECTION) BILL 2019 Anti-Speciesist Action Collective anti-speciesist.com anti.speciesist.action.collective@gmail.com Criminal Code Amendment (Agricultural Protection) Bill 2019 [Provisions]Submission 1 RESPONSE TO THE CRIMINAL CODE AMENDMENT (AGRICULTURAL PROTECTION) BILL 2019 We strongly oppose the proposed Criminal Code Amendment (Agricultural Protection) Bill 2019.
This attempt to silence whistleblowers and enact protectionism on an industry rife with animal abuse, wanton cruelty and ecological destruction is not for the benefit of the Australian people or non-humans.

It is clear that those proposing such changes are deeply beholden, and many active participants in, the animal agricultural industry.
This is evidenced twofold - firstly by the absolute failure to address the documented cruelty that is ongoing and inherent in this industry, and secondly by this blatant attempt to prevent further scrutiny.

The authoritarian tendencies of those proposing this, and those supporting this bill should be alarming for those considering this bill, and for the Australian public more broadly.
Penalties for trespass already exist, and the fact that activists already risk fines and imprisonment yet proceed anyway is reflective of the atrocities occurring behind farm gates and slaughterhouse walls.
This bill not only seeks to prevent the truth being known about animal agriculture in Australia (akin to the ag-gag laws being increasingly overturn in the United States) but has broader ramifications for whistleblowers and journalists as other industries seek to prevent scrutiny and bad publicity in line with the precedent set by this bill.
At a time when Australia is failing to address rising emissions, and flat out refusing to acknowledge the ecological impacts of animal agriculture, and is yet to seriously address live export or the widespread animal abuse occurring in Australian society, protectionism for the perpetrators is unconscionable.

Living with someone with depression?

To see how you can help them, while also To see how you can help them, while also taking care of yourself, read on… taking care of yourself, read on… What you should know What you should know • Depression can happen to anyone and is not a sign of weakness.

• It’s an illness characterized by persistent sadness and a loss of interest in activities that you normally enjoy, accompanied by difficulty carrying out daily activities.
• People with depression also normally experience several of the following: loss of energy; change in appetite; sleeping more or less; anxiety; reduced concentration; indecisiveness; restlessness; feelings of worthlessness, guilt, or hopelessness; thoughts of self-harm or suicide.

• Depression can be treated.

Finding the best course of treatment depends on the severity of the condition.

• The support of friends and family helps people recover from depression.
What you can do What you can do • Make it clear that you want to help, listen without judgement, and offer support.

• Find out more about depression – talking to someone you know who has recovered or a local health worker are good places to start.

• Encourage them to seek professional help and offer to go with them to appointments.

• If they’re prescribed medication, help them remember to take it.

• Be patient – recovery can take time.


• Help them with everyday tasks and to have regular eating and sleeping patterns.

• Encourage regular exercise and social activities.

• But be mindful that trying to do too much can be stressful and make depression worse.

• Encourage them to focus on the positive, rather than the negative.

• If they’re thinking about self-harm, or have already intentionally harmed themselves, don’t leave them alone.
Seek help from the emergency services or a health-care professional.

And remove items such as medicines, sharp objects and firearms.

• Take care of yourself too.

Try to find ways to relax and continue doing things you enjoy.

REMEMBER: When you live with someone with depression, you can help them recover, but it’s important to look after yourself too.
