Abstract:

In order to legislate and establish the biodiversity assessment mechanism, the provisions of Article 6 para. (3) and (4) of Council Directive 92/43/EEC of 21 May 1992 on the conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora, published in the Official Journal of the European Union L 206 of 22 July 1992. Amendments to the legal framework aimed at introducing the legal mechanism for biodiversity assessment were made by Law No 225/2022 in force from 04.11.2023 and Law No 226/2022 in force from 21.10.2023. The key aspects of the amendments related to the biodiversity assessment mechanism are: 1) the definition of „biodiversity assessment”; 2) the scope of the biodiversity assessment mechanism; 3) the link between the biodiversity assessment mechanism and the environmental impact assessment and strategic environmental assessment mechanisms. The study aims to analyse these amendments and to outline the prospects for the establishment of a national biodiversity assessment mechanism.

Abstract:

In 2002 at the inaugural Summit of the African Union (AU) held in Durban, South Africa, the African Heads of State and Government committed themselves to adhere to international standards on democracy, good governance (political, economic and corporate), peace, the rule of law, and respect for human rights. They also agreed to hold each other accountable through African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM). The present paper examines whether the APRM constitutes a viable peer review mechanism; and, if not, how it can be strengthened?

Abstract:

Mechanisms causing item nonresponses in large-scale assessments are often said to be nonignorable. Parameter estimates can be biased if nonignorable missing data mechanisms are not adequately modeled. In trend analyses, it is plausible for the missing data mechanism and the percentage of missing values to change over time. In this article, we investigated (a) the extent to which the missing data mechanism and the percentage of missing values changed over time in real large-scale assessment data, (b) how different approaches for dealing with missing data performed under such conditions, and (c) the practical implications for trend estimates. These issues are highly relevant because the conclusions hold for all kinds of group mean differences in large-scale assessments. In a reanalysis of PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) data from 35 OECD countries, we found that missing data mechanisms and numbers of missing values varied considerably across time points, countries, and domains. In a simulation study, we generated data in which we allowed the missing data mechanism and the amount of missing data to change over time. We showed that the trend estimates were biased if differences in the missing-data mechanisms were not taken into account, in our case, when omissions were scored as wrong, when omissions were ignored, or when model-based approaches assuming a constant missing data mechanism over time were used. The results suggest that the most accurate estimates can be obtained from the application of multiple group models for nonignorable missing values when the amounts of missing data and the missing data mechanisms changed over time. In an empirical example, we furthermore showed that the large decline in PISA reading literacy in Ireland in 2009 was reduced when we estimated trends using missing data treatments that accounted for changes in missing data mechanisms.

Abstract:

In ideological and political education in colleges and universities, ideological and political theory courses are the main channel of ideological and political education, and the key to running ideological and political theory courses lies in teachers. The establishment and improvement of the assessment and evaluation mechanism of ideological and political course teachers will effectively improve the curriculum effect of ideological and political theory courses. However, while the construction of the assessment and evaluation mechanism for ideological and political teachers in colleges and universities in China has achieved certain results, there are still some unsolved problems, such as the lack of an assessment and assessment that matches the characteristics of ideological and political teachers. Standards and ideological and political course teacher assessment and evaluation mechanisms have guiding deviations. This article uses fairness theory and expected valence theory to analyze and explore the reasons for problems in the assessment and evaluation mechanism of ideological and political teachers in colleges, and put forward constructive suggestions on how to establish and improve the assessment and evaluation mechanism of ideological and political teachers in colleges.

Abstract:

The accurate assessment and prediction of forest ecosystem quality is an important basis for evaluating the effectiveness of regional ecological protection and restoration, establishing a positive feedback mechanism for forest quality improvement and restoration policies, and promoting the construction of an ecological civilization in China. Based on the existing studies at home and abroad, this paper mainly analyzes and summarizes the connotation of forest ecosystem quality, assessment index systems, assessment and prediction methods, and outlooks on the existing problems of imperfect forest ecological quality assessment index systems, preliminary assessment and prediction capabilities, and unknown dynamic responses of forest ecological quality to climate change, etc. Efforts should be made to develop a scientific and standardized assessment index system, produce high-quality forest ecological data products, develop localization of assessment model parameters, and explore forest quality–climate change response mechanisms to provide references for in-depth research to realize the transformation of forest ecosystem quality assessments from historical and status quo assessments to future predictions, and to support the construction of a national ecological civilization.

Full text

Abstract:

Hypothesis: The primary hypothesis of this thesis is that the refractory period in asthma is due to release of bronchoprotective mediator(s) within the airway and that these may be one or more of the pro-resolving lipid mediators such as lipoxins or resolvins. Methods: 1. Development of a LC-MS assay for the detection of pro-resolving mediators in sputum. 2. Development of an in vitro airway model using porcine and human bronchial rings. 3. A clinical study of mannitol-induced refractoriness with collection of urine and sputum to assess changes in prostaglandin and pro-resolving mediator levels. Key Results: 1. Approximate LC-MS limits of detection were 0.002, 0.01 and 0.04 pg/μl for PGE2, LXA4 and RvD1 respectively. These LOD compare favourably with ELISA. 2. Serial LC-MS analysis of spiked sputum samples showed that LXA4 appeared stable, while PGE2 and RvD1 showed some degradation over 5 months. 3. LXA4, RvD1 and MaR1 had no significant effect on the histamine response of porcine bronchial rings. 4. Bronchoconstriction with high concentration mannitol rendered an airway refractory to further contraction with direct ASM agonists via an unknown mechanism. 5. In human bronchial rings, neither 10 nM LXA4 nor 10 nM MaR1 had any effect on bronchoconstriction induced by mast cell FcμR1 activation. 6. In the clinical study, with bolus dosing the mean refractory index for mannitol was 24%. The degree of refractoriness to mannitol did not correlate with markers of disease severity. 7. Urinary PGD2 and PGE2 metabolite levels measured by ELISA showed no significant change in response to mannitol challenge. Sputum LXA4 and RvD1 levels measured by ELISA showed no consistent change in response to mannitol challenge. Conclusions: This study has found no evidence of a role for pro-resolving mediators in the mechanism of refractoriness.

The certified thesis is available in the Institute Archives and Special Collections.<br>Cataloged from student submitted PDF version of thesis.<br>Includes bibliographical references (p. 61-70).<br>When a sufficient current density passes through the MTJ, the spin-polarized current will exert a spin transfer torque to switch the magnetization of the free layer. This is the fundamental of the novel write mechanism in STT-RAM, current-induced magnetization switching. It allows STT-RAM to have a smaller cell size and write current than MRAM, and also capable of what MRAM promises: fast, dense, and non-volatile. A technological assessment was conducted to verify the claims of STT-RAM by understanding the physical principles behind it. A comparison of performance parameters in various memory technologies was also made. STT-RAM scores well in all aspect except in the size of the memory cell. The high current density (>10⁶ A/cm²) sets the lower limit of the size of the driving transistor and ultimately the cost of manufacturing STT-RAM. Cost models were presented to estimate the cost of a STT-RAM based on a three mask levels fabrication process. Although much effort has been put into reducing the switching current density, there are still no easy solutions to the problem. Research and development of STT-RAM must show success in a very near future or else STT-RAM will follow the step of its predecessor, MRAM: surviving in the niche market.<br>by Iong Ying Loh.<br>M.Eng.

Abstract:

Muscle pain is felt during exercise or daily activities for several days after performing unaccustomed exercise, which is referred to as delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). Many people experience DOMS, but its underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. One of the challenges in the investigation of DOMS is its subjective nature, which makes the assessment ambiguous, thus establishing a standardised protocol is necessary. The present thesis scrutinised muscle pain assessments (Study 1, Study 2), developed a new assessment of muscle pain focusing on muscle fascia (Study 3), and investigated why DOMS is reduced after the second than the first bout of eccentric exercise (Study 4). From these studies, DOMS was thought to be more associated with connective tissue than muscle fibre damage and inflammation. In Study 1, the relationship between pain level assessed by a visual analogue scale (VAS) and pain sensitivity assessed by pressure pain threshold (PPT) was examined. Thirty-one healthy young men performed 10 sets of 6 maximal isokinetic eccentric contractions with their non-dominant arm. Before and 1 - 4 days after the exercise, muscle pain perceived upon palpation of the biceps brachii at three sites (5, 9, and 13 cm above the elbow crease) was assessed by VAS with a 100 mm line (0 = no pain, 100 = extremely painful), and PPT of the same sites was determined by an algometer. The VAS increased after exercise and peaked two days post-exercise, while the PPT decreased most at 1 day post-exercise and did not return to baseline for 4 days following exercise (P Muscle pain induced by elbow flexor eccentric exercise was investigated using different assessments in Study 2. Ten untrained men performed 10 sets of 6 maximal isokinetic eccentric contractions of the elbow flexors with one arm. Maximal voluntary isometric contraction torque (MVC), range of motion (ROM) and serum creatine kinase (CK) activity were measured before, immediately after, and 1 to 5 days after exercise as indirect markers of muscle damage. PPT of 50 sites over an exercised upper arm, VAS with a 100-mm line for pain level upon static pressure by a cuff and fingers, and palpation of the biceps brachii at three sites (3, 9, and 15 cm above the elbow crease) and different palpation methods (longitudinal, transverse and circular movements) on the mid-belly of biceps were assessed. Large decreases in MVC and ROM, and significant increases in serum CK activity indicated muscle damage. A significant difference (P In Study 3, changes in the electrical pain threshold (EPT) of the biceps brachii fascia, biceps brachii muscle and brachialis fascia following eccentric elbow flexor contractions, and the relationship between EPT and VAS or PPT were investigated. Ten healthy untrained men performed two eccentric exercise bouts (ECC1, ECC2) consisting of 10 sets of 6 maximal isokinetic eccentric contractions of the elbow flexors with the same arm separated by 4 weeks. Changes in MVC, ROM, VAS and PPT were smaller (P The purpose of Study 4 was to investigate the magnitude of muscle lengthening during the first and second bout of eccentric exercise bouts and whether the muscle length changes are associated with the magnitude of DOMS and changes in other indirect markers of muscle damages between bouts. Ten healthy untrained men performed two eccentric exercise bouts (ECC1, ECC2) consisting of 10 sets of 6 maximal isokinetic eccentric contractions of the elbow flexors using the same arm separated by 4 weeks. Changes in MVC, ROM, muscle thickness, ultrasound echo intensity, serum CK activity and muscle soreness (VAS) were smaller (P

Abstract:

Dysfunction of the knee extensor mechanism resulting in patellofemoral pain (PFP) presents a significant challenge to those clinicians working in musculoskeletal medicine. The presence of the condition is believed to be related to changes in internal joint loading as a result of alteration in the position and tracking of the patellofemoral joint. One of the first challenges when assessing and treating this condition faced by the clinician is how to reliably and validly assess patella position.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to investigate the child study process in a local education agency (LEA) with four elementary schools. These data determine the extent that prereferral interventions are being implemented and whether these strategies influence the outcome of the Child Study Committee (CSC) decision. All referrals to the CSC for the 1998-1999 school year (n=108) at the elementary level were examined to describe the students who are referred according to four primary independent variables of gender, grade level, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status (SES). Free or reduced lunch was used as the measure for SES. Students referred were members of the total elementary population of 1884 students in the LEA. The total population was described according to gender, grade level, ethnicity, and SES. Using cross tabulation techniques, the percentages of CSC referrals in each category are compared to the population. Chi-square analysis was used to determine the significance (p<.05) of any differences in the observed distribution of this mutually exclusive categorical data. Records of CSC meetings were reviewed to identify the presence of prereferral interventions. Prereferral interventions are recommendations given by the CSC to help remedy a student's problem before referral for evaluation for special education is made. Two independent raters examined the reason for referral and the recommendations made by the CSC. The reasons and recommendations were categorized according to academic problems, behavioral problems, or one of three possible combinations of both. Inter-rater reliability was measured using percent agreement across all categories and Cohen's kappa was calculated to provide additional rater validation. Rater results were used to check for congruence between the problems leading to the referral and the interventions recommended. Records of students who were referred for evaluation for special education were studied to determine the percentages found eligible and ineligible, and were examined according to gender, grade level, ethnicity, and SES. Compared to the population, the group of students referred to the CSC during the 1998-1999 school year was over-representative of males and of students with low SES. Most referrals to the CSC were for academic reasons. In cases where the CSC did not recommend a full evaluation for consideration of special education services, the committee recommended prereferral interventions. The recommendations of the committee typically were congruent with the reason for referral, but often did not specifically state who was responsible for implementing the interventions recommended.<br>Ed.

Abstract:

COORDENAÇÃO DE APERFEIÇOAMENTO DO PESSOAL DE ENSINO SUPERIOR<br>Deposição de parafinas, com alto peso molecular, na parede interna de linhas submarinas de produção e transporte continua a ser um problema crítico encontrado pela indústria de petróleo. Uma previsão precisa das taxas de deposição e da distribuição espacial da parafina depositada é uma informação fundamental para o projeto de linhas submarinas. Uma revisão minuciosa da literatura mostrou que não existem informações suficientes para determinar quais são os mecanismos relevantes para a deposição da parafina. No entanto, a maioria das simulações disponíveis emprega a difusão molecular como único mecanismo de deposição. Portanto, no presente trabalho realiza-se uma análise numérica do processo de deposição da parafina em dutos, utilizando o modelo de difusão molecular e compara-se com dados experimentais obtidos em um experimento simples e básico em um duto de seção retangular. Duas formulações matemáticas são utilizadas para modelar a taxa de transporte de parafina para a parede do duto; a primeira formulação é uni- dimensional e estima a taxa de deposição da parafina a partir do gradiente de temperatura; a segunda formulação é bi-dimensional e a taxa de deposição é determinada em função do gradiente de concentração da parafina. O método de volumes finitos é empregado para resolver as equações de conservação de massa, energia e da fração de massa juntamente com a equação difusiva que descreve o crescimento do depósito de parafina. Adicionalmente, investigou-se a influência do calor latente no balanço de energia. Verificou-se que o calor latente acelera o processo de deposição, mas não influencia na espessura final depositada, após atingir o regime permanente. Os resultados obtidos apresentam diferenças significativas com relação aos dados experimentais, indicando que a difusão molecular não é o único mecanismo relevante para a deposição de parafina.<br>Deposition of high molecular weight para±ns on the inner wall of subsea production and transportation pipelines continues to be a critical operati- onal problem faced by the petroleum industry. The accurate prediction of wax deposition rates and deposited wax spatial distribution would be an invaluable information for the design of subsea pipelines. A critical review of the literature conducted lead to the conclusion that there is not enough experimental evidence to determine which are the more relevant mecha- nisms responsible for wax deposition. However, the majority of available simulations employ the molecular diffusion model as the only deposition mechanism. Therefore, in the present work, a numerical analysis of the wax deposition in ducts is performed employing the molecular diffusion model and a comparison with experimental data of a simple and basic experiment in a rectangular cross section duct is performed. Two mathematical mo- dels are investigated; the first formulation is one- dimensional and the wax deposition rate is determined from the temperature gradient. The second formulation is two-dimensional and the wax deposition rate is a function of the para±n concentration gradient. The finite volume method was selec- ted to solve the conservation equations of mass, energy and mass fraction, coupled with a difusive equation to describe the growth of the wax deposi- tion. Additionally, the influence of the para±n latent heat was investigated. It was verified that the latent heat accelerates the deposition process, but does not affect thenal wax thickness after reaching the steady state regime. The results obtained presented signifficant differences between experiments and computation, indicating that molecular diffusion might not be the only relevant mechanism responsible for wax deposition.

Abstract:

This thesis assesses the African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM) as it has played out in Nigeria. The APRM is an initiative by the African Union (AU) and the New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD) to promote good governance through self-assessment and monitoring by African states. The APRM is particularly interesting as a continental (rather than single country) programme which puts the good governance agenda in the hands of African states themselves (rather than international financial institutions, for example). Focusing on the National Programme of Action (NPoA) of 2009 - 2012, the research finds that the APRM has had little or no impact on governance in Nigeria. Notwithstanding the NPoA's limited contributions to national development, the entire process has failed to recognise, engage and tackle the underlying socio-political dynamics of politics in the country, which have the most impact on governance structures and processes. The thesis accounts for this outcome by examining structure (through the role of actors) and underlying socio-political dynamics, both nationally and internationally. In terms of actors the research explores the role of individual leaders, NEPAD and APRM secretariats (national and continental), federal state representatives, regional and sub-regional organisations, international donors, and civil society in the APRM process. In terms of underlying factors, Richard Joseph's theory of prebendalism gives analytical power to understanding the APRM within Nigeria's political culture, while the neo-Gramscian perspective of cultural hegemony enables an analysis of the APRM within the broader international context. Both contribute to a holistic assessment of the APRM in Nigeria. Neither one of these two theoretical contributions is able to offer a comprehensive assessment if used unmodified or on their own. The APRM has the potential to open new political spaces for collaborative engagement between government and civil society in Nigeria, with the possibility of beneficial effects for governance and accountability. So far, however, this potential has not been realised. This must be judged as a significant shortcoming to date.

Full text

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Although a lot of AC corrosion failure cases have been reported on cathodically protected pipelines, the mechanism of AC corrosion process is still not completely understood and there has been a lack of technical consensus on AC corrosion mechanism under cathodic protection, especially for high CP level. AC corrosion simulation experiments under different CP levels were conducted and during the AC corrosion process, AC corrosion rates, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), cyclic voltammetry (CV), corrosion morphologies, corrosion products and environmental parameters near specimen were measured and analyzed. The effect of hydrogen evolution reaction on AC corrosion process under high CP level was discussed based on electrical equivalent circuit model at steel/electrolyte interface, dynamic electrochemical reaction process and the change of local environmental parameter close to specimen surface.

Full text

Abstract:

The assessment of a sensitivity loss in patients with retinal disease is often performed in the presence of a background. Marré and Marré1, for example, have devised a technique based on Wald's version of Stiles' two-color threshold technique to measure the relative loss in three "basic cone mechanisms", each mechanism is isolated with a single chromatic background. Other investigators have argued for a selective sensitivity loss of a blue cone mechanism or a chromatic mechanism based upon data also collected at one or two adapting field intensities. The implicit assumption is that sensitivity loss of a particular cone mechanism is independent of the level of adaptation. This paper has two goals. First, we review evidence indicating that sensitivity loss is not independent of the level of adaptation in patients with RP, and we propose that models of sensitivity loss must incorporate a model of adaptation2. Second, we apply the model of adaptation proposed by Hood and Greenstein3 to assess whether the tvi data from RP patients support the hypothesis that RP primarily affects the receptors.

Full text

Abstract:

The PI, PII, and PIII fundamental "Processes" described by Granit (1933) form the major component waves of the electroretinogram (ERG), particularily under dark-adapted (scotopic) conditions. The leading edge of scotopic PIII (i.e. "fast PIII") shapes the negative a-wave which originates directly from light evoked hyperpolarization of rod photoreceptors (Penn and Hagins, 1969). Scotopic PII is seen primarily as the phasic positive b-wave which results from local depolarization of Muller glial cells by a light-evoked K+ efflux from bipolar cells in distal retina (Faber, 1969; Miller and Dowling, 1970)

Abstract:

Assessments are the primary feedback mechanism in the educational process. They provide feedback to students on how well they are meeting expectations, to teachers on how well the students are learning, and to administrators on the effectiveness of their programs. This feedback, in turn, stimulates changes and improvements and promotes continuous learning. Assessments in a conservation biology course occur before, during, and after an activity, and aim to empower both teachers and students to improve the quality of learning. This module offers an introduction to classroom assessment, describing the who, why, what, when, and how of the assessment process.

Abstract:

LP-ICDA is intended to serve as an integrity verification tool, playing the same role within pipeline integrity management as in-line inspection (ILI) and hydrotesting (either as a replacement or as a complement). The method relies on: Identifying a mechanism for corrosion susceptibility; Detecting a property associated with this mechanism through an indirect measurement; Performing a direct observation of the pipe (e.g., by excavation); and Correcting for any discrepancies between the predictions and observations.

Full text

Abstract:

This paper assesses the effects of the Colombian Unemployment Subsidy (US), which includes benefits as well as training for some recipients. Using regression discontinuity and matching differences-in-differences estimators, the study finds that participation in the labor market, earnings of beneficiaries, and household income do not increase, and for some populations decrease during the 18 months after leaving the US program. Enrollment in formal health insurance falls. Effects on male heads of household include reductions in their earnings, decreases in their labor participation, and increases in their unemployment rates. The study also finds a small though statistically significant positive effect on beneficiaries¿ school attendance, but none on their children¿s weight or height at birth. The results are sensitive to the type of training that beneficiaries receive. Overall, the program serves more as a mechanism for smoothing consumption and providing social assistance than for increasing labor market efficiency.

Petihakis, George, Johannes Karstensen, and Vicente Fernande. Observing Networks final Assessment. EuroSea, 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.3289/eurosea_d3.18.

Full text

Abstract:

This deliverable presents the Final Assessment of the observation and thematic networks as those represented in work package 3 of EuroSea, taking as a reference the information on Deliverable 3.2 Observing Network Initial Assessment. Following the same approach with D3.2 the original questionnaire was modified accordingly in order to depict the progress made on the same Network Attributes, Commitments and Benefits following the GOOS, OCG guidelines. The unforeseen COVID-19 pandemic had significant effects upon WP3 activities since the main mechanism foreseen to advance progress within the different networks was the organization of in person workshops. Moreover, adequate funds were allocated towards this in order to promote inclusivity and participation. Adapting to the new situation the first series of workshops had to be changed into online only events which despite the inherent difficulty, proved to have significant advantages as well. In particular they gave the opportunity for a significant number of people to join from all around the globe and participate in the events (for example the Sea Level WS). Another challenge proved to be the variability within some networks with sub-components or sub-groups having significantly different characteristics. In particular Eulerian platforms comprise a wide range of platforms - fixed moorings, surface buoys, cable bottom platforms - with some of them being part of mature and well-developed networks (OceanSITES, EMSO etc) while other are loose partners of on-going programs and projects (JERICO RI, coastal buoys). EuroSea activities had a significant positive impact on all the observing and thematic networks, actively promoting synergies and collaboration, with most of them successfully reaching Framework Processes Readiness Criteria Level 7 and above. Although progress at many different aspects must continue beyond EuroSea, it is important that the framework has been set. It is thus suggested that an annual evaluation/assessment process for each network/task team is adopted within EuroGOOS. By going through this exercise annually, each EuroGOOS Task Team (observing network) will be able to describe its current state, assess progress and most importantly to define next targets and priorities.

Understanding tree-cover transitions, drivers and stakeholders’ perspectives for effective landscape governance: a case study of Chieng Yen Commune, Son La Province, Viet Nam. World Agroforestry, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.5716/wp21023.pdf.

Full text

Abstract:

Integrated landscape management for sustainable livelihoods and positive environmental outcomes has been desired by many developing countries, especially for mountainous areas where agricultural activities, if not well managed, will likely degrade vulnerable landscapes. This research was an attempt to characterize the landscape in Chieng Yen Commune, Son La Province in Northwest Viet Nam to generate knowledge and understanding of local conditions and to propose a workable governance mechanism to sustainably manage the landscape. ICRAF, together with national partners — Vietnamese Academy of Forest Sciences, Soil and Fertilizer Research Institute — and local partners — Son La Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, Son La Department of Natural Resources and Environment, Chieng Yen Commune People’s Committee — conducted rapid assessments in the landscape, including land-use mapping, land-use characterization, a household survey and participatory landscape assessment using an ecosystem services framework. We found that the landscape and peoples’ livelihoods are at risk from the continuous degradation of forest and agricultural land, and declining productivity, ecosystem conditions and services. Half of households live below the poverty line with insufficient agricultural production for subsistence. Unsustainable agricultural practices and other livelihood activities are causing more damage to the forest. Meanwhile, existing forest and landscape governance mechanisms are generally not inclusive of local community engagement. Initial recommendations are provided, including further assessment to address current knowledge gaps.

Abstract:

The Nationally Determined Contributions Partnership (NDCP) assists countries committed to implementing NDCs and the achievement of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. Through its Climate Action Enhancement Program (CAEP), the NDCP helps countries fast-track climate and development activities. The Government of Jamaica approached the NDCP CAEP to support its work on understanding the “Socio-economic and financial implications (past and projected) of climate change (including severe weather events/cyclones/drought) in Jamaica through the development of climate expenditure and institutional analyses and modelling”. In response to this request from the Jamaican government, the Commonwealth Secretariat agreed to support this request through its Commonwealth Climate Finance Access Hub (CCFAH). The CCFAH is a mechanism used by the Commonwealth Secretariat to support member countries in building their capacities to address climate change, meet their sustainable development goals, and assist in accessing climate finance.
