Raras fotos de Buenos Aires en los ´20!!!

En nombre de Lucio Bruno-Videla el 26 de mayo de 2012 escribió:

Este es un documento muy raro y no muy difundido , ver las fotos en detalle para reconocer alrededores y estado de la ciudad en esos lejanos dias.

Estas fotografías pertenecientes al álbum familiar de la Flia. Borra, fueron tomadas por la dupla Juan Bautista Borra y Enrique Broiszeit en la década del 20.

En los comienzos de los años 20 Juan Bautista borra  establece amistad con Enrique Broiszeit, quien ya trabajaba en el campo de la fotografía. A partir de entonces quedan unidos por la pasión a  los aviones y las fotos.

Comienzan así a trabajar juntos  haciendo fotografía aérea hasta aproximadamente los años 30.

El 26-02-1926, en un viaje histórico llega  a Buenos Aires el Comandante Ramón Franco en el hidroavión Plus Ultra y el  dúo Borra- Broiszeit es  contratado por los diarios La Razón y La Prensa como reportero gráfico, quedando registradas las fotografías aéreas en las ediciones correspondientes. (El referido avión, esta exhibido  en el Museo de la ciudad de Lujan.)

Borra nace en Buenos Aires el 22 de Agosto de 1896 y llega a Marcos Paz en el año 1935 cuando tenía 39 años.

Trabajó en su profesión de tipógrafo y en el año 37 inaugura el estudio fotográfico de la calle Rivadavia 1175 de esa localidad,  registrando toda la actividad del pueblo.

Fue corresponsal acreditado de la Revista Caras y Caretas, Diario Crítica, La Razón, Noticias Gráficas, el periódico Nuevos Rumbos y La Voz de San Antonio de Padua.

En 1940, cuando el ciclón devastó el pueblo, don Juan lleva a Buenos Aires los negativos de las fotos tomadas del desastre y sensibiliza a toda la prensa nacional que se hace eco y destaca  en sus medios el hecho.

Podemos afirmar  que, la mayor parte de las fotografías que están dispersas por esa comunidad, correspondientes al período 1937- 1964 (año en que lo sorprende la muerte),  son de su autoría.

New book: The Politics of Climate change and the Global crisis

New book: The Politics of Climate change and the Global crisis
Praful Bidwai

Transnational Institute/Orient BlackSwan (November 2011)
ISBN: 978-81-250-4503-8

"The Politics of Climate Change and the Global Crisis" is one of the first books to examine India as an example of an 'emerging economy' major polluter, which can potentially both aid or obstruct the fight against climate change. It analyses the role of the BASIC (Brazil, South Africa, India, China) grouping and the short-term calculations of industrialised nations in the climate talks.

The author Praful Bidwai is a fellow of the Transnational Institute, a former Senior Editor of The Times of India and one of South Asia's most widely published columnists, whose articles appear in more than 25 newspapers and magazines.

Bidwai argues that the climate crisis aggravates the global developmental crisis and is intimately linked through the prevalent iniquitous development model to grave economic, social and political crises in evidence globally. He puts forward alternatives to this dismal situation, based on equity, resource conservation, curbs on luxury consumption, promotion of renewable energy and new patterns of production and consumption which sustain low-carbon development. What the global effort lacks is candid acknowledgement of the need for a qualitative change in the growth model and the will to bring it about through democratic popular participation.

Written lucidly, this volume is mandatory reading for social scientists, environmentalists, civil servants, social activists and environmentally conscious citizens.

"Praful Bidwai energises the [climate] debate by bringing up a fresh perspective... He takes us beyond the discourse based on the right to pollute and even be rewarded for it through trade in emissions. He shows us as planetary citizens, people are creating imaginative and lasting solutions" (Vandana Shiva, Right Livelihood Awardee)

New CDKN reports will help developing countries plan for climate extremes

The Climate and Development Knowledge Network (CDKN) today launches a three-part series of reports, "Managing Climate Extremes and Disasters: Lessons from the IPCC SREX Report" covering each of the Asia, Africa and Latin American and Caribbean regions.

The reports highlight the scientific findings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC) Special Report on Managing the Risks of Extreme Events and Disasters to Advance Climate Change Adaptation (known as 'SREX') for each region, and discuss the implications for society.

The SREX report itself was compiled over two and a half years, involving 220 expert authors, 19 review editors and a four-day approval process by government representatives from around the world. The final 594 page report and its 20 page summary present a rich but sobering account of how different forms of extreme weather events – ranging from high temperatures to heavy rainfall – are likely to become more common by the end of the 21^st century, and are more likely to be caused by climate change.

The CDKN "Lessons from the IPCC SREX Report" series pulls out the state-of-the-art knowledge about current and future impacts of climate extremes, and options for dealing with them.

Sam Bickersteth, CDKN's Chief Executive, said: "The SREX report is a monumental achievement, but CDKN wanted to help policy-makers, media, businesses and civil society stakeholders to navigate this huge resource. That's why we produced these regional guides which are easy to use, but preserve the careful scientific language of the original."

"Climate models are not sufficiently fine-tuned to give country-by-country projections for future climate extremes, but the SREX report includes important data about likely trends by sub-region" said Dr Tom Mitchell of Overseas Development Institute, CDKN's technical lead for the project and a co-author of the IPCC SREX report.

"For example: if you live on the Tibetan Plateau in Asia, or on the West Coast of South America, the climate science tells you with a degree of confidence that your area will experience higher daily temperatures by the end of the century. We have distilled similar information on temperature and rainfall extremes region by region, to make it easy to follow."

CDKN's "Managing Climate Extremes and Disasters: Lessons from the IPCC SREX Reports" for Asia, Africa and Latin American and Caribbean regions are now available for download:

Lessons from the IPCC SREX report for Asia

Lessons from the IPCC SREX report for Africa

Lessons from the IPCC SREX report for Latin America and the Caribbean (also available in Spanish)

CDKN is collaborating with the IPCC, the Overseas Development Institute, Norway's Climate and Pollution Agency and Norway's Ministry of Foreign Affairs to organise a series of outreach events in Asia, Africa and Latin America and the Caribbean in April-June 2012, which will give policy-makers, media, civil society and business representatives the chance to discuss the SREX findings in person. Many of these events will be livestreamed on the CDKN website. The first event is in Havana, Cuba on 18-19 April. Please find further details of the events series on www.cdkn.org/srex

The full IPCC SREX report and policy-makers summary is available on http://ipcc-wg2.gov/SREX/

Achim Steiner Lecture in Rome and climate science&policy updates by CMCC

From Ufficio Stampa <ufficiostampa@cmcc.it>

Dear Climate-L Subscribers,
the Euro-Mediterranean Centre on Climate Change is happy to announce the publications of new stories in the magazine Climate Science&Policy:

1. The sustainable transition. Overcoming the crises from Rio to Rio and beyond
http://www.climatescienceandpolicy.eu/2012/03/the-sustainable-transition-overcoming-the-crises-from-rio-to-rio-and-beyond/
UN Under-Secretary General and Executive Director at the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) Achim Steiner was asked to deliver the Aurelio Peccei Lecture  in Rome, 30 March 2012. the full version of the lecture "Learning to Live on Only One Planet—Towards the UN Summit in Rio" is available on the website Climate Science&Policy.
Rio+20 needs to be more than just economics and has to cope with fundamental barriers, Achim Steiner says. A suite of persistent, evolving and emerging crises is becoming real and is going to affect our lives in the long term. To deal with subsidies is good in the short period but is not enough and we should focus on critical sectors of the economy such as human and natural capital. Starting from a question that was raised twenty years ago: did the Rio Earth Summit of 1992 fail? It did not; it rather laid the foundations upon which a new generation of leaders must build something.

2. Putting agriculture front and center in policy considerations
http://www.climatescienceandpolicy.eu/2012/04/putting-agriculture-front-and-center-in-policy-considerations/
Food security should be considered along with human rights. That's why climate negotiations need to value the impacts of climate change on land use for they are rather relevant. In this conversation with Climate Science & Policy, Molly Jahn – Professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and co – author of "What next for agriculture after Durban?" – points out the need to foster the integration of agriculture in climate talks. We are going to face negative impacts but some benefits as well, Molly Jahn says, and to include them in the conversation on REDD+(as in the "Durban Platform for Enhanced Action") is a first step. In any case, we should consider food security and agriculture among the highest priority

3. Climate change and its humanitarian consequences. Understanding a long term interplay
http://www.climatescienceandpolicy.eu/2012/03/climate-change-and-its-humanitarian-consequences-understanding-a-long-term-interplay/
Addressing the nexus among climate change, human migrations and resulting conflicts – which are already beginning to merge in ways that reshape the conventional comprehension of national security – is a key challenge of the 21st century. These facts also demand a rethinking of the traditional divisions between diplomacy, defence, and economic, social and environmental development policy abroad. Tackling this complex issue requires understanding, preparation and new models of regional cooperation. The "Climate Change, Migration, and Conflict: Addressing complex crisis scenarios in the 21st Century" report discusses the complex interaction among climate, migrations and conflicts. Michael Werz, Senior Fellow at the American Progress and one of the authors of the report, introduces the topic of sustainable security in the future of international cooperation.
