Its Provincial Urban Deer Operational Cost-Share program matches up to $100,000 annually for communities developing socially acceptable deer management solutions and will soon let municipalities apply for the 2022-23 year. A temporary pause on the program was initially planned so researchers could rule out environmental factors that may contribute to deer population growth, but Fisher said Oak Bay council chose to keep it running to maintain lower numbers and will help decide what happens next. It also supports the UWSS program, a spokesperson confirmed. The Urban Wildlife Stewardship Society (UWSS) continues to analyze data from the program’s third year and aims to pursue a sustainable future for deer and residents alike. “I’m hoping to see a sustained reduction in fawns every year,” she said, adding population numbers for 2021-22 are still being finalized.

It remains to be seen, however, whether the tensions between proponents and skeptics of a standalone fund can be resolved and whether agreement on better defining industry involvement in the financing of chemicals and waste management can be reached. The International Institute for Sustainable Development acknowledges the financial contribution of the GEF to the development of this policy brief. [Inter-Organization Programme for the Sound Management of Chemicals](https://partnership.who.int/iomc/home) (IOMC) to conduct an in-depth assessment of what data is already collected or could be collected through existing mechanisms. In [Resolution III/1](https://saicm.org/Portals/12/documents/meetings/ICCM3/doc/K1283429e.pdf), ICCM3 called for the proposal to be finalized and underscored the relevance of the approach for SAICM. Define what industrial involvement entails: The study recommends that stakeholders first articulate which activities are needed to implement the industry involvement component of the integrated approach to financing, and identify the relevant stakeholders involved for each. The SAICM Secretariat, in consultation with the Bureau and the intersessional process Co-Chairs, prepared a “ [compilation of recommendations](https://saicm.org/Portals/12/documents/meetings/IP4/2022/SAICM_IP.4_2_Rev.1_Compilation%20of%20recommendations%20for%20ICCM5.pdf)” from prior intersessional process meetings and the virtual working groups for consideration at the fourth intersessional process meeting in Bucharest. [September 2012](https://enb.iisd.org/events/3rd-session-international-conference-chemicals-management-iccm3/summary-report-17-21) delegates discussed long-term financing options for SAICM, deciding to extend the life of the Programme until ICCM4. [mandate](https://www.basel.int/Portals/4/download.aspx?d=UNEP-FAO-CHW-RC-POPS-EXCOPS.2-INF-20.English.pdf) to provide an evaluation of the integrated approach no later than six years after its approval, and to inform the discussions of ICCM5, in March 2019, the UNEP Executive Director submitted to [UNEA-4](https://enb.iisd.org/events/4th-meeting-oecpr-and-4th-session-unea) an [evaluation](http://wedocs.unep.org/bitstream/handle/20.500.11822/31191/inf16-evaluation_of_intergrated_app.pdf?sequence=2&isAllowed=y), noting some improvement in the dedicated external financing component, particularly in greater GEF funding and the establishment of the Special Programme. [Basel Convention](http://www.basel.int/) on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and their Disposal, whose adoption in 1989 preceded the Rio Summit, and the [Rotterdam Convention](http://www.pic.int/) on the Prior Informed Consent Procedure for Certain Hazardous Chemicals and Pesticides in International Trade, adopted in 1998, did not provide for a financial mechanism to support their implementation, although the African Group repeatedly pushed for adding one to the Rotterdam Convention. The integrated approach then became the de facto baseline of any future discussion in global forums on financing for chemicals and waste management. ICCM4 decided to launch an intersessional process aimed at designing a post-2020 framework or platform for the sound management of both chemicals and waste for consideration by ICCM5 in 2020. To facilitate the meeting’s discussions on financial resources, the SAICM Secretariat has coordinated the development of a ‘ [Study on Industry Involvement in the Integrated Approach to Financing the Sound Management of Chemicals and Waste](https://saicm.org/Portals/12/documents/meetings/IP4/2022/SAICM_IP.4_INF_22.pdf),’ published by the [UN Environment Progamme](http://www.unep.org) (UNEP).

MIT scientists tested a pilot application using seismometers to measure and track changes in groundwater aquifers. This method is more cost-effective and ...
Mao emphasizes that this study is just the beginning of exploring possible applications of seismic noise interferometry in this way. For their pilot application, Mao and her team applied this analysis to basins in the Metropolitan Los Angeles region, an area suffering from worsening drought and a growing population. But in recent years scientists have shown that the continuous noise records in fact contain a wealth of information about the properties and structures of the Earth’s interior.” Seismic velocity measurements are unique to the mechanical state of rocks, or the ways rocks respond to their physical environment, and can tell us a lot about them. Mao, currently a Thompson Postdoctoral Fellow in the Geophysics department at Stanford University, conducted most of the research during her PhD in MIT’s Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences (EAPS). “It provides a new way to dictate groundwater management and evaluate the impact of human activity on shaping underground hydrologic systems.”

The constant mental toll of diabetes management can make it difficult to make positive changes. Experts at the Association of Diabetes Care and Education ...
After shifting to a growth mindset, Grant suggests creating “if-then” plans to help with behavioral change. Creating “if-then” plans for daily life situations can help establish daily routines and prevent situations where people deliberate whether or not to do their desired behavior when the time comes. Approaching the challenge of diabetes management with a fixed mindset can make people question their capabilities right from the start, she said. Preparing and putting oneself in a position to succeed is a necessary part of the process. Even with the desire to change, these feelings can make it hard to incorporate changes into daily life and stick to them over time. Experts at the Association of Diabetes Care and Education Specialists (ADCES) 2022 annual conference shared some strategies to change mindsets and avoid setbacks when trying to make lifestyle changes.
