What is COP21? The international political response to climate change began at the Rio Earth Summit in 1992, where the ‘Rio Convention’ included the adoption of the UN Framework on Climate Change (UNFCCC). This convention set out a framework for action aimed at stabilising atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases (GHGs) to avoid “dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system.” The UNFCCC which entered into force on 21 March 1994, now has a near-universal membership of 195 parties. The main objective of the annual Conference of Parties (COP) is to review the Convention’s implementation. The first COP took place in Berlin in 1995 and significant meetings since then have included COP3 where the Kyoto Protocol was adopted, COP11 where the Montreal Action Plan was produced, COP15 in Copenhagen where an agreement to success Kyoto Protocol was unfortunately not realised and COP17 in Durban where the Green Climate Fund was created. In 2015 COP21, also known as the 2015 Paris Climate Conference, will, for the first time in over 20 years of UN negotiations, aim to achieve a legally binding and universal agreement on climate, with the aim of keeping global warming below 2°C. France will play a leading international role in hosting this seminal conference, and COP21 will be one of the largest international conferences ever held in the country. The conference is expected to attract close to 50,000 participants including 25,000 official delegates from government, intergovernmental organisations, UN agencies, NGOs and civil society.

Qingdao, in East China’s Shandong province, will welcomes visitors from around the world for the 2014 International Horticultural Exposition. And It is the first coastal city to host this international event.     Design concepts and progress The whole garden is divided into 7 color zones, The red zone will combine exhibition gardens from China’s municipalities and cities from Shandong province; the orange zone aims to bring green concepts to visitors; the yellow herb zone will display how plants fight against pollution and disease; the green zone is designed to provide a garden paradise for children; the light green area will display nature through the latest scientific applications; the blue area will display advanced low-carbon technologies for green enterprises; the purple area will be an international garden where various countries can display their horticultural characteristics. The demolition of houses in the area has been completed and roads and infrastructure are under construction, and trees are being planted strategically to be in full bloom when the expo begins operation. A trial run of the expo park will begin by the end of March 2014, followed by the formal opening of the expo from April to October 2014. Unique characteristics Building an event in “world-class Chinese fashion; Shandong characteristics and Qingdao brand,” is the objective of the expo, according to Li. (Director of Qingdao Horticultural Expo Bureau and secretary-general of the Qingdao Horticultural Expo organizing committee). “It’s the 1st time the horticultural expo will be held in a coastal city in China, so aquatic plants and marine plants will be of particular interest to visitors,” said Li. Baiguo Mountain contains a lotus garden boasting more than 1,200 kinds of water lilies, including some rarities, Li said. He said the organizing committee is working with the Ocean University of China to display types of marine flora. “Most people know what beer tastes like, but little have seen hop flowers. So we may exhibit Qingdao’s branded enterprises such as Tsingdao Beer in the park,” he added. Wu added, however, the biggest highlight of the expo is to integrate the expo park with the surrounding décor of mountains and water, just like seven heavenly maidens scattering flowers and colorful belts to the earth. In terms of innovation, the Qingdao expo will use the latest technology, such as greening the roofs of all buildings, the world’s longest flower road, full Bluetooth coverage and displays reviewing previous horticultural expositions, according to Wu. In harmony with nature The expo’s organizing committee has invited Qingdao Agricultural University to conduct a general investigation of the plant resources. Birds and animals in and around the park as well as plants will be chosen according to environmental impact,” according to Li. Priority is given to protection of plants in the construction plan, such as watering and dust collecting equipment installed on drilling machines to control dust. As well, the committee is working with Tongji University to utilize kitchen and bath water for irrigation. “The horticultural expo aims to maintain Qingdao’s draw and garner constant attention from the world,” said Li.

The Secondary Industry Apprenticeship Program (PIMA) was introduced by the Ministry of Education Malaysia (KPM) to open up opportunities for undergraduate and undergraduate students in academics. It helps students to acquire industry-related skills during their secondary school. A joint venture program with the industry network will expose students with hands-on skills training. PIMA is a special program offered for Form Four and Five students who do not excel academically. Under the program, the students would only attend school for only two days in a week, with the remaining days of training at designated industrial centres. PIMA sets 60% of the learning time in the industrial area while 40% of academic studies in schools aim to equip students with vocational skills in line with industry demand The objective of PIMA is to overcome the dropout of students at the upper secondary level, providing learning alternatives to students at risk of dropout, raising learning interest through hands-on experience in the industry and providing the opportunity to apply the knowledge and theories learned in the industry in the real world. As our efforts to give back to our local community, SJH Nursery & Landscaping Sdn Bhd has adopted 2 of the PIMA program students. read more
