Develop digital adoption plan

Following the JWST ERS and Cycle 2 GO Announcement of Opportunity published on July 6, 2023, the CSA is providing funding via a Grant Agreement to the university to conduct their research using the JWST data.

The amount of cooler gas in the center of galaxy clusters is about 10 percent of the amount expected from simple cooling. The central radio source associated with the bright central galaxy has been identified as the origin of the heating. This project uses JWST observations combined with previous multi-observatory, multiwavelength observations to investigate how the central radio source is able to re-heat the gas called the intracluster medium, or ICM.

This project aims to improve gender-responsive climate smart agriculture and food systems in the Caribbean. It recognizes the disproportionate impact of food price inflation, supply chain disruptions and climate change on the region. This project supports women and vulnerable groups in achieving food security and enhancing resilience to climate change. Project activities include: (1) designing and sharing knowledge products to facilitate the adoption of gender-responsive climate smart technologies, innovations, and practices; (2) enhancing production facilities to improve operations, climate resilience, quality, and reduce harvest loss and waste; and (3) developing and implementing gender-responsive decision-support tools for multi-hazard risk management.

Project activities include: (1) helping at least 570 - 900 million people in the poorest and most vulnerable developing countries adapt to the effects of climate change; and (2) reducing greenhouse gas emissions by at least 1.5 to 2.4 billion tonnes.

This grant represents Canada’s support to the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) in funding their implementation of in-country and on-the-ground technical, logistical and coordination support for the 4th International UN Conference on Small Island Developing States (SIDS4).

The objectives of this project are to improve secure access to land and increase sustainable livelihood opportunities among MAG’s staff to transition from demining to alternative employment opportunities. This project would result in 64,960m2 of land being cleared from confirmed hazardous areas, as well as a range of MAG-pioneered staff transition activities. It would directly contribute to Sri Lanka’s transition to being landmine-free by 2027. Project activities include: (1) deploy two Mine Action Teams (MAT), 1 Mechanical Support Team (MST), 1 Casualty Evacuation Team (CET), and 1 Community Liaison Team (CLT) to support landmine clearance activities; (2) conduct pre and post clearance impact assessments and quality assurance visits to operational areas; (3) conduct tailor-made capacity-building, leadership and other life skills training to at-risk female deminers and other operations staff to successfully handle the transition process; and, (4) train, orient and refer field staff and organisations to diversify their sources of income, while establishing public-private partnerships.
