Golf and the city
Skyscrapers reaching for the sky, elegant stores on Fifth Avenue, yellow cabs, and stockbrokers on the verge of a nervous breakdown: That's New York. But golf never springs to mind. Why is that?
Golf and the city
The Bronx. Fenced-in basketball courts, street gangs swinging knives. That's what you'd expect to find in this sweltering, noisy part of the city. But the swings taken here are very different, more distinguished, and the result is rarely a bloody nose – unless, of course, you manage to bash yourself on the head with your own 9 iron. So no bulging biceps, ghetto blasters or violence? No club-swinging thugs? No, the only club-swinging you'll find here is kids swinging their gleaming golf clubs in the sunshine. Right in the center of town.
The city is getting into the swing. Even in downtown Manhattan golf balls fly out of a four-level range toward the Hudson River before being gently intercepted by a net. Another option, albeit an incredibly expensive one, is to take a water taxi past the Statue of Liberty to one of two super, if strictly private, courses. New York City, home to eight million people, doesn't exactly have a reputation as a golfing destination, even though four of its five districts have fantastic courses, including some public ones with a great downtown feel.
It wasn't always like this. There was a time when stolen cars burned on the fairways; their smoldering tires stinking to high heaven.
There was no sand in the bunkers, the grass looked more like a freshly harvested field and the sun scorched the greens into a dusty brown desert. Then in 1983 the park authorities, who were in charge of most of the courses, entrusted their management to professional firms – and laid the foundations for a success story.
But New Yorkers don't just golf on the courses; they play it on playgrounds in the middle of the park, too. Park authorities run summer courses where kids can learn to chip and drive. Because the ground is so hard, the ball is placed on small artificial turf mats. The city provides the equipment and the coaches, and budding young golfers with a knack for the game even get a chance to play with their coach on a full-size golf course.
The First Tee is a project aimed at introducing children to golf as a way of teaching them rules and values that are relevant to every-day life. Up to 4000 children from age seven to 17 happily take up the offer every summer. The training base is the nine-hole Mosholu Golf Course in the Bronx, which is easy to get to on the subway.
Two exclusive clubs, the Bayonne and the Liberty National Golf Club, are decidedly the other side of the coin. Although worlds away in neighboring New Jersey, their members enjoy a perfect view of the Manhattan skyline, and they naturally also consider themselves a cut above the rest. Both courses occupy formerly highly contaminated dockland sites and have been laid out as links, just like the oldest courses in Scotland.
It cost 150 million dollars to create the Liberty Golf Course, making it one of the most expensive in the world. Brokers whiz across to the first tee from Battery Park at the southern tip of Manhattan in the club's own water taxis – or climb into a helicopter.
The hill-top clubhouse in Bayonne stands majestically over the course like an old mansion. It wasn't long before the Liberty Club next door had to polish up its image in order to keep up: A futuristic and gigantic skyscraper-style clubhouse was their answer. This much luxury of course has its price. In the case of the more affordable Bayonne, that's a membership fee of 150 000 US dollars, at the Liberty it's a hefty 450 000 dollars.
Good to know that at least one of the best and most difficult courses in America is public and affordable – the famous Black Course at Bethpage Park on Long Island, where the US Open was contested in 2002 and 2009.
To play this course you need to be a tough cookie, as the Americans put it. There's even a warning sign at the first tee about how difficult the course is. Toughness is necessary as well if you want to snatch up one of the limited tee times. True golf fans will even turn up the day before and camp out in the parking lot all night, just to wait in line for a turn. Just like Frank Sinatra, they clearly "want to wake up in a city, that never sleeps."
The Manhattan skyline as backdrop:
The Liberty National Golf Club built one of the most expensive golf courses in the world on a once contaminated waterfront site; the project guzzled a cool 150 million dollars. Sadly, the exclusive course is open only to club members, who shell out 450 000 dollars for the privilege.

Novices? No thanks! At Bethpage Park on Long Island, the Black Course comes with a warning notice recommending all but the most highly skilled golfers to give this extremely difficult course a wide berth. And it's true, the Black Course really does attract the best of the best – the US Open has been held here twice already. Luckily Bethpage Park has four other courses that are ideal for the less than professional player.
Bethpage State Park Golf Course: 99 Quaker Meeting House Road, Farmingdale, Tel.: +1/516 249 0701. www.nysparks.com/parks/108/details.aspx
Brooklyn also has its golf, of course: The 18-hole Dyker Beach course is situated right at the heart of this buzzing New York borough. Through the tops of its tree-lined fairways you can glimpse the pylons of the spectacular Verrazano Narrows Suspension Bridge as they reach for the sky.
Brooklyn Dyker Beach Golf Course: 86th Street and 7th Avenue, Tel.: +1/718 836 9722 www.dykerbeach.americangolf.com
Take your pick: The price of a short game on the pitch and putt course at the famous tennis stadium Flushing Meadows (Queens Flushing Meadows Golf Center, green fee starting at 14,50 dollars) is particularly reasonable. A round at the affectionately nicknamed Vannie, the oldest public course in the United States (Bronx Van Cortlandt Park Golf Course) can also be head for a comparatively small sum (green fee starting at 19 dollars).
Queens Flushing Meadows Golf Center. 100 Flushing Meadows Park, Tel.: +1/718 2718182. Bronx Van Cortlandt Park Golf Course: 115 Van Cortlandt Park South, Tel.: +1/718 543 4595. www.golfnyc.com (both courses).
Golf city New York: Millions in public subsidies cleaned up the sometimes desolate courses and put them back on their feet. The metropolis now has some exclusive, members-only courses as well as gorgeous greens and fairways for John and Jane Doe – some of them within easy reach by bus or subway.

Child's play: Kids from seven to 17 learn how to drive and putt on the summer courses laid on for them by the park authorities in an initiative called "The First Tee." Each year, The First Tee introduces up to 4000 children park not only to the world of golf but also to values that will serve them as they move through life.

додав Jkmh 10 Вересня 2008
One who is very practical and seemingly stoic but unknown to many outsiders has a very sensitive disposition. Maxims are composed of a rare mixture of professionalism and fratitude, often glorified by their male peer base for outrageous behavior and profound judgments. Maxims are adored by many female admirers due to their great backsides and choice of cologne. If you are ever caught alone with a Maxim and he orders you the atrocious fire, you can guarantee it's love.
Don't ever look a Maxim in the eye when you are about to challenge his authority.
додав Chelzeann 31 Липня 2013
An utterly worthless "men's magazine" (men being 15 year olds) that's about half advertisements, the other half consisting of articles encouraging you to buy certain hot, new products (read: more advertisements). Though often purchased for its promise of titillating female celebrity photos, the American version fails completely at this task as it is afraid to show its models in anything less than conservative lingerie.
After getting to the eighth page of my new issue of Maxim without seeing anything other than ads, I decided to close the idiotic periodical before I lost any more brain cells.

A laddie magazine, so softcore, they don't show nipples or bush. Porn for people who are afraid to buy porn. That being said, at least they have female celebrities in there.

Dublin: Exploring the Emerald Isle
Ireland is blessed with a variety of fascinating landscapes that will leave visitors spoiled for choice. Should they explore rugged County Donegal in the north, the spectacular Ring of Kerry down on the west coast, or maybe the magical palm gardens in the south, near Cork? Or simply fly to Dublin, where ancient Celtic sites, beautiful castles and small fishing villages are right on the doorstep?
Howth Head peninsula, east of Dublin, extends far out into the open sea. It used to be an island but has long been connected to the mainland by a narrow strip of land. These days, the small town of Howth is within easy reach of the city thanks to the DART, Dublin's suburban railway – and has become a popular spot for day trips. Visitors come mainly for the excellent seafood restaurants and the breathtaking cliffs, which attract ramblers and also provide a refuge for several bird species as well as some of the best spots for anglers. Local points of interest include Ireland's Eye, a small island and bird sanctuary out in the bay, and Howth Castle, which was immortalized by James Joyce in his novel Finnegan's Wake.
Howth: www.howthismagic.com. Howth Castle: Tours of the castle, which is still occupied, are available only to groups and by arrangement. www.howthcastle.ie
Wicklow Mountains:
Green peaks, vast bogs, ancient monasteries and stately homes – the Wicklow Mountains rise into the sky just south of the capital. Many Dubliners come here on the weekend to explore this magnificent stretch of country on foot. But with the River Slaney flowing through the area, there are also rapids to tempt rafters and trout and salmon enough to gladden any angler's heart. If historical buildings are more up your street, the medieval monastic settlement at Glendalough and Powerscourt House with its extensive gardens – said to be the finest of their kind in all of Ireland – are both well worth a visit.
Wicklow County Tourism: www.visitwicklow.ie. Glendalough, County Wicklow: www.glendalough.ie. Powerscourt Estate: www.powerscourt.ie
Holy hill: An ancient barrow almost 5000 years old, the Hill of Tara is one of the most important prehistoric and ancient sites in Ireland. The elevation north of Dublin is also the site of the legendary Stone of Destiny, which is said to have given a joyful roar when touched by the rightful king of Ireland. Tara is a place of myth and mystery and even historians are unable to distinguish with certainty between fairy tale and reality. Is this really where the legendary High Kings of Ireland were crowned? Or was the hill in fact a pagan site? Its later symbolic significance for the Irish freedom fighters is undisputed, however; in the mid-19th century, more than a million Irish people came to the Stone of Destiny to protest against the British occupation.

We thought this casserole looked pretty unappealing when served up, but the taste was excellent, and it only got better when refridgerated or frozen for leftovers. The only change I made was to use homemade enchilada sauce for a fresher, spicier zing. I will definitely make this recipe again. Individually frozen portions go straight from the freezer to the mirowave for a very easy lunch.

NCAA Champions! Distance Medley Relay Wins!
Watch ESPN3 Replay (go to 3:45 mark)
ESPNU will air tape relay on Sunday (3/17) from 7-9 p.m., ET
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (3/8/13) - The Princeton men's distance medley relay is the 2013 NCAA Champions!
Senior Peter Callahan was like a slingshot as he left the competition in the dust as the bell sounded for the final lap helping to bring home Princeton's first indoor national title since 2002 and first on the track since 1975.
Junior Michael Williams led off in the 1200 meters and gradually moved his way up into sixth place. Williams has a great relay resume with two Penn Relay Championship of America wins under his belt in the 4xMile and DMR from last spring. He clocked a 2:56.55 in the 1200.
On the 400 leg, it was senior Austin Hollimon. Hollimon, who competed in the US Olympic trials in the 400m hurdles this past summer, rounded the track and moved up one place to fifth with the fastest 400 leg off the 12 teams at 46.35.
Hollimon passed off to senior Russell Dinkins for the 800. Dinkins, a two-time All-America outdoors, inched up into fourth place. With two laps left in the 800, Penn State started to gap but Dinkins remained in the front pack. With one lap remaining Dinkins turned on the heat and started closing in on Penn State and handed off to Callahan with the Tigers in third place. Dinkins time was the second fastest in the 800 at 1:48.92.
An All-America and sub-4-minute-miler Callahan has been a hidden gem for the Tigers. After a big indoor season last year, Callahan did not compete outdoors, this fall in cross country and most of the indoor season as he recovered from an injury. There was no affect of that injury has he took the baton and settled into third place and looking comfortable on the inside.
The teams were still all bunched together but it was Penn State, Minnesota and Princeton at the front. Eight hundred meters in and Callahan was still on the inside, not ready to make his move yet and sitting in fourth place. With three laps remaining Arkansas Kemoy Campbell nudged Callahan and Callahan nudged back. Villanova started to make a move past both teams on the outside but tripped and Arkansas lost the baton. Callahan with 1.5 laps remaining the pace picked up and as the bell sounded Callahan dropped the hammer, running a 4:01.11 his leg.
Princeton won the race at 9:33.01. Penn State was the runner-up at 9:34.00 and Minnesota was third at 9:34.21.
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (3/9/13) - Junior Damon McLean finished 14th in the triple jump at the NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships at the University of Arkansas on Saturday, March 9. It marked Princeton's final event of the indoor season.
McLean finished eighth in his flight with a jump of 15.44m (50-8) which came on his first attempt. He reached 15.26 on his second and 14.99 on his third attempt.
This was his first time competing in the national indoor championship. McLean was eighth at the 2012 outdoor championship with a PR of 16.03.
McLean won Heps titles in both the triple and long jump and was named the co-Outstanding Field Performer of the Meet.

Most truck driving schools charge $4,000-$6,000. With CRST, we give the option of either 100% sponsored training in an accredited school with the shortest employment commitment in the industry or the option of paying only $2,500 and receiving top quality training, higher wages and a sign on bonus.
On the Road
Once you complete training and receive your CDL Class A license, you will go out on the road with an experienced driver for 28 days which allows you to gain valuable truck driving experience. After 28 days, you will be paired with another experienced truck driver who you will get further training from to help you learn how to truly operate a truck. Our program is different because we get you certified and out on the road faster, which means you will make money much faster than traditional training programs offered by other carriers. What also makes us different is that most truck driving companies make you wait 90 days before your benefits kick in. With us, you get benefits within your first 30 days. Plus, once you're driving for CRST, there will be plenty of incentives to keep you and your family happy.

text: My course is called Language and Contemporary Song Lyrics and it features a mix of students that are from Grades 10-12. This English Language Arts option course was a natural fit for the Voice your Choice project as it dealt with many of the same concerns that the course is focused upon already. My students first determined that they would select artists that would fulfill the current objectives set out by the RRHOF for induction but with a twist; the selections would occur 25 years in the future so that all artists could be considered for induction. Students presented their inductees in a variety of formats, ranging from traditional persuasive essays to Power Point presentations featuring a wide array of visual and multimedia supplements. The big challenges faced by students were in determining their artist of focus and if selecting a current artist, making sure that they had enough evidence to fully support their validity. Students worked through their challenges by reviewing the RRHOF parameters for induction and also reviewing artists that have already been enshrined; what did they have that suggested excellence and aesthetic value. Additionally, the resources supplied by the RRHOF education department for the Voice your Choice project served as an excellent guide and starting point. Many times, students would go to the Voice your Choice website to regain focus or simply reframe what it was that they were working on or think further about what directions to take. Students gained an authentic appreciation for the difficult task of induction at the RRHOF as well as a deeper insight towards topics already being discussed in the course, such as what constitutes musical excellence, and how one measures aesthetics. The completion of this project will benefit further areas of focus within the course this semester and will undoubtedly be used again in the future.

Top Definition
A shortened form of a word or phrase.
Types of abbreviations:
There are four main kinds of abbreviations: shortenings, contractions, initialisms, and acronyms. 1 Shortenings of words usually consist of the first few letters of the full form and are usually spelled with a final period when they are still regarded as abbreviations, for example, cont. = continued, in = inch. In the cases when they form words in their own right, the period is omitted, for example, hippo = hippopotamus, limo = limousine. Such shortenings are often but not always informal. Some become the standard forms, and the full forms are then regarded as formal or technical, for example, bus = omnibus, taxi = taxicab, deli = delicatessen, zoo = zoological garden. Sometimes shortenings are altered to facilitate their pronunciation or spelling: bike = bicycle2 Contractions are abbreviated forms in which letters from the middle of the full form have been omitted, for example, Dr. = doctor, St. = saint or street. Such forms are invariably followed by a period. Another kind of contraction is the type with an apostrophe marking the omission of letters: can't = cannot, didn't = did not, you've = you have. 3 Initialisms are made up of the initial letters of words and are pronounced as separate letters: CIA (or C.I.A.), NYC, pm (or p.m.), U.S. (or US). Practice varies with regard to periods, with current usage increasingly in favor of omitting them, especially when the initialism consists entirely of capital letters. 4 Acronyms are initialisms that have become words in their own right, or similar words formed from parts of several words. They are pronounced as words rather than as a series of letters, for example, AIDS, laser, scuba, UNESCO, and do not have periods. In many cases the acronym becomes the standard term and the full form is only used in explanatory contexts.
An example of an abbreviation is abbr, which is short for "abbreviation".

Whats less fun than getting stuck in a nasty traffic jam? Getting cooked in your car on a hot day.
Summer's right around the corner and your vehicle's air conditioning system will soon be under serious strain.
If your A/C isn't as frosty as it used to be, but it's still blowing, the system may need to be recharged. Manufacturers used to use a type of refrigerant known as Freon. Now, manufacturers use R-134a to keep things cold in the cabin.
Working on a vehicles air conditioning system is about as much fun as sticking your hand in a blender. Twice.
Unless you are skilled in vehicle maintenance, its safest to take the job to a professional.
An AC compressor is usually driven by your vehicle's serpentine belt, and as it spins, it pressurizes the system's refrigerant. It's this change in pressure that cools the air coming into your cabin. The best way to keep your compressor from failing is to have your A/C system serviced once a year.
If your compressor needs replacement, most responsible shops will recommend swapping out a number of peripheral components at the same time.
Bernards, which has been in business since 1925, services our clients foreign, domestic, hybrid and electric cars, trucks, vans and motorcycles. We offer free pickup and delivery for our customers convenience.
Plan ahead and stay cool this season!

Summer's imminent arrival means your vehicle's air conditioning system will soon be under serious strain.
If your A/C isn't as frosty as it used to be, but it's still blowing cold, the system may need to be recharged.
Manufacturers used to use a type of refrigerant known as R-12, or Freon, until researchers found it caused ozone depletion. As such, it's illegal to use Freon in vehicles built after 1994. Now, manufacturers use R-134a to keep things cold in the cabin.

Why? The easy answer is working on an air conditioning system is about as fun as sticking your hand in a blender. Twice.
To avoid draining your refrigerant, removing your compressor, installing a new unit and refilling the system with new cool stuff only to have you come back in a week and say it's still not cold enough it makes sense to replace the necessary components.

As the inspirational saying goes, Live less out of habit and more out of intent.
While its true that starting a fitness routine can be difficult, I offer the following tips to get you in the gym door and on the road to good health.
Assessment New SNAP Fitness clients receive a free jump-start session, including consultation with a trainer. The assessment determines the clients baseline, helps us guide their first steps, and is an opportunity to discuss adding personal training.
Cardio The national recommendation for exercise for all ages and fitness levels is to get to the gym at least three days per week, and to do a minimum of 30 minutes of cardio per visit. Working out with a friend will make it more fun, help you feel more accountable, help you stay at the gym for more months and achieve a higher level of success.
Strength training is key to replacing fat with muscle, becoming leaner, stronger and improving balance. Do two to three sessions of strength training per week.
Nutritional guidelines Instead of eating three large meals per day, eat five to six small meals. This will fuel your energy throughout the day and avoid post-meal sluggishness. Also drink 96 ounces of water daily.
Online help SNAP has a complete online nutritional program and training center. Free with membership, it provides a personalized workout plan, sample menus and a complete library of instruction videos.

Strength training is an essential part of an exercise program, even for someone who hasnt been active in a while.
Lifting weights, using weight machines and doing core work increases muscle mass and bone density.
As we age, our muscles deteriorate (called sarcopenia) and bone density decreases.
Research shows that seniors are more susceptible to bone breakage that younger adults. As people age, their metabolism slows down. We are seeing more and more seniors joining gyms.
If we take the average adult between the ages of 40 and 50 and do basic strength-training three to four times per week for 90 days, the outcome can be life-changing.
Heres a myth-buster: Muscle does NOT weigh more than fat! A pound is a pound.
Muscle is, however, more dense than body fat and takes up less area than fat. If you were to start an exercise program complete with strength training, you would increase your lean body mass and decrease body fat.
The body takes up less space and metabolism speeds up, resulting in a higher BMR (base metabolic rate, the amount of daily caloric intake needed to maintain LBM and weight.) This reverses sarcopenia and increases bone density.
Not everyone walks into a gym and knows exactly what to do. Snap gives new members an opportunity to meet with a Certified Personal Trainer, who assesses their body and their goals.
Lets get started.

Brought to you by John Sciarra, Bernard's Garage - AUTO MAINTENANCE INSIDER
Regular maintenance on your car is, quite simply, a good investment.
For example, when you bring your car in for a timing belt typically needed at 90,000 to 100,000 miles it costs in the range of $400 to $500. But if it breaks, it might be $1,800 to $2,000.
At our shop, when we do it, we do it right. With the timing belt, we also replace the timing belt tensioner, idler pulleys, camshaft seals, water pump and coolant.
Mileage interval maintenance, which is only done by shops, should be done at 30,000, 60,000 and 90,000 miles.
The ideal scenario is to get the car into the shop about three times per year for inspections, which will find things like rodent damage, which is more common than you might think. Its mainly squirrels in this area.
An inspection will also uncover leaking coolant or oil, as well as plugged-up air filters. Once a year, you should get a brake inspection.
We do complete automotive repair, including pre-purchase inspections for $150. Thats a comprehensive inspection, which can detect unforeseen problems and save you from buying a compromised vehicle.
Our average cost for an oil change is $38; $58 for a brake inspection.
Its a small investment. We do it properly and can save you a lot of trouble and expense down the road.

Man killed in Jet Ski accident in West Linn
A Jet Ski accident on the Willamette River in West Linn killed a 39-year-old Portland man on Friday night.
On Aug. 23, just after 8 p.m., the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office was notified of a collision between two personal watercrafts on the Willamette River near the Cedaroak Boat Ramp.
Sheriff's deputies said the victim was Eryk Simmons. The operator of the other personal water craft was identified as 38-year-old Michael Bailey of Tigard. Bailey is cooperating with the investigation.
Deputies declined to release the name of the boy involved in the collision.
According to police, the three people, which included a Portland man and his 7-year-old son, involved in the accident knew each other and were enjoying the day on rented Jet Skis to celebrate the boys birthday. There were three passengers on the two jet skis, two were adults and one was a juvenile. All three were reported to be wearing life jackets.
One adult was driving and hit the other watercraft, which was being operated by the father and son. The collision caused the adult and the juvenile to be knocked off and into the water.
A witness said the impact on the water was deafening. Dennis Ellison was there when both Jet Skis were coming into the ramp.
The red one did not slow down like the other one did and I heard a huge bang. Then the little boy was in the river screaming. I called 911 immediately and let him know there was a WaveRunner accident with people in the water, he told KOIN 6 News. I did not know if the other individual was there, but when I got out to put him in my boat, another gentleman was in the water unconscious.
A good Samaritan at the boat ramp who saw the accident helped pull the injured and unresponsive adult to the shore.
Paramedics and emergency personnel from Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue, American Medical Response and the Clackamas County Fire Department responded to the scene. Their efforts to revive the father were unsuccessful and he was pronounced dead at the scene. The juvenile, who appeared to have only minor injuries, was transported to an area hospital as a precaution. Police stated that the adult who was responsible for the collision has been cooperative with law enforcement to this point.
The collision is currently being investigated by the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office Marine Unit, Clackamas County Sheriff's Office detectives and the Medical Examiner's Office. Their names have not been released at this time.

Liechtenstein?s National Submission
The Outcome of Rio+20
Liechtenstein considers the overall objective of Rio+20 to be the improvement of human well -being through sustainable economic growth, social development and the protection of the environment within the range of planetary boundaries.
A successful Rio+20 Conference should result in the political commitment at the highest level to accelerate and broaden the world-wide transition towards a green economy that promotes sustainable development and contributes to poverty eradication. It should send out a clear, unified signal to all peoples that sustainable development is the only model for development and that economic, social, cultural, environmental and political dimensions of development are interdependent and mutually reinforcing.
Rio+20 should acknowledge the importance of democracy, good governance and respect for human rights to achieve sustainable development in all its dimensions. The right to development is an inalienable human right by virtue of which every human person and all peoples are entitled to participate in, contribute to, and enjoy economic, social, cultural and political development, in which all human rights and fundamental freedoms can be fully realized. Rio+20 should remind governments of their core responsibility to guarantee and promote this comprehensive right to development for their people.
While building on the progress to date, identifying remaining gaps in the implementation of the outcomes of the major summits on sustainable development and addressing new and emerging challenges is important, the Outcome of Rio+20 should clearly focus on conveying shared visions, principles and values for sustainable development. In this regard, Liechtenstein favours a concise and forward looking outcome, reaffirming and building upon internationally agreed development goals, including the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), the Agenda 21, and the Johannesburg Plan of Implementation (JPoI). A short political text will be the best way to effectively catalyse political will.
Rio+20 should provide the impetus and the tools for a global transition to a green economy. The outcome could mandate the development of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which would include actionable targets integrating the environmental, economic and social dimensions. Finally, it should further initiate timely reforms of the institutional framework for sustainable development (IFSD), within a set timeframe, including the architecture for international environmental governance (IEG).
Rio+20 is an opportunity to launch and endorse sectoral priorities, initiatives, commitments and pledges that contribute to integrating the three pillars of sustainable development. These could be included in an Annex to the outcome and should include follow-up modalities.
The Green Economy
Vision and Principles
The green economy should be seen as a pathway to sustainable development, which provides policy tools to correct deficiencies in market, development and trade policies and mechanisms that have
contributed to current global problems including climate change, resource depletion, inequality, poverty, and economic instability. It should include a range of economic and policy options that will advance all countries on this pathway.
The green economy should be built upon principles of inclusiveness and equity, and be geared towards green job creation.
Liechtenstein considers a liberal economic policy combined with a predictable legal and social order that put in place enabling conditions for businesses as key factors for greening economies and eradicating poverty. A transition to a green economy will involve both macro-economic and micro- economic changes. Regulatory instruments should create a green economy friendly environment, and should avoid harmful incentives. Market-based instruments are flexible and cost-effective tools that stimulate and support the transformation process towards greener economies. In order to guarantee a successful transition to a green economy, capacity building and technical assistance on the basis of national ownership and leadership are key. An objective of the green economy should be to enable innovation. Responsible entrepreneurship, networks, and innovation should therefore be promoted. Environmentally harmful subsidies should be eliminated, as they further unsustainable practices.
What is a green business?
It is important to establish a common understanding of what a green business constitutes. Crucial factors are:
Enduring commitment to environmental principles in business operations;
The supply of environmentally friendly products or services that replace or decrease demand for non-green products and/or services that increase demand of ?green? products;1
Availability of social services such as retirement plans, health care as well as decent working conditions.
Outcome on the Green Economy
The outcome on the green economy should be concrete and action oriented. Liechtenstein considers the following elements as key for a successful outcome on the green economy:
A broad political commitment at the highest level;
A ?Green Economy Roadmap? containing the most important common goals, concrete measures and timelines;
The launch of a platform to bring together current activities, best practice examples and approaches of different stakeholders, including governments, international organisations, business and industry, NGOs, and the scientific community;
A monitoring mechanism - for example a peer review - in order to secure implementation.
The Green Economy Roadmap should be as concrete as possible, while recognizing that there is no ?one-size-fits-all? solution. New approaches, such as public-private partnerships or involvement of non-state actors, should help promote continuing improvements with respect to environmental protection, working conditions and social welfare. The Green Economy Roadmap should build on the Rio Principles, such as Principle 8 on the reduction and elimination of unsustainable patterns of production and consumption and Principle 16 on the internalization of environmental costs and the use of economic instruments, which remain highly relevant.
1 This should also include assets and equity trading.
The success of Rio+20 in the long-term will be measured by the implementation of its agreed commitments and goals. Liechtenstein believes that a mechanism to monitor progress is very important to ensure credibility and engagement. The introduction of green economy indicators could be a possible instrument to monitor whether or not and in which areas a country is on the road to a green economy and to guarantee a prompt and swift response in case of setbacks and/or inefficiency. Economies should therefore not only be judged on the basis of their GDP, but also on the basis of other green factors such as, health of the environment, biodiversity, air pollution, social welfare, etc. Generally speaking green indicators have to become mainstream economic indicators.
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
Liechtenstein considers Rio+20 as a critical opportunity for the international community to translate discussions on the integrated pursuit of the three pillars of sustainable development into tangible goals. Therefore, Liechtenstein is willing to constructively engage in discussions about Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). SDGs could address problems of integration and implementation of the current framework for sustainable development. They should be based on Agenda 21 and JPoI, while reflecting new and emerging challenges. The ultimate aim of such goals should be the equitable and inclusive improvement of human well-being, including through poverty eradication and a green economy. Such goals should apply universally. In addition, they must not be seen to as diverting attention from MDG goals, but rather be seen as a renewal of commitment to development, with a new focus on sustainability.
The SDGs should be underpinned by targets to give direction at the global level and indicators to reflect the reality and priorities at national level. They should become a tool for national policy guidance and be translatable into action at all levels, global, regional, national and local, thus forming a basis for dynamic interaction between these levels. Rio+20 should begin the process of defining a limited number of goals, which are further elaborated through clearly defined targets, roadmaps and tool-kits, partnerships and corresponding responsible governing bodies. This elaboration should provide the means towards implementation.
For Liechtenstein SDGs should include: Green Growth
Green job creation, sustainable public procurement, rule-based, predictable, non-discriminatory trading
and financial system, corporate sustainability, green economy indicators
Sustainable Production and Consumption
Efficient and sustainable resource use, reducing resource degradation, pollution and waste, lifecycle analysis, certification schemes
Universal access to healthcare, combat communicable and non-communicable diseases, reduce child mortality, improve maternal health, link environmental and human health
Promote clean energy for all, reduce global energy intensity, increased proportion of renewables in global energy mix
Climate Change
Emissions reductions targets, fiscal and policy incentives, mitigation and adaptation
Access to safe drinking water and sanitation, sustainable water management, reduced water pollution, increased global water productivity of agriculture
Food and Agriculture
Sustainable agriculture, zero net land degradation, combat desertification, ecological restoration, integrated watershed management, removal of subsidies, that have negative effects on the environment and are incompatible with sustainable development
Halt and reverse forest loss, forest certification schemes, legal frameworks and good governance, REDD+, Sustainable Forest Management (SFM)
Reduce biodiversity loss, biodiversity targets, establishment of marine protected areas
Education, Access to Information, and Participation
Universal education, integrated education for sustainable development, gender equality, green skills training, increased participation of all stakeholders, freedom of information
Best practices and lessons learned from the development to the achievement of the MDGs should be fully taken into account in the design of the SDGs. The SDGs should be fully mainstreamed in the UN system, the international financial institutions (IFIs), and other relevant institutions and at all levels. A strengthened and consolidated institutional architecture for sustainable development should be mandated with the coordination of efforts and the monitoring of progress towards the SDGs.
Institutional Arrangements for Sustainable Development
Reform of the institutional framework for sustainable development (IFSD) should lead to a coherent, coordinated and balanced integration of the three pillars of sustainable development, geared towards enhanced implementation of sustainable development policies and programmes. Form should follow function. Therefore reform options should address weaknesses and gaps in the current system. These include:
? Lack of coordination for sustainable development; lack of implementation of sustainable development policy frameworks, including Agenda 21, and JPoI;
? Lack of a single recognized global platform for environmental governance; lack of an
effective authority to implement policies under the environmental pillar within the UN
system; lack of coordination among UN agencies;
? Fragmentation, gaps, overlaps among Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEAs); overflowing reporting and meeting burden on Member States; lack of coherent administrative approach; lack of systematic review of effectiveness;
? Lack of coherent and authoritative scientific advice on all pillars of sustainable development;
overlaps and ignored inter-linkages; weak science-policy interface;
? Lack of implementation; insufficient capacity building and technical assistance;
? Proliferation and complexity of funding mechanisms; weak linkage between policy and funding; no overall financial tracking system; insufficient, unstable, and unpredictable funding base for United Nations Environmental Program (UNEP);
? Insufficient partnerships with civil society, business and industry and the scientific and
academic community within the UN framework; current rules of procedures limiting
cooperation between the UN and outside partners;
? Inadequate integration of sustainable development into development assistance at country level.
These weaknesses and gaps must be addressed in order to achieve sustainable development. Therefore, Liechtenstein is in favour of reforms that avoid the creation of new structures if not accompanied by an appropriate consolidation of existing structures.
Liechtenstein?s priorities for institutional reform include
? An overall strengthening of the UN governance structure for sustainable development;
? The geographical and functional consolidation of existing institutional arrangements;
? Inclusive participation in sustainable development decision making bodies within the UN
? A reduction of overlap in mandates and improved coordination and coherence.
The overall objectives of the reform should include
? Developing a global authoritative entity for sustainable development;
? Achieving effectiveness, efficiency and coherence within the UN system;
? Improved monitoring, evaluation, and accountability for sustainable development;
? Creating a strong, credible and accessible science base and policy interface for sustainable
? Securing sufficient, predictable and coherent funding;
? Ensuring coherent response to country needs.
Reform of the Institutional Framework for Sustainable Development (IFSD)
To meet these objectives, Liechtenstein proposes the following institutional reform measures:
Rio+20 should lead to improved interagency coordination for sustainable development. Establishing a system-wide strategy for prioritization and coordination of activities should result in efficiency gains by minimizing competing policies and duplication of activities and enabling agencies to focus on their areas of comparative advantage. The entities under the Chief Executive Board (CEB), including the High Level Committee on Programmes (HLCP) and the United Nations Development Group (UNDG) should promote policy coherence and delivery on sustainable development at all governance levels. UN participation in coordination at the regional level should be strengthened. At the national level, United Nations Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF) and United Nations Country Teams (UNCT) should deliver as one (DaO) on sustainable development.
Liechtenstein sees merit in considering the option of transforming the Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD) into a Sustainable Development Council (SDC), subsidiary to the General Assembly. The SDC?s mandate should include the coordination, consolidation and advancement of sustainable development objectives across the UN system, including by integrating sustainable development principles in UN development policy-making and operational activities and at all levels Its agenda setting should be conducive to strong periodic high-level attendance. It should provide political guidance and coordination for sustainable development and enhance implementation, including of the SDGs. It should also ensure integrated discussions between past, current and emerging challenges such as economic stability, food Security, climate Security, energy Security, social Security and resilience to natural disasters. Its rules of procedure should allow for inclusive Member States participation, including through a strong observer status, as well as for strong civil society and private sector participation and for the participation of other relevant stakeholders.
Furthermore, its membership should achieve a balance between legitimacy and effectiveness. Its work should be guided by the principles of inclusiveness and transparency. Governing bodies of the IFIs should be represented in the SDC.
In order to enhance implementation of sustainable development policies, the SDC should be equipped with appropriate tools to strengthen accountability and monitoring of national sustainable development commitments. Such mechanisms could take the form of a peer review process to assess implementation of sustainable development commitments, including the SDGs. The SDC should serve as a focal point for civil society, academia, the private sector and other relevant stake- holders.
The central role of the UN in coordinating global sustainable development policy and activities can be further strengthened by including initiatives from different actors and stakeholders outside the UN, including from informal groupings like the G20 and the G8 and from the private sector. Such activities should be actively encouraged and promoted. They should feed into and complement relevant UN activities and be covered by the wider UN development policy coordination framework.
International Environmental Governance (IEG)
Environmental governance must be addressed when reforming the IFSD, as there is no strong IFSD without reform of International Environmental Governance (IEG). In order to address the gaps and weaknesses of the current IEG system, including the inability of UNEP to fully exercise its mandate, Liechtenstein supports proposals to strengthen UNEP , by enhancing UNEP's role to become the leading global voice for the environment, to inform global decision-making, and mobilize necessary resources to respond to past, current and emerging challenges.
To this end, Liechtenstein supports the proposal to upgrade UNEP to the status of a UN Specialized Agency. The specialized agency should be built upon existing UNEP structures and have headquarters in Nairobi and liaison offices in NY and Geneva. Representation of the specialized agency should be included in the governing bodies of the IFIs and the SDC.
The specialized agency should meet in a General Council or Assembly every few years, with its
Governing Council meeting between sessions. Its mandate should include the following functions:
Develop a system-wide strategy for environmental policy in the UN system to increase its effectiveness, efficiency and coherence, and contribute to strengthening the environmental pillar of sustainable development;
prepare and transmit agreed global environmental assessments and priorities to the UNGA, SDC, and IFIs;
Convene broad-based stakeholders on the environment, in particular the scientific community and civil society;
Review the outcomes of the MEA COPs, convene Presidents/Chairs of MEA governing bodies, support implementation of COP decisions, and promote joint delivery of common MEA services;
Enhance accountability to environmental commitments by reviewing compliance.
A specialized agency should also function as the mechanism for global coordination and
streamlining among existing MEAs. MEA secretariat functions and common services should be clustered to enable joint delivery of common MEA services and to enhance efficiency gains, while fully taking into account their legal autonomy. To this end, joint services and functions could include secretariats, legal, financial and conference services, reporting, scientific structures, programmatic structures and knowledge management and IT. Joint services and functions would also enhance the secretariats' ability to comprehensively and cohesively support countries in their implementation of MEAs. Joint delivery could also contribute to reducing the number of scattered meetings of COPs, by promoting back-to-back meetings.
The specialized agency should strengthen the science-policy interface and support and improve scientific research and development at the national level. It should build upon existing international environmental assessments, scientific panels and information networks, in order to facilitate cooperation in the collection, management, analysis, use and exchange of environmental information. It should also lead in the development of indicators, early warning and alert services, assessments, science-based advice and policy options. The Global Environment Outlook (GEO) process should be strengthened by increasing participation of all relevant stakeholders, which would lead to increased relevance and impact. Its outputs should be mainstreamed into decision-making bodies, including the IFIs.
The Environment Management Group (EMG) could conduct environmental impact assessments and examine the use of environmental and social safeguards for UN activities at all levels. It could also provide guidance at the national level on environmental impact assessments and environmental and social safeguards.
In addition, a system-wide capacity-building framework should be developed and targeted at strengthening national capacities required to implement MEAs and agreed international environmental objectives. The specialized agency should establish strong regional programmatic presence and help coordinate regional environmental initiatives. The capacity of its regional offices should be strengthened, as should environmental expertise within UNCTs, as part of a broader DaO for sustainable development framework.
To strengthen the link between global environmental policy making and financing, allocation of Global Environmental Facility (GEF) funds should be guided by commitments under the MEAs and GEO outcomes. The accessibility, cooperation and coherence among financing mechanisms and funds for the environment should be increased. A financial tracking system for environmental activities should be established and include funding under State commitments to the Green Climate Fund. In order to widen and deepen the funding base for the specialized agency and UN environmental activities, sufficient, predictable and coherent funding should be secured.
It is important that the processes that lead to such reforms be conducted in an open, transparent and inclusive manner with the aim of generating the largest possible support by Member States to ensure their full implementation. At the same time, the rules guiding the decision-making processes must be applied such that they are conducive to reaching outcomes. A commitment to environmental sustainability should guide all actions undertaken throughout the reform process.
