Europe has given us a blueprint for saving the world's forests (New Statesman)

In the US, although it is unlikely to progress without wider political support, the Forest Act (Fostering Overseas Rule of Law and Environmentally Sound Trade) sets out measures to prohibit agricultural commodities produced on illegally deforested land from entering the market. We also still don’t know which products it will apply to and there is a real risk it could exclude the cattle sector, which accounts for the UK’s biggest deforestation footprint by land area. Too often deforestation carries little reputational or financial risk for investors, and a lack of regulation makes it easier for them to turn a blind eye. The European Parliament is also leading the way on cutting off the financial pipeline for deforestation from European banks. Companies will continue to enable deforestation if they can get the financial backing to make it profitable and banks will not stop financing deforestation unless they are compelled to. Under an anti-deforestation law set to be concluded over the next few months, imports of cocoa, coffee, timber, beef, soy and palm oil that cannot be shown to be deforestation-free would be banned.

BSPD issues paediatric oral health Blueprint (The Hippocratic Post)

As the new PM, Liz Truss puts her new administration together and sets out her policies, the British Society of Paediatric Dentistry (BSPD) sets out its ...

Professor Claire Stevens CBE, BSPD’s spokesperson said: “Our message to Liz Truss and Therese Coffey is – If you put the Society’s blueprint into action, we will be ensuring those most in need will be supported. If put into action, the Society’s blueprint would ensure that those most in need will be supported. This is wholly unacceptable when we consider that dental caries is a largely preventable disease.” These groups include neglected children, children living in poverty (an alarming percentage of the population will be less able to afford toothbrushes and toothpaste this winter), asylum seekers and refugees. The coming months will see BSPD focus attention on vulnerable groups in our communities as the priority. As the new PM, Liz Truss puts her new administration together and sets out her policies, the British Society of Paediatric Dentistry (BSPD) sets out its ‘Blueprint to improve children’s oral health’ – with specific guidance on how best to get paediatric dentistry in the UK back on track.

Liaison officers create blueprint for Agile Combat Employment (DVIDS)

“This mission is a great example for things to come for not only the U.S., but for our partner nations,” said Capt. “All of the hard work and dedication that goes on behind the scenes and leading up to the mission is finally executed and we can show how we as an Air Force can be agile and effective.” Liaison Officers observed and documented the exercise throughout, working with each other and subject matter experts to build strategy to continue getting faster and more efficient in the process. “For this particular ACE exercise, Prince Sultan Air Base forward deployed five LNOs composed of Force Protection, Contracting, Communications, and Base Operations Support-Integrator roles,” said Hudson. “In the ACE scheme of maneuver, the USAF is designed to demonstrate airpower anywhere, anytime,” said Capt. A critical part to the success of the flying mission is to get your advance team or LNOs on the ground early to allow time to assess the area of operations, circumvent potential issues, and validate capabilities and limitations prior to projecting airpower.”
