LAZY 'CAN BE ENCOURAGED TO MOVE'
HEALTH PROFESSIONALS CAN MOTIVATE EVEN THE MOST INACTIVE PEOPLE TO INCREASE THE AMOUNT THEY WALK, SAY RESEARCHERS.

_____________________________________________________________________________

However, they found advice had to be tailored to individual needs - adopting a "one size fits all" policy would not be as effective, they suggest.

They found that with the right advice people could be motivated to walk for an extra 30-60 minutes a week - enough for significant health benefits.
Exercise reduces the risk of heart disease, diabetes and some cancers.

The researchers, from the Scottish Physical Activity Research Collaboration, reviewed 48 previous studies into promoting walking.

The Scottish study features in the British Medical Journal.
_____________________________________________________________________________
OPTIONS NEEDED
_____________________________________________________________________________
Promotion methods used included using pedometers or promoting walking as an environmentally friendly mode of transport.

In some cases these methods have been targeted at whole communities, for example by handing out free pedometers.

Lead author David Ogilvie said one size may not fit all, and to encourage more walking patients should be offered a range of options.

He said face-to-face advice from healthcare professionals could be useful in enabling patients' needs to be assessed and individual advice given.

Dr Ogilvie said: "We can't point to a single silver bullet that will promote walking for everyone, but we have found evidence that different approaches can be effective."

He said different people would find different things useful as motivational tools. Some might find using a pedometer or attending group meetings to report their progress useful, while others could be motivated by environmental concerns to use walking as a method of transport.
_____________________________________________________________________________
EVERYONE DIFFERENT
_____________________________________________________________________________
Ken Fox, professor of exercise and health science at the University of Bristol said as with any behavioural changes, asking people to increase their physical activity levels could present a difficult challenge, and different people could need different help.

He said: "Everyone's personal situation is different, so tailoring recommendations to their different needs and circumstances is important."

Cathy Ross, a Cardiac Nurse at the British Heart Foundation (BHF), said 30 minutes of daily, moderate-intensity physical activity could cut heart disease risks by half.

She said: "Whatever way you do it, walking is a fantastic way for everyone to achieve their “30 a Day."

A FRAMEWORK FOR MOTIVATIONAL STRATEGIES

_____________________________________________________________________________
Skill in motivating students to learn is of paramount importance. Until recently, however, teachers were forced to rely on "bag-of-tricks" approaches in their attempt to manage their classroom and motivate their learners.

These approaches have been influenced by two contradictory views:
a) that learning should be fun and that any motivation problems that may appear should be ascribed to the teacher's attempt to convert an enjoyable activity to drudgery; and
b) that school activities are inherently boring and unrewarding, so that we must rely on extrinsic rewards and punishment with a view to forcing students to engage in these unpleasant tasks.

Rewards and punishments may be a mainstay of the teaching-learning process, but they are not the only tools in teachers' arsenal. The spectrum of other potentially more effective motivational strategies is so broad that it is hard to imagine that none of them would work.

The central question in designing a framework of motivational strategies is to decide how to organize them into separate themes. The following corollaries based on the process-oriented model are starting points:
• Creating the basic motivational conditions, which involves setting the scene for the use of motivational strategies
• Generating student motivation, which roughly corresponds to the preactional phase in the model
• Maintaining and protecting motivation, which corresponds to the actional phase
• Encouraging positive self-evaluation, which corresponds to the postactional phase

LOW FAITH IN BIOFUELS FOR CLIMATE

_____________________________________________________________________________
Decision-makers in the climate change field have little faith in biofuels as a low-carbon technology, the World Conservation Union (IUCN) says.

Unveiled at the UN climate convention meeting in Bali, its survey suggests professionals have more confidence in bicycles than in biofuels. The findings come as ministers assemble for the final part of the UN talks. Conservation groups have highlighted the impact of climate change in the tropics and the Antarctic.

European negotiators at the two-week meeting in the beach resort of Nusa Dua are hoping that the meeting will launch a two-year process leading to a further round of binding cuts in greenhouse gas emissions, to come into force when the current Kyoto Protocol targets expire in 2012. But delegates say much ground remains to be covered as ministers from nearly 190 nations arrive for the last three days of discussions under the UN climate convention (UNFCCC) and Kyoto Protocol.
_____________________________________________________________________________

FUELLING DOUBTS

_____________________________________________________________________________
"Technology must be at the heart of the future response to climate change," UNFCCC executive secretary Yvo de Boer declared at the talks. But which technology? In a survey of 1,000 professionals in 105 countries, IUCN attempted to gauge which technologies inspired the most confidence.

The survey included people from governments, NGOs and industry. Of 18 technologies suggested by IUCN, the current generation of biofuels came bottom of the list, with only 21% believing in its potential to "lower overall carbon levels in the atmosphere without unacceptable side effects" over the next 25 years. Nearly twice as many were confident in the potential of nuclear energy, while solar power for hot water and solar power for electricity emerged as the most favored low-carbon technologies.

Overall, respondents said increasing energy efficiency and reducing demand could produce more benefits than "clean" energy sources.

Although the EU and the US are attempting to boost the expansion of biofuels, recent evidence is equivocal about their potential. Studies show they may produce only marginal carbon savings compared to conventional petrol and diesel. In Indonesia and elsewhere, forests are being cleared for palm oil plantations, partly to produce biofuels.

There is evidence that leaving forests intact results in greater climate benefits while protecting biodiversity.
_____________________________________________________________________________
LIFE AT THE EXTREMES
_____________________________________________________________________________
Two presentations on the sidelines of the Bali conference have highlighted the impacts of climate change on the natural world. Conservation International (CI) researchers took forecasts from the the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC) 2007 assessment of the Earth's likely climatic future, and calculated what those forecast trends would mean for areas safeguarded for nature, such as national parks and forest reserves. They found that more than half of these zones were vulnerable to projected climate change. In 21 countries, mainly in the tropics, more than 90% of protected areas were vulnerable.

"We previously assumed that if the land is protected, then the plants and animals living there will persist," said Sandy Andelman, head of CI's Tropical Ecology Assessment and Monitoring network. "That may be wishful thinking." WWF, meanwhile, looked at conditions at the Earth's other climatic extreme - the cold of the Antarctic peninsula. This tendril of land that projects from the Antarctic towards the tip of South America is warming much faster than the global average. According to WWF researchers, sea ice cover has declined by about 40% over the last quarter century.

"The research done over the last couple of years is that many penguin populations across Antarctica are in decline, with some dropping as much as 65%," said WWF's director-general Jim Leape. "You are seeing a massive loss of sea ice in important parts of the continent, and that sea ice is crucial to the food web of Antarctica upon which these penguins depend."
_____________________________________________________________________________
BINDING TIES
_____________________________________________________________________________
Like other conservation groups, WWF is calling for the inclusion of binding targets for reducing carbon emissions in any agreement coming out of the Bali conference. A draft circulating this week calls for industrialised nations to cut their emissions by 25-40% by 2020. It is supported by the EU. But the US, Australia, Canada and Japan are arguing against the inclusion of concrete targets at this stage.

But there is frustration among some developing countries at what they see as a lack of political will among the high emitters.

“If nobody show the willingness to deal with the reduction of carbon emissions to a manageable level, then what are we doing here?” Brazilian delegate Thelma Krug told the AFP news agency.
But three days of busy talks lie ahead if a deal is to be made.
