Download or read book Environmental Footprints of Recycled Products written by Subramanian Senthilkannan Muthu and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-02-06 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recycling is the need of the hour and it is an inevitable destination at the end of the life of any product. Today, recycling can happen at postindustrial and post-consumer states and the importance of recycled products in the market has gained significant importance. Recycled products dominate the array of sustainable products in today’s context. Even though there are commercial implications for recycling, one of the very important and obvious reasons to go for recycling and to have recycled products is to have the benefits on environmental sustainability. It is highly important to assess the environmental footprints of recycled products and further improve the environmental benefits of such recycled products. This book presents five interesting chapters pertaining to the environmental footprints of various recycled products.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of international climate finance channelled from developed to developing countries through public interventions for mitigation and adaptation has been developed over the last decade, but its roots date back to the early 1990s. Despite the high relevance of the topic in the international climate negotiations, illustrated by the (missed) target to mobilise USD 100 billion by 2020, there is no book that provides an overview accessible to academics and practitioners alike.
Download or read book Harnessing voluntary carbon markets for climate ambition written by Ahonen, Hanna-Mari and published by Nordic Council of Ministers. This book was released on 2022-11-28 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Available online: https://pub.norden.org/temanord2022-563/ An increasing number of non-state actors are taking steps towards and beyond carbon neutrality and making claims about their contribution to global climate action. The voluntary use of carbon credits is one way to support more, earlier and faster climate action than what would be possible with own emission reductions alone, if high environmental and social integrity is ensured. The Nordic Dialogue on Voluntary Compensation brought together Nordic stakeholders to co-create guidance for the robust voluntary use of carbon credits in line with the long-term goals of the Paris Agreement and the UN Sustainable Development Agenda. This report summarises Nordic perspectives on best practice for the voluntary use of carbon credits and related claims, and recommendations for further Nordic cooperation in this field.
Download or read book Voluntary compensation of greenhouse gas emissions International guidance and initiatives written by Ahonen, Hanna-Mari and published by Nordic Council of Ministers. This book was released on 2021-10-27 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Available online: https://pub.norden.org/temanord2021-541/ An increasing number of non-state actors are taking steps towards and beyond carbon neutrality and making claims about their climate impact and contribution to mitigation, so as to contribute to the Paris Agreement’s long-term goal to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius. Voluntary compensation of greenhouse gas emissions enables actors to take responsibility for their remaining emissions by supporting additional mitigation outcomes that occur outside the actors’ boundaries. This report maps key international guidance and initiatives relevant to voluntary compensation. It aims to foster a common knowledge base on high-integrity use of voluntary compensation as part of actors’ broader mitigation efforts towards and beyond carbon neutrality. It was prepared under the Nordic Dialogue on Voluntary Compensation.
Download or read book Evoluci n y Estado de la HUELLA DE CARBONO written by Antonio José Guerrero Lucendo and published by Universidad Miguel Hernández. This book was released on with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Las universidades, que pueden considerarse como pequeñas ciudades que contribuyen a la sostenibilidad a través de su educación, investigación, el funcionamiento de su propio patrimonio y su relación con la sociedad (Cortese, 2003; Gomera et al., 2021; Gu et al., 2019), desempeñan un importante papel en la sostenibilidad medioambiental a través de la lucha contra el cambio climático (E. C. Cordero et al., 2020). En este sentido, están empezando a abordar los problemas climáticos a través de políticas de reducción de carbono (Robinson et al., 2018). La huella de carbono puede ser un buen indicador de desempeño ambiental universitario si se evalúa e interpreta adecuadamente, por lo que suele ser el indicador clave de desempeño comúnmente utilizado para evaluar los impactos ambientales relacionados con el cambio climático (A. J. Guerrero-Lucendo, 2023; Lo-Iacono-Ferreira et al., 2018). Por ello, algunos autores consideran que la evaluación del cálculo de la huella de carbono en las universidades debería de ser uno de los pasos iniciales hacia la sostenibilidad ambiental del campus (Ridhosari & Rahman, 2020; Valls-Val & Bovea, 2021), y el informe de la huella de carbono el inicio de las prácticas educativas sostenibles (Kulkarni, 2019). Aunque no existen referencias relevantes que evidencien el uso de la huella de carbono como indicador de desempeño ambiental en las universidades (Lo-Iacono-Ferreira et al., 2018), la medición de la huella de carbono en estas organizaciones está ampliamente registrada. En la literatura podemos encontrar algunos estudios centrados en la comparación de las huellas de carbono de diferentes universidades, pero asociadas a regiones geográficas concretas (A. J. Guerrero-Lucendo, 2023; Valls-Val & Bovea, 2021), como Bailey & LaPoint (2016), que compararon las huellas de carbono de nueve universidades situadas en Texas (EE.UU.) o Robinson et al. (2015) con 20 universidades del Reino Unido. A nivel español, existen varias publicaciones de artículos sobre las huellas de carbono en los campus universitarios en los últimos años, como la Universidad Politécnica de Valencia (Lo-Iacono-Ferreira et al., 2018), la Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingenieros de Montes de la Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (Alvarez et al., 2014), la Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha (Gomez et al., 2016), la Universidad del País Vasco (Rodríguez Andara et al., 2020), la Universidad Miguel Hernández de Elche (A. Guerrero-Lucendo et al., 2019) y la Universidad Jaime I (Valls-Val & Bovea, 2022). Como referencia en cuanto a revisión comparativa de las huellas de carbono de las universidades españolas se dispone de un mapeo general del desempeño ambiental en la mitigación del cambio climático de las universidades españolas a través de una herramienta estandarizada de cálculo de la huella de carbono (A. Guerrero-Lucendo et al., 2022). En este estudio, se obtuvieron 77 huellas de carbono para el periodo 2011-2020 de 14 universidades españolas a través del Registro Español de Huellas de Carbono. Los valores de las huellas se analizaron junto con diferentes variables y se recalcularon utilizando ratios de actividad estandarizados. Aunque se observó una disminución global de la huella de carbono total (72,7%), las emisiones directas de gases de efecto invernadero (Alcance 1) se mantenían estables, mientras que la disminución se debía a la reducción de las emisiones causadas por el consumo de electricidad (Alcance 2) a través de empresas proveedoras de electricidad, que garantizan que la energía suministrada se genera a partir de fuentes renovables o de cogeneración (A. Guerrero-Lucendo et al., 2022).

It also serves as a valuable support material for undergraduate and master's business students, providing a comprehensive understanding of the new fields of study in the discipline. This book is an excellent addition to any academic collection and offers a thought-provoking perspective on strategic management.
Download or read book Climate Governance in International and Comparative Perspective written by Peter F. Haruna and published by IAP. This book was released on 2024-05-01 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book pulls literature together to examine the quality of climate governance based in the experience of Global South regions—Africa, Latin America, and Caribbean. While these regions are resilient, the IPCC 2022 Report indicates that the effects of climate change are crippling their thinly structured governance systems and limited capacities. For example, in addition to environmental devastation, loss of life, and livelihoods, these regions have endured most of the “loss and damage” due to climate change impacts. How are they responding? What are the outcomes? And where do they go from here? Given this background, the book’s goal is to question assumptions about climate governance patterns, systems, institutions, and processes in these regions, using comparative analytical techniques while distilling information about policy outcomes that other approaches do not provide. It argues that these regions and individual countries within them have a lot to learn from and about each other rather than look to the Global North and wealthy countries for economic, political, and administrative models that hardly match their lived experience and ontological outlooks. In doing so, it aspires to promote a fruitful South-South policy-related dialogue via scholarly exchanges and also contribute to advance the study and practice of international and comparative public administration. From this perspective, scholars, researchers, educators, public managers, and practitioners will find the book relevant to and useful for their respective endeavors.
Download or read book Film and Television Production in the Age of Climate Crisis written by Pietari Kääpä and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-08-18 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together a range of voices from across the global environmental media community to build a comparative international set of perspectives on ‘green’ film and television production. Through this, it provides a necessary intervention in environmental media studies that actively foregrounds media infrastructure, production, policy, and labour – that is, the management and practice of media production cultures. Due to its immense sociocultural influence and economic resources, the global screen media industry is at the forefront of raising awareness for the political and social issues resulting from accelerated environmental instability. However, the 21st century relationship between screen media and the environment has another face that demands urgent scrutiny. The advent of the digital age and the vast electrical and Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) infrastructures required to support digital production, distribution, and archiving has resulted in the rapid expansion and diversification of the industry’s resource use, infrastructure construction, energy dependency, and consequent waste and emissions production. Addressing these structures is essential to alleviating their environmental and social impact and ensuring that the industry’s rhetoric on environmental responsibility is reflected in its practice. As a mitigating counterbalance to the above trends, there has been a heightenedpush for sustainability measures along various lines of industry management, policy, and practice. These initiatives—including the cultural values they reflect, the political economies that form their logic, the managerial and marketing tactics that orchestrate them, and the environmental realities of their implementation—form the central object of inquiry for this collection.
