Повний текст джерелаProduktionsbaserade indikatorer visar att Sverige har lägre utsläpp per capita än andra höginkomstländer. Vetenskapliga bevis tyder dock på en tydlig överskridning av några av de planetära gränserna, särskilt den gällande klimatförändringar, om svenska konsumtionsrelaterade utsläpp utomlands beaktas. Hushållen är en av de viktigaste drivkrafterna bakom ökningen av hållbarhetsrelaterade problem. Studier uppskattar att hushållens konsumtion direkt och indirekt bidrar till 51–81% av deras miljöpåverkan. Bättre konsumtionsbaserade indikatorer är därför nödvändiga för att styra politiska insatser om Sverige vill uppnå sitt generationslöfte att lösa de stora miljöproblemen i Sverige utan att öka miljö- och hälsoproblemen utanför Sveriges gränser. Detta projekt syftar till att uppskatta Sveriges konsumtionsbaserade miljöpåverkan med senast tillgängliga data. Dessutom ger uppsatsen värdefull insikt i de svenska hushållens konsumtionsbeteende. De konsumtionsbaserade beräkningarna, baserade på EXIOBASE 3, uppskattade ett koldioxidavtryck på 94 Mt CO2-ekv. under 2011 för Sverige, där deproduktionsbaserade växthusgasutsläppen var 30% lägre än de faktiska utsläppen som skapades genom svensk konsumtion. Det landmässiga fotavtrycket uppskattades till 333 000 km2. Det materiella fotavtrycket visade att Sverige importerade dubbelt så mycket material som de exporterade till andra länder, vilket ledde till ett konsumtionsbaserat materialavtryck på 279 000 kt. Det mesta av det blåa vatten som är inkorporerat i produkter importerades, hela 94% av den svenska totalen på2 000 Mm3. Resultaten visar vikten av att titta på konsumtionsbaserad miljöpåverkan för att få en exakt bild av den nationella miljöpåverkan. Data gällande svenska hushållsutgifter kombinerades med miljömässigt utökade multiregionala input-output-värden för att beräkna de svenska hushållens miljöpåverkan. Studien identifierade mat, boende och transport som utgiftskategorier med högst miljöpåverkan. Enligt resultaten så var det totala koldioxidavtrycket för ett svenskt hushåll under2011 14 t CO2-eq, markanvändningen uppgick till 32 200 m2, materialutvinningen till 29 t och den blå vattenförbrukningen till 431 m3. Kombinationen av hushållsutgifter och miljömässigt utökade input-output-tabeller ger en omfattande bild av de konsumtionsbaserade utsläppen och ger en detaljerad inblick i konsumtionsbeteendet hos svenska hushåll. Dessa insikter kan vidare användas för att utforma mer exakta policyer som främjar ett noll-kol-samhälle i Sverige.

Повний текст джерелаVatten är en ovärderlig resurs som täcker cirka två tredjedelar av jordens yta men där endast en procent är tillgänglig för användning. Människan använder vatten till olika ändamål, förutom i hushåll används vatten bland annat inom jordbruk och industrier. Vattenanvändning och utsläpp av föroreningar kan göra vatten otillgängligt, vilket kan vara extra känsligt i de områden där människor redan lider av vattenbrist. Den ökade vattenanvändningen tillsammans med exempelvis klimatförändringar bidrar till att göra vattenbrist till en global angelägenhet och det kommer att krävas åtgärder för att skydda människor och miljö. År 2002 introducerades begreppet vattenfotavtryck som ett verktyg för att bedöma miljöpåverkan från vattenanvändning. Sedan dess har begreppet utvecklats till att inkludera många olika beräkningsmetoder men många av de befintliga studierna har uteslutit föroreningar och bara fokuserat på vattenkonsumtion. Syftet med denna rapport var att utvärdera tre olika metoder med avseende på deras förmåga att beräkna vattenfotavtryck vid produktion av lastbilar, med villkoret att metoderna ska inkludera både vattenkonsumtion och föroreningar. I studien användes tre metoder för att beräkna vattenfotavtrycket för två Volvo fabriker placerade i Umeå och Göteborg. En livscykelanalys utfördes i livscykelanalysverktyget Gabi, för att kartlägga vattenflöden från bakgrundsprocesser. Därefter värderades vattenflödena med metoderna; H2Oe, WFN och Ecological scarcity. Resultatet för fabriken i Umeå gav för respektive metod ett vattenfotavtryck motsvarande 2,62 Mm3 H2Oe, 43,08 Mm3 respektive 354,7 MEP per 30 000 lastbilshytter. Variationen i enheter och storlek tyder på att det kan vara svårt att jämföra vattenfotavtryck för produkter som beräknats med olika metoder. Studien visade att H2Oe och Ecological scarcity tar hänsyn till vattentillgängligheten i området. En granskning av metodernas överensstämmelse med den nya ISO standarden för vattenfotavtryck gjordes men ingen av metoderna i studien uppfyllde alla kriterier. Av de processer som ingår i fabrikerna visade det sig att vattenfotavtrycket för H2Oe och Ecological scarcity metoden var störst för en fällningskemikalie. För den tredje metoden och koldioxid var avtrycket störst för elektriciteten. Detta tyder på att olika metoder värderar miljöpåverkan olika samt att de processer som anses bättre ur miljösynpunkt för klimatförändringar inte nödvändigtvis behöver vara bäst vid vattenanvändning.

The Renewable Fuels Standard 2 (RFS2) is an important component of alternative transportation fuels policy in the United States (US). By mandating the production of alternative fuels, RFS2 attempts to address a number of imperfections in the transportation fuels market: US economic vulnerability to volatile prices; security and environmental externalities; and a lack of investment in alternatives to petroleum-derived fuels. Although RFS2 aims to reduce the climate impact of transportation fuels, the policy raises a number of additional environmental concerns, including the water and land resource requirements of alternative fuel production. These factors should be considered in order to determine the overall environmental viability of alternatives to petroleum-derived transportation fuels. Middle distillate (MD) fuels, including diesel and jet fuel, are of particular interest because they currently make up almost 30% of liquid fuel consumption in the US, and alternative MD fuels could potentially satisfy 21 of the 36 billion gallons of renewable fuels mandated by RFS2 in 2022. This thesis quantifies the lifecycle blue (surface and ground) water consumption footprint of MD from conventional crude oil; Fischer-Tropsch (FT) MD from natural gas and coal; fermentation and advanced fermentation (AF) MD from biomass; and hydroprocessed esters and fatty acids (HEFA) MD and biodiesel from oilseed crops, in the US. FT and rainfed biomass-derived MD have lifecycle blue water consumption footprints between 1.4 and 18.1 lwater/lMD, comparable to conventional MD, between 4.1 and 7.5 lwater/lMD. Irrigated biomass-derived MD has a lifecycle blue water consumption footprint potentially several orders of magnitude larger, between 2.5 and 5300 lwater/lMD. Results are geospatially disaggregated, and the trade-offs between blue water consumption footprint and areal MD productivity, between 490 and 3710 lMD/ha, are quantified under assumptions of rainfed and irrigated biomass cultivation.

Повний текст джерелаThe use of anthropogenic sources of nitrogen (N) in food and energy production has negative impacts, due to the buildup of reactive N in the environment and subsequent nitrogen cascade effects. With the objective of quantifying Nitrogen Footprint to Portugal was used the model proposed by Leach et al (2012). This model – The Nitrogen Calculator – focuses on the consumption of food and energy using an average per capita data for each country. The N Footprint found for the restricted area of Lisbon, Portugal was 23.5 Kg N per capita per year. Losses of N to the environment are higher for the food consumption than for the energy consumption. Through this study the Portuguese consumers will be able to understand the way their habits determinate the losses of N to the environment

Повний текст джерелаGlobal food production has increasingly affected both the environment and human health in substantial and remarkable ways. Among the many concerns global community has to face, Earth’s freshwater resources have been identified as dangerously subject to increasing pressure in the form of consumptive water use and pollution. A deep understanding of the water-food nexus is crucial to support the exploration of more suitable avenues for a sustainable development. In this work, the concept of water footprint (WF) presented by different methodologies – volumetric and impacts oriented approach – has been applied to link impacts on water consumption to the food production and consumption. With regard to the study of the production side, comparison of environmental performances of two vineyard where conventional and organic viticulture were applied, has been performed. Additionally, impacts on water resources related to different Italian and Danish dietary patterns have been investigated to understand the positive impacts that demand-side solutions can have. The studies highlighted that the origin of consumed foodstuffs played a key role in the calculation of local environmental impacts. Finally, the analysis showed that consumer’s choices could tackle environmental impact on water use by changing their consumption patterns, selecting less water-demanding products and reducing food waste.

Повний текст джерелаO presente trabalho tem como objetivo propor uma metodologia de cÃlculo para mensurar a pegada hÃdrica (PH) na atividade de construÃÃo civil imobiliÃria. A pegada hÃdrica à um indicador empÃrico da quantidade, do perÃodo e do local onde a Ãgua à consumida e poluÃda, que à medido ao longo de toda a cadeia produtiva de um produto, mostrando nÃo sà o volume de Ãgua, como tambÃm o tipo de uso da Ãgua (consuntivo, de chuva, superficial ou subterrÃnea, ou a poluiÃÃo da Ãgua), a localizaÃÃo e o momento em que a Ãgua foi usada. Para calcular a pegada hÃdrica na atividade de construÃÃo civil imobiliÃria foi utilizada a metodologia de Hoekstra et al. (2011), utilizando o conceito parcial de âÃgua azulâ â um tipo de medida de apropriaÃÃo da pegada hÃdrica determinada pelo consumo, pela evaporaÃÃo e pelo escoamento para o oceano â em seu uso/consumo para propÃsitos humanos, a fim de estimar o quantum de Ãgua à necessÃrio para produÃÃo de um edifÃcio residencial. A mediÃÃo foi segregada em trÃs grupos que compÃem a atividade de construÃÃo civil, sendo estes: mÃo de obra, materiais e serviÃos. Os resultados comprovaram, estatisticamente, que uma amostra de 90 trabalhadores da mÃo de obra pÃde ser extrapolada à mÃdia de trabalhadores utilizados ao longo da obra (115 trabalhadores), permitindo mensurar o volume de consumo de Ãgua (pegada hÃdrica) para o grupo mÃo de obra de 1.124.068,2 m3 de Ãgua (distribuÃda em Direta e Indireta), para o grupo materiais formados por 128 itens que possuem componente hÃdrico a pegada hÃdrica de 30.100,5 m3 de Ãgua (Indireta) e para o grupo serviÃos formados por 92 itens que utilizam Ãgua em suas execuÃÃes a pegada hÃdrica de 584.423,1 m3 de Ãgua (Direta), ou seja, no total do empreendimento a pegada hÃdrica de 1.738.591,8 m3. O montante total de consumo de Ãgua (1.738.591,8 m3) dividido pela Ãrea total do empreendimento (em m2) resultou em 93,98 m3/m2. Conclui-se que a pegada hÃdrica à uma metodologia de cÃlculo capaz de mensurar do volume de Ãgua consumido na atividade de construÃÃo civil permitindo que esse volume seja estimado na fase de planejamento da obra para melhor fornecimento pelos ÃrgÃos pÃblicos de gestÃo, para estimativa mais prÃxima do real da extraÃÃo voluntÃria que empresas de engenharia precisam realizar na perfuraÃÃo de poÃos e para avaliar possÃveis impactos ambientais desse recurso escasso.
This paper aims to propose a calculation methodology to measure the water footprint (PH) in the real estate construction activity. The water footprint is an empirical quantity indicator, the period and the place where the water is consumed and polluted, which is measured over the entire productive chain of a product showing not only the volume of water, as well as the type of water use (consumptive, rain, surface or underground, or water pollution), the location and the time when water was used. To calculate the water footprint in housing construction activity was used the methodology of Hoekstra et al. (2011) using the partial concept of 'blue water' - a kind of measure of ownership of the water footprint determined by consumption, evaporation and runoff into the ocean - in its use / consumption for human purposes in order to estimate the quantum of water is required to produce a residential building. The measurement was divided into three groups that make up civil construction activity, namely: labor, materials and services. The results showed statistically that a sample of 90 workers could be extrapolated to the average of workers employed throughout the work (115 employees), allowing to measure the volume of water consumption (water footprint) for the group of hand work was 1124068200.0 l of water (distributed direct and indirect) for the materials group consisting of 128 items that have water component, the water footprint was 30,100,539.5 l of water (Indirect) and for the service group, consisting of 92 items that use water, the water footprint was 584,427,948.4 l of water (Direct), ie the total of the enterprise the water footprint of 1738596688.0 l . The most relevant consumption workmanship were given to the categories 'liquid' and 'other higienes' in PH Direct and 'industrialized' and 'transport' in PH Indirect; for the most outstanding materials was evidenced in 'irons CA' (PH Indirect), and in services, the largest water consumption was evident in the service of 'mechanical protection' (PH Direct). The total amount of water consumption (1738596688.0 l) divided by the total area of the project (in m2) resulted in 93978.2 l / m2, where the housing unit of 157.14 m2 has a water footprint of 14,767. 734.2 l and 167.12 m2 one water footprint of 15705636.8 l. It follows that the water footprint is a calculation method capable of measuring the volume of water consumed in construction activity, allowing builders estimate this volume from the work planning stage in order to manage this scarce environmental resource

Повний текст джерелаFärskvatten är en begränsad, men förnybar resurs som på grund av sina unika egenskaper saknar substitut i många processer och användningsområden. Resursen är ojämnt fördelad över världen och många lever idag i vattenstressade regioner. I Europa står industrisektorn för cirka 40 procent av det totala vattenuttaget. Med en växande befolkning och ökad efterfrågan på mat och energi per capita kommer konkurrensen om vattenresurserna att bli hårdare. Vi måste därför anpassa oss efter denna verklighet och framtid och börja använda våra färskvattenresurser mer effektivt. Certifieringssystemet CEEQUAL har lyft vattenavtryck för byggprodukter som en viktig fråga vid val av material. Inom branschen vet man i dagsläget inte hur man ska hantera den frågan och utgångspunkten för denna rapport är att ge vägledning bland de metoder som finns tillgängliga idag samt att ge ett praktiskt exempel på två av de mest utvecklade metoderna, Water Footprint Network (WFN) metoden och livscykelanalys (LCA). Som ett praktiskt exempel utfördes en fallstudie som visade att resultatet av en vattenavtrycksanalys beror väldigt mycket på vilken metod som väljs, vilket innebär att harmonisering inom branschen är viktigt. LCA-metoden ger ett större avtryck än WFNmetoden då metoden inkluderar fler typer av vattenanvändning. Av de studerade materialen visade sig stål vara det som både använder och förbrukar mest vatten per kilogram. Det är också ett material som i betydande grad importeras från regioner som kan vara vattenstressade. Fyllnadsmaterial var ett av materialen med lägst vattenavtryck per kilogram, men då det används i så stora mängder i anläggningsprojekt är det detta material som bidrar med störst totalt vattenavtryck. På grund av den stora mängd som används utvinns fyllnadsmaterial dock oftast lokalt. Detta gör att vattenavtryckets signifikans minskar när det viktas med ett vattenstressindex, då det generellt finns gott om vatten i Sverige. Vattenavtryck kan användas till deklaration av potentiell påverkan på vattenresurser genom att inkludera resultatet i en miljövarudeklaration eller hållbarhetsrapport. Det kan även användas i ett naturkapitalkonto (E P&L) för vatten eller för att identifiera risker kopplade till vattenanvändning samt ge vägledning vid materialval och val av leverantör.

Повний текст джерелаIn recent years, several environmental issues have multiplied their presence in the corporate sectors agenda. More recently, an increased interest is observed among companies on the topic of water, an essential natural resource for the maintenance of ecosystems equilibrium and human socio-economic activities. To face the increasing pressure over the resource, resulting from the combination of population growth and changing consumption patterns, several tools have been developed. Their goal is to make corporate water consumption more rational and sustainable. One of these tools is the Water Footprint (WF), an indicator of direct and indirect water consumption in the production of goods and services. The water footprint quantifies and assesses the pressure from human activities on water resources. It classifies water resources according to their source and potential impact. Its use by the private sector is increasingly frequent. Against this context, this work aims at understanding the main reasons for companies adoption of the WF Assessment. This thesis, embracing a multidisciplinary approach, makes use of three theoretical frameworks: the Ecological Modernization Theory (EMT), Stakeholder theory (ST) and elements of the New Economic Sociology (NES). To this end, three different methodologies where used: a) document research; b) systematic literature research; c) case studies. The stated reasons for using the WF found in the literature research where classified into four categories that may be related to the theoretical frameworks presented. The results from this research identified as the main reasons under private sectors adoption of the WF. The first reason could be called advantages of this methodology, since it allows for a detailed analysis of water consumption in the supply chain, which can be analyzed using the EMT. A second reason would be related to the communication with the stakeholders. Companies recognize the need for addressing water consumption over their whole supply chain in order to meet the demands of different stakeholders and improve their communications with them. This recognition is explained by the ST and NES. Thirdly, risk assessment was is another important argument. WF assessment may help to address water-related risks, allowing them to anticipate the introduction of new regulations or contestation from different stakeholders. NES allows us to understand this reason. Lastly, companies include informed decision-making as another adoption reason. WF may be used for establishing goals and priorities for lower water consumption rates, identifying key partners and working together with key sectors of society. Ecological modernization theory contributes to explain this effect. The most frequent reasons mentioned were those related to the advantages of the methodology, arguing that the WF provides a broader understanding of pressure resulting from corporate activities. Nevertheless, considering the recent adoption by the private sector of this method, it would be important to re-evaluate the relation between water and the private sector, and with the WF in particular. In this sense, it is increasingly necessary that environmental limits and ecosystems carrying capacity guide societal organization.

Dessa frågor är designade för en kiosk i en utställningsmiljö, och kommer att användas för ett projekt som kallas för ‘Homo Colossus’ som kommer att presenteras på diverse utställningar. Huvudkällan för energivärdena i denna uppsats kommer ifrån David JC MacKay. Huvudfrågan som denna uppsats täcker är hur vi kan, med så få frågor som möjligt, ge en uppskattning av någons årliga energikonsumtion. För att uppnå detta, så intervjuade vi personer med relevant erfarenhet och skapade ett frågeformulär för att testa frågorna. Resultatet från testet ledde till små förändringar i strukturen av frågeformuläret.

Повний текст джерелаWater is essential for sustaining life. However, the situations of hydric stress - less than 1.700 m per capita water availability per year (FALKENMARK, 1989) - experienced in many parts of the world, coupled with the rapid growth of the global population, the problems related to water use tend to increase. In this context, the water footprint (WF), which is an indicator of environmental sustainability becomes an important tool for water resource management indicates the consumption of fresh water based on their uses. This study aimed to measure the water footprint as a function of industrial components, domestic and feed of the population of the Rocinhas neighborhood, a cluster subnormal located in the municipality of Rio de Janeiro. The research was focused on a case study of 20 sub-districts of the community. Its approach was quantitative, with a sample of 203 households, sampling error of 7% and confidence level of 93%. For this purpose, was used as the tool for calculating the Water Footprint Network model year 2005. The results indicated that, on average, the WF of the individuals in the sample is 1715 m/ year per capita divided as follows: WF of domestic water consumption of 175 m/ year per capita (479 l/ inhab.day), WF agricultural products equal to 1470 m/ year per capita, and WF industrial products 70 m/ year per capita. The results suggest that individuals in the sample with a higher monthly expenditure tend to have industrial water footprints and overall greater.

Повний текст джерелаThe food system is increasingly interlinked with our future, which includes a wide variety of societal concerns ranging from food security, nutrition, social and economic inequities to climate change, biodiversity, and ocean ecosystem services. In particular, the wine chain emerges as one of the most examined areas given its significant relevance in economic production and global distribution market. In accordance with the provisions of the European Union's New Green Deal and the United Nations Agenda 2030, the wine sector must strive to transition to economically and environmentally sustainable management systems, linked to premium quality production and a recognized and remunerated context of biodiversity conservation. A proper determination of the methods and courses of action to enhance the wine industry's sustainability must begin with an objective and accurate analysis of its products and procedures' sustainability performance. Within this framework, the present thesis aims at a deeper understanding of the strategies applied in the wine sector and of their outcomes. For this purpose, numerous assessments have been conducted, with different indicators used to measure, monitor and improve sustainability performance.

Повний текст джерелаI den här studien har konsumtionsbaserade tidsserier på svensk fossilbränsleanvändning och på svenska utsläpp av luftföroreningar tagits fram i avsikt att jämföra dessa med de officiella produktionsbaserade tidsserierna. Syftet har varit att avgöra om det svenska samhällets påverkan på resurser och miljö ur ett konsumtionsperspektiv har minskat eller ökat över tiden, och framförallt om en frikoppling har skett mellan den svenska ekonomiska tillväxten och den påverkan Sverige har på miljön i Sverige och utomlands. Tre fossila bränslen (olja, kol, gas samt aggregatet fossila bränslen) och sju luftföroreningar (CO2, CH4, N2O, SO2, NOx, CO och NMVOC samt aggregatet CO2-ekvivalenter) har analyserats. En enkelregional input–output-modell har tagits fram, utökad med globala medelintensiteter för den produktion som sker utanför Sverige. En ny metod har också utvecklats för att generera input–output-tabeller för år där officiella sådana tabeller saknas. För samtliga energiresurser och luftföroreningar, upprättades två stycken tidsserier, baserat på två olika revisioner av ekonomiska data från nationalräkenskaperna. Den första tidsserien täcker åren 1993–2003, och den andra åren 2000–2005. Miljödata togs från nyligen reviderade tidsserier från de svenska miljöräkenskaperna samt från IEA och den internationella luftföroreningsdatabasen EDGAR (alla data reviderade 2010 eller senare). En komponentanalys utfördes också, för att identifiera olika bidragande komponenter i tidsserierna. Vad gäller fossila bränslen i sin helhet, uppstår ingen markant skillnad mellan konsumtionsbaserade och produktionsbaserade data. Vad gäller växthusgaserna kan en klar ökning urskiljas (20 procents ökning av CO2-ekvivalenter mellan 1993–2005; CH4-utsläppen har där bidragit mest), vilket beror på stigande utsläpp utomlands orsakade av ökad efterfrågan på importerade produkter. Detta antyder att den svenska tillväxten ännu inte frikopplats från ökade utsläpp av växthusgaser, vilket står i motsats till den minskning i utsläpp som de officiella produktionsbaserade siffrorna från UNFCCC-rapporteringen redovisar. För övriga luftföroreningar (SO2, NOx, CO och NMVOC), sker i allmänhet en minskning, förutom för SO2 och NOx som ökar i den andra tidsserien. Samtliga luftföroreningar ligger vidare på en betydligt högre nivå jämfört med UNFCCC-rapporteringen. Mer detaljerade studier behövs dock på den energiförbrukning och de utsläpp som svensk slutlig användning för med sig utomlands. Tidsserierna behöver också förlängas och fler miljövariabler som t.ex. materialanvändningen behöver studeras för att kunna dra säkrare slutsatser kring i vilken utsträckning som den svenska tillväxten har varit hållbar eller ej.

Повний текст джерелаDe senaste åren har digitalisering omformat medielandskapet, med ett implicit löfte om att minska beroendet av fysiska resurser. Dessutom finns det tydliga trender som pekar mot en ökad användning av små, mobila enheter för att konsumera alla sorters media. En uppdaterad bottom-up analys bedöms komplettera mer generella observationer och bedömningar. Om man antar årliga genomsnittliga konsumtionsmönster i Tyskland, så är tillverkningen av elektroniska slutanvändarenheter – oavsett om de är till för enskilda ändamål (e-läsare) eller om de är multifunktionella (smartphone, surfplatta) – onekligen en miljömässigt kritisk punkt för digitalt läsande. Elförbrukningen, som sker i samband med dataöverföringen, kan också vara en avgörande faktor för den övergripande miljöpåverkan av digital läsning. Dock beror den faktiska påverkan av dataöverförningsinfrastrukturer dels på metodologiska val men även på ett antal andra parametrar och trender. Genom att undersöka indikatorn för global uppvärmning kan denna studie konstatera att resultaten stödjer tidigare forskning, som redan pekar på de miljömässiga vinsterna av digitalt läsande. Målgruppen för denna studie innefattar både distributörer av digitala läs-tjänster och/eller andra media tjänster såväl som slutanvändare som ett integrerat element i ”digitala ekosystem”.

Повний текст джерелаVattenfotavtryck är ett verktyg för att bedöma miljöpåverkan från användningen av vatten. Med ett vattenfotavtryck kartläggs hur vatten används för produktionen av en vara, för en process i en produktionskedja, ett företag eller för ett helt land. En av de mest använda metoderna för beräkning av vattenfotavtryck utvecklades av Water Footprint Network (WFN). Syftet med denna studie var att genom användning av WFN:s metod beräkna vattenfotavtrycket för produktionen av kaffe i området Miraflor i Nicaragua. Studien ämnade visa var förbättringar kan göras i vattenresurshanteringen, både vad gäller mängden vatten som används i de olika produktionsstegen som i behandlingen av restvattnet från kaffeproduktionen. Resultatet från studien visar ett vattenfotavtryck på 20 049 m3 per ton skördat kaffe i Miraflor. Sett till hela skörden för säsongen 2015/2016 ger detta ger en total konsumtion av mer än 6 000 000 m3 vatten. Resultatet påvisar att vegetationsperioden är den i särklass största bidragande faktorn till kaffeproduktionens vattenfotavtryck med 98,1 % av det totala avtrycket. Nicaragua och regionen där Miraflor ligger har alltjämt ökande problem med vattenbrist på grund av torka och föroreningar av vattenresurser. Studiens resultat visar tillsammans med denna bakgrund att nuvarande tekniker i kaffeproduktionen i Miraflor bör förbättras för att minimera konsekvenser för lokala vattenresurser och miljön. Främst är det användningen av bekämpningsmedel och gödsel som ger upphov till det stora vattenfotavtrycket. Kaffeproduktionen orsakar därtill överträdelser av gällande bestämmelser om värden på vattenkvalitetsparameterar i restvatten från kaffeproduktion. En ytterligare betydande faktor för vattenfotavtrycket som påvisas i studien är konsumtionen av regnvatten via evapotranspiration från grödorna i fält. För att minska vattenfotavtrycket bör i första hand en mer medveten användning av bekämpningsmedel och gödsel införas. Därtill bör det ske en förbättring i hanteringen av utsläppsvatten. Den senare faktorn kan utvecklas genom att nya installationer införs där även mindre sådana troligtvis skulle ge en betydande skillnad. Andra metoder för att minska vattenfotavtrycket ligger i att generera en högre skörd per hektar land.

Повний текст джерелаIn a context where the tensions linked to fossil energy resources are increasing, design a new way of understanding the energy context has become essential. The usual means of energy production and consumption have shown their limit with the appearance of new types of pollution for different sectors. In this thesis, we mainly focused on the electricity sector by proposing a tool to simulate electricity consumption and electricity production from renewable energies (RES). Simulation of electricity consumption allows having information on different observation scales based on a systemic and typological approach, according to which the associated carbon footprint to this consumption is being calculated as well as its annual cost. Subsequently, this consumption was analyzed at the hourly scale, which is to relate it to the production files in order to control the load curve. This control aims to smooth down the peaks of the load curve. The first analytical results, obtained by using the developed tools, show that it is possible to reduce the use of the normal electrical network to a certain level according to the dimensions of the RES production systems and storage

Повний текст джерелаHowever, there are several challenges to the sustainability of the current economic prosperity, and the environmental degradation that was caused by the rapid development is an important factor in this context. Today, the United Arab Emirates as a country has the highest ecological footprint per capita in the world and Abu Dhabi, hosting the major part of the heavy industries and oil extraction capacity in the country, has an even larger footprint. Key drivers of this poor environmental track-record are the high greenhouse gas emissions and water consumption levels.
This deterioration of environmental conditions has growing implications for the economic welfare and physical well-being of the population. So far, the government's environmental policy is mostly symbolic, and concrete policy measures are largely lacking today. On the contrary, there are crucial elements in the governmental policy that have strong negative impacts on environmental conditions and thus on the sustainability of Abu Dhabi's growth, such as generous implicit subsidies on energy commodities and water and an ambitious strategy for economic growth, depending on a strong expansion of heavy industry.
This poses the question how environmental conditions will develop, when the population boom and economic expansion are anticipated to continue. However, the academic literature on environmental sustainability issues in Abu Dhabi as well as in the wider Gulf region is limited. Moreover, applied policy studies on the topic are absent as well.
This dissertation intends to contribute to the academic literature as well as to insights from existing policy studies, by projecting the impact of sustained economic growth on environmental conditions in Abu Dhabi. It compares a baseline scenario of economic growth with the four most relevant policy options aimed at footprint reductions available to policy makers in the Emirate: i) The introduction of a nuclear power plant; ii) An abandonment of utility price controls; iii) Shifts in the subsidization policy of water and energy markets; iv) Energy efficiency improvements in selected parts of the economy.
A recursively dynamic, multi-sectoral computable general equilibrium (CGE) model is used to generate the results in this dissertation, focusing on the two most important aspects of the ecological footprint in Abu Dhabi mentioned above. The CGE model is calibrated to a SAM for Abu Dhabi for 2009, and its specification is chosen to facilitate a focus on energy consumption and sustainability issues. Besides, it is extended by an environmental module and a fossil fuel module, and it incorporates several other modifications that are tailored to the Abu Dhabi economy.
Simulation results under a baseline scenario of economic growth show that carbon emissions will grow by 282% by 2030 compared to the base year 2009, and water consumption is anticipated to increase by 312%.
The introduction of nuclear plants, at the scale that is previewed today, will yield a reduction in emissions of 2.6% compared to the baseline scenario. The economic impact will be positive, with a 0.5% increase in GDP and small gains in employment levels.
Price liberalizations in the utility markets are a politically sensitive theme. When implemented, they can yield a 7.6% reduction in emissions and a 2.3% in water consumption by 2030 (vs. baseline). However, the economic cost involved amounts to 0.3% of GDP.
An abandonment of subsidies in the energy and water markets can lead to a 11.1% drop in carbon emissions, and a 28.8% decline in water consumption vs. baseline. The domestic economic impacts of this change are negative, but the GDP shows a modest 0.6% growth, due to improvements in the foreign trade balance.
Finally, efficiency improvements can lead to reductions in carbon emissions (13.8%) and water consumption (17.5%) compared to the baseline, and bring economic gains of 1.0% of GDP.
All four simulated policy scenarios in this dissertation bring about reductions in the ecological footprint, compared to the baseline as described above. Nonetheless, the consumption levels of energy and water as well as the related carbon emissions will be substantially higher in 2030 than they are today, under each of these scenarios. As a policy implication, the dissertation therefore finds that the previewed deterioration in environmental conditions requires active policy, if current welfare and prosperity are to be sustained. When assessed in the appropriate policy context, environmental conservation and improvements in the ecological footprint should be treated with a higher priority in the broad portfolio of development goals in Abu Dhabi.

Повний текст джерелаRising demand for cheaper textiles and clothing in Western Europe is well documented, as are changes in the Textiles and Clothing industry's globalised production structure. We apply a sub-systems global multi-regional input–output accounting framework to examine the sustainability implications of meeting Western European demand for textiles and clothing goods between 1995 and 2009. Our framework estimates environmental and socio-economic impacts of consumption in a consistent manner and shows where these occur both geographically and in the value chain. The results demonstrate that Western European textiles and clothing consumption remains dependent on low-cost labour from Brazil, Russia, India and China (BRIC), principally in the Textiles and Clothing and Agricultural sectors. Conversely, we show that the wage rate for BRIC workers in the global value chains serving Western European textiles and clothing consumption has risen over time but remains low relative to the wage rate paid to Western European workers. Likewise, we find that profits are increasingly generated within BRIC and that they are now at comparable levels to those generated in Western Europe. We find a slight overall decrease in the amount of carbon emitted in the production of textiles and clothing goods for Western Europe between 1995 and 2009. However, the trend is not linear and the importance of different underlying drivers varies over the timeseries. We conclude by discussing the implications of these results for a more sustainable future for Western European textiles and clothing consumption.

In recent years, global environmental changes, global warming and the greenhouse effect and so on become the current common concern all over the world. United Nations Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) study made it clear that a large number of man-made greenhouse gas emissions are causing global warming and other climate change is the main cause, and the use of fossil fuels, carbon dioxide emission, being seen as the result of warming culprit. The purpose of this study in the empirical analysis of the different density of the development of the neighborhood, its built environment and non-built environment on household energy consumption, the impact surveyed by using the mail survey the actual investigation and understanding of each household energy consumption in the dynamic and static energy consumption , combined with carbon footprint (Carbon Footprint) of the concept of measuring and calculating the neighborhood of household energy consumption carbon footprint; again by the structural equation model at the same time deal with the problem of measurement and analysis of the characteristics and based on past research the idea, further established of high-density and low-density carbon footprint of energy consumption theoretical model, compared the effects of the two variables and the effect of the impact. The results found that the neighborhood development density will not affect the household the choice which will transport regarding the transportation has, regardless of the dynamic energy consumption carbon footprint or static energy consumption carbon footprint, low-density of household energy consumption carbon footprint higher than high-density. High-density neighborhood in the household environment, the main cause to influence dynamic energy consumption of major carbon footprint of block types size, static energy consumption of major carbon footprint of density of registered inhabitants; low-density neighborhood in the household environment, the main cause to influence dynamic energy and static consumption of major carbon footprint of the type of building. Finally, the impact of household energy consumption, carbon footprint of factors, to improve the mitigation strategy.

Water is indispensable limited resource of industrial development and environmental protection. Compared to the energy and environmental crisis, water scarcity will result in more direct impact on human being. In recent years, sustainable development and other related issues has been paid more and more attention. Water footprint is a new issue in succession to ecological footprint and carbon footprint. This article apply water footprint to explore the water consumption of the science park in view of direct water consumption has been unable to reflect the situation of water resources utilization. First, the water footprint model was established by the input-output model. Secondly, using the water footprint model to explore the situation of water footprint of science park industries, Hsinchu, Taichung and Tainan science parks over the years. Finally, based on empirical analysis of the results, hoping this research could provide useful information as sustainable development planning of the science park. According to the study results show that Integrated Circuit Industry, whether in the Republic of 90 years, 93 years or 95 years, are the lowest total water consumption per unit of output of the six industries. From water footprint point of view, compared to other industries of the science park, developing of integrated circuit industry has lower impact on environment. Furthermore, the Integrated Circuit Industry, Precision Machinery Industry and Biotechnology Industry increasingly dependent on foreign water resources, so as to alleviate water shortage in Taiwan. In general, different from the previous studies of water consumption, this article incorporate the indirect water into analysis. It`s in a broader perspective and comprehensive view of the water consumption of each industry.

When the mankind's development gets into so-called"science and technology times", the movable realm that extends the reformation nature also pushes material and spiritual civilization of mankind's world into unprecedented new high that has ever had point, besides which, however, so for the sake of existence development and promote the living standard carry on of activity, have already brought many changes for our natural environments, at present, we face the traditional energy to use up day by day face to face, world impact of the climate change, and along with promoting of citizen's knowledge level, concerning environment subject already keep on at folks proliferation, be subjected to the public value gradually, hence development of green energy industry for responding this urgent energy crisis, is this, the consumer in 21th century seems to also start changing it to live pattern and consumption behavior. Therefore, this research aim at understanding the society's green consumption behavior can under the influence of the consumer's environmental protection attitude?However, "the environmental protection attitude" oneself is belong to a kind of not complete and concept of abstraction, hard measurement, will make use of "the carbon footprint" point of view to come to quantification the consumer's"the environmental protection attitude", and take into to inquire into for this research. The way that this research adopts a questionnaire, and with point of view of carbon footprint to environmental protection attitude of quantification abstraction, after deducting an invalid questionnaire, effective questionnaire is 250, through descriptive statistics, letter after effect analysis and structure equation mode analyzes, the research suggests that appropriate environmental protection price of article and quality enhance and have already helped to promote the product value as a result;And strengthen the environmental protection value of environmental protection product, have already helped to promote the consciousness value;Another can with carbon footprint concept, measure the consumer's environmental protection attitude;And advanced age the consumer should be included in an initial environmental protection product to sell a target market.

Повний текст джерелаАвторы проверяют гипотезу о наличии связи между потреблением невозобновляемых ресурсов в странах-лидерах европейского региона с точки зрения промышленности с добавленной стоимостью и здоровья. Они провели ранжированный корреляционный анализ ключевых показателей здоровья населения и объемов потребления возобновляемых и невозобновляемых ресурсов в отдельных странах. Исследователи предположили небольшую взаимосвязь между количеством лет здоровой жизни и производством возобновляемых источников энергии, что внесло положительный вклад в экологическую ситуацию в стране. Среди сравниваемых стран страны, характеризующиеся высоким потреблением первичных энергоресурсов, являются пропорционально более производительными и возобновляемыми энергоресурсами. Анализ показывает, что различия в показателях здоровья населения регионов обуславливают другие более важные факторы, чем изучаемые. Некоторые зависимости можно увидеть при анализе причин смерти среди населения стран, например, от сердечно-сосудистых заболеваний. Фактором риска этого заболевания является загрязнение воздуха, вызванное чрезмерным потреблением невозобновляемых источников энергии. Авторы рекомендуют учитывать показатель экологического следа в рейтингах качества жизни в регионах. По сравнению со странами с более низким рейтингом благосостояния этот параметр слишком высок для лидеров. В ходе исследования авторы рассмотрели коэффициент x3 для показателя здоровья в Legatum Prosperity Index.
The authors test the hypothesis that there is a link between the consumption of non-renewable resources in leaders economies in the European region in terms of value-added industry and health. They performed a ranking correlation analysis on key indicators of population health and volumes of consumption of renewable and non-renewable resources in individual countries. The researchers assumed a slight relationship between the rate of healthy years of life and the production of renewable energy resources, making a positive contribution to the country's environmental situation. Among the compared countries, those characterized by high consumption of primary energy resources are proportionally more productive and renewable energy resources. The analysis shows that differences in the health indicators of the regions' population cause other more important factors than the studied ones. Some dependencies can be seen in analyzing the causes of death among the population of countries, for example, by cardiovascular diseases. The risk factor for this illness is air pollution caused by excessive consumption of non-renewable energy resources. The authors recommend considering the indicator of ecological footprint in the ratings of life quality in the regions. Compared to countries with lower welfare rankings, this parameter is too high for leaders. Under investigation, the authors considered the x3 weight for the health indicator in the Legatum Prosperity Index.

Повний текст джерелаClimate change is both a global and a local phenomenon caused by human activities, where food is one such activity. In this dissertation, we present an environmentally sustainable diet in Portugal, to mitigate the environmental impact of food and its contribution to climate change, by setting the general hypothesis of vegetarian food as a solution. The carbon footprint, an environmental impact indicator, was estimated for the common omnivore and vegetarian meals in Portugal: comparing them, analysing them, and presenting alternatives to common omnivore meals in Portugal, 'turned' vegetarian. Research was done to understand the concepts related to sustainability, globally and in Portugal, to inform how to measure the environmental impact of food. A brief revision was also done on how to communicate environmental impact, in order to present the results of this dissertation in an immediate, comparable, relevant, and appealing way, towards reducing individuals’ food carbon footprint. The carbon footprint is widely used in studies with a similar theme to this dissertation. Results from those studies were applied to estimate the carbon footprint of ingredients used in the meals in Portugal. The results show that the carbon footprint of common omnivore meals in Portugal is 5.5 times higher than that of common vegetarian meals in Portugal. Moreover, the common omnivore meals in Portugal when 'turned' vegetarian, have a carbon footprint about 6.4 times lower than the usual omnivore meals in Portugal. This confirms the general hypothesis of vegetarian food as a solution to an environmentally sustainable diet in Portugal.
