This book was released on 2023-01-01 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is conceptualized as being of interest to researchers in the field of sustainable transport, and also those who are working in the field. In the first case it will provide a reference on the state of the art of sustainable transport, and will also include insights into an EU project, how to go about delivering impact, how such projects effect local authorities, etc. Sustainable transport is an extreme growth area; it is highly innovative, with multi-million-pound investments transforming cities. The book will help and encourage resource poor small to medium local authorities catch up and meet their sustainability targets.

Download or read book Sustainable Transport, Mobility Management and Travel Plans written by Marcus Enoch and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-01 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charting the development of the travel plan as a concept, this book draws on a range of research-based contributions to determine the state-of-the-art and to explore a series of future scenarios in this area for practitioners and policy makers. Site-based mobility management or 'travel plans' address the transport problem by engaging with those organisations such as employers that are directly responsible for generating the demand for travel, and hence have the potential to have a major impact on transport policy. To do this effectively however, travel plans need to be reoriented to be made more relevant to the needs of these organisations, whilst the policy framework in which they operate needs modifying to better support their diffusion and enhance their effectiveness. Marcus Enoch breaks down the travel plan concept into four axes related to its development (namely segment, scale, structure and support), and investigates the following questions: - What makes them special? - Why are they introduced? - What do they look like in terms of their design and the measures they use? - How common are they and in what sectors and location types? - How effective are they? - What barriers do they face and how might these be overcome?

Download or read book Development and Quantification of Sustainability Indicators written by Subramanian Senthilkannan Muthu and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-09-12 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book highlights various methods for quantifying sustainability indicators using different indices. To date, numerous sustainability indicators encompassing either all three pillars (economic, environmental and social) or individual or joint indicators (e.g. environmental and social) have been developed and quantified. In addition to commonly developed indicators, which can be utilized for any industrial sector, sector-specific sustainability indicators are frequently used. Behind each indicator developed, there is a unique scientific model, method or assessment technique. This book explores and elaborates on such indicators, and on associated details such as the concept, development methodology, assessment technique, and applications of each indicator.

Download or read book Sustainable Agriculture and Global Environmental Health written by Mónica Chávez-González and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2024-12-06 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New technologies have the potential to transform the agri-food industry by improving agricultural productivity. Recent innovations in this sector are making a useful contribution to environmental sustainability as well. This new book presents advanced methods and modern technologies in agri-food sectors to improve environmental health and food security on a global scale. It explores the principles of environmental sustainability and explains how these principles can be applied in practice in agri-food systems. It also provides an accessible framework for the effective management of resources for the reduction of chronic disease in humans and mitigating the degradation of the environment. Key features: Describes the key concepts of sustainable food production for scientists interested in the environmental impacts of agriculture Reviews sustainable options to the industrial production methods used today to adopt healthier foods and lifestyles Reports on sustainable resources for the food industry along with sustainable processes for food scientists of all levels, both in academia and industry Explores technical innovations to connect the gap between a healthy environment and sustainable agriculture using the theories and principles set out in each chapter to address real-world problems Presents case studies related to our growing demand for food from the perspectives of disciplines ranging from environmental science to public health

Download or read book Sustainable Nordic cities with focus on climate smart mobility written by Mellin, Anna and published by Nordic Council of Ministers. This book was released on 2021-02-01 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Available online: https://pub.norden.org/temanord2021-505/# Sustainable Nordic cities with a focus on climate-smart mobility is one of four projects launched under the Swedish Presidency of the Nordic Council of Ministers in 2018. The aim of the project is to contribute to a sustainable urban development by supporting the transition to fossil free and sustainable transportation in Nordic cities and their surround-ing regions. The project involves collaborating and exchanging experi-ences with other Nordic countries to find solutions for charging electric vehicles and creating attractive and climate-smart urban transport. This report has been compiled from some of the most interesting applicable examples found in the Nordic countries. In here we present policy recom-mendations and good examples on how to accelerate the transition to cli-mate-smart mobility and accessibility based firmly on these Nordic exchang-es of knowledge and experiences.
