concentration of greenhouse gas emissions while promoting sustainable and equitable development are needed to be taken rapidly and immediately by countries world-wide. Choice of strategies that are sensitive to regional and national needs is a major challenge because of diversities in responsibility and obligations and developmental needs in the world. However‚ large number of tools and techniques available which can assist countries and regions to determine such strategies. They will need to be continuously

a type of energy source that is slowly becoming more prominent as our energy crisis continues. Energy crisis is the consideration why I chose tidal renewable energy as a subject and it unlimited abundance source of clean energy system the world could use. Tidal power has great potential for future power and present energy consumption because of the massive size of our oceans. Using a combination of dams‚ fences‚ and turbines‚ many countries are utilizing the almost untapped resources of inexhaustible

Ukraine is distinct for being home to some of the richest natural environments and resources in Europe while at the same time being one of the most heavily polluted countries in the region. Ukraine is one of the least energy efficient countries in the world (Bank‚ 2007). World Bank (2007) composed an inventory in 1998‚ and estimated that total emissions from Ukraine were 246 million tons of CO2‚ and in 2002 the total emissions were 487.7 million tons of carbon equivalents. Ukraine has a severely

SOLAR POWER IN TODAYS WORLD JEROME T. GARDNER COLUMBIA SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY ABSTRACT Since first discovered in the 1860s‚ the concept of storing energy from the sun to use as a source of power has been studied and pursued by many programs. Either using solar collectors or photovoltaic cells‚ the methods of using solar power are becoming more efficient and cost-effective. Solar technology is currently being used by homes and businesses‚ but is still too expensive and risky for many residents. Researchers

The Tax Incentives for Energy sustainability Building Introduction Nowadays‚ the built environment has a tremendous impact on the natural environment‚ human health and economy. Since buildings have substantial impacts on the environment‚ it has become necessary to pay more attention to environmental performance in building design (Pearman & Jager‚ 1989). Green buildings also describe as sustainable building‚ are developed to minimize the total environmental impacts which are making effective

With the end of colonialism and the emergence of a seemingly new world order we have entered into the age of “post-modernization”. Without any doubt‚ the leading issues for the beginning of the new age are globalization and global risks. As a part of this informative‚ knowledge-based‚ globalised risk society (Beck) we

During my research on peak oil and energy resources‚ climate change‚ and the capacity of the Earth to support human life‚ I found that there was much information available on the issues (i.e.‚ the relevant science‚ data‚ and facts were already available)‚ but that much of it was not synthesized to make a comprehensive and complete picture (i.e.‚ complete with accurate data and comprehensive analyses). So‚ some of the people who may be aware of peak oil (or climate change) may not fully understand
