Abstract: With the increase in the need for actions related to slowing down the advancement of climate change impacts, aligned with the call for a more sustainable development through the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, the assurance of ways to mitigate and assess the impact of human activities, such as transportation, is much needed. Over the years, frameworks that enable the implementation of sustainable development have been developed, like the Green Bonds, but to evaluate the applicability of mitigation actions related to the Green Bonds, and to precisely measure mitigation actions, indicators are used as reliable sources of information. Thus, this study aims to map, through a review of the literature, mitigation actions and the respective indicators that are, directly or indirectly, related to the Green Bond Principles, pertaining to the tans portion sector. The mitigation actions and indicators may serve as a guide for the decision-makers, both in the public and private sectors, to assure the application of the Green Bond Principles and sustainability in the transportation sector.

Subject: Life Cycle Assessment and Circular Economy Strategies for Electric Vehicle: Systematic Review on Mitigating Climate Change and Reducing Resource Depletion in Road Transportation
Keywords: Road transportation, Electric vehicles, Life cycle assessment, Circular economy, Framework and systematic literature review
Abstract: Electric vehicles (EVs) have the potential to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as well as limit other local pollutants that negatively impact the health of the urban population. The compete life cycle of EVs needs to be better evaluated to avoid natural resource depletion while nullifying end-use emissions in order to meet climate goals. Thus, to face the challenges of resource use and the effective implementation of strategies to reduce the negative externalities of this process, it is necessary to focus on the end-of-life (EoL) management of these vehicles by applying strategies based on Circular Economy (CE) concepts. Based on systematic literature revie through a bibliometric approach, the proposed chapter sought to identify the points of synergy between Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and CE strategies to reduce the carbon footprint of EVs, with a focus on battery electric vehicles (BEVs) After analyzing 54 articles from the Web of Science and Scopus databases that met quality and applicability criteria, a framework of the relationship between LCA stages and CE strategies for transportation systems was developed , highlighting opportunities and challenges for each CE stage and the life cycle of EV, consolidating the contribution of this research.

Keywords: Carbon footprint in urbanisation, Sustainable urban systems, Construction cost database, Cost control, Project budget, Urban renewal
Abstract: This publication presents a methodology for the evaluation of the carbon footprint of urban renewal projects. New models of architecture and urban environments that are replicated in many parts of the world are notable for the inclusion plants and trees of all sizes and functions, which can absorb tons of CO2 and pollutnatnts annually and produce oxygen. With the methodology developed in the present work, it is possible to analyze the amortisation period of these urban environments in terms of their carbon footprint by considering the reduction of the impact that is achieved with the increase of landscaped areas. Moreover, the carbon footprint of the construction process from the cradle to the grave can be determined as its indirect footprint. The street renewal has incorporated water -sensitive criteria, with the construction of five green areas, and of roads and pavements. The methodology identifies changes in garden designs, soil drainage, and rainwater-collection systems in terms of carbon footprint. The carbon footprint results from the execution of the work and the carbon sequestration by vegetation in year, whereby differences are detected between scenarios. Materials and systems can be ranked according to their impact. The indirect footprint increases by factor of 2.6 in comparison with that of a project without new green areas. However, in the long run, it is possible to triple the carbon capture capacity and the halve the direct footprint during the use phase. This balance implies, at the ended of life cycle, that the carbon footprint has been reduced by 75%.

Abstract: Public awareness of the environmental problems associated with single-use plastic bags is growing and different management alternatives are being implemented, including regulatory interventions. At least 35 countries around the world have taken steps to tax or ban single-use bags. Evaluating the carbon footprint of different bags is not a trivial or intuitive matter; it requires consideration of material and energy inputs throughout the life cycle of each bag and each material has its own characteristics and Enviromental impacts. To calculate the carbon footprint of grocery carrying bags, it is necessary to consider the efficiency in the use of the bag, the distribution process, the possibility of reusing or recycling and the final disposal. This chapter presents the evaluation of the carbon footprint of four types of carrying bags through the Life Cycle Assessment methodology, using data published in scientific literature, so as to identify the variability of the results. In this work, the "Cradle to grave" approach is adopted , which considers the environmental impacts of the grocery bags, considering the extraction of raw materials, the processing of raw materials, the manufacture of the bags, their commercialization, use and final disposal (landfill/recycling).The bags analyzed are made of the following materials: High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), Low Density Polyethylene bags (LDPE) Polypropylene (PP) bags and Polycaprolactone (PCL) bags. PCL bags are adopted as a reference for biodegradable bags because they are the most common polymer for which information was available in bibliographic sources. This material is from fossil origin but has the characteristics of being biodegradable. The calculation of the carbon footprint is based on bibliographic data that come from published scientific articles, considering 8 articles on HDPE bags, 8 articles on LDPE, 5on PP (non-woven) and 7 articles of PCL. It was decided to use only the information on nonwoven PP and PCL, since the information found on the other variants would not present sufficiently representative data.

Keywords: Carbon footprint Assessment, Jatropha, Microalgal biodiesel
Abstract: Diminishing fossil fuels reserves, escalating oil prices, higher greenhouse gas footprint, and the adverse effects of climate change have propelled increased research focus during the twenty-first century on sustainable renewable energy transitions. Algal biofuel is gaining global interest due to its potential to convert biomass into a range of bioenergy and other value-added products. Life Cycle a Assessment (LCA) aids in quantifying the environmental benefits of algal biodiesel over plant-oil-based diesel. The present chapter presents the environmental footprint of biodiesel from microalgae. It is compared with the terrestrial oil yielding feedstocks of first (palm) and second-generation (Jatropha) -derived biodiesel by considering the mass and energy of production processes starting from feedstock generation to biodiesel production (cradle to gate analysis) .The life cycle impact of different generations of he biodiesel was assessed using Open LCA software to understand the potential health and Environemtal implications (GHG, etc) /soundness. Process-wise energy expenditure estimation shows a 68% and 45% reduction in energy expenditure and GHG emissions in algal biodiesel compared to first-(palm) and second-generation (jatropha) biodiesel, respectively. Results also revealed a GHG mitigation potential in terms of direct GHG emission savings of 84,90, and 95% for palm, Jatropha, and microalgal biodiesel compared to conventional fossil diesel.
