Subject: Sustainable Transport indicators and mitigation actions applied to the green bond principles.
Keywords: Climate change, Green bonds, transport sector, sustainable transport indicators, Mitigation actions
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.

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.

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.

Keywords: Green Bonds market, Sustainable Transport Projects,
Abstract: With increasing impacts of climate change in recent years, resulting from changes in temperature and climate patterns due to anthropogenic actions, the search for mitigation tools has become urgent. As it is considerably dependent on fossil fuels, the transportation sector ends up emitting greenhouse gas 9GHG) without a rigorous mitigation policy, in view of its essentially for the entire society. Thus, this study seek to provide proposols for the neutralization and mitigation of GHG in the transportation sector, aiming at the compliance of nationally determined Contributions (NDCs) through the adoption of instruments such as Green Bonds and methods such as Measure/Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (MRV) .In this context, this study aims to present and describe steps needed to identify and evaluate mitigation actions in order to reduce GHG emissions and resource depletion through the implementation of green projects focusing on the transportation sector. The roadmap created allows guiding transport decision-makers on the best sustainable transport projects underway and indicates those that need intervention.

Abstract: Bio-invasion is the entry and colonization by certain species of new geographical locations that are not allotted by nature to them as native habitats. Such species are termed as invasive or introduced (when intentionally introduced by human beings for definite purpose) species. Generally, invasive species have profound ecological impacts on biotic communities and ecological functions of the ecosystems at invaded location and adversely reduce the biodiversity of ecosystems.

Abstract: This chapter examines a puzzle associated with slash and burn,or shifting cultivation ( locally called Jhum cultivation) ,namely its persistence in several regions of the world, including the northeastern Indian states, in particular Mizoram. We argue that a simple theory of such persistence can be built around the interaction of several factors, namely Jhum's mode of production (with its emphasis on collective action), and social capital. Further, our analysis generates the testable hypothesis that such persistence is more likely if the population is not too large.

Abstract: Perform, Achieve and Trade (PAT) has emerged as a n energy and climate policy mandating a decrease in specific energy consumption (SEC) (that is energy use per unit of production) in energy-intensive industries in India. Under this scheme, the mechanism of benchmarking and trading of energy efficiency certificates will allow the domestic overachievers to trade their credits with those who underachieve. Emphasizing on the fact that growth in production is not obstructed by limited energy use, PAT creates an incentive for the producers to use energy with greater efficiency.

Abstract: In August 2009, a fire broke out aboard the European container ship MSC jesica killing six workers on the Indian ship breaking beaches of Alang. These kinds of tragedies are rather common. The fire erupted as they were dismantling the cargoship's engine room. It took place as the ship had neither been decontaminated by the original owner nor made safe by the local enterprise. The Geneva-based Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC), the world's second -largest shipping line in terms of container vessel capacity, had profitably used the ship since its construction in 1980.

Abstract: The relationship between the trade and the environment has become an increasingly contentious issue between economists and environmentalists. Economists have the firm opinion that trade helps the natural environment because rich countries can better afford to protect their unspoiled areas. Environmentalists counter that the motivation of increasing income, drives global environmental degradation and that free trade accelerates the process. In addition, people are increasingly becoming concerned and apprehensive about the environmental consequences of globalization opponents from past several years (Copeland and Taylor 2004.)

A number of factors, including access to resources, organisational efficiency, characteristics of a community and its involvement, affect the governance of natural resources like forests. The evidence (both historical and case studies) provided in this chapter shows that forest governance in the state of Odisha lacked tenurial rights for a long time for forest dwellers; this has affected their motivation for conservation and proper use of forest resources on a long-term basis.

Abstract: India is predominantly an agarian economy and more than 70% of its population directly or indirect depends on farming. Indian agriculture is often discussed in relation to the Green Revolution and its mixed record of success and failures. Yet, what most Indian farmers (over 60%) practice is rainfed agriculture, a farming system entirely different to that of irrigated areas. Green revolution technology gains in agricultural productivity and food security were widely associated with irrigated lands, where the benefits of improved seeds and increased use of inorganic fertilizers could be realised. However, there ae now widespread problems associated with the use of chemical fertilisers , mismanagement of surface water and overexploitation of groundwater, the most important source of irrigation (GoI, Economic survey 2008).
