Climate change related emissions have emerged as one of the adverse effects of unsustainable energy use, which poses the challenge of ensuring energy sustainability while accounting for climate change mitigation. In this paper, using the Energy Indicators for Sustainable Development framework, an assessment of GHG emissions trends along with national and international pledges for a set of developed...
The article focuses on important of a low carbon economy development. Developing a low carbon economy as a coordinated social economy development. Energy security and the basic ways to address climate change, has been generally recognized around the world. The development of low-carbon economy, improving the proportion of renewable energy, can effectively reduce primary energy consumption of carbon...
With economic globalization and trade integration, the production and consumption activities of one country may cause environmental changes in other nations. Since China becomes the main trading country and “processing factory” of the world, commodity trade has shown greater impact on domestic carbon emission. By means of input-output approach, the carbon emission embodied in exports of 21 trading...
In recent years, global warming and environmental pollution has become a prominent issue in particular. Domestic and foreign experts in various fields think that changing the growth mode of the industrial economy is the key to solving the problem. The research of corporate social responsibility in conditions of the low-carbon economy is to focus on the theme of corporate social responsibility. I put...
With the constantly changing of global temperatures, the conflict has become increasingly prominent between the limitation of coal, oil, gas and other conventional energy sources and increasing demands. To implement low-carbon economy will become an important strategic choice to dealing with global climate change and achieving sustainable development. So, every country in the world, especially developed...
China is a country with high coal production and consumption. Being the main energy resource of China, coal has provided a reliable energy supply for the sustainable development of the countries national economy. Coal in China has made a great contribution for the national economic development, but it has also caused a negative influence on the ecological environment in China. This paper introduces...
The phenomenon of gradual warming of the planet has occurred for thousands of years, but it has been increasing in the course of the twentieth century due to the high concentrations of gases, which are responsible for the greenhouse effect. Recently, the scientific community has been debating and searching for new sources of renewable energies and the effects of the increasing emissions. Taking these...
Building on the extensive research in Virtual Reality (VR), we are proposing a new dynamic prototype for modelling and simulating carbon emissions in a virtual village called VIRVIL. VIRVIL is a simulated settlement for the assessment of the impact of low and zero carbon technologies and measures in the built environment. The prototype will focus on the impact on the community as a whole, as well...
In view of global warming, the results of which are becoming more and more evident, a modern society is greatly concerned. about such energy consuming field as cement manufacturing, since it is one of the most considerable source of hazardous impact on environment (great CO2 - emissions, energy consumption, exhaustion of natural resources). The paper analyzes current ecological situation in the cement...
Energy is the bedrock of our daily lives and industry. Now is the time that industry, government and academia must join together and examine highly independent, fully environmentally considerate and rational energy systems. In this presentation, recent Japanese policy will be introduced focusing on new national energy strategy. Looking at future technology trends, it is probable that, in the case...
