“…These grasslands serve multiple functions, including the local provision of fodder for animal husbandry (and hence high-quality food provision for people), biodiversity conservation, carbon storage and the provision of ‘traditional’ landscapes that European citizens appreciate for recreational purposes and cultural heritage. …”

“…But while SEFOR was hailed as a breakthrough in nuclear safety, Havens and Geren's examination of the project, including the partial SCRAM that occurred in late 1970, confirms experts' concerns regarding the limits of the Doppler effect and presents a compelling argument for caution in adopting fast reactors like SEFOR to reduce carbon emissions…”

“…This Special Issue collects current studies about the progress in the development, characterization, and application of nanoporous materials, including (but not restricted to) mesoporous silica, carbon and metal oxides, porous coordination polymers, metal organic frameworks (MOFs), and covalent organic frameworks (COFs), as well as materials exhibiting hierarchical porosity. …”

“…Outside of its largely low-carbon power sector, managing the economy’s energy intensity and greenhouse gas emissions while still remaining competitive and growing remains a challenge The IEA review highlights the areas that are critical to the success of the energy policy agenda in New Zealand To support sustainable growth in line with the Paris Agreement, the government should facilitate technology opportunities for renewable energy and energy efficiency, in buildings, industrial heat, transport and agriculture The government has ambitious plans to boost the share of electric vehicles and renewable energy. …”

“…Ce travail sera complété par une analyse générale des mesures d’adaptation à l’échelle de l’ensemble du secteur privé, à partir des réponses au questionnaire du Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) de 2009. Les études de cas contiennent des éléments sur le niveau de sensibilisation des entreprises aux risques et aux points de vulnérabilité potentiels au changement climatique, sur les progrès qu’elles ont pu accomplir dans l’évaluation des incidences spécifiques à leur activité du changement climatique et des réponses possibles, et sur les mesures et les stratégies d’adaptation qu’elles ont mises en oeuvre pour maîtriser ces risques. …”

“…It will provide decision makers a means of quantifying the effects of local patterns of sea level rise, heat uptake, carbon storage and change of oxygen content and pH in the ocean. …”

“…Adding to these burdens, emissions of carbon dioxide are of concern to the Chinese government as it embarks on its own climate protection strategy. …”

“…In the last few decades, organic materials (or carbon-based materials in a broad sense), including polymers, have received much attention for their potential applications in electronics, because they have outstanding advantages such as high processibility, mechanical flexibility, and low weight. …”

“…It also examines recent campaigns that seem to have fizzled, like Occupy Wall Street, and those that continue to struggle, like gun violence prevention and carbon emissions reduction. And it explores implications for movements that are newly emerging, like Black Lives Matter. …”

“…The technology produces high-purity methane, which can be considered—by using green energy and carbon dioxide of biological origin—as a Renewable Natural Gas, or RNG. …”

“…These include provisioning services such as fuelwood and food, regulating services such as carbon sequestration and wave attenuation, and various tangible and intangible cultural services. …”

“…Hydropower offers significant potential for carbon emissions reductions. The installed capacity of hydropower by the end of 2008 contributed 16% of worldwide electricity supply, and hydropower remains the largest source of renewable energy in the electricity sector. …”

“…The rapid increase of cloud computing, high performance computing (HPC) and the vast growth in Internet and Social Media use have aroused the interest in energy consumption and the carbon footprint of Data Centres. Data Centres primarily contain electronic equipment used for data processing (servers), data storage (storage equipment), and communications (network equipment). …”

“…En el norte de Palencia, coincidente con la llamada Montaña Palentina, la minería del carbón jugaba un papel determinante. El minero o el obrero mixto constituían la base social y política de los convulsos años treinta del siglo pasado, con un estilo de vida peculiar y unas duras condiciones de vida que marcaban un rumbo de transformación social y un voto decantado hacia el socialismo. …”
