Digital governance encompasses many different facets of an organization’s online presence. This can include making sure accessibility and privacy requirements are being met as well as complying with relevant legislation (such as ADA/HIPAA in medical institutions). Digital governance must be treated seriously within an organization’s culture, led by leaders who take it seriously and support…

Community engagement can be an extremely effective strategy for businesses and communities alike, offering two-way dialogue, breaking down barriers, and showing genuine dedication to stakeholders’ well-being. However, it’s essential to realize that different industries, professions, organizations, and business units within an organisation all have different definitions of community engagement that could create tensions within an…

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology aims to prevent CO2 from being released into the atmosphere from power plants or industrial processes, making an essential contribution towards mitigating climate change mitigation strategies. To accomplish this goal, the most prevalent method involves using chemical solvents to separate CO2 from air and then injecting the captured gas…

Electric vehicles offer an eco-friendly alternative to their fuel-based counterparts, emitting much less carbon dioxide and other emissions compared to their gasoline-powered counterparts. Furthermore, EVs require fewer moving parts and cost less in maintenance costs. However, some consumers may be put off from purchasing an electric vehicle due to its high upfront cost and limited…

Climate change mitigation strategies seek to decrease emissions that contribute to global warming by harnessing new technologies and renewable energies, making older equipment more energy-efficient, or changing management practices and consumer behavior. NRCS offers an array of voluntary conservation practices and enhancements that can aid climate change mitigation efforts by decreasing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions…

Energy decisions made today by policymakers will have long-term ramifications on our nation. They must balance short-term goals such as low costs to promote economic growth with long-term objectives such as social equity and environmental protection. Oil drilling, coal mining, and renewable energy production all have real environmental consequences, which must be balanced against new…

Green buildings have become an integral component of global architecture, employing many sustainable strategies such as using recycled and local materials, conserving water usage, conserving energy through energy efficiency measures such as rapid renewables and waste management services, indoor air quality improvements through natural ventilation and daylighting strategies and construction waste disposal management services.

Mixed-use development brings residential, commercial and cultural functions together into a single building or district to foster interaction and create community. It provides diverse spaces that promote interaction between residents. Communities that incorporate mixed-use developments can increase access to everyday destinations, support small businesses, and offer housing options at different price points. 1. Attracts a…

Sustainable urban infrastructure research is an evolving field of engineering research that draws inspiration from social and environmental sciences as well as governance systems for facilities and utilities that function sustainably. Porous surfaces such as streets, roads and parking lots absorb rainwater quickly and replenish underground water sources; while tree-lined streets and parks reduce noise…

Transit-oriented development (TOD) refers to medium to high density residential, commercial, or mixed use neighborhoods surrounding new or upgraded transit stations that facilitate vibrant communities while contributing to regional economic competitiveness. TOD provides residents, businesses and visitors the chance to live a higher-quality life without being solely reliant on cars, while contributing to meeting equity…
