Centralised approaches to digital governance generally implement overarching policies and standards across organizational departments; however, they may not…

Electric vehicles (EVs) boast zero tailpipe emissions, making them great tools to improve air quality and decrease noise pollution while helping combat climate change by decreasing fossil fuel use. Electric vehicles are exceptionally quiet, enabling families to chat without interruption while enjoying their commutes without distraction. Furthermore, their smooth acceleration offers smoother rides for all…

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) has become an essential tool in fighting climate change, being part of most mitigation plans that aim to limit warming to 1.5 degrees C or below. CCS deployment plays a central role in these mitigation scenarios. Process Description: CO2 capture and storage involves collecting CO2 from the atmosphere or large…

Energy policies guide decisions about the production and consumption of energy, from taxes and regulation (such as building energy codes ) to subsidies and incentives. Fossil fuel consumption and carbon emissions must be drastically decreased rapidly for nations to break free from oil and gas import dependencies, stimulate economic growth, and alleviate poverty. The United…

As with a leaky boat, climate change mitigation attempts to address its source by reducing emissions and strengthening carbon sinks to remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. Mitigating strategies typically revolve around cutting energy use and switching to cleaner forms of power, as well as encouraging sustainable lifestyle choices such as using public transport or…

Green buildings are designed, constructed, renovated and operated to be resource efficient – they minimize environmental impact while increasing biodiversity and producing their own energy for consumption by the building as a means of mitigating urban heat island effects. Green building may be more expensive than conventional construction, but tax incentives can help mitigate costs.…

Mixed-use development is a popular real estate strategy that integrates commercial, office, residential and cultural elements. These developments tend to be located in high traffic or walkable areas and meet an array of consumer needs. Local governments gain from increased economic growth and sales tax revenue generated by these projects, as well as residents saving…

Sustainable urban infrastructure refers to the creation and management of infrastructure which is environmentally, socially, and economically sustainable – also known as green infrastructure (GI). Utilising nature-based infrastructure offers cities significant value by providing services, mitigating climate impacts costs and creating benefits for citizens. It is an affordable, effective means of building healthier cities. Recyclable…
