Digital Governance refers to the implementation and enforcement by governments, organizations and civil society bodies of agreed principles, norms, rules, decision-making processes and activities that influence and shape the Internet – including cybersecurity and inclusion measures. Public participation in this policy area builds trust and contributes to more responsive, effective governance – from improving university…

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is an efficient technology used to reduce CO2 emissions. The process involves extracting climate-warming CO2 from industrial exhaust gases or directly from the atmosphere and safely storing it underground geological formations. Basalt Formations may provide an attractive storage option due to their unique properties. Basalts’ chemical makeup enables CO2 injected…

Electric vehicles are more energy-efficient and emit fewer greenhouse gasses, plus their operation costs less – benefits which many states and utilities provide incentives to encourage. If you are considering purchasing an electric vehicle (EV), carefully weigh all its benefits and drawbacks. Your lifestyle and driving habits could make this choice appropriate for you. They…

Your policy decisions have an effectful influence, whether they relate to renewable energy, carbon emissions reduction or providing employment and training to displaced fossil fuel workers. As part of efforts to combat climate change, global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions must be drastically reduced rapidly – this requires moving away from fossil fuels towards cleaner forms…

Climate change mitigation entails decreasing emissions of heat-trapping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and increasing sinks that absorb them. Reduce our emissions by eliminating unnecessary travel and purchasing secondhand goods. Furthermore, avoid food and electronics that contribute to emissions by cutting consumption. Reducing our use of fossil fuels Fossil fuels are burned for energy production,…

Assembling your company in a mixed-use development can bring many business advantages, including financial, efficiency and exposure benefits. Delaware local governments frequently incorporate mixed-use development plans and codes into their Comprehensive Plans, Zoning Regulations and Subdivision and Development ordinances. Mixed-use developments refer to any projects that combine several functions into one building or area through…

Green buildings help reduce emissions, conserve water and energy resources, reduce construction waste and support responsible supply chains while streamlining compliance documentation. Green buildings may require an upfront investment. But with MONTONI’s help, sustainability is now accessible and cost-effective to all businesses of all types. Energy Efficiency Green buildings play an increasingly significant role in…

Sustainable urban infrastructure allows cities to maximize economic and social success while simultaneously reducing environmental impact. Green features like permeable pavements, green roofs and urban forests increase adaptability of cities to climate change. Amman, Jordan has taken an initiative that employs green stormwater infrastructure to combat flash flooding. Their project uses bio-retention and bio-swale areas…

TOD approaches urban planning and design from an individual-centric viewpoint, creating vibrant walkable neighborhoods with access to public transportation as well as local jobs. TOD promotes dense mixed-use development near transit stations to enhance riders’ experiences of riding while simultaneously increasing economic activity and decreasing traffic congestion. This symbiotic relationship benefits riders, businesses and reduces…

Energy efficiency is a cost-effective solution to reduce energy expenses. It is three or four times less costly than renewables and reduces utility peak loads, thus decreasing investments required in new capacity or transmission lines. Remove electronics that remain connected at all times (e.g. DVD players) and use power strips to reduce “vampire loads”. Reduce…
