Construction IT Research - Climate Change AgendaŽiga Turk
This document discusses the construction industry's role in addressing climate change through information technology research. It presents climate change as one of the key technological challenges and identifies construction as a double winner that can benefit from both climate change adaptations and mitigation policies. The document outlines a research agenda for the construction industry that focuses on improving energy efficiency in existing and new buildings through technologies like building information modeling, intelligent building energy management systems, and design tools that promote passive and zero-emission building standards. It also discusses making building processes and materials more energy efficient. The overarching goal is for the construction industry to contribute significantly to reducing greenhouse gas emissions through technological innovation and information technologies.
TennisonJ_Interdisciplinary Research Paper_Climate Change 13 Mar 16 (Autosaved)Jonathan Tennison
This paper explores climate change from an interdisciplinary perspective using political science, natural science, and economics. While politicians often deny climate change due to funding from fossil fuel industries, the natural science evidence for human-caused climate change is overwhelming. Economics is driving the transition to renewable energy as major banks invest in green technology. An integrated approach is needed to balance economic and social concerns with mitigating climate change.
This document discusses climate change skepticism. It notes that while there is a scientific consensus that climate change is occurring and human-caused, some politicians and citizens in the US deny it. Skeptics argue that climate science is uncertain or that humans do not impact the climate. The document examines some of the reasons for skepticism, such as politicians not wanting to hurt jobs or the economy by reducing emissions. It also looks at scientists funded by groups with interests in denying climate change. Overall, the document argues that understanding the perspectives and motivations behind skepticism is important to have an informed discussion about climate change.
The document provides information on several upcoming climate and sustainability related events, opportunities, and news items. It begins with signs of spring and mentions the White House releasing guidance on incorporating Indigenous Knowledge. It then discusses a UN treaty to protect marine biodiversity, challenges facing farmers from climate change, and examples of companies transitioning to safer alternatives. The rest of the document outlines grant opportunities, conferences, webinars, and workshops on topics like building electrification and disposable foodware. It concludes with several concerning news reports about climate feedback loops, methane leaks, impacts of meat/dairy production, and risks of sea level rise.
This document discusses the importance of transitioning to a green economy in the face of climate change and its impacts. It notes that climate change has resulted in many natural disasters and losses around the world. All countries need to commit to implementing green economic development strategies that use environmentally friendly materials. While international agreements like the Kyoto Protocol have addressed this issue, action and implementation has been weak due to economic interests. A green economy approach is urgently needed and all people have a right and responsibility to preserve the environment.

Impact of Climate Change in the USA: An overview of Federal and State PoliciesCarmenLee205763
Climate change is having widespread impacts across the USA, including increased temperatures, extreme weather, and rising sea levels. The federal Infrastructure Act aims to address climate change through investments in sustainable transportation and clean energy. The US Army also has a strategy to reduce emissions and increase resilience. At the state level, policies like Washington's Clean Fuels Program and Climate Commitment Act are pursuing emissions reductions and sustainable solutions. Additional actions are still needed across sectors to comprehensively address the challenges of climate change.
The document discusses global climate change and initiatives by the U.S. government and other organizations to address it. It notes that in 2001 the U.S. President committed to developing a science-based climate change policy and funding research on technologies to meet the climate challenge. The President also created the Climate Change Research Initiative to study uncertainties and identify investments that could make a difference. Additional sections discuss definitions of climate change, its causes, the role of states and citizens in meeting reduction goals, and calls to action to address it through both domestic and international policies.
This document summarizes a report on climate change that discusses: (1) how climate change poses life-threatening dangers and increasing global temperatures are causing more extreme weather events; (2) efforts by the UN and governments to negotiate new treaties by 2015 to reduce emissions, though developing countries resist restrictions on economic growth; and (3) predictions that the world will warm dangerously without action and failure to limit emissions could lead to severe consequences for humanity and nature.
Climate change is a global problem caused by increased CO2 and other greenhouse gases from human activities like burning fossil fuels and deforestation over the last 100 years. This has led to increased global temperatures and climate change. While some regions may benefit, others will experience serious harmful impacts like more extreme weather, rising sea levels, and impacts on ecosystems. If warming is not limited to 2°C, the costs of these impacts will continue to rise significantly. Although developing countries contribute little to causing climate change, they are often the most vulnerable to its effects. The UN aims to finalize a new global climate agreement in Paris in December 2015 to limit warming through national commitments, but some major countries still need to strengthen their pledges to

This document discusses putting an economic value on natural resources and the environment to help protect them. It notes that some International Monetary Fund economists have studied how whales remove carbon from the atmosphere. It aims to shift the debate around environmental activism from emissions to biodiversity and assigning monetary values to natural capital. For example, it estimates the cost to save 30-50% of the planet's species at $600-820 billion annually. Assigning financial values could help find consensus on environmental issues as discussions on biodiversity tend to be less politically polarized than climate change.
This document discusses putting an economic value on natural resources and the environment to help protect them. It notes that some International Monetary Fund economists have studied how whales remove carbon from the atmosphere. It aims to quantify the economic contribution of natural areas by estimating their value in capturing carbon and depending on them for economic activity. Assigning dollar amounts to nature is controversial but felt necessary to show people value it beyond having a price.
California has a significant ecological deficit, using over five times as much biocapacity as is available within the state. Carbon emissions account for 73% of California's footprint. While California's per capita footprint is lower than the national average, its biocapacity per person is much lower due to its high population density and dry climate. Even though California has productive agriculture, fishing, and forestry, most of the biocapacity from these sectors is exported, while the products consumed are largely imported.
The document discusses the Green Climate Fund's (GCF) accreditation of seven entities to channel funds for climate projects. The GCF aims to accumulate $100 billion by 2020, but has so far only received $104 million of the $10.2 billion pledged. The accredited entities include development banks and UN agencies.

The newsletter provides updates on climate policy and funding opportunities, technologies, and discussions. It highlights California's Adaptation Planning Grant Program and opportunities to comment on regional resilience grants. It also summarizes a roadmap for the US to meet clean energy goals by 2035, the US transportation decarbonization blueprint, and Al Gore's speech calling for urgent climate action. Other articles discuss effective climate communication strategies, negative emissions technologies, India's role in the climate crisis, top climate tech trends for 2023, reactions to the US climate plan, and the EU's Green Deal industrial plan.
The document discusses Australia's Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme (CPRS). The CPRS aims to address the negative externality of carbon pollution by capping emissions and requiring credits to emit carbon. It establishes a market-based approach to reducing emissions while still allowing economic growth. The CPRS is part of Australia's three-pronged strategy to reduce emissions, adapt to unavoidable climate change, and participate in global climate solutions.
The document discusses putting a monetary value on natural resources and biodiversity in order to gain political and social support for environmental protection. It describes how the International Monetary Fund has begun studying the economic impact of whales and their role in carbon sequestration. Assigning dollar amounts to natural capital like forests and their carbon absorption is advocated as a way to demonstrate the economic costs of environmental destruction and benefits of conservation to policymakers. Estimates suggest $600-820 billion annually could prevent the loss of 30-50% of global species by 2050. Framing discussions around biodiversity instead of only climate change may enable greater political consensus on green issues.

The document discusses Brazil's biofuels industry and related environmental concerns. It notes that Brazil has significantly reduced deforestation rates in the Amazon while expanding sugarcane ethanol production. Some critics argue that increased biofuels production could lead to environmental destruction, but supporters note Brazil has doubled ethanol output without damaging food production or forests by using degraded pasturelands. Debate continues around the industry's sustainability and impacts.

The Precautionary Principle
You have probably taken many precautions today. You may have buckled your seat belt, eaten a healthy
breakfast, driven the speed limit, or bought some organic produce. However, you may have taken some
intentional risks as well. Perhaps you had that second helping of bacon or said yes to skydiving this weekend.
In some cases, we do things to avoid risk, and at other times, we decide to take on an additional risk for some
real or perceived benefit. We balance the level of risk we decide we can tolerate from an activity with the
personal benefit we anticipate receiving from it. As a society, we have to make policy for a large number of
people with different tolerances for risk and different perspectives on the benefits of taking those risks.
Policy makers can use the precautionary principle to guide the decision-making process when the risks of a
particular action must be weighed against the benefits. Although there are many versions of the precautionary
principle, the Wingspread Statement on the Precautionary Principle is commonly cited. It states, “when an
activity raises threats of harm to human health or the environment, precautionary measures should be taken
even if some cause and effect relationships are not fully established scientifically” (Adler, 2011/2016, p. 21).
It may seem obvious that precautions should be taken in the face of risk to health or the environment;
therefore, the question is not whether or not to take precautions at all. Instead, the question is whether or not
the precautionary principle itself is needed and whether it may actually be detrimental to the very things it is
meant to protect.
In the reading for Unit I, Jonathan Adler’s position is that, although precautionary measures should be taken
when there is uncertainty regarding risks to public health and the environment, the precautionary principle
should not be used to guide policy. Adler believes that the broad application of the precautionary principle
could do more harm than good, stall technological progress, and even make us less safe than we would be
without it (Adler, 2011/2016). U ...
The committee discusses environmental refugees in Brazil. Deforestation and natural disasters have displaced thousands in Brazil. The Brazilian government has established organizations to aid and resettle refugees within Brazil through education, healthcare, and job training programs. Internationally, Brazil works with other countries to assist refugees, funding projects in Ecuador for refugees and signing agreements to aid integration. Through protected areas and reduced deforestation, Brazil has decreased environmental refugees from 3.4 million in the 1960s-1980s to many seeking refuge in Brazil currently. The newly elected president promises to continue aiding refugees and environmental protection.

This will require collaborative action among developed, developing and emerging markets to reduce annual global emissions from 60 GtCO2e to less than 30 GtCO2e in the coming decades. In the light of these events, the most accepted way to deal with the threat of climate change posed by increased CO2 and other greenhouse gasses emissions in the atmosphere is to move over time to a Low-Carbon Economy; This essay aims to shed some light on what is really a very complicated subject. The use of different instruments and capabilities for adaptation and mitigation and how best to adapt and remain resilient to changes. Approaches that promote the use of market instruments may offer valuable ways to induce feasible climate change management at the same time that such mechanisms may avoid stifling economic activities and ensure sustainability over time.

This document discusses fairness and equity implications of innovative climate governance mechanisms in Brazil. It analyzes the Green Municipalities Program, which provides incentives for sustainable development at the local level. The program aims to address fairness and may have influenced Brazil's intended emissions reduction commitments presented at COP21 in Paris. The program incorporates concepts of shared responsibility and ethical issues into Brazil's climate policies and shows how governance can involve partnerships across levels of government to implement global standards locally.

as well as on the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) defined in Article 12 of the Kyoto Protocol to the
UNFCCC ratified by the National Congress through Legislative Decree n 1, February 3, 1994. The FBMC was
created to assists the GoB in the incorporation of questions on climate change at different stages of public policy
(FBMC, 2015). The Federative Republic of Brazil is divided into 26 states, 5,565 municipalities and the Federal
District, where the capital of the Republic, Brasília, seat of the government and the Executive, Legislative and
Judicial Branches, is located (IBGE, 2015). At the subnational level, 12 out of the 27 Brazilian federative units
have already sanctioned laws that establish statelevel climate change policies and four state legislatures are
considering bills that are under discussion with civil society (Climate Forum, 2012, p10p11). According to the
Climate Forum, most of the statelevel policies now in effect do not establish ghg emission reduction targets –
exceptions are the states of São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Paraíba. The state of São Paulo established an absolute
target of reducing ghg emissions by 20% by 2020, compared to 2005, while the state of Paraíba set the same
target as the federal government: reducing ghg emissions projected by 36.1% – 38.9% by 2020 (Climate Forum,
2012, p10p14). The state of Rio de Janeiro established an emission intensity (tCO2e/GDP) target in 2030
equivalent to the intensity observed in 2005, and has also established reduction targets, for specific sectors,
ranging from 30 to 65% (see State Decree 43,216/2011), while eight Brazilian federative units have its goals under
discussion, and another 3 federative units have shown intentions to reduce or at least stabilize its ghg emissions
(Climate Forum, 2012, p15).
11. What recommendations would you make to get the nation or civil society to take ethics and
justice issues seriously in climate change policy formulation?
The GoB believes its actions demonstrates how the national commitment on reducing ghg emissions (INDCs) are
quantitatively linked to an atmospheric 2 degrees warming limit, somehow representing what Brazil considers to
be its fair share of safe global emissions. However, it seems Brazil has been promoting ethical arguments to forge
moral leadership on climate change, since the actions provided for its INDC are not dependent on external
support. However, recognizing the success of initiatives such as the Amazon Fund, Brazil also foresees
international support for the implementation of its INDC while it recognizes the importance of SouthSouth
cooperation in the global effort of combating climate change and expansion of commercial trade. A relevant aspect
of this position is that Brazil as a transitional economy could provide insights into governance systems in the
developing world, once Brazil´s actions could influence the policymaking in other emerging nations (Kesselman
et al., 2015, p399). As affirms Kelman (2015, p7) the blame game is further relevant in terms of determining the
issues for which blame should be apportioned and it is specially relevant to Brazil. After all, the Climate
Convention reflects the recognition that the relative contribution of emerging countries to global ghg emissions
will grow to meet their social and development needs. In other words, Brazil´s ambitions, moving from a
defensive position to an aggressive strategy, delivered by actions and based on achieved results, apparently, has
demonstrated international leadership on environmental issues, notwithstanding time is still needed to observe if
speeches and promises, as it has marked Brazil´s presence in international negotiations, will reflect in tangible
results. Brazil´s International recognition may still have to be earned rather than being taken for granted.
