The document discusses Formula One racing in Singapore. It provides background on the history of Formula One and how Singapore began hosting races in 2008. It then examines the environmental impacts of hosting the Singapore Grand Prix, such as carbon dioxide emissions from the cars, noise pollution, and the lighting system used for night races. The impacts are assessed using a matrix methodology with rankings of the severity for pre-race, during race, and post-race time periods. Key impacts include over 10 tons of CO2 emitted during the race and noise levels that can cause hearing damage.
Presentation of OECD Government at a Glance 2023OECD Governance
Paris, 30 June, 2023
Presentation by Elsa Pilichowski, Director for Public Governance, OECD.
The 2023 edition of Government at a Glance provides a comprehensive overview of public governance and public administration practices in OECD Member and partner countries. It includes indicators on trust in public institutions and satisfaction with public services, as well as evidence on good governance practices in areas such as the policy cycle, budgeting, procurement, infrastructure planning and delivery, regulatory governance, digital government and open government data. Finally, it provides information on what resources public institutions use and how they are managed, including public finances, public employment, and human resources management. Government at a Glance allows for cross-country comparisons and helps identify trends, best practices, and areas for improvement in the public sector.

OECD Green Talks LIVE: Moving the world economy to net zero: the role of tran...OECD Environment
To meet the temperature goals of the Paris Agreement, decarbonisation measures will need to be financed across all sectors of the economy — most importantly in energy-intensive and hard-to-abate sectors in emerging markets and developing economies. As governments and the private sector ramp up their net-zero pledges, grapple with the ongoing energy crisis and face rising inflation, how to achieve those goals is increasingly put into question.
In the midst of these challenges, market actors and jurisdictions have ramped up efforts around transition finance, such as developing taxonomies and guidelines. But transition finance is often criticised for opening the door to greenwashing and risking emission-intensive lock-in. How can we ensure the development of robust corporate transition plans to support credible and meaningful transition investments towards net zero? And how can emission-intensive lock-in and greenwashing be avoided?
Experts on transition finance and transition planning will present and discuss their importance for moving to net-zero pathways in hard-to-abate sectors and emerging markets and developing economies, as well as outstanding challenges in this space. The presentation will draw from the recent report OECD Guidance on Transition Finance: Ensuring Credibility of Corporate Climate Transition Plans (Find the report here: https://oe.cd/transition-fin), which proposes 10 key elements to help corporates in developing transition plans, financiers to identify credible investment opportunities, and policymakers to develop strong policy frameworks.

A Korean approach on green growth by Jung Hwan Kim, Presidential Committee on Green Growth Republic of Korea at Climate Change and Development Roundtable, Ljubljana, Slovenia, May 2011
Shin-Sun Inc. provides construction waste recycling production at unmatched value. Shin-Sun Inc. not only focuses on the Korea territory, but is also serving international companies.
Clean Air Zones- big models for big questionsScott Hamilton
Presented at the Scottish Government Air Quality Conference, January 2018.
The presentation shows the results of applying our RapidAir air quality model to calculating high resolution concentrations of NO2 and PM10 for an area containing all of Scotland's cities and most of its major towns.
If you’re like many Albertans, you’re probably asking yourself some pretty important questions about climate change. The most overdue questions may be about soil not oil. For example:
How can agricultural producers participate in the carbon market?
Will international climate change agreements influence land use activities?
Could more land users be regulated for emissions reduction as seen in the energy sector?
This is the second of a three-part webinar series led by ELC Staff Counsel Adam Driedzic.

26. Excessive Emission of Carbon Dioxide Company Proprietary and Confidential 26
By having event such as F1 race:
• Singapore contributes towards anthropogenic CO2 emission
• Sharp increase in anthropogenic CO2 emission

27. Excessive Emission of Carbon Dioxide Company Proprietary and Confidential 27
When there is a rise in CO2:
• More plants are needed to balance up the whole CO2 cycle
HOWEVER
In hot & dry weather
• The plants pores will be closed
• Prevent the loss of water & photorespiration will take place
28. Excessive Emission of Carbon Dioxide Company Proprietary and Confidential 28
