The University of Hull has over 18,000 students and 2,500 staff across its main and satellite campuses. It aims to reduce its carbon emissions by 34% by 2020 and 80% by 2050 relative to 1990 levels in line with UK climate targets. Installing automatic meter reading and flow reduction devices in student residence hall showers could save on water, energy, and emissions; and pay for themselves within a few years due to avoided costs under the UK's Carbon Reduction Commitment policy. The university holds energy saving competitions between residence halls to reduce consumption by 10%.

Denmark has implemented various environmental taxes across several sectors. Taxes are levied on motor fuels, carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide emissions, annual motor vehicle usage, water usage and delivery, waste disposal, pesticides, aggregates, packaging and batteries. Revenue is generally allocated to the country's general budget, but is also sometimes earmarked for environmental protection and restoration projects. Notably, Denmark has shifted some tax burden from income to environmental taxes, reallocating over 2% of total tax revenue through taxes on electricity, water, waste, vehicles and carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide emissions.

Presentation at The Future of Wetlands - 40 Years of Global Wetland ConservationInternational Conference,25 Oct 2011, Finlandia Hall, Helsinki, Finland
This presentation discusses strategies for reducing carbon emissions and transitioning to more sustainable energy sources in Nottinghamshire, England. The presentation outlines the big picture of climate change and energy security challenges. It then discusses some local transition initiatives that have been implemented. Finally, it proposes several missions and projects for the Nottinghamshire Climate Change Partnership to undertake, such as implementing sustainable energy programs in the third sector, engaging local leaders, retrofitting community buildings, promoting microgeneration technologies, and pursuing a goal of making all homes near carbon neutral by 2050.
The document provides an environmental impact assessment for the proposed rehabilitation of the Liberia Petroleum Refinery Company. It identifies key issues raised during stakeholder consultations, including concerns about the current site location, waste management, oil spills, air quality, and community benefits. It describes the project, which involves rehabilitating storage tanks and installing new pipelines, tanks, loading racks, and other infrastructure. Specialist studies were conducted on visual impacts, air quality, waste management, water resources, flora and fauna, and socioeconomic impacts. The document recommends applying international standards to storage tanks and piping systems to improve integrity and safety. It also recommends remediation measures, installing sprinklers and firefighting equipment, and re
This document summarizes several methods for mitigating carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, including pre-combustion and post-combustion carbon capture techniques using amine solvents. It also discusses using dendritic fibrous nanosilica functionalized with amines as solid sorbents for CO2 capture. Additionally, the document examines using photocatalytic processes to convert CO2 and water into hydrocarbon fuels using sunlight. Finally, it proposes directly capturing airborne CO2 and converting it to methanol using a homogeneous catalyst system with pentaethylenehexamine.
This document discusses the concept of a low carbon economy and why it is becoming more relevant, using Indonesia as a case study. It outlines that climate change is causing economic losses and that limiting global warming requires economic policies focused on stabilizing greenhouse gas emissions. Indonesia is highly vulnerable to climate change impacts and is a significant emitter of greenhouse gases. Indonesia's approach involves mainstreaming adaptation and mitigation policies, taking advantage of global efforts and climate finance, and incentivizing shifts to renewable energy and low carbon development through policies like carbon pricing. The document analyzes Indonesia's emission reduction targets and sectoral strategies around forestry, energy, and transportation.

This presentation prepared by Yarra Valley Water provides an introduction to the Trade waste system, how trade waste prices are determined and changes to parameters and pricing.
The document summarizes cooperation on the Danube River basin across 19 countries and over 800,000 square kilometers. It discusses the establishment of organizations like the International Commission for the Protection of the Danube River to coordinate management, implementation of the EU Water Framework Directive, and progress toward goals of reducing water pollution and improving habitat. Key challenges include upgrading wastewater infrastructure, reducing nutrient loads from agricultural and industrial sources, and addressing hydrological alterations from dams and flood control.
This document discusses the role and relevance of the polluter-pays principle (PPP) in implementing the Water Framework Directive (WFD) in the agricultural sector. It notes that agriculture is a major cause of diffuse water pollution across Europe. The PPP is a guiding principle of the WFD, but its application to agriculture depends on whether agricultural activities are considered water services or water uses. The traditional view treats meeting standards of "good farming practice" as satisfying the PPP, but the WFD may require redefining these standards and allocating more costs to agriculture. Further discussion is needed on adapting practices, determining the financial burden on the sector, and developing financing mechanisms to achieve WFD objectives
The document summarizes a river restoration project along the Emscher River in Germany that took place over 30 years from 1990 to 2020. The river and its tributaries were reconverted from modified open waste channels with concrete beds to more natural streams. As part of assessing the impact of the restoration, ecosystem services were evaluated for eight sections along tributary streams. The restoration improved water quality and habitat by separating wastewater and surface water infrastructure and restoring stream morphology. This reduced pressures and improved ecological conditions. Beneficiaries of the increased ecosystem services included residents through reduced flooding risks, opportunities for recreation, and appreciation of the restored areas. Quantitative results found that the restoration enhanced nutrient retention, carbon storage, and compliance with flood protection standards, avoiding
The document outlines a plan for the Bay Area Climate Change Partnership called the Regional Economic and Environmental Prosperity (REaEP) initiative. The goals of the initiative are to establish the Bay Area as a global center for clean technology and a carbon-constrained economy, reform transportation to reduce emissions, and achieve regional greenhouse gas reduction targets. Key priorities include setting emissions reduction targets, increasing transit ridership, promoting clean transportation and sustainable land use, and influencing policy around climate change adaptation. The initiative would implement these priorities through investments, infrastructure, and innovations to foster a sustainable regional economy.
The document discusses the University of Hull's efforts to reduce carbon emissions through the Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC) program. It notes that the university has set targets to reduce CO2 emissions 34% by 2020 and 80% by 2050 from 1990 levels. It then provides an example of how installing low-flow shower heads in student residences could save on water, energy, and emissions and pay for itself within a few years due to savings from reduced CRC costs. By reducing shower water flow from 12 liters/minute to 6 liters/minute across 288 rooms, the university could save over 400,000 liters of water annually and reduce emissions by 0.46% of its total footprint.
This document discusses aligning objectives across partners in a catchment partnership. It describes using ecosystem services planning and prioritization tools to map partner objectives to the Water Framework Directive. This helps objectives be more aligned, measurable, and evidence-based. It discusses delivering multiple benefits through catchment works. The Ribble Catchment Partnership developed a process to scope actions, prioritize locations, and identify funding sources to galvanize objectives into action through its Ribble Life Together program.
The document discusses Rotterdam's efforts to transition away from petrochemicals and become a more sustainable city through large investments in projects focused on carbon reduction, renewable energy, clean technology, and efficiency in areas like transportation, materials use, and water management in order to meet targets of 50% carbon reduction by 2025 through public-private partnerships investing billions of euros. Key projects highlighted include carbon capture and storage, bioport development, district heating infrastructure, and an innovation cluster called Clean Tech Delta.

Market based incentives to drive circularityStephen Hinton
This document provides an overview of market-based instruments for advancing the circular economy. It describes how the economy can be viewed as a set of bathtubs with money flowing between citizens, enterprises, government and municipalities. Various types of market incentives are discussed, including subsidies, taxes, fees and trading schemes. The document emphasizes that instruments work best when implemented holistically to address market failures and incentivize circular products and services while ensuring a just transition. Upstream levies on extraction and imports are recommended, and research is needed on indicators to measure the effects of these market-based approaches to circularity.
This document discusses the need to shift from a "culture of fear" to a "culture of safety and sufficiency" in order to address issues like climate change and economic instability. It proposes focusing on local economies through the "Five P's" - Place, People, Products, Projects, and Payment systems. This approach aims to change the underlying narratives that fuel negative cultures based on scarcity, competition, and powerlessness. Local initiatives bringing people together around food, skills sharing, and celebration can help combine aspects of a "danger culture" focused on risk with a "peace culture" focused on community and positivity.

The economy as bathtub: a simple explanationStephen Hinton
The document presents an analogy that conceptualizes the economy as a system of circulating money between citizens, enterprises, governments, local authorities, and banks. It describes how money is added to the system through bank loans for things like houses and cars. However, it notes that much debt has accumulated as people have borrowed more than they can repay. It then discusses potential ways to tackle unemployment, such as citizens spending more or implementing incentives for more hiring, but acknowledges there are many objections to consider regarding actual implementation.

Flexible fees from a strategic sustainability perspectiveStephen Hinton
This document discusses strategic sustainable development and flexible fees from The Natural Step framework. It proposes that flexible fees, when combined with robust sustainability principles, can help accelerate the transition to sustainability by providing both incentives and funding. However, further exploration is needed regarding assumptions, objectives beyond resource flows, and policy landscape improvements. The Natural Step framework takes a systems perspective and provides a unifying structure to guide strategic planning and indicator development from local to global scales.

18. SYSTEM: The commericial and social system’s use of polluting
substances
BEHAVIOUR DESIRED: That market forces act to transition technical
infrastructure, management and praxis so emissions
reach a reasonable, acceptable level.
SENSORS: Economic indicators of sales of clean tech, sales of
pollutant-bearing substances, financial indicators of e.g.
futures contracts and technilca indicators on emissions.
FEEDBACK: Figures are collated and fed to expert committee.
ACTUATORS: The regular import/extraction fee that is adjusted to
ensure behaviour of system.
19. Flexible emission control fees are tariffs imposed by authorities
on the import or extraction of specific substances.
The purpose of the mechanism is to control the rate of phase
out to keep both socio-economic and ecological stress to the
minimum necessary.
The level of fee imposed is flexible, i.e. adjusted regularly,
based on information from a monitoring function of
market behavior including the rate of abatement compared to
phase-out goals and other factors.
The mechanism includes economic feedback, returning fees
collected to the economy via dividends or other routes.
The adjustments, together with the dividend comprise
a control mechanism that ensures the transition to an
economic and safe use of the substance in the societal system.
