Environmental ratification moves

For over 60 years, International Environmental Law has produced hundreds of texts aimed at protecting the environment at global to regional scales. Most of these texts do not gather the support of all the states concerned. The reasons for this are analysed here. This retrospective look provides a striking panorama of the current situation. The international and domestic motivations that lead a state to the sovereign decision to ratify or not a treaty, are first recalled and put into perspective in their interdependencies. The analysis of thousands of ratifications of 51 major treaties draws lines of divergence between leading states, follower states, and states reluctant to enter into environmental commitments. On a global scale the latter form a large majority, including most African and Asian states. The states of Northern and Western Europe are among the first to ratify these treaties, followed by other European states. G7 member states occupy vey contrasting normative positions. Overall, three major moves emerge from this global panorama. First, historical and persistent inequalities in the development of countries have cast an indelible shadow on environmental international multilateral treaties which do not bring the expected fruits of development. Second, in environmental matters, over the past 15 years the trend consists in establishing agreements of more restricted range (regional, bilateral), with commitments from states on fairly flexible objectives, adaptable to their social and economic context. Third, these agreements are set within the broadly negotiated and thematically inclusive principles of sustainable development.

CRITIC-TOPSIS Method

The increasing demand for electricity has driven the development of hybrid renewable energy systems (HRES) in developing countries and remote areas. HRES combines various renewable energy sources to overcome the limitations of each source by utilizing their respective strengths. Although HRES has advantages such as flexibility and low pollution, the development of renewable energy needs to consider environmental impacts and principles of sustainable development. This study aims to find the optimal configuration of a hybrid renewable energy system in the new capital region of Indonesia, namely IKN Nusantara in East Kalimantan province. We conducted a geospatial approach and literature review to gather relevant information, such as solar radiation data, hydropower potential, and biomass potential. We utilized the hybrid optimization model for electric renewables (HOMER) software to design the HRES, and we optimized the results using the multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method. The experimental results show that the combination of PV and hydro is the optimal configuration in terms of energy and environmental aspects, with a relative closeness value of 0.675 compared to the ideal solution. Therefore, the implementation of MCDM to evaluate and determine the best configuration of HRES in the IKN Nusantara region is worth considering for further research and development.

Modified Cellulose-Based Waste for Enhanced Adsorption of Selected Heavy Metals from Wastewater.

Due to industrial growth and its impact on the environment, the increasing amount of industrial waste requires a comprehensive approach aligned with the principles of sustainable development. The main goals are not only to preserve natural resources but also to encourage innovation in the reuse of waste materials. In an attempt to reduce the problems regarding waste disposal and wastewater treatment in the textile industry, fibrous textile waste was used as a starting material to obtain carbon adsorbents for the removal of pollutants from wastewater. Waste cotton and mixed yarns, mainly consisting of polysaccharide cellulose, were hydrothermally carbonized and activated with KOH to convert them into efficient carbon adsorbents for heavy metal removal from water. Characterization of carbonized material showed that after activation, an increase in specific surface area (up to 872 m2/g) and content of surface oxygen groups (6.04 mmol/g) leads to a higher affinity towards heavy metal ions, especially lead ions, and high adsorption capacity of 19.98 mg/g obtained for activated cotton yarns. The results of this research represent a contribution to the reduction of waste materials by modifying them into adsorbents, while the regeneration of adsorbents is an example of the practical application of polysaccharide-based materials in the purification of wastewater containing various heavy metal ions.

Action Plans Study: Principles of Green Chemistry, Sustainable Development, and Smart Cities

The sustainability of cities is a challenge due to the growth, functioning, and needs of the population. In this context, the concept of the smart city has gained prominence worldwide in the last decades. In Brazil, it has also drawn attention driven by technological advances and the search for innovative solutions to urban challenges. Several different reports were created aiming to assess and categorize the advancement of cities in this regard. Some of them established their own indicators for this evaluation, whereas others are based on standards ISO 37120 and ISO 37122. The focus of this study revolves around the examination of indicators presently utilized, which may be influenced by initiatives grounded in the principles of green chemistry (PGCs). Furthermore, it explores how these principles can aid in the realization of the targets outlined in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set forth by the United Nations. Two case studies are presented, the first pointing out how PGCs and SDGs can correlate with smart city reporting indicators. The second is a case study centered on the Brazilian city of Curitiba (PR). We aim to exemplify how the city’s action plans underscore the significance of synergy among the principles of green chemistry, the objectives of sustainable development, and indicators for smart cities. Assessing how chemically green a city can be is a relevant argument for future industrial installations and stakeholders and the influence of this index on the quality of life of its population. Such an approach not only fosters innovation and efficiency but also fosters environmental stewardship, thus contributing to overall sustainability.

AHP-CRITIC-TOPSIS-based analysis of the influence of young people’s preferences on the design of Funan wicker home products

Wicker home products, handcrafted from sustainable materials such as willow, vine, and bamboo, embody principles of sustainable development. However, they face a lack of clear appeal among young consumers in the Chinese market. This study utilizes the AHP-CRITIC-TOPSIS method to examine user preferences for Funan Wicker home products to enhance the original products based on young users’ choices in the contemporary era. Using the AHP method, 14 evaluation indicators were selected across three key factors and determined subjective weights. Objective weights were calculated using the CRITIC method to establish a comprehensive ranking. Subsequently, the TOPSIS method was employed to evaluate and order the nine design alternatives. The findings highlight a strong emphasis on emotional criteria in the evaluation process, with variables such as Weaving Fineness, Stress Release, Pleasure, and Cultural Value significantly influencing user preference. According to the calculations, the program IX with the highest proximity emerged as the optimal choice. Based on these results, the study refines design focus and quantitative indexes for willow home product designers, proposing innovative design methods that offer theoretical support and practical guidance for the development of willow products in Funan, China.

Effective hydrogen production and coupling degradation of organics (4-nitrophenol, methylene blue, and Rhodamine B) in wastewater by electrospun PAN@Fe0 composite nanofibers

The pursuit of clean energy generation and environmental preservation is of utmost importance for societal progress. However, couple clean energy production and pollution control is still a difficulty. In this study, a novel electrospun composite mat, with nano zero valent iron (Fe0, nZVI) encapsulated into polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibers was acted as a catalyst. The activation energy (Ea) for the hydrolysis of NaBH4 to produce hydrogen is 22 kJ·mol−1, hydrogen atom utilization efficiency (HGE) of NaBH4 is 60.80%. Three kinds of organic dyes 4-nitrophenol (4-NP), methylene blue (MB), and Rhodamine B (RhB) were served as the model pollutant, to construct NaBH4-organic system for energy production and pollution reduction. The NaBH4-organic system demonstrates a collaborative capability to simultaneously remove organic pollutants and generate hydrogen, with a coupling equilibrium point between the two processes. The hydrogen generation rate (HGR) and HGE increased with the concentration of pollutants increased. The degradation of 4-NP, MB, and RhB followed pseudo-first-order kinetics, with RhB degrading dosage 20 and 44 times higher than 4-NP and MB, respectively. H2 and H· contributed to the organic degradation. nZVI directly participated in the formation H2 and H·. PAN@Fe0 possessed good recyclability and moderate cost. The degradation process adhered to the classical surface reaction controlled Langmuir-Hinshelwood (L-H) model. The integration of synergistic production capacity and pollutant degradation aligns well with the principles of green chemistry and sustainable development. This study demonstrates a novel approach to no precursor loss catalysts preparation, efficient production clean H2, advanced treatment of dye-containing wastewater, carbon neutral operation of sewage treatment plant.

Cost-effective walnut shell biosorbent for efficient Cr(VI) removal from water: Batch adsorption and optimization using RSM-BBD

The conversion or recycling of waste materials into usable products is a sustainable and ecologically benign strategy, aligning with sustainable development and circular economy principles. This study presents a straightforward and cost-effective method for transforming walnut shells, commonly found in agricultural waste, into a biosorbent material highly effective in eliminating hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) from water. The prepared material underwent several analyses to determine its physical characteristics and surface chemistry, revealing an amorphous structure similar to lignocellulosic materials. Using Response Surface Methodology (RSM-BBD), we accurately forecasted and optimized the Cr(VI) adsorption process, evaluating and enhancing factors such as pH, biosorbent dosage, pollutant concentration, and adsorption time. Significant enhancement in the removal percentage (%R) was achieved, reaching 100 % after optimization. The RSM-BBD model provided high-quality prediction for data fitting (R² = 0.999). Various kinetic models, including PFO, PSO, and IPD models, were employed, with the PSO model providing the best depiction of adsorption. Equilibrium data analysis using the Langmuir, Freundlich, Redlich-Peterson and Temkin models revealed that the Freundlich model and R-P better fit the adsorption isotherm of Cr(VI) on treated walnut shell (WST). Furthermore, examination of Gibbs free energy and enthalpy indicated that the adsorption of Cr(VI) onto walnut shells is a spontaneous and exothermic reaction, resulting in the release of thermal energy.

Development of Test Methods in the Process of Electrically Conductive Concrete Production

Abstract Prevention of climate change, implementation of sustainable development principles in building industry, creation of Green buildings, Three-zero buildings (zero energy, zero emissions, zero waste), energy independent buildings maybe on the base of Smart Concrete. Electrically Conductive Concrete as type of Smart Concrete have the possibilities to create multifunctional hybrid structures for various purposes. The production of electrically conductive concrete is usually based on the introduction of carbon materials and carbon nanomaterials (CNMs) as electrically conductive fillers into its concrete composition. The theory of conductive percolation is used for design of electrically conductive concrete. To select electrically conductive carbon filler, it is necessary to summarize their electrically conductive characteristics. Today, there is no standard for determining the electrical conductivity of carbon fillers, nor is there a method for designing the composition of electrically conductive concrete; the development of both is imperative. Features of the preparation of electrically conductive concrete with hydrophobic carbon nanoparticles prone to aggregation are indicated. To obtain high quality electrically conductive products an operating system for quality control at the stages of the technological process of manufacturing must be proposed. Homogenization of the electrically conductive filler is very important. It is necessary to propose a method for assessing the stability of an aqueous suspension of a hydrophobic carbon material used for homogeneous distribution of a filler. Due to the lack of a standard, a method for determining the electrical conductivity of concrete is also needed.

Developing a Culture of Safety for Sustainable Development and Public Health in Manufacturing Companies—A Case Study

One of the most important values in human life is health and safety. This is reflected in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG3, SDG8), which were presented by the United Nations in 2015. These goals emphasize the importance of ensuring healthy lives, promoting well-being for all, and fostering inclusive and sustainable economic growth through decent work and safe working conditions. Taking into account the importance of issues related to safety, including occupational safety and human health, research was carried out to examine the impact of the development of a safety culture during employees’ work on improving public health. In order to conduct the research, a survey questionnaire was developed, consisting of 20 questions relating to 10 attributes of safety culture. The research surveys were carried out among 363 employees in a production enterprise, and an interview questionnaire was administered to 3 employees of the Occupational Health and Safety Service of this enterprise. The results revealed that the enterprise’s employees rate the level of safety culture very highly. Along with the improvement of working conditions in the enterprise, the level of safety increases, the number of accidents at work decreases, and thus the protection of employee health is higher. Therefore, a high level of safety culture is correlated with a high value attached to the health and life of employees, and this, in turn, affects public health. Moreover, fostering a strong safety culture aligns with the principles of sustainable development, contributing to long-term societal well-being and aligning with global goals for responsible and ethical growth.

The evolution of habitat quality and its response to land use change in the coastal China, 1985–2020

The coastal region of China is a typical area characterized by a developed economy, yet it faces prominent resource and environmental issues, and it is of great significance to quantitatively assess the ecological effects resulting from rapid urbanization and industrialization. Based on the land use data from 1985 to 2020, and the InVEST modeling and relevant spatial data sources, the paper analyzed the spatial and temporal changes in land use cover and habitat quality in the coastal China over the past 30 years. The results show that: 1) land use cover in the coastal China has changed significantly during the study period, with the area of cultivated land continuing to decrease and construction land expanding; 2) the trend of habitat quality degradation in was obvious, with the area of low-value habitat quality continuing to increase. Spatially, they were mainly located in the three major urban agglomerations undergoing rapid industrialization and urbanization; 3) The average degradation of habitats increased significantly between 1990 and 2000 and 2010–2020. The rate of change in areas with different degradation levels from 1990 to 2000 was higher than in other periods. The low-value areas of habitat degradation are mainly located in hilly and mountainous regions. 4) The transfer of habitat grades was generally characterized by a shift from high grade to low grade. This trend of conversion was due to the large-scale occupation of cultivated land by construction land and the long-term encroachment of ecological land by cultivated land. For future development, it is recommended to improve the land use regulation system based on the principles of sustainable development, with a particular focus on habitat protection. Additionally, efforts should be made to strengthen the development of ecological agriculture, carry out ecological protection and restoration, and improve the mechanisms for coordinating land and sea management.

Sustainable University Campuses: Temporal and Spatial Characteristics of Lightscapes in Outdoor Spaces

A lightscape, as a special visual landscape, has unique temporal and spatial characteristics that traditional photometric measurements and descriptions struggle to capture accurately. Despite their significance, there is a lack of in-depth understanding of the on-site perception of lightscapes’ temporal and spatial characteristics, including in outdoor university campus spaces. This study aims to explore the temporal and spatial characteristics of outdoor lightscapes on university campuses and their potential perceptual influencing factors, providing sustainable design, planning, and management suggestions for campus lightscapes. This study was conducted in the Wushan Campus of the South China University of Technology. It employs a “lightwalk” method for on-site perception evaluation, combining qualitative and quantitative approaches to investigate the temporal and spatial characteristics of lightscapes in outdoor university campus spaces and the effect of temporal and spatial factors on lightscape perception. The main findings are as follows: (1) Meteorological, architectural, and biophilic lightscape dominate the outdoor campus lightscapes. (2) The temporal and spatial characteristics of the lightscapes are affected by changes in natural light, the transition of light sources from day to night, human activity patterns, and the functional characteristics of the site. (3) The correlation between meteorological and traffic lightscape types and lightscape perception is diminished during the evening periods. This method should be a good way to optimize water and architectural lightscape at night to alleviate discomfort. (4) In green-shaded spaces, the association between meteorological, architectural, and traffic lightscape types and the evaluations of emotional, luminous, and eventful aspects is significantly enhanced, suggesting an increase in such spaces to improve lightscape experience quality. This study advocates that the construction of buildings and environments should be “human-oriented”, paying attention to the scientific foundation that humans perceive the habitat environment through the “five senses”. Research on lightscapes’ temporal and spatial characteristics, exploration of the temporal and spatial modes of lightscape perception, and avoiding energy waste and light pollution are conducive to the design and construction of university campuses in line with the principles of sustainable development. The lightscape optimization strategies derived from this study can not only provide practical guidance for the design and management of campus but also may offer valuable recommendations for planning sustainable campus development.
