In response to powerful trends in technology, resource and land supply demand, socioeconomics geopolitics, cities are likely increase use of the subsurface near future. Indeed, its appropriate have been put forward as being crucial importance if we achieve resilient sustainable cities. recent years, quite apart from seen primarily a construction basis provide physical space for infrastructure create better surface living environment, has recognised multifunctional natural resource, one which...
European seas are encountering an upsurge in competing marine activities and infrastructures. Traditional exploitation such as fisheries, tourism, transportation, oil production accompanied by new sustainable economic offshore windfarms, aquaculture, tidal wave energy. One proposed solution to overcome possible claims at sea lies combining these part of Multi-Use Platforms Sea (MUPS). MUPS can be understood areas sea, designated for a combination activities, either completely integrated...
Wastewater treatment in low and lower-middle income countries is often limited by lack of local technical expertise, institutional capacity, financial resources, making it challenging to reach SDG6-target 6.3, i.e. halving the proportion untreated wastewater. Several studies suggest sets sustainability indicators for assessing planning and/or operation WWTPs. However, existing standard are typically focused on context high upper-middle countries, whereas face other types issues. The...
The subsurface is a multifunctional natural resource. However, mindset of “out sight, out mind” and first-come-first-served principle are prevalent when accessing these resources, compromising fair intergenerational intragenerational distribution sustainable development. As with the ecosystem services (ES) concept, which acknowledges contribution living part nature to human well-being, concept geosystem (GS) has been suggested as way highlight abiotic provided by subsurface. overall aim this...
European oceans are subject to rapid development. New activities such as aquaculture and ocean energy have gained importance. This triggers interest in “multi-use platforms at sea” (MUPS), i.e., areas sea which different combined. MUPS complex features with regards technology, governance, financial, socioeconomic, environmental aspects. To identify realistic sustainable solutions designs for MUPS, the MERMAID project applied a participatory design process (PDP) involving range of...
Over the last decade, there has been rapid development in promoting and implementing sustainable remediation. It is now common to include at least some sustainability considerations remediation projects. Specific challenges that have highlighted often relate economic social aspects not receiving enough attention: broadening aspects, community meaningful stakeholder engagement, understanding stakeholders' risk perception, a need for better estimates of site-specific costs benefits. This study...
Gentle Remediation Options (GRO) are remediation measures involving plants, fungi, bacteria, and soil amendments that can be applied to manage risks at contaminated sites. Several studies decision-support tools promote the wider range of benefits provided by GRO, but there is still skepticism regarding GRO implementation. Key issues need better communicated various risk mitigation mechanisms, required reduction for an envisioned land use, time perspective associated with mechanisms. To...
Contamination of soil and water systems by per- polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) due to uncontrolled use aqueous film-forming foams (AFFFs) at firefighting training sites civilian military airports is a universal issue can lead significant human health environmental impacts. Remediation these often complex but necessary alleviate the PFAS burden minimise risks exposure eliminating hotspot/source from which spreads. This study presents probabilistic cost-benefit analysis (CBA) for evaluating...
Water protection is a widely supported goal in society, but competing interests often complicate the implementation of water measures. Moreover, benefits efforts are typically underestimated as risk assessments focus on provision drinking and neglect additional services provided by clean source. We developed list system (WSS) that allows assessment all biotic abiotic The WSS were derived from Common International Classification Ecosystem Services (CICES). objectives this paper to (i)...
The Circular Economy (CE) is expected to accelerate the use of resources with bio-based origin. Cities have an important role in such economy, not only as main consumers but also because vegetation provides numerous ecosystem services essential for well-being urban dwellers. Urban lands are, however, heavily burdened both past and present activities ongoing urbanization. Retrofitting obsolete potentially contaminated brownfields opportunity engage land uses within city. At same time, plants...
Knowledge about how implemented policy instruments have performed is important for designing effective and efficient that contribute to reductions of greenhouse gas emissions. This paper carries out a meta-evaluation ex-post evaluations climate in the freight transport sector. By analysing outcomes quality evaluations, aim identify whether estimated effects can be compared between if results are appropriate use evidence-based decision making. To analyse these aspects, commonly applied...
