- Publication 16 August 2021 CO2 Emissions from International Shipping International maritime shipping accounts for approximately 800 million tonnes of CO2 emissions a year, but it is not regulated by the Paris Agreement. The UN’s International Maritime Organisation (IMO) has the task of launching initiatives to reduce the sector’s CO2 emissions, but it is proving difficult to agree on solid rules and restrictions. The strong growth in the global population is causing a growing demand for maritime shipping, resulting in a tendency to increase CO2 emissions in the…
- Publication 16 August 2021 Ridership and the Built-Form Indicators: A Study from Ahmedabad Janmarg Bus Rapid Transit System (BRTS) Although the Janmarg (people’s way) Bus Rapid Transit System (BRTS) system in Ahmedabad, India, achieved worldwide accolades since its introduction, it has not reached its expected ridership. In analyzing ridership, research shows that external factors of BRTS such as built-form indicators have a potentially greater effect on ridership than its internal factors. In order to assess the ridership of the Janmarg BRTS, a methodology was developed based on built-form indicators that were quantified…

- Publication 16 August 2021 Donor Support for Sustainability Transition: The case of low-carbon development in the cement sector of Tunisia The overwhelming evidence and scientific consensus on the impacts of human-induced climate change have prompted enhanced mitigation responses over time, led by developed countries representing the biggest emitters historically. More recently, rapid economic growth in developing countries has led to soaring emissions of greenhouse gases. As a result, measures to promote a shift to low-carbon and sustainable futures in all countries of the world are now vital elements of global goals for the…

- Publication 16 August 2021 The true cost of using traditional fuels in a humanitarian setting. Case study of the Nyarugusu refugee camp, Kigoma region, Tanzania Over the past two decades, the global number of forcibly displaced people has doubled, reaching 65.6 million in 2017. Reducing energy poverty has been identified as a priority on the international agenda since September 2015, when the UN adopted seventeen Sustainable Development Goals including Goal 7 which seeks to ‘ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all by 2030’. However, recent research sheds light on the magnitude of energy poverty in humanitarian…
