The Price Gap in Agriculture‐Based Greenhouse Gas Offset Markets

Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Today, there is a global effort to reduce greenhouse gas net emissions (GHGNE). For economic well‐being, it is important to identify low‐cost means of net emission offsets. Agriculture and forestry have received considerable attention as a means of supplying emissions offsets, as they contribute nearly 20% of global emissions.

Estimating the Carbon Footprint of External Beam Radiotherapy: Should This Be a Concern for LMICs?

Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose This study aims to estimate the carbon footprint associated with external beam radiotherapy in a low‐ and middle‐income country (LMIC) context, specifically at the Uganda Cancer Institute (UCI), and to evaluate whether sustainability should be a priority alongside treatment access in such radiation therapy settings.

Analysis of Global Warming Potential (GWP) in Waste Transportation System Using Life Cycle Assessment Method in Panakkukang District, Makassar City

ASTONJADRO
Global warming is an ecosystem imbalance caused by an increase in atmospheric temperature mainly caused by the Greenhouse Gas effect. Global warming potential (GWP) is caused by several human activities, one of which is waste management. This study aims to analyze the environmental impact, especially on the amount of GWP in the waste transportation ...

Do Global Reporting Initiative Reports Capture Planetary Boundaries‐related Information? An Empirical Investigation

Abacus, EarlyView.
The Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) has become a widely adopted sustainability reporting framework. This study aims to examine whether GRI reports can, should, and do address planetary boundaries. To do so, the study develops a framework and method to assess the extent to which planetary boundaries‐related information is captured in firms’ GRI ...

Decarbonising Respiratory Care: The Impact of a Low‐Carbon Salbutamol Pressurised Metered‐Dose Inhalers

Allergy, EarlyView.
Healthcare systems contribute up to 5% of global GHG emissions, with inhalers contributing a proportion of these. The carbon footprint of current salbutamol inhalers (pMDI with HFA‐134a propellant and DPI) and a planned salbutamol pMDI with low‐GWP propellant HFA‐152a was quantified across seven countries.

A Flexible Global Warming Index for Use in an Integrated Approach to Climate Change Assessment [PDF]

Global Warming Potential (GWP) is an index used to measure the relative accumulated radiative effect of a tonne of greenhouse gas (GHG) compared to that of a 'reference' gas (CO2).
