One source of potential carbon dioxides in most developing countries is the transportation sector. The calculation of carbon dioxides is therefore, important as a part of policy making on carbon management in the region. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) calculation method which were often used require large and complete data. This is a problematic for developing countries due to the availability of data are not in accordance or sufficient with the IPCC method. This study examined the alternative calculation methods that are tailored to the available data in most developing countries. Two alternative methods are proposed for calculating carbon dioxide emissions; the first method is based on data of the number and types of vehicles, and the second method is based on the data and the length of the road class. The results show that both alternative methods are reliable to estimate specific emission factor (SEF) and emission estimates that are close to the IPCC calculation methods. The alternative of second method provides results that are closer to the IPCC calculation method with the correlation value of 0.997 and the standard error of 2.8 ton CO2/years, as compared to the results of alternative first method (correlation value of 0.990 and the standard error of 4.7 ton CO2/years).

Yogyakarta City

The use of vehicles in Yogyakarta City is quite a lot. Fuelcombustion in the vehicle produces some greenhouse gases emissions suchas Carbon Dioxide, Methane, and Nitrogen Dioxide. This causes thetransportation sector to become one of the largest greenhouse gasesemission contributors. This research is aimed to calculate the greenhousegases emission (Carbon Dioxide, Nitrogen Dioxide, and Methane) from theroad transportation sector in Yogyakarta City using IPCC(Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) Tier 1 and activity data in2015. The result of this research showed that the greenhouse gasesemissions produced in Yogyakarta City for the gasoline fuel and the dieselfuel in 2015 are 236.061 Gg CO2eq /year and 31.807 Gg CO2eq /year. These cause the total greenhouse gases emission from the roadtransportation sector in Yogyakarta City to become 267.868 Gg CO2 eq/year.

Long Term Studies

Many nations have recognized the need to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs). The scientific assessments of climate change of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) support the need to reduce GHG emissions. The 1997 Kyoto Protocol to the 1992 Convention on Climate Change (UNTS 30822) has now been signed by more than 65 countries, although that Protocol has not yet entered into force. Some 14 of the industrialized countries listed in the Protocol face reductions in carbon dioxide emissions of more than 10% compared to projected 1997 carbon dioxide emissions (Najam & Page 1998).

Capital Outflows

Capital flight and calculation methods are one of concepts that could not been arrived at a consensus in economics literature. Capital flight is defined generally as transferring resident assets of countries to abroad. In addition, political and economic uncertainty and including all capital outflows done with speculative aims in this scope is more acceptable and appropriate approach. Definitional-level differences are the fundamental reasons of measuring methods and their results. When examining in terms of developing countries, it has been seen that regarding capital flights which fall in importance and amount relatively between second half of 1990s and 2000s have extended fast from current years. This situation is not different for economies in transition. Currently the analyses regarding capital flights draw attention with its results that support concerns about transition countries. In this context, calculation methods and the results obtained constituted a different research subject for transition economies. Our study has aimed to analyze of capital flight for 1995-2015 period in the context of selected economies in transition. In analyses, World Bank (WDR 1985) calculation method of capital flight was used. The results have differentiated according to calculation methods, also draw attention to significant increases especially in current years and support concerns regarding increase of capital flight. While our study makes political suggestions directed at decreasing capital flights of relevant countries, redraw attention to discussion in this context.

The Intergovernmental Panel on climate changes have concluded that- Most paths to halting global temperature increases at 2 degrees and every way to decrease it to 1.5 degrees depend on adopting methods of sucking CO2 from the sky. “CO2 removal has gone from a moral hazard to a moral imperative," says Julio Fried Mann senior research scholar at the Center for Global Energy Policy at Columbia University. There are many industries emitting the flue gases which include steam, sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, carbon dioxide. One such industry which emits carbon dioxide is cement industry. A single cement industry accounts for around 5 percent of global carbon dioxide emissions. Concrete is the second most widely used material on earth after the water. Concrete is used for wide range of applications like construct buildings, bridges, roads, runways, sidewalks, and dams. So, here’s the concrete with zeolite powder and zeolite sand that captures the carbon dioxide from the ambient air and reduces the atmospheric carbon dioxide making it eco-friendly. Also addition of zeolite to the concrete improves the mechanical strength of the concrete. It is more durable than the ordinary Portland cement. In this review paper, we will discuss the performance and properties of concrete incorporated with zeolite.

Set Up

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change claims that global warming can be avoided by “reaching net zero carbon dioxide emissions globally around 2050 and concurrent deep reductions in emissions of non-carbon dioxide forcers, particularly methane.” To protect the planet and guarantee prosperity for all, The United Nations has set up a sustainable development program made up of 17 goals. Among them, Goal 12 establishes sustainable consumption and production patterns so that a social and economic growth does not increase the pressure on Earth's resources, and Goal 13 constrains global warming. This chapter explores some actions the telecommunication companies have implemented: assessing the issues of mineral resources on network equipment, improving data centre energy consumption, reducing the average electricity intensity of the transmitting data, contributing to the energy transition.
