O objetivo deste trabalho é realizar um estudo sobre um projeto regional com 39 municípios para análise comparativa para destinação dos rejeitos dos resíduos sólidos urbanos em um incinerador e disposição em um aterro sanitário com captação do biogás, considerando a possibilidade de recuperação energética em ambos os sistemas, bem como a comparação com relação à emissão de gases de efeito estufa e poluentes atmosféricos.  Para realização deste estudo foram adotadas as seguintes metodologias: caracterização gravimétrica das frações de resíduos sólidos produzidas na região; cálculo de captação do biogás com recuperação energética utilizando a equação elabora pelo IPCC - International Panel on Climate Change, com distribuição triangular da produção do metano gerado ao longo dos anos pela degradação lenta e rápida dos resíduos; e recuperação de energia em sistema de incineração. Os resultados mostraram que o sistema de incineração tem eficiência em 3,2 vezes maior para a produção de energia em relação ao sistema de aterro sanitário, o qual emite gases de efeito estufa 2,9 vezes mais que o sistema de incineração. A conclusão do estudo é que a incineração leva vantagem sobre o aterro sanitário na gestão de resíduos sólidos, porque gera mais energia elétrica, emite menos gases de efeito estufa, utiliza menos área física de terra e, por ser um sistema fechado e estanque apresenta melhores condições para mitigação dos impactos ambientais negativos. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Resíduos sólidos. Destinação. Disposição. Aterro sanitário. Incineração. Energia. Sustentabilidade. COMPARATIVE STUDY BETWEEN SANITARY LANDFILL AND INCINERATION FOR ENERGY GENERATION IN A REGIONAL PROJECT FORMED BY A CONSORTIUM OF MUNICIPALITIESABSTRACT: The objective of this work was to carry out a comparative study between sanitary landfill and incineration of urban solid waste, considering the possibility of energy recovery, as well as to compare both systems greenhouse gases and atmospheric pollutant emissions. This study was done within a regional cooperative project among 39 municipalities of central São Paulo State. The following methodologies were adopted: gravimetric characterization of solid waste fractions produced in the region; biogas capture with energy recovery using the equation elaborated by the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), with a triangular distribution of the methane production generated over the years by the slow and rapid waste degradation of the wastes; and energy recovery in incineration system. The results showed that the incineration system is 3.2 times more efficient for energy production than the landfill system, which emits greenhouse gases 2.9 times more than the incineration system. The conclusion of the study is that incineration takes advantage of landfill in solid waste management, because it generates more electricity, emits less greenhouse gases, uses less physical land area and, because it is a closed and watertight system, presents better conditions for mitigation of negative environmental impacts. KEYWORDS: Solid waste. Destination. Disposition. Landfill. Incineration. Energy. Sustainability.

Impacts Of Climate Change

As alterações climáticas estão associadas a graves impactos na agricultura uma vez que o crescimento e o desenvolvimento das culturas dependem diretamente do clima e das interações solo-atmosfera. A umidade do solo é uma informação fundamental no planejamento agrícola, subsidiando a definição das datas de plantio, necessidades de irrigação e produtividades agrícolas. O presente estudo objetivou avaliar os impactos das mudanças climáticas na umidade do solo para uma região de cultura de soja do estado do Rio Grande do Sul através dos cenários estabelecidos pelo IPCC (International Panel on Climate Change). Os resultados indicaram uma tendência ao aumento da precipitação, favorecendo o aumento da taxa de umidade do solo na região do médio alto Uruguai. Em síntese, o fator de umidade do solo apresentou condições favoráveis ao desenvolvimento vegetal e pelos resultados apresentados, verifica-se que o modelo de previsão de umidade do solo, analisado em conjunto com os cenários do IPCC, são importantes ferramentas para os estudos dos impactos das mudanças climáticas na produtividade agrícola. Palavras chaves: mudanças climáticas, soja, umidade do solo.   Climate Projections of Quality Changes in Water Available on the Ground for Cultivation of Soybeans   ABSTRACT Climate change is associated with serious impacts on agriculture since the crop growth and development depend directly on the climate and soil-atmosphere interactions. Soil moisture is fundamental information in agricultural planning, helping to define the dates of planting, irrigation needs, and agricultural productivity. In this study was evaluated the impacts of climate change in moisture soil to a region of the soybean crop in the state of Rio Grande do Sul using the IPCC (International Panel on Climate Change) scenarios set. The results indicated a tendency to increased rainfall, favoring an increase in the rate of soil moisture in the region of the middle upper Uruguay. The factor of soil moisture showed favorable conditions for plant development and the results presented showed that prediction model of soil moisture analyzed in conjunction with the IPCC scenarios are important tools for studies of the impacts of climate change on agricultural productivity. Keywords: Climate change, soybean, soil moisture.

Adaptation Action

Urban areas are amongst the most adversely affected regions by current and future climate change effects. One issue when it comes to measuring, for example, impacts, vulnerabilities, and resilience in preparation of adaptation action is the abundance of conceptual frameworks and associated definitions. Frequently, those definitions contradict each other and shift over time. Prominently, in the transition from the IPCC AR (International Panel on Climate Change Assessment Report) 4 to the IPCC AR 5, a number of conceptual understandings have changed. By integrating common concepts, the literature review presented intends to thoroughly investigate frameworks applied to assess climate change effects on urban areas, creating an evidence base for research and politically relevant adaptation. Thereby, questions concerning the temporal development of publication activity, the geographical scopes of studies and authors, and the dominant concepts as applied in the studies are addressed. A total of 50 publications is identified following screening titles, abstracts, and full texts successively based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Major findings derived from our literature corpus include a recently rising trend in the number of publications, a focus on Chinese cities, an imbalance in favor of authors from Europe and North America, a dominance of the concept of vulnerability, and a strong influence of the IPCC publications. However, confusion regarding various understandings remains. Future research should focus on mainstreaming and unifying conceptual frameworks and definitions as well as on conducting comparative studies.

This article explores how readers of UK newspapers construct expertise around climate change. It draws on 300 online readers’ comments on news items in The Guardian, Daily Mail and The Telegraph, concerning the release of the International Panel on Climate Change report calling for immediate action on climate change. Comments were analysed using discursive psychology. We identified a series of discursive strategies that commenters adopted to present themselves as experts in their commentary. The (mostly indirect) use of category entitlements (implicitly claiming themselves as expert) and the presentation of one’s argument as factual (based on direct or indirect technical knowledge or common sense) emerged as common ways in which readers made claims to expertise, both among the supporters and among the sceptics of climate change science. Our findings indicate that expertise is a fluid concept, constructed in diverse ways, with important implications for public engagement with climate change science.

The existence of Universities that include many human activities for energy consumption such as electrical and fossil fuel energy would be affected to CO2 emission. As the most important component of greenhouse gases (GHG), CO2 will induce global warming, which become climate change condition. This research was intended to predict the amount of CO2 emission from campus activities using International Panel Climate Change (IPCC) method. Location for the research sample was in Faculty of Science and Technology (FST), Pinang Masak Campus of Jambi University, which the carbon emission sources were identified to three scope based on The Greenhouse Gas Protocol. Carbon footprint scope 1 comprises from operational vehicle activities and use of LPG in Canteen in aggregate 12,18 ton.CO2-eq. However, scope 2 comes from the use of electrical which amount to 100,29 ton.CO2-eq and scope 3 which consist of transportation activities and the use of paper by FST lecturers, staff and students with amount 443,64 ton.CO2-eq. Therefore, the total amount of carbon footprint in FST Campus was 556,10 ton.CO2-eq.

In preparing the Third Assessment Report (due in 2001), the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was also assigned the task of assessing "methodological aspects of cross-cutting issues such as equity, discount rates, and decision making frameworks". The article analyses the task; points out the gaps in IPCC's past approaches to policy and decision making methodologies; and outlines elements of a paradigm that effectively bridges science and decision making, especially in the area of applying IPCC's global policies on the national and local levels, within the ultimate goal of sustainable development.

Addressing climate emergencies requires a radical social change, and an “earth system” governance approach that combines different factors (including technologies that affect climate). As the Paris Agreement has been reached for four years and came into force for three years, there is a growing recognition that the global average temperature rise cannot be limited to 1.5–2∘C only by emissions reduction or existing carbon removal measures. The reason is that the world has not taken enough actions to deal with the crisis. As reported by IPCC (2018), hundreds of millions of people worldwide are already experiencing the harsh consequences of climate change, from storms to floods, to heatwaves and droughts [IPCC. 2018. “International Panel on Climate Change Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5 Degrees.” https://www.ipcc.ch/sr15 (accessed November 5, 2019)]. According to Spratt and Dunlop (2019), as the climate change intensifies, all sectors of society have realized the need to avoid the risks brought by climate change and to deal with the severe disasters that already exist [Spratt, David, and Ian Dunlop. 2019. “Existential Climate-related Security Risk: A Scenario Approach.” https://docs.wixstatic.com/ugd/148cb0b2c0c79dc4344b279bcf2365336ff23b.pdf (accessed November 5, 2019)]. This raises some profound questions. For instances, should people consider a new responsive measure that is compatible with the natural system which sustains life on the earth, and within the limits of the earth’s tolerance? What forms of decision-making might we need, to help us make the smart collective choices needed for a world where no risk-free options remain? Are familiar governance and decision-making processes still suitable for the goals? Who will make the decisions to promote this transformation? If people really want to change the way they make decisions, they may need to create new forms of governance and decide how this transformation begins and which authority is subject to.
