Pollution Halo Hypothesis

At present, concerns regarding climate change are common, especially in countries more vulnerable to environmental degradation. Greenhouse gases, including carbon emissions, are mainly considered to deteriorate the environment. Despite substantial agreement on many environmental issues, there are also important differences between regions and countries, and often, within nations. Accordingly, this study aims to examine the environmental performance of South and East Asian countries and its association with trade and other economic variables. Panel regression techniques and robust checks are used to examine the data, which covers 15 years from 2002 to 2016. The findings suggest an extensive negative association between trade liberalization and the environmental performance of selected countries. It is also shown that climate change performance is an important channel for the overall environmental change. The results regarding heterogeneous differences affirm the concept of sustainability and the pollution halo hypothesis. However, it is suggested that each country should make an effort to improve its environmental performance along with economic development. The role of green innovation and renewable energy is very crucial in this regard. The outcomes of this study could be helpful for researchers and policymakers to form better policies regarding the environment and climate change.

Abstract The performance of Turkey in 2020 in terms of environmental security is examined in this study. Despite Turkey’s adoption of many international treaties about environmental issues, it is concluded that Turkey’s environmental performance in 2020 was very low. The research uses the Environmental Performance Index (EPI) and the Combating Climate Change Performance Index (CCPI) to access environmental security assessments. With the above results, it has been indicated that ecosystem vitality, biodiversity and habitat, 􀏐isheries, ef􀏐icient use of energy, and climate policies are the areas where the country performs the least. To add, The Ministry of Environment and Urbanization of Turkey has underlined that water pollution is the most important environmental problem in Turkey. Moreover, the fact that Turkey is one of seven countries that have not rati􀏐ied the Paris Climate Agreement is determined as a major issue of environmental security. Keywords: Human security, environmental security, Paris Climate Agreement, Environmental Performance Index (EPI), Combating Climate Change Performance Index (CCPI).

This paper explores the past, present and future role of broadcasting, above all via the medium of television, in shaping how societies talk, think about and act on climate change and sustainability issues. The paper explores these broad themes via a focus on the important but relatively neglected issue of material demand and opportunities for its reduction. It takes the outputs and decision-making of one of the world's most influential broadcasters, the BBC, as its primary focus. The paper considers these themes in terms of stories, touching on some of the broader societal frames of understanding into which they can be grouped. Media decision-makers and producers from a range of genres frequently return to the centrality of ‘story’ in the development, commissioning and production of an idea. With reference to specific examples of programming, and drawing on interviews with media practitioners, the paper considers the challenges of generating broadcast stories that can inspire engagement in issues around climate change, and specifically material demand. The concluding section proposes actions and approaches that might help to establish material demand reduction as a prominent way of thinking about climate change and environmental issues more widely. This article is part of the themed issue ‘Material demand reduction’.

Asean Economic Community

Trade liberalization has been carried out through the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC). Barriers to trade both goods and services are no longer found. Through market trade liberalization, ASEAN countries are increasingly open to competition. E-Commerce trade is a trade that was born due to the development of information technology. Through trade E-Commerce creates opportunities and challenges for countries in Southeast Asia. One product that is widely traded is cosmetics. The cosmetics industry has a strategic opportunity to increase the income of Southeast Asian countries, especially Indonesia. Promising markets, abundant raw materials and the ability to absorb labor are quite a number of industries to be reckoned with. It is interesting to study further the existence of strata that sells cosmetic products both at home and abroad through E-Commerce trading continues to increase. But on the other hand local Indonesian cosmetic products are not able to compete with foreign products. As a result, losses can be experienced by cosmetic products SME entrepreneurs. This study is intended to determine the role of the Indonesian government in enhancing the competitiveness of cosmetic products in the Asean realm as well as regulations that regulate cosmetics trade through the use of e-commerce.

Aviation is a growing contributor to climate change, with unique impacts due to the altitude of emissions. If existing traffic growth rates continue, radical engineering solutions will be required to prevent aviation becoming one of the dominant contributors to climate change. This paper reviews the engineering options for mitigating the climate impacts of aviation using aircraft and airspace technologies. These options include not only improvements in fuel efficiency, which would reduce carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions, but also measures to reduce non-CO 2 impacts including the formation of persistent contrails. Integrated solutions to optimize environmental performance will require changes to airframes, engines, avionics, air traffic control systems and airspace design. While market-based measures, such as offset schemes and emissions trading, receive growing attention, this paper sets out the crucial role of engineering in the challenge to develop a ‘green air traffic system’.
