The role of sustainability rating systems in delivering infrastructure and building engineering’s contribution to climate change mitigation and adaptation

(Corresponding) Venables R.
Topic: 
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
Although overall drivers for climate change mitigation and adaptation are clear, it is often difficult for professionals working on infrastructure and buildings to assess what relevant action they should be taking in their designs and construction. In parallel, scientists working on construction or...Read more

Mitigation potentials of tree-crops: An economic evaluation of trading-off carbon sequestration with actual market goods.

Bithas K., (Corresponding) LATINOPOULOS D.
Topic: 
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
As climate objectives are far from being reached under the prevailing policies, more concrete actions should be undertaken, and all possibilities should be exploited. Land-based mitigation potentials are emerging as a cost-effective mitigation prospect. CO2 sequestration is an essential ecosystem...Read more

Exploring the mitigation potential of tree crops ecosystems in the Mediterranean region

Bithas K., (Corresponding) Latinopoulos D., Petridou F., Spanos I., Sotiropoulos A., Haroutounian S., Roussos P., Montanaro G., Evergetis E., Intrigliolo D., Mimis A., Sotiropoulou R., Tagaris E.
Topic: 
Mitigation policies
Orchards agro-ecosystems display a significant potential to act a net sink for atmospheric carbon, offering significant land-based mitigation services. This mitigation potential depends greatly on cultivated species and applied cultivation practices. In this context, the study herein aims to...Read more

(Corresponding) KAZANA V., RAPTIS D., CHRYSANTHIDOU E., KAZAKLIS A., MOUMTZIDOU D., PAPADOPOULOU D.
Topic: 
CITIZEN SCIENCE
Social perceptions and attitudes are important dimensions for the successful implementation of Green Infrastructure (GI) projects, as these are typically designed to improve environmental conditions and promote a green economy. This paper attempts to investigate social behavioral patterns of...Read more
