AbstractThis study examines Taiwan’s ecological footprint (EF) and its Overshoot Day from 2000 to 2018. The latest EF calculation method is used to determine the conversion rates and equivalent factors of bioproductive lands in each year to establish a database of Taiwan’s EF in that period. The results reveal that Taiwan’s EF was 7.69 gha/person in 2000, dropping steadily to 6.46 gha/person in 2018. Taiwan’s carbon footprint accounted for about 61% of Taiwan’s total EF, slightly higher than the world average (60%). The carbon footprint as a proportion of the total EF has been increasing annually. This study adopts social communication tools, such as the overshoot day and the earth clock, to promote sustainable development goals and climate change policy initiatives. Global Footprint Network (GFN) updates the overshoot day of each country in its database yearly, based on each country’s EF and biocapacity. Since Taiwan is not included in GFN, this study adopts the same method and finds out that Taiwan's Overshoot Day in 2018 was March 14th, meaning that on March 14th, 2018, Taiwan exhausted all of the biological resources that its bioproductive lands can regenerate in the year. If the global population lived like Taiwanese, four Earths would be required to provide the resources used. This result not only reflects the consumption of natural resources in Taiwan, but also indicates that Taiwan should focus on sustainable development and reduce that consumption.

Green HRM is a concept that is fast gaining prominence in the field of management. This review article discusses Green HRM for implementing best HR practices for reducing employees' carbon footprint and thus leading to sustainable growth within the organization. It explores how Green HRM can achieve the integration of environment-friendly HR practices and activities in order to achieve long-lasting sustainable development and a reduction of the employee carbon footprint. The data is collected on the basis of secondary sources such as articles, research papers, case studies, and internet websites. Green HRM does not only imply awareness and concern towards environmental issues, it favors the economic as well as social wellbeing of the employees and organization. This article deliberates on the Green HRM approach and the prominent part it can play in integrating and merging the HR practices within the organization in favour of the environment.

Thisresearch is to analyze and reduce the emission of carbon footprint around campus in order to build a sustainable campus for future generations. One of the most profound issue faced by the world today is the rise of temperature which is also known as global warming. The emission of GHGs has been an alarming issue in our world today which causes not only the rise of temperature but also disastrous natural disasters such as flood, hurricane, drought and many more. Like other developing countries, Malaysia have given its full support and cooperation in its attempt to achieve a sustainable development. In Malaysia, there are several policies and legislation developed to encourage sustainability in four major areas which are water and waste management, transportation, energy and building. The importance of higher education institutions such as universities should address the diverse needs of local societies and promote sustainability. Universities should also consider including sustainability into student’s education and program to promote the environmental issues which have been one of the highest concerns around the world. Therefore, the focus of this research is to analyze and reduce the carbon footprint for a sustainable campus. Hence, the aim of this research is to analyze the emission of carbon footprint throughout the campus such as traveling to class and to suggest alternatives that the student or staff can take in order to reduce the emission of carbon footprint around campus and to build a sustainable campus.

Key Aspects

Abstract Synthetic ammonia from fossil energy can technically be used for power generation. Viewed as hydrocarbon utilization, it enables oil and gas industries to move towards the sustainable development of resources while minimizing their carbon footprint. We present an integrated high-level overview of this concept by highlighting the following key aspects: i) the carbon footprint of the process, ii) the necessity for carbon capture and storage (CCS), iii) power generation from fuel ammonia, and iv) market development. First, the carbon footprint was estimated based on the chemical formulas of the process, which revealed the necessity for CCS for the process to provide cleaner energy. Second, having reviewed these four key aspects, we showed that most elemental technologies comprising this new value chain have already been technically proven. Finally, we discuss and conclude with possible ways towards the commercialization of this value chain.
