In this study, a novel inexact two-stage stochastic robust-compensation programming (ITSP-RC) model is developed for CO2 emission reduction management under uncertainties. This model is attempted to integrate ITSP and stochastic RC programming into a general framework and apply the ITSP-RC for power management and CO2 emission reduction management, such that the developed model can tackle uncertainties described in terms of interval values and probability distributions over a two-stage context. Moreover, it can reflect dynamic and randomness of the energy systems during the planning horizon. The developed method has been applied to a case to solve CO2 emission management problem in electric supply environmental management. A number of scenarios corresponding to different adoption rate levels of carbon capture, utilization, and storage technology are examined. With the RC programming, regional energy systems would have a stable financial budget. The result suggests that the methodology is applicable for reflecting complexities of large-scale energy management systems and addressing CO2 emissions reduction issue with the planning period.

The environment is a mandate that must be maintained, because a good environment will produce a generation that is good and strong. Poor environmental management will create new problems. Ethics that regulate environmental management can maintain environmental conditions and reduce the rate of environmental change, for example by the presence of singer and jipen owned by the Central Of Borneo Dayak Tribe. Singer is a punishment and jipen is the amount of customary punishment given to someone who commits a customary offense. A detrimental activity will distrub the productivity of the environment, with the singer and jipen will be able to reduce the rate of damage. Case examples of the application of singer and jipen such as the Wilmar Group case, productive Durian Tree Cutting, Murder, even defamation, singer and jipen giving in accordance with the impact of the case, whether it is detrimental on a small or large scale and determined. The sentence was determined by the kepala adat / mantir / demang. The research used is a type of ethnography with data collection techniques by observation, interviews and literature studies.

Actuality of large-scale geobotanical division into districts due to the need to optimize environmental management, conservation of the resource potential and protection of tundra ecosystems. Geobotanical division into districts scheme of the Bolshezemelskaya tundra and surrounding areas (ridge Pai-Khoi, Pechora River valley) have been prepared using thematic maps, remote sensing data, numerous publications and results of own work. The territory was divided into 65 geobotanical districts which have been described by the dominant types of vegetation, landscape, soil and geomorphological features. In previous work (Geobotanical division into districts ..., 1989), three large geobotanical districts covering Bolshezemelskaya and Malozemelskaya tundra, has been proposed. We performed a comparative analysis of the vegetation cover structure using maps that showed significant differences between vegetation of the Malozemelskaya and Bolshezemelskaya parts of these districts. So, we have identified for the Bolshezemelskaya tundra independent geobotanical districts – Bolshezemelskyi primorskyi, West Bolshezemelskyi and PechoraHarayahskyi. Valley of the Pechora River in its lower reaches is different from the surrounding areas Bolshezemelskaya and Malozemelskaya tundra dominated by subarctic floodplain plant communities, so we offered to independent Nizhnepechorskyi geobotanical districts.

Management Information

A certain type of engineering environmental management information system (referred to as the system) has been developed for many years, but there are not many construction cases. Domestic and foreign companies and enterprises have little research on this type of engineering system construction plan, and the knowledge base of historical experience and lessons is less. The design analysis of the engineering system construction scheme has practical significance and value. The system construction design adopts large-scale joint control technology to integrate all environmental protection subsystems into an organic whole, realize information sharing and collaborative work, realize remote monitoring and control of process equipment, and realize dynamic and online management of equipment information. Eventually, a certain type of engineering achieve the goals of intelligent control, unmanned duty, and controllable operation.

The Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland analysed all systematically collected stream sediment samples in Greenland by Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis for a range of elements including Au, As and Sb. The large-scale regional distribution patterns for the three elements are shown here for the first time, and their implications for old exploration and for environmental issues are discussed.

Cultivation has been the primary driver of habitat transformation in South Africa. This paper explores the effectiveness of agricultural and, latterly, Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) authorisation procedures in stemming biodiversity loss resulting from cultivation in the lowlands of the Cape Floristic Region, a global biodiversity hotspot. Owing to an activity-based focus, agri-environmental regulation has been largely unable to mitigate the cumulative effects of large-scale land clearance in threatened ecosystems. Case studies in the Sandveld and Slanghoek districts are used to argue that revised EIA regulations published in 2006 partly perpetuate the structural shortcomings of activity-based EIA. An ecosystem-based strategy for agri-environmental screening in biodiversity hotspots is introduced, drawing on conservation plans, the agricultural LandCare programme and the provision for Environmental Management Frameworks (EMF) in the 2006 EIA regulations. "Agri-EMFs", as a collaborative initiative that involves government, agricultural and non-governmental representatives, may present an effective alternative to the inefficiencies of project-level EIA.

Meta Analyses

High-profile modeling studies often project that large-scale win-win solutions exist in environmental management, either improving aggregate objectives such as economic gains and conservation, or improving outcomes for multiple stakeholder groups. However, on-the-ground scholars and managers often approach win-win narratives skeptically, due to real-world complexity. Case-study meta-analyses find win-wins are relatively rare. Here, we show mathematically why complexity reduces the availability of win-wins. We provide a general proof that, under uncertainty, the probability a manager should assign to the existence of a win-win outcome (i.e. a Pareto improvement) strictly decreases in each of: the number of objectives, the number of stakeholders, and the number of constraints. We also prove that the maximum simultaneously achievable fraction of all objectives’ maxima strictly decreases in the number of objectives, and approaches a limit unaffected by the tradeoff surface’s curvature. This is important because most empirically estimated two-dimensional tradeoff surfaces are concave—77%, we show in a meta-analysis. Concave tradeoffs are less severe—moreso in lower dimensions—which could create misleading impressions of higher-dimensional tradeoffs. Our results link two important schools of thought regarding environmental tradeoffs, and provide quantitative guidance for interpreting the implications of empirical low-dimensional tradeoff studies for higher-dimensional realities.

Recently, China has encountered significant challenges in improving, on a large scale, the environmental performance of its industries, which puts great threat to energy conservation and human health. As one of the State-owned Key Enterprises, to check and reduce negative environmental impacts throughout the subsidiary companies production processes, pollutant emission audit is conducted, which will find total mass of discharged pollutant and weaknesses in the enterprises environmental management. Consequently, this paper established the audit framework, concluding audit objectives, principle and methodology. Finally, nine companies were conducted in this case study.
