16 This paper describes the results of research designed to explore reporting of three indices 17 (Corruption Perception Index, CPI, Human Development Index, HDI and the Ecological 18 Footprint, EF) in the UK national press between January 1990 and December 2009. 19 Reporting of the indices was assessed by: 20 (a) the number of articles published each year mentioning the index at least once 21 ...

In order to investigate the impact of green energy technology on environmental sustainability China, take Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region as an example, this paper first calculates per capita ecological footprint (ef), carrying capacity (ec) and deficit (ed) China from 1990 2019 by using (EF) model, then uses expanded STIRPAT model Partial Least Squares (PLS) regression explore importance EF in re...

This paper describes the questions on the consequences of the assumptions about resource sustainability and economic growth and whether sustainability and economic growth foreclose each other. Specifically, it examines four questions by: (1) Identifying the main factors in earth resource consumption in the past 40 years; (2) Finding relationships among person’s nutrition demands, food Ecologica...

1. introduction the concept of sustainable travel and transport is embedded in the broader concept of sustainable development, which relates to maintaining or improving the quality of human life and variety of social opportunities within the natural constraints and limits of the global ecosystem. the organization for economic cooperation and development (2004) defines an environmentally sustain...

We present a new calculation of Australia’s ecological footprint. Modifications have been made to the concept as originally proposed, in response to its perceived shortcomings: rather than characterising the consumption of the Australian population in terms of appropriated ‘bioproduction’ at world-average productivity, a regional, disturbance-based approach is taken, including actual Australian...

The ecological footprint is a quantitative biophysical method commonly used to evaluate the status of regional ecological environment and the degree of sustainable development. In this paper, the concept and calculation process of the ecological footprint are introduced by taking a county located in central China as example. Computational analysis and empirical research of the region’s ecologic...

In this paper, the overall ecological and environmental sustainability in the Cing-Jing region in Taiwan is examined. As land use and cover change has been found to be an important analysis method, an emergy ecological footprint model was applied and the eco-security assessed to ensure authorities maintain a balance between ecological preservation and tourism development. While the ecological e...

Humans’ demands for biological resources and energies have always been increasing, whereas evidence has shown that this demand is outpacing the regenerative and absorptive capacity of the planet. Since China is experiencing unprecedented urbanization and industrialization processes, how much impact this has imposed on the earth during economic development worldwide is conspicuous. Therefore, th...

This paper describes the work undertaken by the Transport Group of the Environmental Forum to quantify the ecological impact of the transport demands generated by the activities of Oxford Brookes University. Ecological Footprint Analysis was used to quantify the ecological impact in terms of the land area required for these transport activities to be sustainable. Data from a survey of the commu...
