Study Notes
- Group 3 presented a report on Climate Action (SDG 13), Sustainable Cities and Communities (SDG 11), fossil fuels, and environmental awareness.
SDG 13: Climate Action
- Aims to combat climate change and its impacts through urgent action.
- Focuses on reducing risk and vulnerability to climate change.
- Strives to strengthen resilience and enhance the capacity to anticipate and respond to change.
- Prioritizes disaster readiness, resilient infrastructure, and adaptive strategies, especially in high-risk areas.
- Supports key initiatives like climate-smart agriculture, sustainable urban development, and ecosystem restoration.
- Promotes clean energy, climate education, and stronger public health systems.
- The Space Climate Observatory (SCO) is an international initiative that leverages satellite data to monitor and understand the impacts of climate change.
- SCO provides real-time insights on environmental shifts.
- SCO helps develop effective climate adaptation and mitigation strategies for a sustainable future through international collaboration.
SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities
- Aims to make cities inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable.
- Promotes access to affordable housing and basic services.
- Encourages efficient public transport and sustainable urban development.
- Emphasizes reducing air pollution and managing waste effectively.
- Increasing green spaces will improve quality of life.
Innovations in Sustainable Cities
- 3D-printed housing offers a faster, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly solution to urban housing challenges.
- Homes can be rapidly constructed using automated 3D printers that layer materials such as concrete, clay, or recycled substances.
- Significantly reduces construction time and costs compared to traditional building methods.
Environmental Awareness Regarding Fossil Fuels
- Raising environmental awareness involves educating the public about the harmful environmental impacts of burning fossil fuels.
- Burning fossil fuels causes greenhouse gas emissions, which leads to climate change.
- Encouraging a shift toward renewable energy sources is necessary to mitigate negative effects and promote a more sustainable future.
- Environmental awareness campaigns aim to inspire action and policy change.
- A transition to renewables helps reduce carbon footprints, promotes energy security, economic growth, and job creation in sustainable industries.
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS)
- Aims to mitigate climate change by capturing carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel power plants and industrial facilities.
- CCS transports captured emissions and stores them deep underground in geological formations.
- This process prevents CO2 from entering the atmosphere and contributing to global warming.
- CCS is seen as an essential tool for achieving net-zero climate goals.
- CCS can be combined with bioenergy (BECCS) to create negative emissions.
- CCS faces challenges like high costs, energy intensity, and concerns over long-term storage security.
