This is an Excel-based dataset from the IEA showing the energy balances per country, per product, and per flow....

This a dataset regularly collected by Our World in Data which includes data on energy consumption (primary energy, per capita, and growth rates), energy mix, electricity mix, and other relevant metrics. The indicators represent all of our main data related to energy consumption, energy mix, electricity mix as well as other indicators of potential interest....

The management of municipal solid waste and the associated environmental impacts are the subject of growing attention in industrialized countries. EU has recently strongly emphasized the role of LCA in its waste and resource strategies. The development of sustainable solid waste management systems applying a life-cycle perspective requires readily understandable tools for modeling the life-cycle i...

WARM provides high-level comparisons of potential greenhouse gas emissions reductions, energy savings, and economic impacts when considering different materials management practices. Materials management practices include - source reduction, recycling, anaerobic digestion, combustion, composting and landfilling....

What a Waste 2.0: A Global Snapshot of Solid Waste Management to 2050 aggregates extensive solid waste data at the national and urban levels. It estimates and projects waste generation to 2030 and 2050. Beyond the core data metrics from waste generation to disposal, the report provides information on waste management costs, revenues, and tariffs; special wastes; regulations; public communication; ...

i‐Tree is a suite of free software tools for estimating and quantifying the benefits trees provide to our communities. These benefits are typically expressed in dollars and amounts of carbon dioxide and air pollution removal (ozone, sulfur dioxide, etc.), as well as stormwater reduction. Raising awareness of these tree benefits increases the desire to nurture and protect trees...

The paper proposes a ranking of the countries where forest carbon sequestration is the most cost-efficient among 166 countries for which data are available. Taking into account the main cost factors leads to a more nuanced ranking of the countries to be favoured for cost-efficient forest carbon sequestration compared to the assumption that these would always be in tropical areas with high rainfall...

The report investigates the impact of shifting to clean cookstoves and dynamics with gender and livelihoods in Odisha state in Eastern India. Chapter 4 highlights the time-saving aspects of switching to cleaner cookstoves relative to the traditional cooking technologies that require the collection of (biomass) fuels and a longer time for cooking. The latter also impacts indoor air pollution and he...

The report Air Pollution in Asia and the Pacific: Science-based Solutions is the first-ever comprehensive scientific assessment of air pollution outlook in the region. It outlines 25 clean air measures that could achieve safe air quality levels for 1 billion people by 2030 – with numerous benefits for public health, economic development and the climate....
