less than 1.5 km. Heat from biogas CHP can be used in combination with a wood-chipheating plantfor heating residential and public buildings in the neighborhood. If the heat output from CHP is used to substitute fossil fuels, then considerable mitigation of environmental impacts can be achieved...
Although planning policy enables local planning authorities to influence development with regard to flood risk, in practice there appears to be a number of barriers inhibiting effective flood mitigation, particularly in areas with high development pressures. This research focuses on treatment of flood ...
Figure3shows all 104 cities in descending order of their total scores on mitigation or adaptation. We ranked each city separately for the two policy fields; the individual scores are presented in SI 1. Figure3shows that mitigation is a more advanced policy field in comparison to adaptation: onl...

IMPACT OF GLOBAL AND LOCAL EMISSION MITIGATION POLICIES ON THE CHILEAN POWER SYSTEM EXPANSION PLANNING On the contrary, it corresponds to a general formulation for planning power system expansion under local and global environmental policies. Therefore, our ... E Sauma,D Quiroga,D Pozo - Iaee ...
Adaptation and mitigation planning have several similarities, and as they often cover overlapping and complementary issues, it would be worthwhile comparing our regional results to mitigation-oriented papers, identifying a future research area by applying statistical methods to prove the connecting points,...
摘要: The nation is making a major investment in hazard mitigation planning since adoption of the Federal Disaster Mitigation Act (DMA) of 2000, which strongly encourages all state and local governments to prepare hazard mitigation plans. No national-level studies have assessed...
Indeed, land-use policies are one important aspect in attaining the goal of sustainability or sustainable development due to the fact that such policies can affect food and energy security, economic growth, ecosystem stability, social justice, and, recently, the mitigation of and adaptation to ...
1. The lower court erred in applying a bright-line flooding mitigation exception to the Texas Constitution’s requirement of compensation for the taking, damaging, or destruction of private property. 2. The lower court erred in applying a bright-line “police power” exception to the Texas Con...
(\delta\). Another example are climate policy co-benefits (see, e.g. Regnier and Legras2018; Karlsson et al.2020; Chan and Zhou2021). If mitigation leads to other benefits for the city (e.g. better local air quality or energy savings), and if they depend linearly onq, this would ...
