Case B,Runway North-West/T3, relates to the Frankfurt airport’s construction of a new runway and a third terminal. While the terminal is on the ground of a former airbase, the runway caused deforestation, prompted the relocation of a chemical plant, and increased air traffic. These changes...
Overdevelopment of infrastructure to accommodate tourists can disrupt ecosystems, leading to deforestation, loss of biodiversity, and soil erosion [4,11]. Furthermore, increased waste generation and improper disposal practices associated with tourism contribute to environmental pollution [11,24]. Mitigating...
Moreover, population growth has led to sever deforestation for crop land expansion, construction materials, fire wood, fencing, household furniture, and charcoal production for income generation, resulting in climate change and subsequent land degradation. Tekalign [51] reported that environmental ...
Taking the foregoing into consideration, five cross-sectoral policies were examined, specifically: the climate and energy policies, agricultural and rural development strategies, as well as the forest policy; with specific reference to their impact on deforestation and forest degradation.
