PIANC ISSUES A 2023 UPDATE OF CLIMATE CHANGE DRIVERS AND IMPACTS OF WATERBORNE TRANSPORT, PORTS AND WATERWAYS. In 2008, the PIANC Environment Commission introduced the topic of climate change and explored the, then, current projections likely to affect ports and waterborne transport infrastructure. Since 2008, the Commission completed several major new reports including the 5th assessment report the Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5°C [IPCC SR15, 2018], the Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate [IPCC SROCC, 2019] and the 6th assessment report [IPCC AR6, 2021]. The IPCC reports discuss future climate change effects within a framework of greenhouse gas emissions and concentrations scenarios, originally called Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs) and, more recently, Shared Socio-economic Pathways (SSPs). By relating future climate change effects to such scenarios, unknowns including future decisions by policy makers and uncertainties in the climate system can be accommodated.

This initiative is in response to the California Air Resources Board's (CARB) expanded exhaust emission regulations for vessels calling at ports in the state. https://lnkd.in/d_w4yh84

Are carbon dioxide removal strategies real solutions– or just expensive distractions? During #ClimateWeekNYC, #WHOI President and Director Peter de Menocal made the case for marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR) at an event co-hosted by Ocean Visions and Columbia University’s Sabin Center for Climate Change Law. Pointing out that the world ocean already takes up 25% of excess atmospheric CO2, de Menocal noted the vast potential to scale up mCDR safely and effectively. But he also noted there is no point in mCDR without MRV– monitoring, reporting, and verification. Find out how an ocean “internet of sensors” can make MRV a reality– and mCDR a real solution: https://lnkd.in/eraftu38

The Q-Track Monitor (model 7575) from TSI is an indoor air quality monitor. This particular model comes with a model 982 IAQ probe for CO, CO2, temperature and humidity monitoring.

WATCH: The particle capture efficiency of an air filter is the measure of how effective a filter is at removing particles from the airstream. High-efficiency filters protect people, equipment, and products. -> https://okt.to/UoPJfm. #ParticulateAirFiltration #AirFilters #CamfilAirFilters #Environment #AirQuality #Air #AirFilter #CleanAirSolutions #TakeABreath #CleanAirMatters

🚗 How vehicles as a whole impact the environment – not just the effects of their exhaust emissions – is an increasing area of concern and study. 📗 Read our case study to find out how an analytical system that we custom-built for Emissions Analytics is being used to carry out whole-vehicle analysis of VOCs from exhausts, vehicle interiors and tyres.
