They can capture environmental pressures and impacts of biomass production and extraction, as well as provide comparable per capita values disclosing how biomass use is distributed globally. As such, footprints could help…Best Practice for Right to Repair and Supply Chain Regulations: High-reparability Modular Smartphone Usage Model Mitigates Environmental Hotspots
Two-thirds of the global population own mobile phones or smartphones. Yet their short service life—often limited to just a few years—leads to frequent replacements, excessive raw material consumption, and rising electronic waste. This study evaluates the environmental benefits of a highly modular…Arsenic leakage crisis in supply chain of battery storage materials: Water quality footprint of cobalt mining demands action
Uncontrolled mine site leakage poses massive indirect environmental pollution, particularly when harmful substances, like arsenic, infiltrate water bodies, affecting humans. Arsenic contamination, recognized as a severe environmental catastrophe, exemplifies the water quality footprint from a…The global water resources and use model WaterGAP v2.2e: description and evaluation of modifications and new features
Water – Global Assessment and Prognosis (WaterGAP) is a modeling approach for quantifying water resources and water use for all land areas of the Earth that has served science and society since 1996. In this paper, the refinements, new algorithms, and new data of the most recent model version v2.2e…Umweltpsychologie - Mensch-Umwelt-Systeme verstehen
Klimakatastrophe, Umweltkrisen, Ressourcenknappheit – und das alles mit uns Menschen mittendrin, als zentrale Ursache, aber auch als Betroffene. Wie konnte es dazu kommen und wie kommen wir da wieder heraus? Um Mensch-Umwelt-Systeme zu verstehen, bietet die Umweltpsychologie wertvolle Ansätze. Was…
