The climate scenarios that form the basis for current risk assessments have no assigned probabilities, and this impedes analysis of future risks. This paper proposes an approach to estimate probability carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration used in key change modeling experiments. It computes CO2 emissions compatible with concentrations prescribed by Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (C...

Environmental aspects plays a central role in environmental management system (EMS) because it is the basis for the identification of an organization’s environmental targets. The existing methods for the assessment of environmental aspects are grouped into three categories: risk assessment-based (RA-based), LCA-based and criterion-based methods. To combine the benefits of these three categories...

The inclusion of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in climate mitigation pathways is critical and can be reached by assessing their consequences through the deployment appropriate indicators to that end. Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) are important tools for understanding possible impacts caused adopting new policies. We investigate terrestrial biodiversity trends (life on land: SDG 15)...

Today’s e-learning systems meet the challenge to provide interactive, personalized environments that support self-regulated learning as well as social collaboration and simulation. At the same time assessment procedures have to be adapted to the new learning environments by moving from isolated summative assessments to integrated assessment forms. Therefore, learning experiences enriched with c...
