COVID-19 pandemic has lead to societal transformation in terms of economic, social, and environmental behaviours. Like other countries, Turkey has suffered from the pandemic. The aim of this study was to investigate the impacts of COVID-19 on the following major indicators: total hours worked by...

Background: Aircraft cabins are special environments. Passengers sit in close proximity in a space with low pressure that they cannot leave. The cabin is ventilated with a mixture of outside and recirculated air. The volume of outside air impacts the carbon footprint of flying. Higher...

Voluntary carbon offset (VCO) programs give air travelers opportunities to neutralize their carbon footprint. Despite its potential, few existing studies have explained how to present VCOs that can effectively appeal to the sensibilities of travelers in different conditions. We designed three...

In July 2022, the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene Green Task Force advocated to acknowledge the health impacts of climate change, particularly on those in low- and middle-income countries, and called on global health organizations to act. Simultaneously, academic medical centers...

The aim of this study was to estimate the CO₂ emissions associated with external speaker travel for Medical Grand Rounds (MGR) at an academic medical center before and after the COVID-19 pandemic. The study included 60 external speakers (n=29 in-person; n=31 virtual) out of 101 MGR during the...

The climate impact from international aviation was 2.4% of the world's total climate impact in 2018, and is expected to grow. International regulation of this impact is not aligned with trajectories to stay below 1.5°C of global warming. Conventional approaches to allocating climate impact to...

Tourism is a socio-economic activity of great importance for coastal tourist destinations, but when not developed on a sustainable basis, it can contribute to ongoing climate change by increasing the sector's carbon dioxide (CO2) footprint. Cajueiro da Praia (PI) is an emerging coastal destination...

This study conducts in-depth research on geographic information visualization and the sustainable development of low-carbon rural slow tourism under artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze and discuss the visualization of geographic information and the sustainable development of low-carbon slow...

This study mainly analysed the dynamic change of carbon footprint of urban tourism transportation in Shandong Province from 2010 to 2019 and calculated the carbon footprint changes of the highway, railway, waterway, and civil aviation transport using the 'bottom-up' method. The results showed...

Air transport challenges the world's net-zero carbon ambitions. The sector has consistently grown and causes warming as a result of both CO₂ and other, short-lived emissions. Two principal solutions have been proposed to reduce the contribution of aviation to climate change: innovations of...
