“…This hashtag was most strongly connected to the hashtag #solar, which refers to solar energy as a renewable source. It was also linked to the hashtag #climatechange, which expresses the relationship whereby renewable energy sources are used as an important way to decrease greenhouse gas emissions [89][90][91][92]. The hashtags #innovation and #environment, in relation to #energy, have been discussed in previous paragraphs.…”

“…These communities are focused on the influence of energy and renewable energy on climate change. The impact of renewable sources on climate change by means of decreasing greenhouse gas emissions has been proven [89][90][91][92]. These communities mostly connect to the Green Architecture community, as shown in Figure 3.…”

The increasing popularity of social media worldwide provides us with an opportunity to understand social, cultural, and environmental issues about people’s perception of sustainability. The article aims at identifying the main topics of communication related to hashtag # sustainability based on a communication analysis on the Twitter network. We investigated the perception of sustainability using data from 414,926 Twitter interactions by 223,476 users worldwide. The data were recorded between April 17, 2018 and July 12, 2019. We identified Innovation, Environment, Climate Change, Corporate Social Responsibility, Technology, and Energy as key hashtags in the field of sustainability. In conjunction with this, we identified the six following communities: (1) Environmental Sustainability, (2) Sustainability Awareness, (3) Renewable Energy and Climate Change, (4) Innovative Technology, (5) Green Architecture, and (6) Food Sustainability. The usage of these communities is applicable in marketing communication as well as in the Corporate Social Responsibility activities of the given companies. The results of the analysis give the organizations a possible direction for their sustainable business model improvement via the contribution of society´s voice.

“…It should be added that the production of energy from renewable sources is likely to be more decentralised in the future, which may lead to potentially significant changes in the regional economy. Undoubtedly, one should agree with the statement that in the context of the region and its energy transformation, reference should be made to such aspects as employment rates, supply chain analyses, input-output models or economic losses in conventional energy generation sectors due to the growing share of energy production from sources of renewable energy in the structure of local energy production [44]. Renewable energy systems are becoming a strong element of local sustainable development strategies.…”

Energetic and Environmental Aspects of Individual Heat Generation for Sustainable Development at a Local Scale—A Case Study from Poland

2020

The housing sector, especially with respect to energy generation to provide heating and domestic hot water, has been identified, after transport, as contributing the most to air pollution and the occurrence of low emissions in Poland. In particular, this applies to areas where there is a lack of heating and gas networks. This paper presents the results of calculations relating to the emission of atmospheric pollutants (TSP—total suspended particles as particulate matter PM10 and PM2.5, SOx—sulphur dioxide, NOx—nitrogen dioxide, CO—carbon monoxide) from individual sources of heat. The fact that a commune that does not have the network infrastructure, noted above, was taken into consideration, and the structure of heat generation was estimated on the basis of coal, fuel oil and biomass. The analysis was carried out taking into account the variable heat generation structure in households depending on the fuels used, including the heating values of fuels and the efficiency of heating devices. Based on the calculations carried out, an ecological effect was obtained by assuming the replacement of heat sources by devices with higher efficiency and also by considering the possibility of using heat pumps as a zero-emission solution in the households. This article attempts to answer the question posed by municipal authorities on how to limit the negative impact on the environment of individual heating devices in order to achieve sustainable development, including the specific conditions resulting from limited infrastructural opportunities.

“…Since finite fossils fuels have some inherent limitations and drawbacks as they emit GHGs triggering global warming leading to climate change, utilisation of RES for energy generation and production should be a preferred choice. Besides, theoretically and to some extent empirically tested infinite RE promises inclusive economic growth [95].…”

Energy Revolution for Our Common Future: An Evaluation of the Emerging International Renewable Energy Law

et al. 2018

Climate change poses profound threats to the Earth and its people. Its mitigation, therefore, demands common but differentiated actions with comprehensive and coordinated approach. The global community has pledged to mitigate various greenhouse gases in some international soft law instruments. Exploitation of renewables to generate energy and produce electricity is simultaneously suggested for the last couple of decades as a viable alternative in mitigating climate change. This gets momentum with the adoption of the historical and universally ratified Paris Agreement in 2016 where energy is placed at the heart of the Agreement. Energy, where renewable energy is a branch, is generally regulated and governed domestically and so, international legal regime is still evolving in this regard. In the absence of any specific and direct international instrument on energy and renewable energy, published literatures have considered this topic from different directions ranging from climate change to the principle of national sovereignty, economic, trade and investment issues. In this backdrop, this paper aims to introduce various renewable sources, prospects and challenges in their promotion that may help to mitigate the adverse effects of climate change. Relevant international law provisions have been evaluated, performances of the relevant regional and international organizations active in this sector are highlighted and some of the disputes in this area considered in international forums are duly addressed. It is revealed that strong political will of the global community in fulfilling their commitments made so far in different international forums is the key to transforming the world into a better one for the future generation.
