“…Uma das formas de se contabilizar, na literatura, a Análise do Ciclo de Vida (ACV) tem sido o método do cálculo da pegada de carbono (Campos, et al, 2023;Lenzen, et al, 2018;Pandey, et al, 2011). No entanto, em aplicações relacionadas ao turismo, alguns autores sugerem aplicações híbridas de ACV com outros métodos, visando o dimensionamento adequado das emissões indiretas (Filimonau, et al, 2014;Cadarso, et al, 2015;Sharp, et al, 2016;Pereira, et al, 2017;Shi & Yu, 2021;Platts, et al, 2023).…”

Uma parcela significativa da pegada de carbono global tem o transporte turístico como origem. Porém, ainda são necessários mais estudos sobre o turismo de negócios. Portanto, este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar uma análise comparativa das emissões de carbono equivalentes oriundas das escolhas modais de um participante se deslocando de Goiânia ao Rio de Janeiro, para participar do 20o Rio de Transportes. Para isso, aplicou-se um método avançado de Avaliação do Ciclo de Vida (ACV) baseado na abordagem híbrida ACV- DESNZ, capaz de avaliar as emissões de gases diretas e indiretas. Cinco cenários foram elaborados levando em consideração as alternativas de transportes e os combustíveis mais comuns para esta viagem. Os resultados mostram que viajar de ônibus emite apenas 20% das emissões de Gases do Efeito Estufa (GEE) de viagens de avião com escalas. A ACV ainda ratificou que as emissões de GEE ‘indiretas’ deste turismo de negócios são significativas, enfatizando a importância de sua incorporação em futuras avaliações de impacto. Além disso, reflete-se sobre as emissões daqueles que assistiram ao evento de forma virtual.

“…Currently, the area cultivated with coffee in Galapagos is around 723 ha [51], with a potential to store up to 15 x 103 Megagrams of assimilated carbon. The CO2 footprint of Galapagos is mainly produced by tourism and has been estimated to be 523 x103 Mg/year [52,53]. This means the transition to agroforestry systems that include native species such as S. pedunculata could reduce the local footprint by -1.062% in a timeframe of 10 years (S2 Table ).…”

Scalesia pendunculata Hook.f. is the dominant tree in several highlands’ areas of the Galapagos Archipelago, yet in inhabited islands the conversion to agricultural fields has reduced its cover. The transition to agroforestry systems including the species shows promising scenarios to restore its cover and to provide ecosystem services such as carbon sequestration. Here, based on field gathered data, we model the potential contribution of S. pedunculata stands in the carbon sequestration of Galapagos. Between 2013–2021, 426 S. pedunculata seedlings were planted in the highlands of Santa Cruz and Floreana islands using several restoration technologies, and their height and survival were monitored every three months. A sub-sample of 276 trees alive since 2020 was used to estimate the DBH based on plant age and height. Based on scientific literature, biomass and carbon content were estimated across time. The final modelling included the density of plants in the restoration sites, estimated DBH, potential survival by restoration treatment, and a Brownian noise to add stochastic events. Overall, survival of S. pedunculata was high in control and slightly increased by most restoration treatments. A stand of 530 trees/ha was projected to sequester ~21 Mg C/ha in 10 years. If this is replicated over all Galapagos coffee production would contribute to the reduction of -1.062% of the Galapagos carbon footprint for the same period. This study adds to compiling benefits of restoring Galapagos flora.
