“…They show, as expected, that the highest air pollution concentrations due to ship exhaust are found near major shipping lanes and harbors, but also that considerable concentrations of NO2 and PM reach populated land areas. This effect is pronounced in the south-western Baltic Sea area (Quante et al, 2021). Exact numbers from such modelling should still be interpreted with care, as shown by Karl et al (2019a), who compared output from three state-of-the-art chemistry transport models for the Baltic Sea area.…”

“…To better address exposure and health impacts of shipping emissions more studies are required like those of Ramacher et al (2019) and Barregard et al (2019), especially at the harbour and city scale. Better knowledge and reduced uncertainties will improve quantification of air pollution as part of the environmental imprint of shipping in the Baltic Sea region, as developed by Moldanová et al (2021).…”

Abstract. Based on the Baltic Earth Assessment Reports of this thematic issue in Earth System Dynamics and recent peer-reviewed literature, current knowledge about the effects of global warming on past and future changes in climate of the Baltic Sea region is summarized and assessed. The study is an update of the Second Assessment of Climate Change (BACC II) published in 2015 and focusses on the atmosphere, land, cryosphere, ocean, sediments and the terrestrial and marine biosphere. Based on the summaries of the recent knowledge gained in paleo-, historical and future regional climate research, we find that the main conclusions from earlier assessments remain still valid. However, new long-term, homogenous observational records, e.g. for Scandinavian glacier inventories, sea-level driven saltwater inflows, so-called Major Baltic Inflows, and phytoplankton species distribution and new scenario simulations with improved models, e.g. for glaciers, lake ice and marine food web, have become available. In many cases, uncertainties can now be better estimated than before, because more models can be included in the ensembles, especially for the Baltic Sea. With the help of coupled models, feedbacks between several components of the Earth System have been studied and multiple driver studies were performed, e.g. projections of the food web that include fisheries, eutrophication and climate change. New data sets and projections have led to a revised understanding of changes in some variables such as salinity. Furthermore, it has become evident that natural variability, in particular for the ocean on multidecadal time scales, is greater than previously estimated, challenging our ability to detect observed and projected changes in climate. In this context, the first paleoclimate simulations regionalized for the Baltic Sea region are instructive. Hence, estimated uncertainties for the projections of many variables increased. In addition to the well-known influence of the North Atlantic Oscillation, it was found that also other low-frequency modes of internal variability, such as the Atlantic Multidecadal Variability, have profound effects on the climate of the Baltic Sea region. Challenges were also identified, such as the systematic discrepancy between future cloudiness trends in global and regional models and the difficulty of confidently attributing large observed changes in marine ecosystems to climate change. Finally, we compare our results with other coastal sea assessments, such as the North Sea Region Climate Change Assessment (NOSCCA) and find that the effects of climate change on the Baltic Sea differ from those on the North Sea, since Baltic Sea oceanography and ecosystems are very different from other coastal seas such as the North Sea. While the North Sea dynamics is dominated by tides, the Baltic Sea is characterized by brackish water, a perennial vertical stratification in the southern sub-basins and a seasonal sea ice cover in the northern sub-basins.

“…Although the study considered four footprint components in its calculations (travel, food and beverage consumption, event infrastructure and waste), the total footprint impact of the average event participant was approximately nine times the average "planetary rate" per person per day (i.e., 0.0049 gha). This technique is able to show the association between different types of factual consumption [8][9][10].…”

This paper analyzes the main environmental factors in the current period, focusing on some main man-made environmental impacts during major sports events. For these problems, we will use the method of ecological footprint to explore specific directions and causes. How consumers can properly use land resources to achieve environmentally friendly guidelines is a goal to be explored. At the same time, this paper will pay more attention to whether the environment people live in the society will have a certain impact on nature, mainly focusing on some studies in the living area. However, ecological footprint is not the only comprehensive measurement method, there are some limitations. This article will not focus on any one Olympic Games, but will analyze and discuss different Olympic Games in different periods for the same problem. The main analysis of the article will have a lot to do with the football field, and some references will be made here because our focus is not just on the Olympic Games.

The word sustainable became more and more important in maritime affairs especially in shipping. It has strong impact on environmental, social and economic sector. Throughout the years the number of researches on sustainable shipping has increased and became often represented in scientific articles. Through the authors’ science mapping, it could be noticed that many papers on this topic were elaborated on and were given the systematic literature review for the period of ten years, precisely 2009-2019. In this paper, authors try to research how many articles with the term sustainable shipping had been published in the last two years. The term sustainable shipping was searched in keywords, publication titles and abstracts. The research resulted in 35 selected papers. The obtained scientific papers are categorized according to the following: Web of science Categories, Web of Science Index, Paper Document, Open Access, Research Area and Countries. The paper will try to give future research directions how to easily categorize hot research topics in the domain of the word sustainable or any other, which is of author’s interests.
