- Ar mais Limpo para LisboaPublication . Ferreira, Francisco; Tente, Hugo; Monjardino, Joana; Mendes, Luísa; CENSE - Centro de Investigação em Ambiente e SustentabilidadeA qualidade do ar ambiente é um dos fatores ambientais de maior preocupação em zonas urbanas. Em Lisboa, continuam a ocorrer ultrapassagens aos valores limite definidos para determinados poluentes, ainda que menos frequentes nos últimos anos. Para garantir a continuidade das trajetórias de poluição descendentes, há que implementar políticas e medidas já identificadas, aproveitando o fôlego dado pelo vislumbre do que foram as cidades sem tráfego rodoviário (como consequência do confinamento imposto pela COVID-19), com maior usufruto do espaço público e com uma boa qualidade do ar.
- Ambiente e saúde globalPublication . Jesus, Ana De; Silva, Bruno Oliveira E; CENSE - Centro de Investigação em Ambiente e Sustentabilidade; Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Faculdade de Ciências Sociais e Humanas, Centro Interdisciplinar de Ciências SociaisWithin the conceptual field of Human Ecology and Health Ecology and analyzing data provided from several institutions such as the European Commission, IPCC; OECD; WHO; UN and the WWF, this essay seeks to contribute to the debate about the impact of environmental degradation on the social determinants of health (food, air, water, housing) and how actions focused on prevention/mitigation of climate change can impact positively both on health issues and the transition to a paradigm of sustainable development. Mutually reinforcing environmental policies and greater environmental responsibility will have an impact in terms of health benefits, while the goal of better health grants greater legitimacy to the prevention of environmental degradation. Building on the indicators that these institutions with international responsibility and relevance have been producing in the last few years as an analytical basis, the advantages of affirming the notion that a good environmental management plays a key role in health protection were identified, sustaining an integrated approach to these themes.
- Solid waste indicators in local sustainability assessment: A literature reviewPublication . Cetrulo, Natália Molina; Cetrulo, Tiago Balieiro; Dias, Sylmara Lopes Francelino Gonçalves; Ramos, Tomás Barros; CENSE - Centro de Investigação em Ambiente e Sustentabilidade; Universidade Estadual de Campinas UNICAMPThe Solid Waste (SW) topic within the local sustainability assessment (LSA) system context remains little explored. This article is a literature review on this topic, with emphasis on the analysis of SW indicators and of systems they concern to. It assessed whether these indicators can represent SW complexity and sustainability aspects. Results in the present review have evidenced that 77.8% of system indicators use at most two SW indicators. Most of these indicators aim at indicating destination stages and the final SW management, environmental sustainability aspects and intermediate magnitude levels in SW management hierarchy. There was evidence of the positive impact of Public participation on the assessed matters. Final considerations present recommendations about SW indicators inclusion in LSA systems.
