Produktbeschreibung

Climate change and its impacts are well known, and it is not hard to see the effects of climate change vulnerability to daily lives in many parts of the world. The need to assess and reduce carbon footprint is not specific to any industrial sector; rather it is an imperative to all aspects of industry. To that end, this book offers case studies detailing methods and best practices toward the assessment of carbon footprint in various industrial spaces. The chapters here highlight the urgency of measuring and alleviating the climate change impacts for various industrial sectors, and together they offer an overview of the current state of research on carbon footprint assessment in different industries ranging from textiles, agriculture, logistics, wine production, and more.
