Sustainable development strives to fulfill present human needs while safeguarding the ability of future generations to meet their own requirements. Climate change is frequently identified as a major obstacle to realizing this goal. Our current dependence on fossil fuels for energy production is the primary contributor to global climate change. The pivotal solution lies in transitioning to sustainable energy generation by using natural resources like the sun, water, wind, biomass, and others. This shift is fundamental to mitigating climate change and preserving the environment. Utilizing these sources instead of fossil fuels markedly diminishes greenhouse gas emissions, helps in the establishment of a carbon-free global economy. This special edition in Comptes Rendus Chimie (CRC) delves into recent research exploring the role of natural materials, particularly waste, in the production of sustainable energy and environmental protection against both gaseous and liquid pollutants.

“…The country has signed international commitments according to EU directives to align with the European Union (EU) to mitigate CO 2 emissions in the transportation sector. This includes complying with regulations such as the EU's Clean Vehicles Directive to achieve the EU's overall emission reduction targets [40,41].…”

The CO2 reduction promise must be widely adopted if governments are to decrease future emissions and alter the trajectory of urban mobility. However, from a long-term perspective, the strategic vision of CO2 mitigation is driven by inherent uncertainty and unanticipated volatility. As these issues emerge, they have a considerable impact on the future trends produced by a number of exogenous and endogenous factors, including Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Environmental, and Legal aspects (PESTEL). This study’s goal is to identify, categorize, and analyze major PESTEL factors that have an impact on the dynamics of urban mobility in a rapidly changing environment. For the example scenario of the city of Larissa, Greece, a Fuzzy Cognitive Map (FCM) approach was employed to examine the dynamic interactions and behaviors of the connected criteria from the previous PESTEL categories. An integrative strategy that evaluates the interaction of linguistic evaluations in the FCM is used to include all stakeholders in the creation of a Decision Support System (DSS). The methodology eliminates the uncertainty brought on by a dearth of quantitative data. The scenarios in the study strands highlight how urbanization’s effects on sustainable urban transportation and the emergence of urban PESTEL actors impact on CO2 reduction decision-making. We focus on the use case of Larissa, Greece (the city of the CIVITAS program), which began putting its sustainable urban development plan into practice in 2015. The proposed decision-making tool uses analytics and optimization algorithms to point responsible authorities and decision-makers in the direction of Larissa’s sustainable urban mobility and eventually the decarbonization of the urban and suburban regions.

“…Quanto aos quatro tipos de enfoques de pesquisa utilizados nessa revisão, a maioria dos artigos enquadram-se na Análise de Sistemas de AIA/LA (18); seguidos da Análises de Casos (12); Discussão de Métodos e Ferramentas (5) e Análise da Qualidade de Documentos (5) (Gráfico 1). No que diz respeito à análise de sistemas de AIA/LA destacam-se estudos empíricos descritivos em diferentes contextos Brasil, África do Sul, Chile, Grécia e Polônia, em que são avaliados a efetividade do sistema (KAHANGIRWE; VANCLAY, 2022;NAKWAYA-JACOBUS et al, 2021;PAPAMICHAEL et al, 2023) e as percepções dos atores envolvidos (FISCHER et al, 2023;NUNES et al, 2019;ROOS et al, 2020). De modo geral, os estudos convergem ao diagnosticar os problemas na AIA/LA: pouca participação pública, ausência de análises de alternativas, dificuldades de aplicação da legislação na prática, baixa influência da AIA/LA na tomada de decisão em favor de interesses políticos e/ou econômicos.…”

A Avaliação de Impacto Ambiental está presente em mais de 180 países, sendo um dos instrumentos de política ambiental mais influentes no mundo. O propósito desse instrumento é avaliar e mitigar os impactos de empreendimentos que podem causar danos socioambientais. No Brasil vincula-se ao processo de licenciamento ambiental. Contudo, a efetividade do processo de avaliação de impactos ambientais é questionada globalmente, sendo necessárias pesquisas empíricas que evidenciem quais são as lacunas do conhecimento, as fragilidades e as recomendações para aprimoramento. Nesse sentido, esta pesquisa pretende analisar o processo de avaliação de impactos ambientais no contexto do licenciamento ambiental brasileiro. Os procedimentos metodológicos foram divididos em 3 etapas: revisão sistemática da literatura, análise documental de 26 processos de licenciamento ambiental de parcelamento de solo urbano e aplicação de questionário estruturado para analistas ambientais. Os resultados encontrados neste trabalho demonstram que a produção científica recente tem dado maior enfoque na análise dos problemas dos sistemas de avaliação de impacto ambiental, que as medidas mitigadoras dos impactos socioambientais não estão sendo executadas e que os analistas ambientais têm uma percepção negativa do processo de licenciamento ambiental, embora acreditem que ele possa contribuir para proteção ambiental. Considerando as externalidades negativas para sociedade que os empreendimentos podem causar caso os mecanismos de controle ambiental não operem de forma satisfatória, o aperfeiçoamento dos processos de avaliações de impactos ambientais deve ser contínuo e com embasamento técnico, garantida a transparência e participação da sociedade.
