“…Many research reports revealed a vast amount of organic and inorganic compounds discharge into environment due to human activities, dangerous for our ecosystem. Oil contaminated sites and waste of industries as well as other activities causing significant environmental risk [15]. Globally petroleum hydrocarbon is used as a primary source of energy, resulting from significant in environmental pollution.…”

Petroleum hydrocarbons are classified into four major groups, saturated aromatic-ringed hydrocarbons (branched, unbranched and cyclic structures) such as polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), mono aromatic hydrocarbons (MAHs), polar oil surface structures, resins dissipated in aromatics and saturates. Biodegradation is a treatment method used to remove a wide range of contaminants, including petroleum hydrocarbon-contaminants from soil [2].

“…Environmental disasters always occur when the balance of the environment is disturbed. The worst thing is that they can strike anytime and anywhere on the earth without warning and strike at any time of the day or night [9]. The turbulence caused by rough sewage silts the water, causing less sunlight to enter, which affects the amount of photosynthesis, leading to a decrease in dissolved oxygen.…”

Our paper focuses on studying the development and implementation of a comprehensive environmental safety assessment and mitigation strategy for countries of origin and destination of environmental migration. Environmental migration represents one of the key threats to the security of regions and countries and is linked to their sustainable development (or lack thereof). Moreover, it is also connected to many important social, economic as well as demographic outcomes. Global warming caused by human activities is already having a major impact on the planet and is likely to render parts of the world uninhabitable, leading to migration, displacement, and planned resettlement. The goal of the paper is also to assess the impact of future migration due to the global warming and climate change. The results of the paper demonstrate that climate impacts can trigger migration and change population distribution within the next few decades. It is also clear that migration caused by the environmental factors (such as droughts, floods, higher temperature sand more extreme weather events) would inevitably lead to the geopolitical changes with long-range impacts and effects.

“…The European Union has pioneered in creating sustainable ports by implementing policies like energy efficiency and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions (Di Vaio & Varriale, 2018). EU Regulation No.2015/575 focused on monitoring and reporting carbon dioxide emissions from maritime transport (Sharma & Das, 2020). Ιn 2018, EU implemented a Monitoring, Reporting and Verification scheme for voyages, to and from European ports, according to which shipping companies shall report on GHG.…”

Sea ports and the shipping industry are crucial elements of the international supply chain. Over the last years there has been a growing awareness on the environmental impact of port operations and development. The development of port industry can have a substantial environmental impact. Sustainability is expressed in economic, environmental, and social dimension. The major impacts are on air pollution and especially greenhouse gas emission, the water pollution and the health effects. International policy instruments and governments are crucial factors defining the actions of ports, which are expected to enhance environmental management and reduce the harm of shipping activities. This paper focuses on the environmental dimension and the attempts to reduce the GHG emissions in line with the Paris Agreement and the 2030 UN SDGs. The attention of European Union regulatory environmental framework is laid in the reduction in the sulphur content of certain liquid fuels, the framework for port reception facilities for the delivery of waste from ships, and the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure. The European Green Deal aims to a 90% reduction in the transport emissions by 2050.
