Public Perception and Awareness on Climate Changes and the Importance of Renewable Energy Sources

Abstract

Serbia, as a developing country and EU accession country, faces many challenges. One of the key areas identified as the most complicated problem in the negotiation process is the issues of environmental protection and improvement, including the energy sector. Since population in Serbia is concerned because of poor living standards, high unemployment rate, and other social issues it could be questioned what is their concern and awareness about climate change since it is a realistic and visible phenomenon that is hard for someone to ignore and neglect. This paper presents some of the results of a survey conducted among adults in rural and urban parts of the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina on their perception, awareness, and knowledge about climate change issues. The research/survey also examined the specific actions that respondents would take as a personal contribution to mitigating the effects of climate problems. The results indicate that respondents have a high awareness of climate change, but the knowledge on climate change is relatively low even though the respondents graduated from faculty (about 52%).

Analysis of CO2 Migration in Horizontal Saline Aquifers during Carbon Capture and Storage Process

“…During injection, CO 2 forms a plume which spreads in lateral directions and the evolution of the plume can vary depending on the aquifer properties. While CO 2 is trapped beneath a caprock due to residual trapping, in horizontal caprock formations the plume will spread laterally, the sharp edge of which can be determined by Equation (1). The aquifer's porosity and CO 2 viscosity will be the predominant influences on the plume's evolution, and while other parameters can make a considerable impact, their values do not vary drastically from aquifer to aquifer.…”

“…Despite being a trace element, carbon dioxide is an important component of the Earth's atmosphere [1]. It is a key factor of the planet's greenhouse effect [1,2].…”

“…Despite being a trace element, carbon dioxide is an important component of the Earth's atmosphere [1]. It is a key factor of the planet's greenhouse effect [1,2]. The issue with atmospheric CO 2 is that today's concentrations are 150% of its value, which is more than half of that a century ago, and they are still rising.…”

The Impact of Surrogate Advertising on Public Perception and Awareness on Chhattisgarh with Special Reference to Raipur.

“…The selection of participants was random to ensure a representative sample of the population, encompassing a broad range of age groups, genders, educational backgrounds, and socioeconomic statuses (Ryu & Min, 2020). This diversity in sampling was essential to gain insights from different perspectives and to ensure the generalizability of the findings (Vujic et al, 2020). Data collection integrated both primary and secondary sources.…”
