passive solar building design, windows, walls, and floors are made to collect, store, reflect, and distribute solar energy, in the form of heat in the winter and reject solar heat in the summer.
Passive House
Passive House is a building design and construction standard that aims to create highly energy-efficient and comfortable buildings with minimal energy consumption
Passive cooling
Passive cooling refers to techniques and strategies used to cool indoor spaces without relying on mechanical or electrical systems, such as air conditioners.
Paris Agreement
Paris Agreement is an international treaty adopted in December 2015 under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
Overconsumption
Overconsumption refers to the excessive and unsustainable consumption of goods, resources, and services beyond what is necessary for basic needs or personal well-being.
Organic farming
Organic farming is a method of agricultural production that excludes the use of synthetic substances, such as pesticides, synthetic medicines or fertilisers, and genetically modified organisms.
Organic certification
Organic certification is a certification process for producers of organic food and other organic agricultural products, in the European Union more commonly known as ecological or biological products
Offshore wind energy
Offshore wind power or offshore wind energy is the energy taken from the force of the winds out at sea, transformed into electricity and supplied into the electricity network onshore
Ocean acidification
Ocean acidification refers to a reduction in the pH of the ocean over an extended period of time, caused primarily by uptake of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere.
Net zero emissions
Net zero emissions is the balance between the amount of greenhouse gas (GHG) that's produced and the amount that's removed from the atmosphere.
Natural resources
Natural resources are resources that are drawn from nature and used with few modifications.
Natural disasters
Natural disaster is the highly harmful impact on a society or community following a natural hazard event.
Natural capital accounting
Natural capital accounting is the process of calculating the total stocks and flows of natural resources and services in a given ecosystem or region.
Natural capital
Natural capital is the world's stock of natural resources, which includes geology, soils, air, water and all living organisms.
Microgrid
Microgrid is a local electrical grid with defined electrical boundaries, acting as a single and controllable entity.
Microgeneration
Microgeneration is the small-scale production of heat or electric power from a "low carbon source," as an alternative or supplement to traditional centralized grid-connected power
Marine conservation
Marine conservation, also known as ocean conservation, is the protection and preservation of ecosystems in oceans and seas through planned management in order to prevent the over-exploitation of these marine resources.
Low-carbon economy
Low-carbon economy or decarbonised economy is an economy based on energy sources that produce low levels of greenhouse gas emissions.
Life cycle assessment (LCA)
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a methodology used to evaluate the environmental impacts of a product, process, or service throughout its entire life cycle, from raw material extraction to disposal.
Life cycle analysis (LCA)
Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) is a methodology used to assess the environmental impact of a product, process, or service throughout its entire life cycle, from raw material extraction to disposal.
