The impact of renewable energy and non-renewable energy to create a sustainable environment in the UAE

There is no doubt that the synergy between the environment and energy is more pronounced than it has ever been before. There exist a multiplicity of complex linkages between climatic conditions and the use of energy within the environment. Over dependence of fossil fuels and the global fuel crisis coupled with the growing global population sums up the critical challenges suffered in the energy sector (Berinstein, 2001). Human activities also play a critical role in influencing environmental sustainability. These factors put a strain on energy resources. Many scientific studies have shown that energy use has a direct impact on the atmosphere and climatic ...

Introduction

One of the primary factors that influence the public transportation sector in Saudi Arabia is the low petrol prices. Saudi Arabia is well known for its abundance of oil. Given that it’s one of the global suppliers of oil, petrol in the country is very cheap. The low prices make it more desirable for the public to use private transportation since it is affordable and this may not change anytime soon. Nonetheless, Saudi Arabia still has a public transport network.
It is, therefore, essential to look into the economic and societal impact public transportation has on the Saudi ...

Abstract

Apparently the multiple dimensions of environmental management concerns for countries with multi-tiered systems of governance were far less understood approximately twenty five years ago. It was thereby important for the government to impose regulations that have the ability to assess and bypass thornier intergovernmental issues with respect to its ability to protect sensitive environments and introduce strategies for growth and expansion.
In this context the term “disaster resistant community” holds good as opposed to “Disaster Resilient Community” and there are very specific issues why Webstar defines ‘Resilience’ as the ability to recover from or adjust easily from a calamity ...

Introduction

When looked at from a life cycle perspective, international shipping is an activity that causes enormous damage to the environment. Furthermore, international shipping is widely accepted since it’s the cheapest mode of transport, large manufacturers greatly depend on these shipping lines. Consequently, the wide use of shipping lines globally leads to massive environmental pollution not only during their operation time but also including the times these vessels are being made (Therivel, 2004). During their manufacture, large quantities of raw materials are being extracted from the environment; moreover, the processes involved also pollute the environment (Schryver, 2010).

A Dissertation Proposal

Overview
The interest of international law includes the improvement of the condition and welfare of orphans around the world. Moreover, religion also emphasized the importance of looking after the less fortunate children apart from the concerns expressed in the international treaties. In fact, the Quran mentioned about the orphans several times more than any other religious texts. The rationale behind it is that the older society encompasses a kind of injustice and oppression towards the vulnerable members of the society such as children, women and elderly. This is because of the mindset of the people in older society, which ...

Anti-terrorism legislation involves various types of laws that are passed in order to fight terrorism. The international measures that were introduced to combat terrorism in America after the 2001 terrorist attack has led to serious consequences and armed conflicts around the globe.

The implementations have fueled the increase of racism in the continent where Americans have been branded racists. In America, there has been an increase in the hard security approach to conflicts, which ...

Abstract

The research proposal outlines the significance and need for adopting alternate sources of energy. The most abundantly available and inexhaustible source of energy is the solar energy. Sun provides 100,000 TW of energy to the earth which is much greater than the present amount of energy consumption which is 13 TW (Gratzel, 2007). A lot of research has been carried out to trap the solar energy and convert it to other usable forms. Though it is quite a difficult task, advancements in technology have enabled trapping of this natural resource possible. Our present energy needs could be met if ...

Human trafficking is defined as the recruitment, transportation, harbouring or receipt of individuals by means of coercion, abduction, deception, fraud or abuse of power of a state of vulnerability for the aim of exploitation. It is estimated that over 600,000 to 800,000 individuals (men, women and children) are trafficked across borders each year. Trafficking victims suffer physiological and physical harm. The issue of language barrier, insufficient knowledge about the law and the frequency that trafficking takes place presents authorities with significant challenges in aiding victims and bringing traffickers to justice.

Renewable energy independent power producers in South Africa: The analysis of financial mechanisms for small and medium enterprises

With the increased cost of power production and generation in most countries across the world, particularly the developed and developing ones, the global countries have found it necessary to major in renewable sources of energy, especially, considering the fact that this will not only reduce the cost of power production, but also the risk of power depletion from the sources (for example, oil fuel as a source of power) (Wirth, 2012, p. 214). One of the countries that have adopted this strategy includes South Africa, which is one of the fastest growing economies, not only in Africa, but also in ...

Reciprocity of Marketing & Culture

INTRODUCTION
The growing interdependence of global markets has made a more compelling case for culture as an increasingly significant variable in marketing efforts. For one, products and services produced at a global scale find more diverse platforms, particularly across virtual media. The pace, scale and content of products and/or services are, moreover, making an increasing case for more standardized offerings across different marketing contexts. Typically, consumer behavior metrics – including, most notably, conventional market research and more innovative approaches as data analytics platforms and applications – are adopted in order to identify consumer behaviors and needs. This approach to consumer behavior ...

Problem statement

Azerbaijan like many countries in the world is dependent on fossil fuels as a source of its energy. Being a fossil fuel rich country, fossil fuels are widely used to produce majority of the energy needed in the country. However, fossil fuels have a number of problems associated with them. They are a finite resource and human beings are using them at a much faster rate than the earth can replace them. Therefore, in the future humans will deplete all natural occurring fossil fuels (Michaelides, 2012). Furthermore, carbon compound makes up fossil fuels. This implies that burning up fossil ...

However, there is another opinion claiming that the impact of a restaurant on the environment depends on ...

Introduction

The effects of accumulated carbon in the atmosphere are now evident in almost every part of the world. As a result, there is need for a collective approach towards implementing strategies that will help reduce such accumulated carbon. Since it is virtually impossible to reduce the already available carbon in the atmosphere, the best approach in this case is thus concentrating on limiting emission from the most common sources (Armaroli, & Balzani, 2011). This proposal thus presents installation of solar panels to harness solar energy with an aim of making the same the most preferred source of energy.

Introduction/Background Information

The high population growth rate and industrialization have predisposed the entire globe to an acute problem of power shortage. The increases in human population lead to higher demands for power since more industries get established to cushion people against any impending challenge of power shortage. Thus, the reliability of power is inherent to the methods of transmission used, efficiency of such methods, economies associated with these methods, safety measures, and the nature and state of materials used in the direct transmission of energy (Melhem, 2013). Current energy transmissions system relies on long-distance transmission lines since electricity is not necessarily ...
