Environmental Management Systems 1st part Autumn Semester 2009 Jenő Miklós SUDA, PhD Dept. Fluid Mechanics („AE” building) Faculty of Mechanical Engineering Based on: „Training for the Future”, „Course for sustainability”

Summary Environmental Management Systems 1) Background Biosphere (natural & artificial) Stages of environment (micro-, mezo-, macro-) Environmental pollution Process elements (source-emission-transmission-immission) Environmental protection activities (decrease, prevention, protection) Tasks of environmental protection activity 1. prevention 2. restoration / abatement of the caused damage 3. development / transformation / alteration of the environment 4. managing resources

Summary Environmental Management Systems 2) Scientific facts on main influencing parameters The Earth as a unique planet, structure of the atmosphere… Main areas of the environmental protection activity: - air pollution protection - water pollution protection - noise protection - soil protection - waste management Main parameters of global changes: - air (quality) and trends in climate changes - water (quality) - biodiversity - population - energy consumption

Summary Environmental Management Systems 3) focusing on „Sustainable development” (SD) „Economic and social development that meet the needs of the current generation without undermining the ability of future generations to meet their own needs” formulated in 1987 by the World Commission on Environment and Development, otherwise known as the Brundtland Commission Three pillars of SD: Economic (financial capital) Environmental (natural capital) Social (human capital)

Summary Environmental Management Systems 4) Historical background (main events) from 1970 (Earth Day) to 2005 (Kyoto Convention came into force) 5) Main actors (role, task) - governments - local authorities - industry and business - non-governmental organizations - international governmental organizations

Summary Environmental Management Systems 6) „Thinking long term” (main events) - trends in consumption and global changes (demands / resources) - carrying capacity: „footprint” concept - long term influences – long term strategies - developing a strategy - research - improve efficiency - changing from fossil to non-fossil energy sources (renewable) - thinking and acting long term 7) Global environmental trends - air (quality) and climate changes - water (quality) - biodiversity - population - energy consumption
