(author), Vojinovic, Zoran (author), Plavšić, Jasna (author), Curran, Alex (author), Rosic, Nikola (author), Pudar, Ranko (author), Savic, Dragan (author), Brdjanovic, Damir (author)Flooding is expected to increase due to climate change, urbanisation, and land use change. To address this issue, Nature-Based Solutions (NBSs) are often adopted as innovative and sustainable flood risk management methods. Besides the flood risk reduction benefits, NBSs offer co-benefits for the environment and society. However, these co...journal article 2024

Tran-Thi, Anh Phuong (author), Nguyen-Phuoc, Duy Quy (author), Phan, Tho Cao (author), Oviedo-Trespalacios, O. (author)Introduction: Responsible businesses actively engage in climate action, health, and safety initiatives as part of their corporate strategy. The outcomes of such initiatives could play an essential role in forming customers' loyalty. However, very few studies have aimed at understanding the relationship among such factors in the public...journal article 2024

Bhambhani, A. (author), Jovanovic, O. (author), van Nieuwenhuijzen, Arjen (author), van der Hoek, J.P. (author), Kapelan, Z. (author)Resources recovery can improve the economic efficiency and reduce the negative environmental impacts of municipal wastewater treatment plants (MWWTP). The recovered resources can also actively benefit the natural environment enabling a reciprocal relationship between human society and nature. Focusing on these benefits can reveal new resources...journal article 2024

Mellouli, Sehl (author), Janssen, M.F.W.H.A. (author), Ojo, Adegboyega (author)Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly adopted by public sector organizations to provide better public services and to transform their internal processes. AI is now considered a key enabler for digital innovation and transformation in the public sector. However, AI is still relatively a new research area in the field of digital...journal article 2024

Subraveti, Sai Gokul (author), Rodríguez Angel, Elda (author), Ramirez, Andrea (author), Roussanaly, Simon (author)Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is an essential technology to mitigate global CO2 emissions from power and industry sectors. Despite the increasing recognition of its importance to achieve the net-zero target, current CCS deployment is far behind targeted ambitions. A key reason is that CCS is often perceived as too expensive. The costs of CCS...journal article 2023

Yang, Shengnan (author), Ruangpan, L. (author), Torres, Arlex Sanchez (author), Vojinovic, Zoran (author)Urbanization and climate change are producing an escalation in the prevalence of urban problems, particularly those connected to flooding, prompting authorities and stakeholders to recognize the need for sustainable solutions. Nature-Based Solutions are progressively replacing traditional engineering solutions as an alternative since they are...journal article 2023

Mi, Jie (author), Zhang, Min (author), Zhu, Zhenchang (author), Vuik, V. (author), Wen, Jiahong (author), Gao, Hongkai (author), Bouma, Tjeerd J. (author)The risk of coastal storm flooding is deteriorating under global warming, especially for the heavily urbanized deltaic cities, like Shanghai. The Nature-Based Flood Defense (NBFD), as an eco-friendly design alternative for hard infrastructure against coastal flooding, is gaining attention. Nevertheless, the vulnerability of saltmarsh due to...journal article 2022

Ale, B.J.M. (author), Hartford, Des N.D. (author), Slater, David H. (author)Legacy risks from infrastructures and industrial installations often reveal themselves when a potential for failure has been discovered much later than at the stage of the design and construction of a structure. In which case, there might already be a problem with the legacy installation, or even a crisis, without having had an accident. When...journal article 2021

Ale, B.J.M. (author), Hartford, Des N.D. (author), Slater, David H. (author)The assumption that risk, represented as an expected value of the loss could be implied to be a measure of safety, in a cost benefit analysis, is firmly entrenched in economic risk analysis. However, this does not mean that without a marker, the value of a loss, can be established with any necessary level of certainty to make such a cost...journal article 2021

(author)The objective of this paper is to compare, under Dutch market conditions, the energy consumption and net costs of membrane-based advanced treatment processes for three water reuse types (i.e. potable, industrial, agricultural reuse). The water source is municipal waste-water treatment plant effluent. Results indicate that the application of...journal article 2021

Niklaβ, Malte (author), Grewe, V. (author), Gollnick, Volker (author), Dahlmann, Katrin (author)Approximately 50–75% of aviation's climate impact is caused by non-CO<sub>2</sub> effects, like the production of ozone and the formation of contrail cirrus clouds, which can be effectively prevented by re-routing flights around highly climate-sensitive areas. Here, we discuss options how to incentivize re-routing approaches and apply...journal article 2021

Mouter, N. (author), Koster, Paul (author), Dekker, Thijs (author)Participatory Value Evaluation (PVE) is a new survey method which elicits citizens' preferences over the allocation of public budgets as well as their private income. In a PVE, citizens are asked to choose the best portfolio of projects given a governmental and a private budget constraint. First, this paper aligns PVE with the traditional Kaldor...journal article 2021

However, there are many solutions available that will allow for low-manned ship concepts long before fully unmanned ships are possible. There are many drivers for low-manned and unmanned...journal article 2021
