Direttiva Ue anti-smog: “Italia unico Paese ancora senza consultazione pubblica”.
Il Paese in Europa che conta più morti da inquinamento dell'aria è lo stesso che non prevede partecipazione pubblica. Le associazioni italiane e europee: "L'Italia dia trasparenza nel recepimento della Direttiva" Milano, 21/07/2026 - L'Italia è l'unico Paese, tra quelli monitorati dal Tracker dell'European Environmental Bureau (EEB), in cui non è prevista alcuna consultazione pubblica [...] L'arti

礦業改革其實根本不需要修礦業法?|再一起回顧礦業改革之路 EP3
萬達鑛業太白山金礦位在宜蘭南澳大白山一帶,申請擴大開採的時候,預計開發範圍幾乎貼著《文資法》公告的珍稀植物「台灣水青岡」分布點。礦場開挖後的邊坡穩定、地下水脈都可能影響水青岡,因此被要求進入二階環評,但這個程序一直沒有完成,7年後被地礦中心收回礦業權,10年後行政訴訟定讞礦業權真正被廢止。 . 位在花蓮秀林的榮豐大濁水礦場,則是在開發影響範圍內記錄到11種保育類動植物。即便開發單位在審查過程中多次縮減面積、減少開採量,但仍缺乏緩衝帶與邊坡穩定規劃,最後在環評大會上遭駁回。 . 這兩個案子有趣的地方在於,它們的結束,都沒有用到新版的礦業法。 萬達是依照舊版《礦業法》第 38 條——沒有正當理由停工一年以上收回礦業權;榮豐則是在當時的環評制度中被駁回。變化的是行政機關對同一件事情的態度和積極度,在倡議修法的過程中,地礦中心對於停工「正當理由」的正當性變得更嚴格,才收回了萬達的礦業權。 . 所以

What does net zero mean for air quality in the UK? #news #london #unitedkingdom
The UK's transition to net zero is reshaping emissions across transport, buildings, industry and power generation. But the benefits of that transition, and the cleaner air that comes with it, often aren't factored into policy decisions. This brand-new report from Clean Air Fund with research by CBI Economics and WSP, sets out to analyse the benefits net zero policies will make to our air. 📈 Watch

Повече автомобили, отколкото хора в България?
Автопаркът в страната продължава да расте и остава сред най-старите в Европа. Над половината от автомобилите са на възраст над 20 години, а дизеловите превозни средства запазват почти половината от целия автопарк, показва нов анализ на „За Земята“. България се движи към все по-висока моторизация, докато качеството на автомобилния парк остава сериозен проблем за градската […]

沒有人看到第一攤積水就直接找抓漏的啦!|再一起回顧礦業改革之路 EP2
大家可以接受「保安林」跟「自來水水質水量保護區」有什麼規模的開發?理論上應該被嚴格管理,但在森林法、自來水法等相關法規中對於採礦的規定都留有空間,只要主管機關同意就可以採礦。 . 十多年前的當時,採礦完全沒有資訊公開,很難有機會發現問題。最早被我們注意到的「潤泰蘭崁石礦」原本是隱身在深山裡的老礦場,直到潤泰接手後提出擴大開採進入環評程序,也才有脈絡可以追蹤。透過立委拿到資料研究後發現,這座礦場所在區域直接重疊在原本應該涵養水源、維持水土安全的保安林之上。 . 與此同時,南投魚池水社大山一帶的北原礦場,則是在我們注意到抗議報導後主動聯繫居民,才開啟案件的追蹤。是沉寂多年的老礦場準備復工,卻同時重疊飲用水水源水質保護區以及保安林,讓居民擔心開發會直接影響水源,也擔心土石流風險與家園安全。 . 直到這個階段,礦業法都還沒有出場。 . 這些個案問題出在相關法規留給採礦的但書,以及相關的主管機關竟然
Rachunki grozy do weryfikacji – prawda czy mit? – badanie opinii właścicieli domów
Polski Alarm Smogowy zapytał właścicieli domów jednorodzinnych o ocenę wykorzystywanych przez nich systemów grzewczych oraz różnych aspektów ich funkcjonowania w minionym sezonie grzewczym.

Mała reforma dużego programu – kolejne zmiany w Programie Czyste Powietrze
