This book presents a fresh and original contribution to the debate on the policies and technologies needed to achieve a Greener Defence. It will provide an overall and comprehensive analysis of the current state and future prospects of the public and private discourse on the matter, by leveraging on four different and complementary perspectives: the national experiences of relevant NATO Member States and Partner Countries, the institutional framework of International Organizations, the role of industry and private companies and the intellectual contribution of research centers and academia. It will provide new policy recommendations and advanced and innovative technological solutions to be implemented in order to reduce the environmental footprint of Armed Forces, while improving at the same time the energy efficiency and strengthening the operational capabilities of Militaries. The book is addressed to all those interested in studying the connections between climate change, environmental issues, energy security and the role of Armed Forces, the latter seen as an important actor for reducing the environmental impact of human activities and as a forum where to discuss and implement new green technological solutions and applications.

Children have long been known to be particularly vulnerable to heavy-metal exposure. This volume evaluates our existing knowledge on intellectual impairment in children exposed to environmental heavy metals and identifies areas requiring further research.

Children have long been known to be particularly vulnerable to heavy-metal exposure. This volume evaluates our existing knowledge on intellectual impairment in children exposed to environmental heavy metals and identifies areas requiring further research.

This volume, with contributions from a team of multi-disciplinary team experts, addresses the economic sustainability and clean manufacturing methods to deal with the challenges that water scarcity and water quality are imposing on many countries, particularly on Mediterranean arid areas, that are threatening their economic and social development.

By monitoring land, the ocean and atmosphere, operational satellites and in situ data has the potential to predict environmental disasters and measure the impact humans have on the environment. This volume shows how to use this data to produce a healthy environment, improve sustainability, and enhance human life.
