          Abstract

          Renewable energy usage, waste, and water management are all issues that airports must address in order to be able to adapt to changing situations and address environmental sustainability principles. This paper deals with an analysis of the development principle of airport renewable green facilities and activities by reviewing the areas that impact the sustainable transition of international mobility and freight hubs, such as airports. By a systemic review, the special focus is on airport landside business, in which comprehensive landside facilities data gathering framework, defining the context and key trends in landside development framework in European airports, serving popular tourist destinations in Mediterranean region. The analysis is based on the breakdown of the airports' key environmental aspects related to renewable green facilities and provides key message to planners and decision makers about the development of renewable green activities in airports located in popular tourist destinations as enabler for shifting them into greener infrastructure. Conventional wisdom is to provide a clear, coherent and well support view for the linkage of airports' sustainable transition with the development of renewable green facilities and activities in their landside area, providing a great picture for planners and decision makers in terms of managing airports serving tourist destinations.

          The European Union Emissions Trading System reduced CO 2 emissions despite low prices

          Significance International carbon markets are an appealing and increasingly popular tool to regulate carbon emissions. They put a price on carbon emissions and make pollution less attractive for regulated firms. However, carbon markets often produce prices which are deemed too low relative to the social cost of carbon. We argue that despite low prices, carbon markets can help reduce emissions. Using a statistical model and sectoral emissions data, we find that the EU ETS, which initially regulated roughly 50% of EU carbon emissions from mainly energy production and large industrial polluters, saved more than 1 billion tons of CO2 between 2008 and 2016. This translates to reductions of 3.8% of total EU-wide emissions compared to a world without the EU ETS.
