Constata-se, atualmente, um uso crescente da energia nuclear no Brasil, para geração de eletricidade e outras aplicações (na medicina, na indústria, em agricultura, em técnicas ambientais, em radio-esterilização). Na realização das atividades de pesquisa do ciclo do combustível nuclear, em outras atividades de pesquisa, nas atividades industriais de produção de combustível e de energia e em todas as aplicações da energia nuclear, são gerados rejeitos radioativos, de atividades alta, média ou baixa. Atualmente, existem técnicas adequadas e seguras para o tratamento e armazenagem desses rejeitos, comentadas neste trabalho e que, sendo aplicadas, facilitam a aceitação da energia nuclear pela Sociedade. Com a crescente preocupação com o meio ambiente, a Organização Internacional de Normalização preparou e emitiu a Norma ISO 14.001 - Sistemas de Gestão Ambiental, aplicável a todos os tipos e portes de organizações, visando a melhoria de seu desempenho ambiental. Seus requisitos foram detalhadamente comentados neste trabalho, sendo particularizados para a sua aplicação no Laboratório de Rejeitos Radioativos do IPEN, como um estudo de caso. / An increasing use of nuclear technology in the form of its several applications (electricity generation, medical, industrial, agricultural, environment and radiosterilization) is currently being observed in Brazil. Radioactive waste of high, medium or lower activity is produced in all fuel cycle and other research activities, industrial activities of fiiel production and electricity generation. Appropriate and safe technologies are available for the treatment and storage of radioactive waste and, when applied, contribute for the acceptance of nuclear energy by the Society. With the increasing importance of demands related to environmental issues, the International Organization for Standardization issued the Standard ISO 14.001 - Environmental Management System, applied to all types and size of organizations, helping them to increase their environment performance. In this research, the standard requirements were commented in detail, being particularized to the Laboratory of Radioactive Waste from IPEN, as a case study.

Hoje, a indústria canavieira encontra-se em um novo momento histórico, no qual os problemas com as questões ambientais, mais especificamente com o impacto ambiental da atividade sucroalcooleira e com a sustentabilidade do setor, estão entre os assuntos de maior discussão e atenção na agenda brasileira. Reflexo de uma mudança no comportamento global, as preocupações com o meio ambiente têm despertado em governos e em instituições privadas interesse no desenvolvimento de ferramentas para a gestão ambiental, dados os impactos que o aproveitamento de certas culturas, no caso da agroindústria, causa ao meio ambiente. Do ponto de vista da iniciativa privada, a gestão ambiental de um determinado segmento agroindustrial, quando colocado em prática, reflete-se no direcionamento, controle e condução consciente dos recursos naturais junto aos meios de produção, além de investimentos e arranjos que se interagem objetivando a melhoria continua do desempenho ambiental na corporação (obter resultados mensuráveis de gestão ambiental). Quanto à iniciativa governamental, esta se traduz em políticas públicas que se direcionam a atender as necessidades do setor, utilizando-se de instrumentos de comando e controle e instrumentos econômicos na condução para a produção sustentável. O objetivo é o monitoramento, o controle e a redução dos impactos ambientais, fomentando a economia do setor com menor impacto ambiental. Este trabalho irá fazer uma abordagem multidisciplinar do setor sucroalcooleiro, analisando, sob o ponto de vista regional (estado de São Paulo) e nacional, os assuntos pontuais da agroindústria canavieira, que incluem, entre outras questões: a agroindústria e seus problemas ambientais; programas brasileiros de gestão da agroindústria; procedimentos para o licenciamento ambiental no estado de São Paulo; a adoção de sistemas de gestão ambiental da norma ISO 14001:2004, citando, inclusive, os diversos normativos legais no âmbito federal e estadual. Diante desses fatores, o presente trabalho parte da seguinte questão: A gestão ambiental, a partir do modelo normatizado pela ISO 14001:2004 nos seus processos e meios de produção, é ferramenta capaz de prevenir o dano ambiental? A resposta a ela passa pela análise de diversos elementos, relacionados à sustentabilidade do setor sucroalcooleiro brasileiro.

The environmental aspects of United Nations (UN) peacekeeping is not as popularly known to thegeneral public as its socio-economic issues. This thesis work looks at UN peacekeeping from theenvironmental perspective by carrying out an environmental review of peacekeeping in the NorthKivu province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo using ISO 14001 as model.Chapter one describes sustainable development as a shared responsibility and the need to ensurebalance in the social, economic and environmental issues in the pursuit of peace in host nationsduring peacekeeping.Chapter two summarizes the key issues in ISO 14001 and the requirements for conducting anenvironmental review. In chapter three, the research methodology is highlighted and chapter fourgives an overview of UN peace and security actions and the interaction among other peaceinstruments and peacekeeping. That chapter also highlights peacekeeping in Africa and in the DRCwith emphasis on the North Kivu province.The results obtained from the environmental review are presented in chapter five and the analysis ofthe result based on the ‘three party model tool for ethical risk analysis’ presented in chapter six.The research findings revealed that, the United Nations peacekeeping operations have environmentalaspects which the author identified to include emissions to air, waste, energy consumption, chemicalsusage, discharge to water, training, water consumption, exploration of resources, location/land useand fire and other uncontrolled activities. The environmental impacts and ethical risk analysis of theidentified aspects were also assessed.Conclusions and recommendations are given in Chapter seven which include the need for the UnitedNations to implement an effective environmental management system to handle its significantenvironmental aspects.

Environmental goals such as urban water conservation and pollution control regulations are typically achieved through price and non-price methods. This dissertation offers an analysis of the non-price approaches, including the rationing of water for particular users, installation of particular technologies, and adoption of particular certifications to achieve environmental goals. To begin, an analysis of California’s 2015 urban water conservation mandate was performed. Results indicate that the average welfare loss of the mandate is $6,107 per acre-foot of restriction in Northern California and $2,757 per acre-foot of restriction in Southern California. In terms of monthly household-level willingness-to-pay (WTP) to avoid the mandate, results illustrate that households have a WTP between $5 and $200 per month. Northern Californian utilities were generally in compliance with their mandated conservation targets, while Southern Californian utilities tended to fall short. The second essay focuses on analyzing how web-based Home Water Use Reports (HWURs) affect household-level water consumption in Folsom City, California. The HWURs under study, offered by the company Dropcountr (DC), share social comparisons, consumption analytics, and conservation information to residential accounts, primarily through digital communications. We found that there is a 7.8% reduction in average daily household water consumption for a typical household under treatment of the DC program. Results suggest that the effect of DC varies by the baseline consumption quintile, the number of months in the program, the day of the week, message type, and enrollment wave. Furthermore, we find that indicate these responses to DC program likely come from the information channel rather than moral suasion. The final essay studies the effectiveness of ISO-14001 on pollution reduction as a non-price pollution control approach. Manufacturers have been increasingly relying on environmental management systems (such as ISO 14001 based ones) to comply with government regulations and reduce waste. In this essay, we investigated the impact of ISO 14001 certification on manufacturers’ toxic release by release level. Results show that ISO 14001 had a negative and statistically significant effect on the top 10% manufacturing sites regarding the on-site toxic release, but it did not reduce off-site toxic release. Therefore, one should not expect ISO 14001 to have a uniform impact on manufacturing sites’ environmental performance. For large firms, encouraging voluntary adoption of ISO 14001 might be an effective government strategy to reduce on-site pollution.
