Universities attract a large number of students and staff who generate thousands of journeys every day. This affects transport systems in European cities and contributes to increasing CO2 emissions, since a significant percent of the journeys are made by car. Therefore, there is a need to influence the academic community?s travel behavior and to encourage staff and students to reduce car journeys and to increase travel by public transport, bike, or by foot.

The implementation of the Energy Efficiency Operational Indicator (EEOI) by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) is a consequence of the need to specify quantified ships? energy efficiency of the vessels in service. The EEOI enables to monitor the efficiency of the ships in operation in a specific period of time based on an actual operation data. In reference to vessels other than ships which are designed for transporting passengers and / or goods (for which the EEOI has been developed), the application o...

The international conventions regarding the climate change, namely the Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Agreement, include the recommendations for international organisations that are responsible for the supervision over the transportation other than land transport.

It has been assessed that the maritime transport is the source of around 800 Mt of CO2 per year emitted to the atmosphere. Given the forecast regardin...
