    Description

    We collected data in five East African countries (Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Ethiopia and Rwanda) on public opinions about different policy instruments to reduce the use of fossil fuels in the transport sector. The questionnaire also included questions on the dependency on fossil fuels, the level of concern about different environmental challenges, trust in others and in government institutions and socio-demographic characteristics. The survey was performed under informed consent. A survey company based in Kenya was recruited to collect the data. The questionnaire was composed in English and then translated into the following languages: Kenya—Swahili and Somali; Tanzania—Swahili; Uganda—Luganda and Runyanoke; Rwanda—Kinyarwanda and French; and Ethiopia—Amharic, Tigrinya, Oromo and Somali. These translations were performed by native-speaking translators recruited by the company. The interviews were conducted by 26 experienced enumerators and 5 supervisors using Computer Assisted Telephone Interviews (CATI), and all responses were recorded with Kobo Toolbox software. Before conducting the interviews, the enumerators completed a two-day training session on the topics in the questionnaire and various techniques for collecting data using the CATI method. A pilot study was conducted in January 2022 with 200 respondents in each of the five focal countries to test the reliability and content validity of the questionnaire. Additionally, the pilot study enabled refining the questionnaire with feedback from both the enumerators and respondents. The company used its existing national databases of respondents involved in earlier investigations to recruit survey respondents in each of the five countries. Screening questions were used to recruit samples that were representative of the adult population in terms of age, gender and area of residence in the five countries. In total, 7,622 respondents were contacted. Following three reminders, a total of 4,766 responses with complete answers (63% response rate) were collected during March 17–28, 2022, in the five countries as follows: Ethiopia, 950; Kenya, 959; Rwanda, 991; Tanzania, 981; and Uganda, 885. Since questions regarding trust in institutions can be sensitive, we allowed respondents to opt out by answering "don't know". In the data, these responses are treated as missing values. As a result, we currently have 312 missing values for the question regarding trust in institutions. Respondents took between 10 and 23 minutes to complete the survey, with a mean completion time of 16 minutes. Research approval was received from the National Commission of Science, Technology and Innovation (NACOSTI) in Kenya, and the survey company possess national research permits for each of the five focal countries. The present data description is related to data descriptions "Public acceptance of policy instruments to reduce plastic pollution in East Africa" and " Public acceptance of policy instruments to reduce forest loss: Exploring cross-national variation in East Africa ". The three data descriptions are subsets of the same main data collection, and are part of the Environment for Development (EfD) catalog in the Swedish National Data Service. Each data description with its corresponding dataset contains only the relevant dependent variables for a particular research study. In particular, this dataset does not have questions q1, q2, q3 and q7, q8, q9, q10. Dependent variables for this study are q4, q5, q6. Missing data points are marked with the value 98.

    Description

    Per capita carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions in India have soared in recent decades, climbing from 0.4 metric tons per person in 1970 to a high of 2.07 metric tons per person in 2023. Total CO₂ emissions in India also reached a record high in 2023. Greenhouse gas emissions in India India is the third-largest CO₂ emitter globally, behind only China and the United States. Among the various economic sectors of the country, the power sector accounts for the largest share of greenhouse gas emissions in India, followed by agriculture. Together, these two sectors were responsible for more than half of India's total emissions in 2023. Coal emissions One of the main reasons for India's high emissions is the country's reliance on coal, the most polluting of fossil fuels. India's CO₂ emissions from coal totaled roughly two billion metric tons in 2023, a near sixfold increase from 1990 levels.

    Description

    We are interested in the spatial distribution of fossil-fuel-related emissions of CO2 for both geochemical and geopolitical reasons, but it is important to understand the uncertainty that exists in spatially explicit emissions estimates. Working from one of the widely-used gridded data sets of CO2 emissions, we examine the elements of uncertainty, focusing on gridded data for the U.S. at the scale of 1 degree latitude by 1 degree longitude. Uncertainty is introduced in the magnitude of total U.S. emissions, the magnitude and location of large point sources, the magnitude and distribution of non-point sources, and from the use of proxy data to characterize emissions. For the U.S. we develop estimates of the contribution of each component of uncertainty. At 1 degree resolution, in most grid cells, the largest contribution to uncertainty comes from how well the distribution of the proxy (in this case population density) represents the distribution of emissions. In other grid cells the magnitude and location of large point sources make the major contribution to uncertainty. Uncertainty in population density can be important where a large gradient in population density occurs near a grid cell boundary. Uncertainty is strongly scale-dependent with uncertainty increasing as grid size decreases. Uncertainty for our data set with one degree grid cells for the U.S. is typically on the order of +/- 150%, but this is perhaps not excessive in a data set where emissions per grid cell vary over 8 orders of magnitude.

    Abstract:

    Ammonia-based synthetic nitrogen fertilizers (N-fertilizers) are critical for global food security. However, their production, primarily dependent on fossil fuels, is energy- and carbon-intensive and vulnerable to supply chain disruptions, affecting 1.8 billion people reliant on either imported fertilizers or natural gas. Here, we examine the global N-fertilizers supply chain and analyze context-specific trade-offs of low-carbon ammonia production pathways. Carbon capture and storage can reduce overall emissions by up to 70%, but still relies on natural gas. Electrolytic and biochemical processes minimize emissions but are 2 to 3 times more expensive and require 100 to 300 times more land and water than the business-as-usual production. Decentralized production has the potential to reduce transportation costs, emissions, reliance on imports, and price volatility, increasing agricultural productivity in the Global South, but requires policy support. Interdisciplinary approaches are essential to understand these trade-offs and find resilient ways to feed a growing population minimizing climate impacts.

    Description

    The Smithsonian's "Eruptions, Earthquakes, & Emissions" web application (or "E3") is a time-lapse animation of volcanic eruptions and earthquakes since 1960. It also shows volcanic gas emissions (sulfur dioxide, SO2) since 1978 — the first year satellites were available to provide global monitoring of SO2. The eruption data are drawn from the Volcanoes of the World (VOTW) database maintained by the Smithsonian's Global Volcanism Program (GVP). The earthquake data are pulled from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) Earthquake Catalog. Sulfur-dioxide emissions data incorporated into the VOTW for use here originate in NASA's Multi-Satellite Volcanic Sulfur Dioxide L4 Long-Term Global Database. Please properly credit and cite any use of GVP eruption and volcano data, which are available via a download button within the app, through webservices, or through options under the Database tab above. A citation for the E3 app is given below.Clicking the image will open this web application in a new tab.Citation (example for today)Global Volcanism Program, 2016. Eruptions, Earthquakes & Emissions, v. 1.0 (internet application). Smithsonian Institution. Accessed 19 Oct 2018 (https://volcano.si.edu/E3/).Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat is the Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI)?VEI is the "Richter Scale" of volcanic eruptions. Assigning a VEI is not an automated process, but involves assessing factors such as the volume of tephra (volcanic ash or other ejected material) erupted, the height the ash plume reaches above the summit or altitude into the atmosphere, and the type of eruption (Newhall and Self, 1982). VEIs range from 1 (small eruption) to 8 (the largest eruptions in Earth's entire history).What about eruptions before 1960?For information about volcanic eruptions before 1960, explore the GVP website, where we catalog eruption information going back more than 10,000 years. This E3 app only displays eruptions starting in 1960 because the catalog is much more complete after that date. For most eruptions before the 20th century we rely on the geologic record more than historical first-hand accounts — and the geologic record is inherently incomplete (due to erosion) and not fully documented.What are "SO2 emissions" and what do the different circle sizes mean?The E3 app displays emissions of sulfur dioxide gas (SO2) from erupting volcanoes, including the mass in kilotons. Even though water vapor (steam) and carbon dioxide gas (see more about CO2 below) are much more abundant volcanic gases, SO2is the easiest to detect using satellite-based instruments, allowing us to obtain a global view. There is no universally accepted "magnitude" scale for emissions; the groupings presented here were chosen to best graphically present the relative volumes based on available data.What am I seeing when I click on an SO2 emission event?You are seeing a time-lapse movie of satellite measurements of SO2 associated with a particular emission event. These SO2 clouds, or plumes, are blown by winds and can circle the globe in about a week. As plumes travel, they mix with the air, becoming more dilute until eventually the concentration of SO2 falls below the detection limit of satellites. Earth's entire atmosphere derives from outgassing of the planet — in fact, the air you breathe was once volcanic gas, and some of it might have erupted very recently!Why are there no SO2 emissions before 1978?E3 shows volcanic gas emissions captured from satellite-based instruments, which were first deployed in 1978. NASA launched the Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) in 1978, which provided the first space-borne observations of volcanic gas emissions. Numerous satellites capable of measuring volcanic gases are now in orbit.Why don't you include H2O and CO2 emissions?The most abundant gases expelled during a volcanic eruption are water vapor (H2O in the form of steam) and carbon dioxide (CO2). Sulfur dioxide (SO2) is typically the third most abundant gas. Hydrogen gas, carbon monoxide and other carbon species, hydrogen halides, and noble gases typically comprise a very small percentage of volcanic gas emissions. So why can't we show H2O and CO2 in the E3 app? Earth's atmosphere has such high background concentrations of H2O and CO2 that satellites cannot easily detect a volcano's signal over this background "noise." Atmospheric SO2 concentrations, however, are very low. Therefore volcanic emissions of SO2 stand out and are more easily detected by satellites. Scientists are just beginning to have reliable measurements of volcanic carbon dioxide emissions because new satellites dedicated to monitoring CO2 have either recently been launched or have launches planned for the coming decade.How much carbon is emitted by volcanoes?We don't really know. CO2, carbon dioxide, is the dominant form of carbon in most volcanic eruptions, and can be the dominant gas emitted from volcanoes. Humans release more than 100 times more CO2 to the atmosphere than volcanoes (Gerlach, 2011) through activities like burning fossil fuels. Because of this, the background levels of CO2 in the atmosphere have risen to levels that are so high (greater than 400 parts per million, or 0.04%) that satellites cannot easily detect the CO2 from volcanic eruptions. Scientists are able to estimate the amount of carbon flowing from Earth's interior to exterior (the flux) by measuring carbon emissions directly at volcanic vents and by measuring the carbon dissolved in volcanic rocks. Scientific teams in the Deep Carbon Observatory (one of the supporters of E3) are working to quantify the flux of carbon from Earth's interior to exterior.Do volcanic emissions cause global warming?No, not in modern times. The dominant effect of volcanic eruptions is to cool the planet in the short term. This is because sulfur emissions create aerosols that block the sun's incoming rays temporarily. While volcanoes do emit powerful greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, they do so at a rate that is likely 100 times less than humans (Gerlach, 2011). Prior to human activity in the Holocene (approximately the last 10,000 years), volcanic gas emissions did play a large role in modulating Earth's climate.Volcanic eruptions and earthquakes seem to occur in the same location. Why?Eruptions and earthquakes occur at Earth's plate boundaries — places where Earth's tectonic plates converge, diverge, or slip past one another. The forces operating at these plate boundaries cause both earthquakes and eruptions. For example, the Pacific "Ring of Fire" describes the plate boundaries that surround the Pacific basin. Around most of the Pacific Rim, the seafloor (Earth's oceanic crust) is "subducting" beneath the continents. This means that the seafloor is being dragged down into Earth's interior. You might think of this as Earth's way of recycling! In this process, ocean water is released to Earth's solid rocky mantle, melting the mantle rock and generating magma that erupts through volcanoes on the continents where the plates converge. In contrast, mid-ocean ridges, chains of seafloor volcanoes, define divergent plate boundaries. The Mid-Atlantic Ridge that runs from Iceland to the Antarctic in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean is one example of a divergent plate boundary. Earth's crust is torn apart at the ridge, as North and South America move away from Europe and Africa. New lava erupts to fill the gap. This lava cools, creating new ocean crust. All these episodes where solid rock collides or is torn apart generate earthquakes. And boom! You have co-located eruptions and earthquakes. To learn more about plate margins using E3, watch this video.Is this the first time eruptions, emissions, and earthquakes have been animated on a map?E3 is a successor to the program Seismic/Eruption developed by Alan Jones (Binghamton University). That program was one of the first to show the global occurrence of earthquakes (USGS data) and eruptions (GVP data) through space and time with animations and sound. The program ran in the Smithsonian's Geology, Gems, and Minerals Hall from 1997 to 2016, and was also available on the "Earthquakes and Eruptions" CD-ROM. E3 builds upon Seismic/Eruption with the addition of emissions data and automated data updates.How many eruptions and emissions are shown, and from how many volcanoes?The application is currently showing 2,065 eruptions from 334 volcanoes. It is also showing 360 emission activity periods from 118 different volcanoes. In addition, there are 67 animations available showing the movement of SO2 clouds from 44 volcanoes.How often do you update the data represented in the web application?The application checks for updates once a week. Earthquake data, being instrumentally recorded, is typically very current. Eruption data, which relies on observational reports and analysis by GVP staff, is generally updated every few months; however, known ongoing eruptions will continue through the most recent update check. Emissions data is collected by satellite instruments and also must be processed by scientists, so updates will be provided as soon as they are available following an event, on the schedule with eruption updates.Is my computer system/browser supported? Something isn't working right.To run the map, your computer and browser must support WebGL. For more information on WebGL, please visit https://get.webgl.org to test if it should work.Source Obtained from http://volcano.si.edu/E3/

    Description

    We collected data in five East African countries (Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Ethiopia and Rwanda) focusing on citizens’ perceptions on forest loss-reducing policy instruments along with the role of socio-economic factors on these perceptions. The questionnaire included questions that asked about their opinion about a ban or tax on cutting trees in public and community forests, and a ban or tax on using charcoal. The survey was performed under informed consent. A survey company based in Kenya was recruited to collect the data. The questionnaire was composed in English and then translated into the following languages: Kenya—Swahili and Somali; Tanzania—Swahili; Uganda—Luganda and Runyanoke; Rwanda—Kinyarwanda and French; and Ethiopia—Amharic, Tigrinya, Oromo and Somali. These translations were performed by native-speaking translators recruited by the company. The interviews were conducted by 26 experienced enumerators and 5 supervisors using Computer Assisted Telephone Interviews (CATI), and all responses were recorded with Kobo Toolbox software. Before conducting the interviews, the enumerators completed a two-day training session on the topics in the questionnaire and various techniques for collecting data using the CATI method. A pilot study was conducted in January 2022 with 200 respondents in each of the five focal countries to test the reliability and content validity of the questionnaire. Additionally, the pilot study enabled refining the questionnaire with feedback from both the enumerators and respondents. The company used its existing national databases of respondents involved in earlier investigations to recruit survey respondents in each of the five countries. Screening questions were used to recruit samples that were representative of the adult population in terms of age, gender and area of residence in the five countries. In total, 7,622 respondents were contacted. Following three reminders, a total of 4,766 responses with complete answers (63% response rate) were collected during March 17–28, 2022, in the five countries as follows: Ethiopia, 950; Kenya, 959; Rwanda, 991; Tanzania, 981; and Uganda, 885. Since questions regarding trust in institutions can be sensitive, we allowed respondents to opt out by answering "don't know". In the data, these responses are treated as missing values. As a result, we currently have 312 missing values for the question regarding trust in institutions. Respondents took between 10 and 23 minutes to complete the survey, with a mean completion time of 16 minutes. Research approval was received from the National Commission of Science, Technology and Innovation (NACOSTI) in Kenya, and the survey company possess national research permits for each of the five focal countries. The present data description is related to data descriptions "Public acceptance of policy instruments to reduce plastic pollution in East Africa" and "Public acceptability of policy instruments for reducing fossil fuel consumption in East Africa". The three data descriptions are subsets of the same main data collection, and are part of the Environment for Development (EfD) catalog in the Swedish National Data Service. Each data description with its corresponding dataset contains only the relevant dependent variables for a particular research study. In particular, this dataset does not have questions q1, q2, q3 and q4, q5, q6. Dependent variables for this study are q7, q8, q9, q10. Missing data points are marked with the value 98.

    Description

    We collected data in five East African countries (Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Ethiopia and Rwanda) on public opinions about different policy instruments to reduce plastic pollution. The questionnaire also included questions on material, internal and inter-relational factors, the level of concern about different environmental challenges, trust in others and in government institutions and socio-demographic characteristics. In order to understand the level of public support of policy instruments that address plastic pollution, respondents were asked for their opinion on (i) “a prohibition or ban on the use of plastic bags”; (ii) “a prohibition or ban on the use of single use plastics such as water bottles, straws and plastic spoons, knives and forks”; and (iii) “increasing the price on single use plastics, for example, by introducing a tax”. The responses were recorded on a Likert scale of 1-5, with 1 as strongly against and 5 as strongly in favor. The survey was performed under informed consent. A survey company based in Kenya was recruited to collect the data. The questionnaire was composed in English and then translated into the following languages: Kenya—Swahili and Somali; Tanzania—Swahili; Uganda—Luganda and Runyanoke; Rwanda—Kinyarwanda and French; and Ethiopia—Amharic, Tigrinya, Oromo and Somali.

Description

We collected data in five East African countries (Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Ethiopia and Rwanda) on public opinions about different policy instruments to reduce the use of fossil fuels in the transport sector. The questionnaire also included questions on the dependency on fossil fuels, the level of concern about different environmental challenges, trust in others and in government institutions and socio-demographic characteristics. The survey was performed under informed consent. A survey company based in Kenya was recruited to collect the data.
