1.1.1. Two sustainability indicators are:
1. Carbon footprint: This indicator measures the total amount of greenhouse gases,
particularly carbon dioxide, emitted directly or indirectly by an individual,
organization, product, or activity. It helps assess the environmental impact and
effectiveness of efforts to reduce carbon emissions.
2. Biodiversity index: This indicator measures the diversity and abundance of species
in a given ecosystem. It helps evaluate the health of ecosystems and the impacts
of human activities on biodiversity.
1.1.2. Four examples of the application of sustainability indicators are:
1. Tracking carbon emissions: By measuring and monitoring carbon emissions,
organizations can assess their environmental impact and identify areas for
improvement. They can implement measures to reduce emissions, such as
transitioning to renewable energy sources or optimizing energy efficiency.
2. Conducting ecological surveys: Ecological surveys involve assessing the
biodiversity and health of ecosystems. This can be done through field research,
data collection, and analysis. The results help identify species at risk, ecosystem
vulnerabilities, and inform conservation strategies.
3. Life cycle assessment: Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a method to evaluate the
environmental impacts of a product or process throughout its entire life cycle, from
raw material extraction to disposal. It considers factors such as energy
consumption, resource depletion, emissions, and waste generation. LCA helps
identify opportunities for improving sustainability and reducing environmental
impacts.
4. Water footprint analysis: Water footprint analysis quantifies the amount of water
used directly and indirectly to produce goods or services. It provides insights into
water scarcity, pollution, and the environmental consequences of water
