Mobilità sostenibile

Se vogliamo parlare di mobilità sostenibile diciamo subito che il miglior viaggio e quello evitato.  Circa il 25% delle emissioni italiane di gas serra arriva dai trasporti (1.700 kg per persona all’anno). E’ facile produrli, basta bruciare un paio di litri di gasolio (ogni litro genera 2,6 kg di CO2). Se una autovettura fa circa 20 km con un litro di carburante fossile emette circa 130 gr di CO2 al chilometro.

Una valida soluzione di trasporto, per abbassare il nostro impatto ambientale, potrebbe essere l’auto elettrica, solo se verrà caricata con energie rinnovabili e una rigida filiera di riciclo delle batterie esauste.

Poi ci sono i consueti mezzi pubblici: treni, tram, metropolitane, bus. Sono sempre convenienti in termini di basse emissioni per passeggero e per chilometro percorso, anche se qualche volta i prezzi e il livello di servizio non ne incoraggiano l’uso. Ma i migliori mezzi di locomozione sono i cari vecchi piedi e la bicicletta (se volete quella elettrica a pedalata assistita).

Exploring Global Longevity: Analyzing Life Expectancy and Urbanization Trends Across Nations

I would like to know more about the relation between climate change and urbanization and how this affects people’s lives all around the globe. For this reason,  I selected the database from the Gapminder codebook {Gapminder codebook (.pdf)}

Specifically, my Research Question is: Does life expectancy associated with urban rate per country?

So, I decided that I am most interested in exploring environmental factors of urban rate, in this case CO2 emissions and residential electricity consumption, that affect life expectancy dependence.

Sub-research Question: Do environmental factors like CO2 emissions and residential electricity consumption impact life expectancy in urban areas?

The variables of the research questions derived from the Gapminder codebook: co2emissions, lifeexpectancy, relectricperperson, urbanrate. (You can see the image in the end that I created an Excel shit with only these variables).

I have two hypothesis based on the results I found:

1.  That the more people are gathered in urban centers, the higher the technological development and the higher the industrialization rates, and this ultimately increases pollution that affects life expectancy in urban areas.

2. A positive relationship between CO2 emissions and life expectancy in West Africa. CO2 emissions may indirectly contribute to improved life expectancy through mechanisms such as enhanced healthcare infrastructure and increased access to medical services facilitated by economic activities associated with CO2 emissions, notably industrialization.

My hypothesis is based on the following literature review:

Elevated CO2 emissions in urban areas are expected to negatively impact life expectancy due to increased pollution. Prolonged exposure to high CO2 levels can result in respiratory and cardiovascular health problems, thereby reducing life expectancy. Additionally, electricity rates may indirectly affect urban CO2 emissions by shaping energy consumption behaviors.https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2352550921001950

Reducing exposure to ambient fine-particulate air pollution led to notable and measurable enhancements in life expectancy in the United States.https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMsa0805646

The detrimental impact of CO2 emissions on agricultural output, they might indirectly contribute positively to life expectancy in West Africa. Possible explanations for this unexpected relationship include enhancements in healthcare infrastructure and accessibility to medical services driven by economic activities linked to CO2 emissions.https://ojs.jssr.org.pk/index.php/jssr/article/view/115

The study highlights that CO2 emissions negatively impact life expectancy in both Asian and African countries, potentially due to increased urban pollution and deteriorating air quality. Economic progression has a mixed impact on life expectancy, with a negative overall effect but a positive influence observed in the highest economic quantile. This suggests that while economic growth may enhance life expectancy under certain conditions, it can also lead to negative health outcomes in urban areas due to pollution and lifestyle changes.https://ojs.jssr.org.pk/index.php/jssr/article/view/115

Blog Entry for Assignment: Frequency Distributions and Data Analysis

The Program Below is the program I used to analyze the dataset. The code imports the dataset, selects relevant columns, and generates frequency distributions for three chosen variables.

import pandas as pd

#Load the dataset

file_path = r'C:\Users\kauanand\Downloads\gapminder.csv' data = pd.read_csv(file_path)

#Display the first few rows and column names to understand the dataset structure

print(data.head()) print(data.columns)

#Select relevant columns for frequency distributions

selected_columns = ['incomeperperson', 'alcconsumption', 'lifeexpectancy']

#Generate frequency distributions, including missing values

for column in selected_columns: print(f"Frequency Distribution for {column}:\n") print(data[column].value_counts(dropna=False)) print("\n")

Output:

Here’s a breakdown of the results:

1. Frequency Distribution for incomeperperson:

The column incomeperperson contains continuous values, so you see several unique values with their counts. For example:

23 appears 1 time,

6243.57131825833 appears 1 time,

268.259449511417 appears 1 time,

... (and so on).

The incomeperperson column has 191 unique values as shown by Length: 191.

2. Frequency Distribution for alcconsumption:

The column alcconsumption also contains continuous data, with some common values appearing multiple times. For example:

26 appears 1 time,

.1 appears 2 times,

.34 appears 2 times,

5.92 appears 2 times,

... (and so on).

This column has 181 unique values as shown by Length: 181.

3. Frequency Distribution for lifeexpectancy:

The column lifeexpectancy contains values representing life expectancy, and you see unique values with their respective counts. For example:

22 appears 1 time,

73.979 appears 2 times,

72.974 appears 2 times,

81.097 appears 1 time,

... (and so on).

This column has 190 unique values as shown by Length: 190.

Summary of the frequency distributions based on the data for the selected variables:

Income per person (incomeperperson):

The values in this column are continuous and vary widely, with several unique values across different income levels.

Most values appear only once, indicating a diverse range of income per person across the countries in the dataset.

There are some repeated values, but they are relatively few, suggesting a wide spread of income levels.

Missing data is not explicitly shown in the frequency distribution, but you can check for NaN values using .isnull().sum() to confirm if any missing data exists.

Alcohol consumption (alcconsumption):

Similar to income, alcohol consumption values are mostly continuous, and the column contains various unique values for alcohol consumption levels.

Some values, like 0.1 and 5.92, are repeated multiple times, suggesting that these alcohol consumption levels are observed across multiple countries.

This column also contains a range of values, some of which may be missing or represented as NaN. To confirm this, you'd need to check for missing values.

Life expectancy (lifeexpectancy):

Life expectancy values also vary across the dataset, with many unique values, indicating differences in life expectancy among the countries.

Some life expectancy values, like 73.979 and 72.974, are repeated, which could represent several countries sharing the same life expectancy.

Missing data might be present, though the distribution suggests that life expectancy values are fairly well populated across the dataset.

In Conclusion:

All three variables contain a wide range of unique values, with a few repetitions, particularly in the cases of alcconsumption and lifeexpectancy, where certain values appear in multiple countries.

There is no immediate evidence of missing data in the frequency distributions, but further checks for NaN values can confirm this.

Regression Modeling in Practice

Module 1 - Assignment

I have decided to work with the Gapminder dataset.

I will look across the relationship between different socio-economic indicators for a country.

Codebook:

country - Country Name

incomeperperson 2010 Gross Domestic Product per capita in constant 2000 US$. The inflation but not the differences in the cost of living 

alcconsumption 2008 alcohol consumption per adult (age 15+), litres Recorded and estimated average alcohol consumption, adult (15+) per capita consumption in litres pure alcohol

armedforcesrate Armed forces personnel (% of total labor force)

breastcancerper100th 2002 breast cancer new cases per 100,000 female Number of new cases of breast cancer in 100,000 female residents during the certain year.

co2emissions 2006 cumulative CO2 emission (metric tons), Total amount of CO2 emission in metric tons since 1751.

femaleemployrate 2007 female employees age 15+ (% of population) Percentage of female population, age above 15, that has been employed during the given year.

hivrate 2009 estimated HIV Prevalence % - (Ages 15-49) Estimated number of people living with HIV per 10

internetuserate 2010 Internet users (per 100 people) Internet users are people with access to the worldwide network.

lifeexpectancy 2011 life expectancy at birth (years) The average number of years a newborn child would live if current mortality patterns were to stay the same.

oilperperson 2010 oil Consumption per capita (tonnes per year and person)

polityscore 2009 Democracy score (Polity) Overall polity score from the Polity IV dataset, calculated by subtracting an autocracy score from a democracy score. The summary measure of a country's democratic and free nature. -10 is the lowest value, 10 the highest.

relectricperperson 2008 residential electricity consumption, per person (kWh) The amount of residential electricity consumption per person during the given year, counted in kilowatt-hours (kWh).

suicideper100th 2005 Suicide, age adjusted, per 100 000 Mortality due to self-inflicted injury, per 100 000 standard population, age adjusted

employrate 2007 total employees age 15+ (% of population) Percentage of total population, age above 15, that has been employed during the given year

urbanrate 2008 urban population (% of total) Urban population refers to people living in urban areas as defined by national statistical offices (calculated using World Bank population estimates and urban ratios from the United Nations World Urbanization Prospects)

First Topic: I am interested to find a corrleation between relectricperperson and polityscore.

Does lower relectricperperson leads to political unstability?

Review and intuition says lower electricity consumption means not enough resources for power generation and distribution (lower economic growth) to begin with, which would lead to unrest among masses. The literature review sights example from the Middle East and Northern African countries.

Second Topic: I am interested to find a corrleation between co2emissions and employrate.

Does higher co2emissions mean higher employrate?

Reviewing literature on this subject lead to preliminary findings that higher co2emissions means that country is industrialized, hence the reason for higher emission. And since the country is industrialized the the employrate is bound to go up. One example, is emerging economies where over the years co2emissions have gone up and so has the employrate.

Analysis of some Gapminder data (part4)

In this post I will continue analyzing the chosen variables using at first univariate graph in order to characterize them singularly and in a second time using combined graph (bivariate) in order to evaluate the eventual correlation.

CODE

#import necessary libraries

import pandas as pd import numpy as np import seaborn as sb import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

#import data set

data = pd.read_csv('gapminder.csv', low_memory=False)

#convert necessary variables to numeric values

data['urbanrate']=pd.to_numeric(data['urbanrate'],'coerce') data['co2emissions']=pd.to_numeric(data['co2emissions'],'coerce') data['lifeexpectancy']=pd.to_numeric(data['lifeexpectancy'],'coerce')

#plot univariate variables

sb.displot(data["urbanrate"].dropna(), kde=False) plt.xlabel('Urban rate') plt.ylabel('Urban rate distribution')

#calculate center and spread

print('Urban rate has center =', data['urbanrate'].mean(), 'and variance(spread) =', data['urbanrate'].std() ) print('Life expectancy rate has center =', data['lifeexpectancy'].mean(), 'and variance(spread) =', data['lifeexpectancy'].std() ) print('CO2 has center =', data['co2emissions'].mean(), 'and variance(spread) =', data['co2emissions'].std() )

#co2emissions has a very high range of values,

#therefore it's useful to use its log values instead

data1 = data.copy() data1['co2emissions'] = np.log10(data1['co2emissions']) print('Log(CO2) has center =', data1['co2emissions'].mean(), 'and variance(spread) =', data1['co2emissions'].std() )

sb.displot(data1["co2emissions"].dropna(), kde=False) plt.xlabel('CO2 Emissions') plt.ylabel('CO2 Emission ditribution')

sb.displot(data["lifeexpectancy"].dropna(), kde=False) plt.xlabel('Life expectancy') plt.ylabel('Life expectancy ditribution')

#create graph showing the association between your explanatory

#and response variables (bivariate graph)

sb.relplot(x='urbanrate', y='co2emissions', data=data1) plt.title('CO2 emissions vs co2 emissions')

sb.relplot(x='urbanrate', y='lifeexpectancy', data=data) plt.title('Urban rate vs life expectancy')

sb.relplot(x='co2emissions', y='lifeexpectancy', data=data1) plt.title('CO2 emissions vs life expectancy')

OUTPUT

Urban rate has center = 56.76935960591131 and variance(spread) = 23.844932647298503 Life expectancy rate has center = 69.75352356020943 and variance(spread) = 9.708620536096552 CO2 has center = 5033261621.666663 and variance(spread) = 25738118429.892727 Log(CO2) has center = 8.344214041062171 and variance(spread) = 1.1797927281121965

SUMMARY

Urban rate has an almost symmetrical graph with a very high variance.

Co2 emissions has very skewed values and therefore difficult in interpretation with a graph, therefore I decided to use its logarithm.

Its new graph show a perfectly centered unimodal variable with relative small spread.

Life expectancy has a bimodal distribution.

From the bivariate graphs we can recognize some associations between explanatory and response variables:

We can see that urban rate has an influence on both life expectation and co2 emissions, both increasing with increasing urban rate

In the graph "life expectation vs co2 emissions" we can also see that increasing co2 emission has not a negative influence on life expectation, as it could be expected.

🌱Sustainable Living: Practical Tips for Adopting Eco-Friendly Habits🚴

🌍 Introduction

Sustainable living isn't just a trend; it's a necessity in our fast-paced, resource-consuming world. With climate change becoming a pressing issue, adopting eco-friendly habits has never been more crucial. This article provides practical tips for embracing sustainable living, backed by the latest data, historical context, and actionable solutions to overcome challenges. Let’s dive into how we can make a positive impact on the planet.

#SustainableLiving #EcoFriendly #ClimateAction #GoGreen #Sustainability

🛠️ 1. Understanding the Need for Sustainable Living

Historical Context: The concept of sustainability dates back to the early 20th century, but it gained momentum during the environmental movements of the 1960s and 70s. The 1987 Brundtland Report defined sustainable development as meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

Current Situation: In 2023, global CO2 emissions hit a record high of 40.6 billion tonnes. The Earth Overshoot Day, the date when humanity's demand for ecological resources exceeds what the Earth can regenerate in that year, occurred on July 28, 2023. This highlights the urgent need for sustainable living practices.

#ClimateChange #GlobalWarming #CO2Emissions

🔍 2. Key Factors Driving Sustainable Living

Environmental Degradation: Deforestation, pollution, and loss of biodiversity are critical issues.

Resource Depletion: Overuse of natural resources like water, fossil fuels, and minerals is unsustainable.

Climate Change: Increasing global temperatures and extreme weather events are direct results of unsustainable practices.

Health Concerns: Pollution and environmental toxins are linked to various health problems, driving people towards greener lifestyles.

#Biodiversity #Deforestation #ResourceDepletion #HealthAndEnvironment

📊 3. Challenges in Adopting Sustainable Habits

Awareness Gap: Many people lack knowledge about sustainable practices.

Economic Barriers: Eco-friendly products often come with higher upfront costs.

Habitual Resistance: Breaking old, unsustainable habits can be difficult.

Infrastructure Limitations: Lack of access to sustainable options like public transportation or recycling facilities.

Data Insight: According to a 2023 study by the World Resources Institute, 65% of consumers in developed countries are willing to adopt sustainable habits, but only 26% actually do so, primarily due to economic and infrastructural barriers.

#SustainabilityChallenges #EcoAwareness #GreenEconomy

💡 4. Practical Tips for Sustainable Living

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: Start by reducing waste. Reuse what you can and recycle properly. Simple steps like avoiding single-use plastics can make a big difference.

Energy Efficiency: Switch to energy-efficient appliances and LED bulbs. Consider solar panels for renewable energy.

Sustainable Transportation: Use public transportation, carpool, or opt for biking and walking. Electric vehicles (EVs) are also a greener alternative.

Conscious Consumption: Buy local, organic, and seasonal food. Reduce meat consumption, as the meat industry is a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions.

Water Conservation: Install water-saving fixtures and practice mindful water usage, like turning off the tap while brushing your teeth.

#GreenLiving #EnergyEfficiency #ZeroWaste #ConsciousConsumption #WaterConservation

🔄 5. Overcoming Challenges: Solutions for Sustainable Living

Education and Awareness: Governments and NGOs should focus on educating the public about the importance and methods of sustainable living.

Incentives for Green Choices: Providing financial incentives for using renewable energy or purchasing eco-friendly products can encourage more people to go green.

Community Initiatives: Local communities can promote sustainability by organizing events like clean-up drives and eco-workshops.

Policy Support: Governments need to enforce regulations that promote sustainability, such as carbon taxes and bans on single-use plastics.

Case Study: Sweden has implemented a carbon tax since 1991, leading to a significant reduction in carbon emissions. As a result, the country is on track to achieve net-zero emissions by 2045.
