Across
- 3. An approach that moves away from the linear model of taking resources, making products, and disposing of them, and instead keeps products and materials in use for as long and at as high a value as possible.
- 6. A long-term change that is directly or indirectly associated with human activities that alter the composition of the global atmosphere, in addition to natural climate variability.
- 8. An approach that responds to the local climate, needs, materials, cultural and geographic characteristics of a particular site.
- 9. Occurs when resource consumption continues to increase but at a slower rate than economic output.
- 10. The phenomenon in which urban areas experience higher temperatures than their surrounding rural areas. Surface temperatures generally peak during the day, while air temperatures in the urban canopy layer tend to peak at night.
- 12. A visual method for identifying stakeholders and showing their relationships, influence, alliances, conflicts, and levels of importance within a project or system.
- 14. A spatial analysis tool used to collect, manage, analyze, and visualize geographic information, such as land cover, vegetation indices, and land surface temperature.
Down
- 1. Uses computational models, such as ENVI-met, to evaluate how elements such as surfaces, vegetation, and urban layouts affect local climatic conditions and indicators such as PET and UTCI.
- 2. A spatial sequence used to describe the gradual transition from natural and rural areas through suburban and urban areas toward the urban core.
- 4. The place in which plants and animals exist, characterized by particular physical features, structures, and living communities within a defined area.
- 5. Services Benefits and contributions that nature provide to people, including material resources, regulation of environmental processes, and cultural and recreational benefits.
- 7. An approach used to evaluate an organization's measurable environmental, social, and governance performance and the associated risks, particularly from an investor perspective.
- 11. Actions that protect, conserve, restore, sustainably use, or manage natural and modified ecosystems to address environmental, social, and economic challenges while also supporting human wellbeing, ecosystem services, resilience, and biodiversity.
- 13. A causal approach for organizing environmental information by connecting human Drivers, Pressures, changes in State, resulting Impacts, and possible Responses.
