II. Implementation
Activities carried out to implement this Resolution
Activity
Education/Communication/Raising awareness
Description and results/achievements of activities:
I lecture "Lighting protection" to Environmental engineering master students at the Polytechnic University of Tirana, Albania. Students learned about the effects of light and lighting use on human health and living species in outdoor environments in urban areas. Students are instructed to measure lighting and compare them to European lighting standards, to calculate dioksid carbon emissions due to lighting well as well as to optimase lighting use and save it at night in outdoor environments in urban areas. Students were introduced to negative effects of lighting (pollution) on living species e.g. birds in urban areas.
Status
On-going
Describe any challenges encountered in implementing this Resolution and the measures taken
I lecture very basic knowledge about the effects of lighting on living species in outdoor environments in urban areas. Students are more willing to learn about lighting technology.
Please report on the result /achievement of the actions taken
Students grasped relatively new knowledge on the effects of lighting on the environment i.e., on climate that is dioksid carbon emissions due to lighting and on living species in outdoor environments in urban areas.
Identify and briefly describe what future actions/activities are planned for the implementation of this Resolution
Future action / activity
Education/Communication/Raising awareness
Description
Examples could be incorporated about the effects of lighting pollution on living species in outdoor environments.
