Environmental reporting by companies according to the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) in the context of planetary boundaries
Mádrová, Klára ; Weinzettel, Jan (advisor) ; Rusová, Nikola (referee)
Environmental reporting has been developed in response to pressures from stakeholders who demand non-financial information about companies in addition to financial information. This trend is related to the expansion of the indicators of sustainability and sustainable development and the increased interest of our society in these issues. Reporting has become one of the ways to improve the sustainability of companies and thus support sustainability in general. Environmental sustainability is determined by the concept of planetary boundaries in this thesis. This thesis first summarizes the origins and development of environmental reporting, describes its benefits and risks, and presents its standards. The thesis is then specifically focused on new proposals of European Sustainability Reporting Standards that are part of the new Directive (2022/2464/EU), which came into force 5th January 2023. There are not many scientific papers that deal with these standards yet. The aim of this thesis is to find out whether sustainability standards cover global environmental sustainability issues. It shows that the new standards do indeed cover all the themes of the planetary boundaries concept. If companies take a responsible approach to reporting and managing the issues of environmental reporting, it will probably...

Strategies for reducing the negative effects of open aquaculture fish farming on the environment - a comparison of EU and ASEAN countries
Kryčer, Jan
The aim of this thesis is to describe the differences in strategic plans for aquaculture in the Czech Republic, Sweden, Vietnam, and the Philippines. Another target that has been prioritized is the foreign and domestic investments in the development of aquaculture in individual countries. Major contributors to the sector in terms of investments are described in each country. The strategic plans were examined in terms of sustainable development and environmental pollution. The nations were chosen based on their availability of adequate indicators of freshwater aquaculture productivity and the presence of aquaculture strategy guidelines or equivalent documents. The findings indicated a substantial difference in terms of focusing on a variety of objectives. The European Union's member states have laid great emphasis on sustainability and quality, whereas ASEAN member states have placed a priority on production. However, it should be noted that Asian countries are gradually introducing more sustainable production methods. The conclusion of the thesis provides an outline of the major environmental risks associated with the development of open aquaculture fish farming. Additionally, it covers the overall differences in each state's aquaculture development strategy.

Food Security and Machine Learning: Opportunities and Challenges
Hruška, Adam ; Špelda, Petr (advisor) ; Plattner, Simon Antonin (referee)
The emergence of the effects of global warming, as well as the ongoing depletion of fossil fuels and fertile soil pose a serious threat for the future of the agricultural industry. Alternatively, the continuous population growth mainly in the less developed regions highlights the future need of approximately 70-110 percent increase in the overall output of contemporary food production. While the current conventional agriculture deploys a multitude of technologies including the precision agriculture framework, the future needs of the population exceed the projected capabilities of the industry. Machine learning as the current fastest growing technology represents the potential remedy for the emerging issues, yet the extent of successful implementation remains uncertain. The thesis aims to uncover the potential future implications of implementation of machine learning based technology in agriculture through the use of the new scenario building methodology. The analysis builds on a varying set of empirical data, current state of art projects in machine learning and multiple future trend projections. Albeit the scenario building technique allows for a potentially endless number of constructed scenarios, the thesis concentrates on three main plot lines. First scenario tackles the more probable...

Analysis of the water pricing structures in relation to objectives efficiency, sustainability and equity
Romášková, Adéla ; Slavíková, Lenka (advisor) ; Petŕužela, Lubomír (referee)
Expenditures on water are the significant part of aggregate household spending and their height depends on a design of tariff for public water supply and sewage services among others. This diploma work describes different water pricing structures used in foreign and shows how each structure can be used to achieve objectives -- efficiency, sustainability and equity. The Czech system of price making is referred to as efficient but unfair because it doesn't take in consideration households with low incomes. Because of the continual rise in prices affected by fulfilment standard of the European Union are expected future problems with social acceptability of water prices. The goal of the work is to find possible modification of regulation which might solve this problem.

Hradec, J. ; Pelikán, Emil ; Mirovský, O. ; Pillmann, W. ; Holoubek, I. ; Bandholz, T.
The European conference *Towards /e/Environment* was dedicated to information exchange among public administrations, EU institutions, environmental agencies, scientists and businesses involved in developing and using environmental informatics for the delivery of modern eEnvironment services in Europe. The conference was organised by the Masaryk University in cooperation with the Ministry of Environment of the Czech Republic, the European Commission, the European Environment Agency and the European Space Agency and further Czech institutions (CENIA, CSO, ICS AS, CHMI, CTU). The proceedings was printed in Masarykova universita in Brno (ISBN 978-80-210-4824-9).
