  1. 16. Homo Clima : Klimatmänniskan och den produktiva makten - styrning genom klimatförändring som bioestetisk inramning

    Författare :Annika Skoglund; Monica Lindgren; Lars Strannegård; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Homo Clima; Climate Change; Foucault; Bioaesthetics; Population; Economy; Technology; Governmentality; Regementalitet; Klimatförändring; Homo Clima; Bioestetik; Medborgare; Befolkning; Ekonomi; Teknik; Foucault; Business studies; Företagsekonomi;

    Sammanfattning : Former creative resistance to environmentally hazardous activities has during the last decades, through discussions on climate change, been increasingly reoriented by meteorology, expert knowledge and policy discourse. The ecological system’s perspective on climate change, proclaiming the human not simply as a disturbance in a natural balancing system, but as changing it, has become a causal model for the possibility to change that human.

  3. 17. Buildings in municipal climate change mitigation strategies : towards life cycle thinking

    Författare :Nicolas Francart; Tove Malmqvist; Martin Erlandsson; Paula Femenias; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; building; lca; requirement; environmental performance; futures studies; backcasting; environmental engineering; sustainable urban planning; Planering och beslutsanalys; Planning and Decision Analysis; Byggvetenskap; Civil and Architectural Engineering;

    Sammanfattning : Fulfilling climate targets requires ambitious changes. The building sector is a large contributor to emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG), but also offers opportunities for climate change impact reductions. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Modelling the Role of Nuclear Power and Variable Renewables in Climate Change Mitigation

    Författare :Mariliis Lehtveer; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; energy system model; nuclear power; multi-criteria analysis; variable renewables; climate change; optimisation;

    Sammanfattning : As the number of people on Earth and our energy needs have increased the system for providing this energy has become ever more complex and complicated and thus the need for more systematic understanding of it has grown. However, change in energy system is slow and many of the challenges that we face such as mitigating climate change need global solutions. LÄS MER

  5. 19. Modeling cost-effective climate change mitigation strategies

    Författare :Fredrik Hedenus; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : The challenge of reducing anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases calls for a wide variety of analyses to make the mitigation effort efficient and achievable. This thesis explores five different issues related to carbon abatement. LÄS MER

  7. 20. District Heating and CHP : Local Possibilities for Global Climate Change Mitigation

    Författare :Kristina Difs; G. Björn Karlsson; Louise Trygg; Thomas B. Johansson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :District heating; combined heat and power; carbon dioxide emissions; optimisation; energy policies; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

    Sammanfattning : Global warming, in combination with increasing energy demand and higher energy prices, makes it necessary to change the energy use. To secure the energy supply and to develop sustainable societies, construction of energy-efficient systems is at the same time most vital. LÄS MER
