  1. 21. The Torneträsk System - A basis for predicting future subarctic ecosystems

    Författare :Didac Pascual; BECC: Biodiversity and Ecosystem services in a Changing Climate; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; climate change; carbon fluxes; ecosystem change; climate projections; rain on snow; modelling; impacts; snow; permafrost; winter warming events;

    Sammanfattning : Arctic and subarctic areas have experienced a rapid warming and substantial increases in precipitation in recent decades. The frequency and intensity of some extreme events, such as fires, winter warming events, extreme rainfall, and droughts, has also increased. LÄS MER

  3. 22. Green growth and rapid decarbonisation? : Assessing policy objectives, instrument choice and behavioural mechanisms

    Författare :Jonas Sonnenschein; Internationella miljöinstitutet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Climate change; Mitigation; Policy; Carbon pricing; Green growth; Market failures; Behavioural insights;

    Sammanfattning : After the 2008/2009 global financial crisis, significant policy and scientific attention has been given to ‘green growth’, which aims at the concurrent achievement of economic growth and GHG emissions reductions via de-coupling. Despite ambitious aims, there is a lack of empirical knowledge about the effects and the potential of green growth climate mitigation policies. LÄS MER

  4. 23. Governing Climate Change under the Paris Regime : Meeting Urgency with Voluntarism

    Författare :Maria Jernnäs; Björn-Ola Linnér; Eva Lövbrand; Michele Betsill; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; global governance; governmentality; Paris Agreement; climate politics; Nationally Determined Contributions NDC ; nonstate actors; global styrning; governmentality; Parisavtalet; klimatpolitik; nationella klimat-planer NDC ; icke-statliga aktörer;

    Sammanfattning : The climate is changing. As the global mean temperature continues to rise, the immense urgency of addressing the climate change crisis is evident. LÄS MER

  5. 24. Water level management of wetlands in response to current and future RCP climate change scenarios : A mesocosm experiment within climate control chambers

    Författare :Shokoufeh Salimi; Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; peatland; constructed wetland; water quality; carbon dioxide emission; ; drought; nutrient release;

    Sammanfattning : Wetlands are integral components of our natural environment since they provide many critical ecosystem services to humanity, such as water purification, climate change mitigation, flood control, and biodiversity. Although wetlands can convey resilience to some degree of changes, they might be vulnerable to climate change. LÄS MER

  7. 25. Climate Change Policy of Bio-Energy: A Computable General Equilibrium Analysis

    Författare :Rahimaisa Abdula; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; bio-energy; climate change policy; land-use change; and computable general equilibrium;

    Sammanfattning : This paper explores the intersectoral and land-use dynamics behind bio-energy�??s development as a climate change policy. Bio-energy from agriculture and forestry can potentially mitigate the emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) from energy use and land-use changes (LUC) by its substitution to fossil fuels and its diversion of land-use to biomass plantation.
