    Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this thesis is to improve the understanding of if, and how, we can combat climate change and other non-wanted environmental changes alongside economic development. Paper I address this question by investigating the relationship between CO2 emissions and GDP per capita. LÄS MER

  3. 12. Unravelling the social and ecological implications of policy instruments for biodiversity governance

    Författare :Niak Sian Koh; Thomas Hahn; Claudia Ituarte-Lima; Wijnand Boonstra; Johanna Alkan Olsson; Henrik Josefsson; Grace Wong; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; biodiversity offsets; commensurability; commodification; Convention on Biological Diversity; human rights; No Net Loss; Sustainability Science; vetenskap om hållbar utveckling;

    Sammanfattning : Biodiversity losses are occurring at an unprecedented rate, with ongoing environmental degradation at the expense of expanding economic activities. A transformative change is needed away from business-as-usual development and towards prioritizing the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity. LÄS MER

  4. 13. Linking environmental impact assessment and green procurement in the construction sector : opportunities and perspectives

    Författare :Rajib Sinha; Björn Frostell; Maria Malmström; Miguel Brandao; Mujibur Rahman; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Complex systems modeling; environmental accounting and monitoring; en- vironmental footprint; industrial ecology; pressure-based driver-oriented approach; Modellering av komplexa system; miljöräkenskaper och miljöövervakning; miljöpåverkan; industriell ekologi; flödesbaserad övervakningaktörsorienterad strategi; Industrial Ecology; Industriell ekologi;

    Sammanfattning : Many of the present problems that we are facing arise as unanticipated side-effects of our own actions. Moreover, the solutions implemented to solve important problems often create new problems. To avoid unintended consequences, understanding complex systems is essential in devising policy instruments and in improving environmental management. LÄS MER
