    Sammanfattning : The purpose of the thesis is to increase understanding of the impact of financial institutions on regional growth. It helps to develop established concepts and perceptions on the impact of financial institutions on economic development in less well-functioning regions. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Steering green buses : The opportunities and challenges of introducing renewable fuel in public transport

    Författare :Malin Aldenius; Miljö- och energisystem; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Public transport; Renewable fuel; Electric buses; Sustainable transport; Green public procurement; Environmental requirements;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis is to compare and analyse the introduction of renewable fuel in the public transport sector, focusing on the challenges and opportunities encountered by involved stakeholders on the regional and local levels. The results contribute to answering three research questions: 1) How do organisational factors and local and regional contextual factors influence the introduction of renewable fuel? 2) What are the challenges and opportunities of using green public procurement as a policy tool to introduce renewable fuel in the public transport sector? 3) How do the challenges and opportunities regarding the introduction of renewable fuel differ depending on the type of renewable fuel? Four papers are included in the thesis. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Decentralization in energy systems - Low-carbon technologies and sector coupling on the household, community and city scales

    Sammanfattning : Energy infrastructure and appropriate energy policies are crucial for sustainable development and to meet Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Limiting global warming potential below 1.5oC would require “rapid and far-reaching” transitions and unprecedented changes in all aspects of society. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Bending the Curve – the Role and Interplay of Municipal Energy Planning and Municipal Spatial Planning for Climate Change Mitigation in Sweden

    Författare :Vincent Wretling; Berit Balfors; Ulrika Gunnarsson-Östling; Christina Hörnberg; Catalina Turcu; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; local energy and climate planning; municipal comprehensive planning; wind power planning; climate policy integration; Strategic Environmental Assessment; institutional capacity building; Land and Water Resources Engineering; Mark- och vattenteknik;

    Sammanfattning : The global climate is changing rapidly, which pronounces the need for imminently bending the curve of greenhouse gases emissions. The local authorities have been recognised as key actors in this decarbonisation, due to their wide-ranging responsibilities, including different mandates for local planning. LÄS MER
