  1. 1. Climate change mitigation in China

    Författare :Bo Xu; Ronald Wennersten; Kerstin Kuchta; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; China; Climate change mitigation; Environmental Kuznets Curve EKC hypothesis; Mitigation target; Business-as-usual BAU scenarios; Policy instruments;

    Sammanfattning : China has been experiencing great economic development and fast urbanisation since its reforms and opening-up policy in 1978. However, these changes are reliant on consumption of primary energy, especially coal, characterised by high pollution and low efficiency. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Impact of Climate Change on Extreme Events: Insights from Asia and Scandinavia

    Författare :Dong An; Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Climate change; extreme events; precipitation extremes; droughts; climate variability; ENSO; climate model; climate projection; the Asia-Pacific region; scandinavia;

    Sammanfattning : As climate has warmed significantly over past decades, numerous studies have confirmed a pattern of more frequent and more intense hydro-climate events across the globe, such as floods, heatwaves, and droughts. Analyzing the variability of climate events with reliable historical data records is one of the most direct approaches for understanding its patterns of change. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Pollen productivity estimates and pollen-based reconstructions of Holocene vegetation cover in Northern and temperate China for climate modelling

    Författare :Furong Li; Marie-José Gaillard; Mary E. Edwards; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; climate; pollen-vegetation relationships; relative pollen productivity; REVEALS model; anthropogenic land-cover change; Holocene; China; Paleoecology; Paleoekologi;

    Sammanfattning : Model projections of future climate change require that coupled climate-vegetation models are developed and validated, i.e. these models should be able to reproduce past climate and vegetation change. Records of pollen deposited in lake bottoms and peat bogs can provide the information needed to validate these models. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Clean development Mechanism (CDM) Policy and Implementation in China

    Författare :Lei Zeng; Leif Gustavsson; Mälardalens högskola; []
    Nyckelord :Climate change; Clean development mechanism; CDM; CO2; Green House Gas; GHG; landfill gas; sustainable development; China; Energi- och miljöteknik;

    Sammanfattning : China is the second largest emitter of greenhouse gases (GHG) in the world. Since 68% of its primary energy is from coal, China’s average energy intensity is 7.5 times higher than the EU and 4.3 times higher than the US (EU, 2003). LÄS MER

  7. 5. Controlling Indoor Climate. Passive cooling of residential buildings in hot-humid climates in China

    Författare :Zhiwu Wang; Byggnadskonstruktion; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Byggnadsteknik; Building construction; China; hot humid climate; thermal comfort; Computational Fluid Dynamics CFD; residential buildings; roofs; indoor climate; passive cooling; cross-ventilation;

    Sammanfattning : Overheating is a paramount problem in residential buildings in hot-humid climates in China during summer. This study aims to deal with the overheating problem and the problem of poor air quality in dwellings. LÄS MER
