    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; occupational heat stress; climate change; productivity; international standards; India;

    Sammanfattning : Heat stress has been studied extensively. However, in the contemporary context of climate change there is a lack of information on the extent of future heat stress and its consequences, especially in occupational settings. LÄS MER

  3. 12. Sustainable Urban and Regional Development and Related Ecosystem Services and Water-Climate Interactions

    Författare :Jessica Faye Page; Zahra Kalantari; Georgia Destouni; Bev Wilson; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; urban planning; regional planning; sustainable cities; nature-based solutions; climate change; planning support systems; sustainable development; naturgeografi; Physical Geography;

    Sammanfattning : To accommodate a growing global population while mitigating climate change, urban areas must grow while minimising environmental impacts. To achieve this, a city must be treated as a complex socio-ecological system in which many actors and subsystems act in unclear and unpredictable ways. LÄS MER

  4. 13. Shapers, Brokers and Doers : The Dynamic Roles of Non-State Actors in Global Climate Change Governance

    Författare :Naghmeh Nasiritousi; Björn-Ola Linnér; Mattias Hjerpe; Michele Betsill; Linköpings universitet; []

    Sammanfattning : Non-state actors, such as international environmental organisations, business associations and indigenous peoples organisations, increasingly take on governance functions that can influence the delivery of global public goods. This thesis examines the roles of these actors in the field of global climate change governance. LÄS MER

  5. 14. Inertia and practice change related to greenhouse gas reduction : Essays on institutional entrepreneurship and translation in Swedish agri-food

    Sammanfattning : To avoid dangerous climate change a massive reduction in greenhouse gas emissions is required in a relative short time span. However, as development is moving in the wrong direction, there appears to be great inertia in changing activities. LÄS MER

  7. 15. Hydro-climatic changes in irrigated world regions

    Författare :Shilpa Muliyil Asokan; Georgia Destouni; Howard Wheater; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Climate change; hydro-climatic change; evapotranspiration; irrigation; water demand; water balance; land-use; water-use; hydrological catchment; Aral Sea; India; Mahanadi River Basin; Physical Geography; naturgeografi;

    Sammanfattning : Understanding of hydro-climatic changes in the world’s river basins is required to ensure future food security. Different regional basins experience different levels of hydro-climatic change depending on the endorheic or exorheic nature of a hydrological basin, along with the climatic conditions and human land and water-use practices, for instance for irrigation.
