1. 16. Decision support for sustainable water security

   Författare :Karin Sjöstrand; Dale Whittington; RISE; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; risk assessment; decision support; water security; water availability; multi-criteria decision analysis; water scarcity; sustainability; drinking water supply; cost-benefit analysis; marginal abatement cost curves;

   Sammanfattning : Society’s large dependence on water, in combination with climate, socio-economic and demographic changes, places a massive pressure on our freshwater resources. As a result, water crisis, defined as a significant decline in the available quality and quantity of freshwater, is now considered to be among the most critical global risks to society. LÄS MER

3. 17. Decision Support Model for a Sustainable Regional Water Supply

   Författare :Karin Sjöstrand; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; multi-criteria decision analysis; inter-municipal cooperation; drinking water supply; cost-benefit analysis; decision support; regionalization; sustainability; economic valuation;

   Sammanfattning : Water supply provision has traditionally been a municipal responsibility. However, environmental, social and economic drivers are now making it more attractive to manage the water services in a more aggregated way. LÄS MER

4. 18. Investigating the Relation between Efficient, Effective and Sustainable Remediation of Contaminated Sites

   Författare :Robert Anderson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; effective remediation; multi-criteria decision analysis; efficient remediation; decision support; sustainability assessment; cost-benefit analysis; contaminated sites;

   Sammanfattning : Remediation of contaminated sites reduces negative impacts to humans and the environment, but the process itself is typically associated with high costs to society and large environmental footprints. The sustainable remediation concept has, over the past decade, brought increased attention to the often-overlooked contradictory effects of site remediation. LÄS MER

5. 19. Understanding the Clean Development Mechanism and its dual aims : the case of China's projects

   Författare :Qie Sun; Ronald Wennersten; Nils Brandt; Magnus Enell; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Clean development mechanism CDM ; Climate change mitigation; Kyoto Protocol; Sustainable Development; China’s mitigation strategy; Cost benefit analysis CBA ; co-benefits; Multi-criteria analysis MCA ; Analytic Hierarchy Process AHP ; Environmental engineering; Miljöteknik; SRA - Energy; SRA - Energi;

   Sammanfattning : Having been running for over 10 years, the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) is considered an innovative and successful mitigation initiative. CDM has the dual aims of helping industrialised countries achieve compliance with their emission limitation and reduction commitments in a cost-effective way, while simultaneously assisting developing countries in sustainable development.

7. 20. Intensifying Agricultural Water Management in the Tropics : A cause of water shortage or a source of resilience?

   Författare :Yihun Dile; Johan Rockström; Louise Karlberg; Mekonnen Gebremichael; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Water harvesting; Climate change; Climate variability; Multi criteria evaluation; SWAT; CN; sub-Saharan Africa; Upper Blue Nile; Lake Tana basin; naturresurshushållning; Natural Resources Management;

   Sammanfattning : Frequent climatic shocks have presented challenges for rainfed agriculture in sub-Saharan Africa. Appropriate water management practices are among the solutions to the challenges. The role of water harvesting in achieving sustainable agricultural intensification and specified resilience was explored. LÄS MER
