  2. 11. Essays on Economic Modeling of Climate Change

    Author : Gustav Engström; John Hassler; Michael Hoel; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; climate change; economic growth; energy balance models; sustainability; Economics; nationalekonomi;

    Abstract : Structural change in a two-sector model of the climate and the economy introduces issues concerning substitutability among goods in a two-sector economic growth model where emissions from fossil fuels give rise to a climate externality. Substitution is modeled using a CES-production function where the intermediate inputs differ only in their technologies and the way they are affected by the climate externality. READ MORE

  4. 12. Nuclear Power as a Climate Change Mitigation Option: a Modelling Approach

    Author : Mariliis Lehtveer; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; CCS; sensitivity analysis; nuclear weapons proliferation; energy system model; nuclear power; climate change;

    Abstract : Although nuclear power can provide electricity with very low life cycle carbon emissions and thus reduce the cost of climate change mitigation, it also brings along many specific challenges: accident risk, need for radioactive waste management and nuclear weapons proliferation risk. Due to this controversial nature nuclear power, among other energy forms, has been relatively little studied in a climate mitigation context. READ MORE

  5. 13. Evaluating energy efficient buildings : Energy- and moisture performance considering future climate change

    Author : Björn Berggren; Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Net Zero Energy Building; passive house; thermal bridge; building envelope; energy performance; moisture performance; multi criteria decision making; climate change; climate scenarios; EN ISO 13789; EN ISO 10211;

    Abstract : One of the greatest challenges the world is facing is climate change. The need of reduction of energy use and an increased use of renewable energy in buildings constitutes important climate change mitigation measures. READ MORE

  6. 14. Global Adaptation Governance : Evidence from 30 International Organizations, 1990-2017

    Abstract : Human adaptation to major climate change and variability is becoming an increasing concern among both scholars and practitioners. This PhD thesis examines the engagement of international organizations (IOs) in the governance of climate change adaptation. READ MORE

  7. 15. Engendering Spatial Planning : A Gender Perspective on Municipal Climate Change Response

    Author : Christian Dymén; Göran Cars; Richard Langlais; Susan Buckingham; KTH; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Spatial planning; climate change; gender perspective; Planering och beslutsanalys; Planning and Decision Analysis;

    Abstract : While climate change mitigation has been on the agenda of spatial planning practitioners for over two decades, adaptation has only become influential in spatial planning practice in recent years. This trend is evident not only at the municipal levelbut also at the regional and national levels. READ MORE
