2. 1. The global energy system through a prism of change : The oil & gas industry and the case of the Arctic

   Author : Maria Morgunova; Vladimir Kutcherov; Pär Blomkvist; Stefan Andreasson; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; global energy system; energy industry; oil gas industry; Arctic offshore; change; transformation; sustainable energy transition; industrial dynamics; multi-level perspective; development blocks; globalt energisystem; energibranschen; olje- och gasindustrin; Arctic offshore; förändring; omvandling; hållbar energiövergång; industriell dynamik; flernivå perspektiv; utvecklingsblock; Industriell ekonomi och organisation; Industrial Economics and Management;

   Abstract : The energy industry as a whole and the oil & gas industry in particular is experiencing changes under the influence of a variety of trends and the changing needs of society. Current social, economic, environmental and climate challenges are raising sharp questions for the established principles of energy production and consumption, increasingly arguing for sustainable trajectories in the development of the global energy system.

5. 3. Mobility Management and Climate Change Policies

   Author : Markus Robèrt; Folke Snickars; Tom Rye; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Strategic Sustainable Development SSD ; Backcasting; Greenhouse gas emissions; Traffic planning; Company travel planning; Mobility Management; Civil engineering and architecture; Samhällsbyggnadsteknik och arkitektur;

   Abstract : Globally, the transport system faces a paradigmatic shift where, in addition to increased local traffic problems, climate change and depletion of fossil oil reserves will foster a successive transition to renewable fuels and a need for more resource-efficient mobility management and communication alternatives. Foresighted countries, cities or companies taking the lead in adapting to these tougher conditions might well not only solve those problems, but also turn the problems into business advantages.
