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

    Author : Qie Sun; Ronald Wennersten; Nils Brandt; Magnus Enell; KTH; []
    Keywords : 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;

    Abstract : 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.

  4. 22. Diversifying crop rotations for sustainable production and climate change adaptation

    Author : Alessio Costa; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Industrial cropping systems are increasingly simplified, with fewer crops being grown, requiring extensive use of inputs, and contributing to environmental pollution and climate change. Solutions are needed to reduce the negative effects, while retaining productivity in the face of increasingly frequent detrimental climatic conditions. READ MORE

    Abstract : Biochar – the carbon rich residue derived from biomass pyrolysis – is recognised as a potential solution to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, while simultaneously delivering socio-environmental benefits through biochar use as a material. Perceived as a sustainable innovation, biochar has raised interest throughout the world. READ MORE

  6. 24. Environmental-flow assessments for current and future run-off in a large river system regulated for hydropower production

    Author : Åsa Widén; Roland Jansson; Birgitta Malm-Renöfält; Michael McClain; Umeå universitet; []

    Abstract : In 2019, Sweden implemented legislative changes to renegotiate hydropower permits to both consider environmental rehabilitation and to ensure national supply of hydropower. This means that efforts for environmental rehabilitation of the 2,000 hydropower plants in Sweden need to be considered. READ MORE

  7. 25. Plankton communities in a changing world - responses to temperature, brownification and lake restoration
