  2. 6. Governing Climate Change under the Paris Regime : Meeting Urgency with Voluntarism

    Author : Maria Jernnäs; Björn-Ola Linnér; Eva Lövbrand; Michele Betsill; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; global governance; governmentality; Paris Agreement; climate politics; Nationally Determined Contributions NDC ; nonstate actors; global styrning; governmentality; Parisavtalet; klimatpolitik; nationella klimat-planer NDC ; icke-statliga aktörer;

    Abstract : The climate is changing. As the global mean temperature continues to rise, the immense urgency of addressing the climate change crisis is evident. READ MORE

  4. 7. Recovery and validation of Odin/SMR measurements of mesospheric CO and H2O

    Author : Francesco Grieco; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; mesosphere; microwave limb sounding; H2O; recovery; CO;

    Abstract : Although life on Earth is concentrated in the troposphere, not only the processes happening here are of interest, since tropospheric processes are not the only ones that have an impact on the climate. Coupling mechanisms between different layers are such that changes in middle atmospheric dynamics and composition have an effect on what happens at lower altitudes. READ MORE

  5. 8. Smart Cities and Climate Targets : Reducing cities' energy use with ICT and travel information

    Author : Anna Kramers; Mattias Höjer; Åsa Svenfelt; Anders Gullberg; Frans Berkhout; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Informations- och kommunikationsteknik; Information and Communication Technology;

    Abstract : This thesis examines use of ICT in helping to reduce energy use in cities, thereby contributing to sustainable development and achievement of cities’ climate targets. It explores how targets can be developed in a consistent and transparent way, how to identify the main ICT ‘hotspots’ as regards reducing citizens’ energy use and how they can be included in city planning.

  6. 9. Multiple stressors in rotifer communities: : Effects of predation, climate change, and brownification

    Author : Huan Zhang; Enhet akvatisk ekologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Climate change; community dynamic; brownification; heat wave; inducible defense; rotifer; plasticity; multiple stressors; Predation; prey;

    Abstract : Most organisms on Earth live in an environment where they are exposed to multiple pressures, including predation and climate change. In many aquatic ecosystems, organisms have to handle additional challenges such as brownification, co-occurring with climate warming. READ MORE

  7. 10. Living the Change : Designerly modes of real-life experimentation

    Author : Martin Sjöman; Sara Ilstedt; Susanne Nilsson; Dan Lockton; KTH; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; design methods; transition design; participatory design; living labs; experimentation; sustainability; Art; Technology and Design; Konst; teknik och design; Machine Design; Maskinkonstruktion;

    Abstract : The sustainability transitions required to address the climate crisis cannot be achieved by technology alone; radical lifestyle changes are needed. To contribute to meeting this critical challenge, design must move its focus from individual needs, desires, and behaviors to the level of the complex socio-technical systems that shape our society.
