    Abstract : A critical task of social policy in most Western welfare states during recent decades has consisted of reducing the economic burden on society due to sick leave, by stimulating participation in the labour market. Many jurisdictions have introduced activation policies, based on the premise that work “per se” has a therapeutic effect on sick-listed workers. READ MORE

  4. 12. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions – Examples from the freight transport sector: Essays on economic growth, public policy instruments, and renewable energy

    Author : Johanna Takman; Johan Woxenius; Statens väg- och transportforskningsinstitut; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Climate change mitigation; Renewable energy; Public policy instruments; Evaluation; Modal shift; Greenhouse gas emissions; Environmental Kuznets curve; Liquefied biogas; Economic development; Freight transport;

    Abstract : The overall aim of this thesis is to improve the understanding of if, and how, we can combat climate change and other non-wanted environmental changes alongside economic development. Paper I address this question by investigating the relationship between CO2 emissions and GDP per capita. READ MORE

  5. 13. Roadblocks to Implement Electric Freight Transports : Challenges for Commercial Vehicle Manufacturers and Hauliers

    Author : Jorge Gutiérrez Chiriboga; Magnus Blinge; Maria Huge-Brodin; Uni Sallnäs; Lisa Govik; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : The freight transport industry is crucial for the global economy and a key element of all supply chains and logistics systems. The demand for freight is expected to more than double over the next three decades. Freight transport’s externalities and negative impact on the environment have been highlighted in previous research and reports. READ MORE

    Abstract : Energy infrastructure and appropriate energy policies are crucial for sustainable development and to meet Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Limiting global warming potential below 1.5oC would require “rapid and far-reaching” transitions and unprecedented changes in all aspects of society. READ MORE

  7. 15. Promises and Pitfalls of Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage : Actors' Perspectives, Challenges, and Mitigation Deterrence in Sweden

    Author : Emily Rodriguez; Anders Hansson; Simon Haikola; Stefan Grönkvist; Nils Markusson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage BECCS ; Negative emission technologies NETs ; Carbon dioxide removal CDR ; Sustainability transitions; Mitigation deterrence; Sweden; Bioenergi med koldioxidavskiljning och lagring bio-CCS ; Negativa utsläpp; Koldioxidinfångningsmetoder; Energiomställningen; Mitigation deterrence; Sverige;

    Abstract : Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) methods, such as bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS), have gained traction in international climate policy arenas to meet net-zero goals. Even though companies operating facilities with large point sources of biogenic emissions, such as pulp and paper industries and energy utilities, could implement carbon capture, there are few studies that take a bottomup perspective to study these key actors.
