  2. 16. Climate Change and International Relations : Reconsidering Interdependence, Governance and Security

    Author : Johannes Stripple; Statsvetenskapliga institutionen; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Politisk makt och demokrati; Förhandlingar; Internationell politik;

    Abstract : There is increased evidence to support the hypothesis that humanity actively, albeit inadvertently, contributes to global environmental change on a scale and with an intensity unprecedented in human history. Climate change, and to some extent stratospheric ozone depletion, present the international structures and systems for naturalresources management research and politics with fundamentally new conditions.

  4. 17. Intensifying Agricultural Water Management in the Tropics : A cause of water shortage or a source of resilience?

    Author : Yihun Dile; Johan Rockström; Louise Karlberg; Mekonnen Gebremichael; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Water harvesting; Climate change; Climate variability; Multi criteria evaluation; SWAT; CN; sub-Saharan Africa; Upper Blue Nile; Lake Tana basin; naturresurshushållning; Natural Resources Management;

    Abstract : Frequent climatic shocks have presented challenges for rainfed agriculture in sub-Saharan Africa. Appropriate water management practices are among the solutions to the challenges. The role of water harvesting in achieving sustainable agricultural intensification and specified resilience was explored. READ MORE

  5. 18. Response of Bolivian Altiplano Lakes to Seasonal and Annual Climate Variations

    Author : Ramiro Pillco; Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; ENSO; terminal lake; bathymetry; lake level; water balance; lake routing; paleolakes; climate change; precipitation pattern; intermittent rivers.; Desaguadero River; Lake Titicaca; Lake Poopó;

    Abstract : The Bolivian Altiplano is situated between two mountain ranges, the western and eastern central Andes in South America. It has two major lakes, Lake Titicaca to the north, and Lake Poopó to the south, which both are important for the nature as well as for the living conditions on the Altiplano. The two lakes are the remnants of large paleolakes. READ MORE

  6. 19. Modelling the Role of Nuclear Power and Variable Renewables in Climate Change Mitigation

    Author : Mariliis Lehtveer; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; energy system model; nuclear power; multi-criteria analysis; variable renewables; climate change; optimisation;

    Abstract : As the number of people on Earth and our energy needs have increased the system for providing this energy has become ever more complex and complicated and thus the need for more systematic understanding of it has grown. However, change in energy system is slow and many of the challenges that we face such as mitigating climate change need global solutions. READ MORE

  7. 20. Assessing the sustainability of bioethanol production in different development contexts: A systems approach

    Author : Dilip Khatiwada; Semida Silveira; Faaij André; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; bioenergy and biofuel; bioethanol industry; development trend; sustainability assessment; climate change mitigation; energy security; life cycle assessment; systems optimisation; bioenergi och biobränsle; bioetanolindustri; utvecklingstrender; hållbarhetsbedömning; motverka klimatförändringar; energisäkerhet; livscykelanalys; systemoptimering; SRA - Energy; SRA - Energi;

    Abstract : The continuous depletion of fossil fuel reserves, the global agenda on climate change and threats to energy security have led to increased global interest in the exploration, production and utilisation of bioenergy and biofuels. Access to modern bioenergy carriers derived from the efficient conversion of locally available biomass resources is indispensable for economic growth, rural development and sustainable development in developing countries.
