    Abstract : Division of labor and trade have been prerequisites for the development of welfare societies. Ironically, this specialization has caused a fragmentation of the knowledge necessary to understand risks that may undermine societal safety. READ MORE

  5. 3. Assessing Mineral Resource Scarcity in a Circular Economy Context

    Author : Hampus André; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; resource-efficiency; area of protection - natural resources; electric and electronic equipment; supply risk; scarce metals; criticality assessment; material flow analysis; life cycle assessment; circular economy; complex products;

    Abstract : Due to humanity’s dependence on metal resources there are growing concerns regarding impacts related to their potential scarcity, both for current and future generations. The vision of a more circular economy suggests that extending the functional use of metals through measures aiming for resource-efficiency (RE) such as increasing technical lifetime, repairing and recycling could reduce mineral resource scarcity.

  7. 5. The use of global data to uncover how humans shape flood and drought risk

    Author : Sara Lindersson; Giuliano Di Baldassarre; Johanna Mård; Luigia Brandimarte; Brett Sanders; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; natural hazards; hydrological disasters; environmental geography; global geospatial data; international databases; disaster losses; disaster consequences; water management; dams and reservoirs; floodplains; hydrological drought; social vulnerability; economic inequality; Anthropocene; Geovetenskap med inriktning mot miljöanalys; Earth Science with specialization in Environmental Analysis;

    Abstract : The human consequences of flood and drought disasters are widespread and detrimental. Large-scale studies, drawing on global geodata products and international databases, can systematically examine how anthropogenic megatrends shape disaster risk and test the generalisability of findings from other scientific methodologies.
