  1. 16. Urban flood risk mitigation : A perspective form urban planning

    Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Författare :Andreas Brandow; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Urban indicators; Resilience; Urban flooding; Flood protection and mitigation; Luleå;

    Sammanfattning : Due to the global warming and climate change, an increased frequency of high intensity rains and other disasters are expected all around the world. To predict this change in climate the IPCC has created a set of climate scenarios, RCPs, that will try to predict the future climate based on how much we are able to adapt and mitigate the effects we as a species have on the environment.

  3. 17. Can urban tree re-inventories inform future species selection? : diameter at breast height as an indicator for tree performance in Malmö municipality’s tree database

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Landscape Architecture, Planning and Management (from 130101)

    Författare :Hannah Kit Kraynick Braegelmann; [2023]
    Nyckelord :DBH; ; diameter at breast height; tree inventories; tree re-inventories; urban forestry; species selection; tree management;

    Sammanfattning : Using the inventory database of trees for Malmö municipality, Sweden, this study explored the potential of using the diameter at breast height (DBH) measurement in re-inventories, as a decision-making tool for species selection and management in urban forests. With the escalating pressures of urbanization and unpredictable climate change effects, there is an urgent need for urban forest managers to possess reliable tools that can facilitate the selection of resilient tree species capable of thriving in diverse and changing urban contexts.

  4. 18. Demographic equilibrium modelling of single tree selection stands in Siljansfors : judging the sustainability of single tree selection systems in Sweden

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and Management

    Författare :Ludwig Olofsson; [2023]
    Nyckelord :CCF; continuous cover forestry; single tree selection; equilibrium models; forestry;

    Sammanfattning : Lately debates have occurred questioning the rotation system, which is the most used silvicultural system in Sweden. Continuous cover forestry (CCF) has therefore been suggested as an alternative management method, due to its environmental benefits such as increased biodiversity and higher resilience against extreme weather which is important with the current climate change.

  5. 19. Adapting to Extreme Weather Events : - Addressing Flood Risks Through Planning and Policy in Namibia

    Master-uppsats, Blekinge Tekniska Högskola/Institutionen för fysisk planering

    Författare :Tim Licke; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Spatial planning; strategical spatial planning; planning; adaptation; climate; resilience; floods; town planning; Namibia; Efundja; Implementation; climate change; extreme weather; policy; mitigation; Fysisk planering; strategisk fysisk planering; planering; anpassning; klimat; motståndskraft; översvämningar; stadsplanering; Namibia; Efundja; Implementering; klimatförändringar; extremväder; policy;

    Sammanfattning : This master thesis investigates planning initiatives to address extreme weather events' impacts, specifically focusing on floods in Namibia. The study highlights the significance of such events in the context of global climate change, emphasising their adverse effects on livelihoods, particularly in rural communities and informal settlements.

  7. 20. Development of a Product Circularity Indicator Suitable for the EPD-scheme of Construction Products : A Review of Product Circularity Indicators and their Potential Applicability in EPDs for the Construction Sector

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Författare :Anna Hallberg; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Circular Economy; Product Circularity; Indicator; EPD; Construction Products; Green Buildings; Cirkulär Ekonomi; Produktcirkuläritet; Indikator; EPD; Byggprodukter; Hållbara Byggnader;

    Sammanfattning : A change in resource consumption patterns is crucial to avoid climate change, reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and to increase climate resilience and consequently, the idea of a circular economy (CE) has gained widespread attention. The resource intense building and construction sector has become subject to both internal and external pressure to become more circular. LÄS MER
