1. Evaluating a Carbon Tax : France as a Case Study - CO2 Emissions from Cars
Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of EconomicsSammanfattning : This quasi-experimental study is the first to evaluate the French experience of adding a carbon tax directly onto existing taxes on fossil fuel consumption by performing an econometric case study. Furthermore, the introduction of the French carbon tax resulted in the so called “yellow vests protests”, the protests acted as a catalyst, and further stressed the need to evaluate environmental taxes, not only in relation to combating global warming but also regarding the procedures of providing information to the public.

3. Plaster för framtidens cirkulära ekonomi
Kandidat-uppsats, Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomiSammanfattning : Riksdagen (2020) har beslutat att Sveriges långsiktiga ekonomi ska styras successivt över från dagens konsumtionsekonomi mot en mer hållbar cirkulär ekonomi men ändå tyckts det enligt flera av de källor som har använts att det går alldeles för långsamt med övergången. Europeiska Kommissionen (2015) beskriver den cirkulära ekonomin som “… där värdet av produkter, material och resurser bibehålls i en ekonomi så länge som möjligt och där genereringen av avfall minimeras, som ett viktigt bidrag till EU:s ansträngningar för att utveckla en hållbar, låg koldioxid, resurseffektiv och konkurrenskraftig ekonomi”.

5. Sustainability for Whom? The discursive framing of ‘sustainable biofuels’ in the EU and Indonesia
Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Statsvetenskapliga institutionenSammanfattning : In order to transform the fossil fuel dependent transport sector the promotion of biofuels has been crucial in the European Union’s transition towards climate neutrality. To ensure the sustainability of biofuels the European Commission published a Delegated Act on March 13th 2019, proposing the gradual phase-out of high emitting biofuels that may cause indirect land use change (ILUC) – one of them being palm oil.
