1. Mining for the low-carbon transition : Conflicting discourses of sacrifice zones and win-win narratives
Master-uppsats, Stockholms universitet/Statsvetenskapliga institutionenSammanfattning : To support the transition towards a low-carbon economy, mining companies, international financial institutions and governments are preparing to drastically scale up mineral extraction of energy transition minerals such as cobalt and lithium. Mineral extraction, however, has far-reaching impacts on the biophysical environment and mining-affected communities that may become more severe under a changing climate. LÄS MER
2. Modelling gross primary production in semi-arid regions: effects on carbon uptake of intensive agriculture in southern Kenya
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapSammanfattning : Background and aim: Gross primary production (GPP) is the largest global carbon (C) flux and an important component for counteracting anthropogenic CO2 emissions, understanding vegetation dynamics, and sustaining universal human standards. Africa plays a prominent role in the global C cycle, though our understanding of GPP dynamics is largely hampered by a paucity of ground-based observations. LÄS MER
3. Energy savings in multi-family building after using an innovative retrofitting package
Magister-uppsats, Högskolan Dalarna/EnergiteknikSammanfattning : The building sector is one of the sectors that consume the most energy in Sweden. In order to deal with this problem Swedish government aims to reduce the energy consumption in the building sector 50% by 2050. Another ambitious goal set by the Swedish government is zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040. LÄS MER
4. Addressing a large-scale implementation of low-emission zones in France
Master-uppsats, KTH/Systemanalys och ekonomiSammanfattning : Air pollution is a public health issue, and traffic is one of the main sources of pollutants such as NO2, PM10 and PM2.5. Consequently, European cities have been implementing low-emission zones (LEZs) by defining regulated areas, where the most-polluting vehicles are prohibited from driving. LÄS MER
5. Increasing crop yields under climate change scenarios in Nigeria
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapSammanfattning : Climate change is projected to cause unprecedented levels of global change and it will alter the ways in which humans currently rely on getting essential resources such as food. Africa is considered to be the most vulnerable continent to this change, with many countries that have low economic stability and insecure food sources a change to the way resources can be accessed could be detrimental to the population.
