  1. 16. Perceptions of barriers to climate change adaptation by Uppsala farmers

    Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Författare :Alan Saritas; [2019]
    Nyckelord :Sustainable development; Climate change adaptation; Nordic agriculture; Adaptation decision-making; Barriers to adaptation; Farmers;

    Sammanfattning : Current emissions are likely to produce substantial impacts for the agricultural sector and the salience for adapting to these changes in the agricultural sector is increasing. While Nordic agriculture is faced with both opportunities and challenges from climate change, a still developing political and institutional structure in combination with an extreme drought during the summer of 2018 is exacerbating existing long-term trends of financial pressure in the sector, particularly for meat and dairy farmers.

  3. 17. Development of a GIS model for water accounting in Jordan: focus on irrigation and energy usage in the water sector

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Författare :Daniel Pastor Pascual; [2019]
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : With a water availability of less than 100 m3 per capita and year, Jordan is suffering extreme water-scarcity. To its intrinsic limited water resources more pressure is being added every year as a result of socioeconomic factors, such as the accelerated population growth, and a reduction of rainfalls and increase of evaporation as consequence of climate change.
