1. 6. Unravelling the discursive fabric of climate tipping points : An analysis and structuring of views in the scientific discourse

   Kandidat-uppsats, Linköpings universitet/Tema Miljöförändring

   Författare :Elliot Franzén; Petter Alsén; [2022]
   Nyckelord :climate tipping points; climate change; discourse; ideal types; text analysis; Klimatologiska tröskelpunkter; klimatförändring; diskurs; idealtyper; textanalys;

   Sammanfattning : The notion of climate tipping points (CTP:s) has gained traction in academia. Unravelling the intricate weave of views in the discourses surrounding CTP:s can be helpful to structure the views in the discursive fabric of climate tipping points and in turn get a better understanding of the views surrounding the phenomenon.

3. 7. Climate Impact of a Nutrunner

   Master-uppsats, KTH/Maskinkonstruktion (Inst.)

   Författare :Nicole Holmgren; [2022]
   Nyckelord :Carbon footprint; life cycle assessment; nutrunner; Klimatavtryck; livscykelanalys; mutterdragare;

   Sammanfattning : Climate change is an existential threat to the world, causing environmental degradation and destruction of ecosystems. The EU acknowledges that several alarming tipping points are about to be reached, and the current level of action is not enough to avert global warming. LÄS MER

4. 8. Fractured Earth: International State Responsibility and Climate Injustice in the Context of Fracking

   Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Juridiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Juridiska fakulteten

   Författare :Sonja Román; [2021]
   Nyckelord :International State Responsibility; International Human Rights Law; International Environmental Law; climate change; fracking; Hydraulic fracturing; Paris Agreement; Third World Approaches to International Law; TWAIL; legal subjectivity; Argentina; Vaca Muerta; natural gas; fossil gas; bridge fuels; Law and Political Science;

   Sammanfattning : Medans världens fossila bränslereserver sinar har utvinningen av fossilgas genom hydraulisk spräckning, allmänt känt som fracking, vunnit mark internationellt. Parallellt med detta uppenbarar sig klimatförändringarnas katastrofala effekter och tiden är knapp för att ställa om global energiproduktion innan medeltemperaturen når så kallade ”tipping points”.

5. 9. Compartmental Models in Social Dynamics

   Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, Uppsala universitet/Avdelningen för systemteknik

   Författare :Alice Graf Brolund; [2021]
   Nyckelord :social dynamics; social models; dynamical systems; cellular automata; segregation; collective action; polarisation; decision making; social epidemic; social recovery; rumour model; SIR; compartmental models; social dynamik; sociala modeller; dynamiska system; cellulär automat; segregation; polarisering; social epidemi; ryktesspridning; SIR;

   Sammanfattning : The dynamics of many aspects of social behaviour, such as spread of fads and fashion, collective action, group decision-making, homophily and disagreement, have been captured by mathematical models. The power of these models is that they can provide novel insight into the emergent dynamics of groups, e.g. LÄS MER

7. 10. Complementing the multi-level perspective with the coevolutionary framework to conceptualise barriers to sustainable transitions in agro-food industries

   Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Ekonomisk-historiska institutionen

   Författare :Benjamin Mole; [2020]
   Nyckelord :Sustainable transitions; Multi-level perspective; Coevolutionary framework; Business and Economics;

   Sammanfattning : Sustainable transitions are essential to ensure climate and land systems do not go beyond their tipping points; however, these transitions are complex, and barriers to their success are difficult to conceptualise. The Multi-Level Perspective (MLP) is the dominant framework for conceptualising how industries transition to using green innovations. LÄS MER
