  1. 1. Assessing the Effectiveness of Urban Trees with Skeletal Soils in Flood Risk Mitigation

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

    Författare :Molly Boberg; [2024]
    Nyckelord :Flood Management; Climate Adaptation; Nature-Based Solutions NBS ; Urban Trees; Skeletal Soil; Hydrologic Modelling; MIKE; Översvämningshantering; Klimatanpassning; Naturbaserade lösningar; Stadsträd; Skelettjord; Hydrologisk modellering; MIKE;

    Sammanfattning : With increased urbanization and climate change, heavy rainfall events and urban floods are becoming more frequent. To meet the demands for effective climate adaptation strategies and mitigation measures, Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) have received increased attention. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Klimatanpassning av svensk järnväg ur ett riskperspektiv - Var står vi och vart är vi på väg

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Riskhantering (CI); Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

    Författare :Pontus Gersne; [2024]
    Nyckelord :Climate Change; Climate Change Adaptation; Critical infrastructure; Railways; weather events; extreme weather; Critical Entities; Sweden; Technology and Engineering;

    Sammanfattning : The world faces significant climate changes with potential societal disruptions and risks to critical infrastructure like railways. This study explores the topic of climate change, extreme weather, and changing travel patterns for Swedish railways. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Planning for heat resilience - A comparative study between Greater Gothenburg´s and Skåne´s work on heat

    Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Författare :Rebecca Johansson; [2023-08-17]
    Nyckelord :climate adaptation; heat mitigation; heat stress; urban planning;

    Sammanfattning : Due to climate change, it is expected that heat waves will be intensified and occur more frequently in Sweden; hence, heat-related risks are anticipated to increase, i.e., morbidity and mortality. Through heat mitigation strategies, risks associated with heat can be prevented. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Staying Afloat - Examining the Resilience of the European Inland Waterway Transportation Industry in the Face of Climate Related Disruptions: A Policy and Resilience Analysis

    Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/Graduate School

    Författare :Linnea Ahlgren; Hibaakh Jamac; [2023-07-03]
    Nyckelord :Climate Change; Inland Waterway Transportation; Inland Barge Companies; Inland Ports; Policies and Initiatives; Adaptation; Extreme Weather;

    Sammanfattning : Due to its lower emissions in comparison to other modes of transport, inland waterway transportation (IWT) has been increasingly considered a sustainable option by the European Union (EU), prompting a focus on transitioning towards it in recent years. However, the impact of climate change has led to a rise in extreme weather events, including floods and droughts, over the past few decades. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Local Governance Structure and the Level of Implementation of Climate Adaptation Measures in 653 Cities Globally

    Kandidat-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Statsvetenskapliga institutionen

    Författare :Astrid Thomas; [2023]
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Abstract: Due to limited data availability, previous studies assessing the status of climate adaptation at the municipal level are mostly limited to planned actions, which can at times be symbolic rather than substantive in nature. As a result, the true level of implementation of climate adaptation in cities has been difficult to estimate. LÄS MER
