1. 6. Mandating transparency on deforestation and ecosystem conversion

   Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Internationella miljöinstitutet

   Författare :Moritz Driescher; [2023]
   Nyckelord :sustainability reporting; mandatory disclosure; deforestation; ecosystem conversion; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Sammanfattning : The production of eggs, meat, and dairy products in the EU indirectly contributes to deforestation and ecosystem conversion (DEC) in Latin America due to extensive imports of soy for animal feed. This thesis explores under which preconditions the mandatory European Sustainability Reporting Standards for the agriculture and farming sector can increase transparency in the opaque soy supply chains and incentivize reductions of imported DEC.

3. 7. Forest growth under future climate change in the context of bioenergy – case studies of combined heat and power plants in Sweden

   Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Författare :Chi Yuen Hui; [2023]
   Nyckelord :Physical Geography; Climate Change; Ecosystem Modelling; LPJ-GUESS; BECCS; Geomatics; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Sammanfattning : The pressure to achieve net-zero emissions has pushed for new technologies including carbon capture and storage (CCS) based on the combustion of biomass (BECCS). While bioenergy is a relatively mature industry in Sweden, the addition of CCS may increase the demand for local biomass. LÄS MER

4. 8. 3D geospatial data requirements for simulating noise using the Nord2000 model: Case study of the impact of building façade types and roof configurations on simulated traffic noise levels

   Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Författare :Soraya Hosseinvash Azari; [2023]
   Nyckelord :Physical Geography; Ecosystem Analysis; noise simulation; traffic; Nord2000 model; building façade types; roof configurations; geospatial data; 3CIM; SoundPLAN; acoustic properties; urban areas; 3D city model; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Sammanfattning : The European Union implements the Environmental Noise Directive (END), which offers a framework for evaluating and assessing environmental noise. All EU members are required to create strategic noise maps to inform the public about noise pollution and its effects. LÄS MER

5. 9. Influence of structural complexity of the Rumperöd forest on evapotranspiration

   Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Författare :Madeleine Durdek; [2023]
   Nyckelord :Forest structural complexity; evapotranspiration; vapour pressure deficit; eddy covariance; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Sammanfattning : The influence of Forest Structural Complexity (FSC) on evapotranspiration (ET) was investigated in a mixed forest of Southern Sweden where micrometeorological Eddy Covariance (EC) measurements were conducted for the years 2015 to 2022. For each year, the top 25% of Vapour Pressure Deficit (VPD) were selected to emphasize the response of ET to the driest atmospheric conditions. LÄS MER

7. 10. On the Carbon Border: The Western Balkans and the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism

   Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Centrum för miljö- och klimatvetenskap (CEC)

   Författare :Daniella Andersson; [2023]
   Nyckelord :Western Balkan; European Union EU ; Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism; Earth and Environmental Sciences; Social Sciences;

   Sammanfattning : In May 2023, the EU adopted a crucial part of their updated climate policy, the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). This thesis poses questions about how this novel legislation affects the EUs South-Eastern neighbours, the Western Balkans (WB). LÄS MER
