1. 1. Electrification and implementation of an uninterruptable power supply system at a medical center in the Talara Province, Peru

   Master-uppsats, KTH/Kemiteknik

   Författare :Johnny Hagelin; [2023]
   Nyckelord :Photovoltaic engineering; Minor Field Study; Energy Resilience; UPS system; Energy poverty; Solcellsteknik; fältstudie; energiresiliens; UPS-system; energifattigdom;

   Sammanfattning : Marginalisering gällande tillgång till elektricitet utgör en betydande utmaning i avlägsna områden i Peru. Elnätets stabilitet är låg och detta utgör ett hot mot viktig infrastruktur såsom sjukhus och vårdcentraler. LÄS MER

3. 2. The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement Climate Finance Strategy in Southeast Asia: Enabling Conditions for Regional Climate Finance Readiness

   Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

   Författare :Claire Lucienne Jeanne Coviaux; [2022]
   Nyckelord :Climate finance; climate finance readiness; enabling conditions; capacity-building; Southeast Asia; International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement; International Committee of the Red Cross; International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies; Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Centre; Philippine Red Cross; National Societies; Technology and Engineering;

   Sammanfattning : Southeast Asia is the hardest-hit region worldwide regarding the frequency and severity of natural hazards, which are deemed to increase significantly in the incoming years. The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement (RCRC) in Southeast Asia, through its International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) Asia Pacific Regional Office (RO), IFRC Country Cluster Support Teams (CCSTs) in Bangkok and Jakarta, and National Societies, provides tireless support on the ground to save countless lives from climate-related hazards such as floods, droughts, and typhoons.

4. 3. From safety code to safety in operations : A qualitative study of safety management within five companies operating in the Swedish shipping industry

   Master-uppsats, KTH/Ergonomi

   Författare :Johannah Olsson; [2020]
   Nyckelord :Safety management; Safety management system; Swedish shipping companies; resilience engineering; complex socio-technical systems;

   Sammanfattning : The maritime industry is vital to the Swedish trade and economy. Shipping has less environmental impact per ton transported goods than other transport modes. Furthermore, ships use the sea as their roads, thus not requiring additional impact on the environment in the form of building roads or tracks to be able to transport goods or people. LÄS MER

5. 4. Water Sensitive Urban Design (WSUD) as a climate adaptation strategy

   Master-uppsats, KTH/Urbana och regionala studier

   Författare :Andrea Fumero; [2020]
   Nyckelord :Water Sensitive Urban Design; Flooding; Resilience; Climate adaptation; Rotterdam; Copenhagen; Malmö; PHVision;

   Sammanfattning : “Global floods and extreme rainfall events have surged by more than 50% in the past decade and recent studies show that they are occurring four times higher than in 1980” (Neslen, 2018). At the same time, the urban population is rising. LÄS MER

7. 5. Critical Infrastructure Resilience – Comparing Swedish critical infrastructures based on interruption data

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