Though managing vulnerabilities posed by climate change calls for effective strategies and measures, its challenges have hitherto not been fully understood. In Sweden, municipalities recently started incorporating vulnerability management into their political administrative agendas. This study discusses such experiences explores how institutional determinants may influence adaptive capacity within a local case area, to illustrate emerging opportunities Swedish in vulnerabilities....
The urban environment is a complex structure with interlinked social, ecological and technical structures. Global warming expected to have broad variety of impacts, which will add the complexity. Climate changes force adaptation, reduce climate-related risks. Adaptation measures can address one aspect at time, or aim for holistic approach avoid maladaptation. This paper presents systematic, integrated assessing alternatives reducing risks heat waves, flooding air pollution in settings, risk...
Ongoing urban exploitation is increasing pressure to transform green spaces, while there awareness that greenery provides a range of important benefits city residents. In efforts help resolve associated problems we have developed framework for integrated assessments ecosystem service (ES) and values provided by greenery, based on the cascade model. The aim provide method assessing contribution to, valuing, multiple ES can be readily applied in routine planning processes. unique as it...
This paper describes a set of studies which has attempted to make first estimate the contribution biogenic emissions secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation over Nordic countries. The comprise simulations smog‐chamber experiments and second atmospheric modeling. α‐pinene chemical mechanism suggested by Kamens et al . [1999] been extended for use in regional oxidant models. Inclusion dimer‐formation this scheme substantially improved performance some experimental conditions. Although...
Photochemical ozone creation potentials (POCP) have been calculated for 75 organic compounds and carbon monoxide. The are using different concepts; peak concentrations the average formation of ozone, including amount deposited, during two or four days. calculations were made by a single-box trajectory model with meteorological chemical conditions chosen to correspond summer high-pressure situation in southern Sweden. Under these conditions, over 96-hour average, POCPs show that ethene...
Street trees are an important part of urban vegetation due to their provisioning different types ecosystem services such as local climate regulation and contribution aesthetical recreational values. In order provide these services, need endure many stress factors not present in natural environments, the widespread use impervious surfaces vicinity street trees. However, few studies have evaluated effect this potential factor on tree growth. The aim study was therefore investigate how ground...
Knowledge about how implemented policy instruments have performed is important for designing effective and efficient that contribute to reductions of greenhouse gas emissions. This paper carries out a meta-evaluation ex-post evaluations climate in the freight transport sector. By analysing outcomes quality evaluations, aim identify whether estimated effects can be compared between if results are appropriate use evidence-based decision making. To analyse these aspects, commonly applied...
Abstract The increasing need for biomass energy and feedstocks, along with the to divert organic methane generating wastes from landfills, may provide economic leverage necessary return this type of marginal land functional use is strongly supported by policy at European Union (EU) level. produce production or feedstocks manufacturing processes (such as plastics biofuels) has, however, become increasingly contentious, a number environmental, economic, social concerns raised. REJUVENATE...
A decision support tool aiming to facilitate discussion and transparency in land-use planning processes has been developed. It includes process steps initiating with an analysis of the current situation, identification relevant actions sustainability steps. The was subdivided into human health environment, resources, social economic impacts. main difference between this risk others is allowance comparisons present risks consequences measures early process. also assessments from short-...
A consequence of the rapidly increasing demand for bioenergy is an land growing energy crops. Therefore, utilization arable this production believed to increase. Meanwhile, larger areas are also needed ensure supply food world population. Growing crops in that not suitable such as brownfields, controversy can partly be solved and several other environmental benefits achieved at same time. The total impact cultivation on contaminated depends full chain including handling residues important...
Recently, Europe is experiencing more frequent and greater floods compared to the last 500 years due climate change among other factors. This has increased associated risks, especially in urban areas, which poses a great challenge all stakeholders. To protect traffic networks from possible floods, this paper uses QGIS, remote sensing data, HEC-HMS model assess flooding events adaptation measures. Two case studies have been taken; 1) 60-mm rainstorm that occurred 2012 on main road Northern...
Abstract Atmospheric water content is important for local and regional climate, chemical processes of soluble solute species in the atmosphere. Further, vapour pressure deficit ( D ) one key controls on opening stomata plants thus an force evapotransporation, plant respiration biomass production uptake harmful pollutants such as ozone through stomata. Most meteorological stations typically measure both temperature relative humidity (RH). However, even if recorded at finer time resolution, it...
Abstract Urban environments are challenged with a plethora of wicked problems in the face rapid urbanization and land use change, not least natural capital degradation widespread water contamination. Brownfields, under-used sites real or perceived contamination, significant urban peri-urban resources which, well-designed remediation management strategies can address these concerns. Gentle options (GRO) scalable nature-based techniques which provide opportunities for multi-functionality:...
