Wave transition in household energy use

Zhang, Rui; Wei, Taoyuan; Sun, Jie; Shi, Qinghua (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)

The energy ladder model and energy stacking model have been proposed in the literature to describe the relations between income growth and transition of energy consumed by households. Both models are largely descriptive ...

Wealth, Welfare and Sustainable Growth and Development: Challenges of Economic- and Fiscal Policies in Resource-Producing Countries

Moe, Thorvald (2011:01, Working paper, 2011)

This Policy Note discuses, based on modern development theory and wealth accounting, challenges for economic- and fiscal policies in resource-producing countries defined as countries - both developed and developing low ...

Wealth-dependent and interdependent strategies in the Saami reindeer husbandry, Norway

Næss, Marius Warg; Bårdsen, Bård-Jørgen; Tveraa, Torkild (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012)

It has been argued that decisions in relation to choosing strategies to a large degree depend on an organism's state. For nomadic pastoralists, wealth is an important state variable since it has been argued that differences ...

What controls the vertical distribution of aerosol? Relationships between process sensitivity in HadGEM3-UKCA and inter-model variation from AeroCom Phase II

Kipling, Zak; Stier, Philip; Johnson, Colin E.; Mann, Graham W.; Bellouin, Nicolas; Bauer, Susanne E.; Bergman, Tommi; Chin, Mian; Diehl, Thomas; Ghan, Steven John; Iversen, Trond; Kirkevåg, Alf; Kokkola, Harri; Liu, Xiaohong; Luo, Gan; van Noije, Twan P.C.; Pringle, Kirsty J.; von Salzen, Knut; Schulz, Michael; Seland, Øyvind; Skeie, Ragnhild Bieltvedt; Takemura, Toshihiko; Tsigaridis, Kostas; Zhang, Kai (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)

he vertical profile of aerosol is important for its radiative effects, but weakly constrained by observations on the global scale, and highly variable among different models. To investigate the controlling factors in one ...

What If Country Commitments for CO2 Removal Were Based on Responsibility for Historical Emissions?

Torvanger, Asbjørn (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)

This study explored the consequences of allocating commitments to remove CO2 to countries according to their responsibility for human-made climate change based on historical (cumulative) CO2 emissions from fossil fuel use ...

What is a heat(wave)? An interdisciplinary perspective

Boni, Zofia; Bieńkowska, Zofia; Chwałczyk, Franciszek; Jancewicz, Barbara; Marginean, Iulia; Serrano, Paloma Yáñez (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)

Excessive summer heat is becoming people’s daily reality creating an urgency to understand heatwaves and their consequences better. This article suggests an interdisciplinary analytical framework of heat(waves) as multiple ...

What might be minimum requirements for making the mechanism of Joint Implementation under the Climate Convention credible and operational

Selrod, Rolf; Torvanger, Asbjørn (1994:04, Research report, 1994)

Joint implementation (JI) is a mechanism under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (FCCC). The criteria of the mechanism are yet to be decided upon, but discussions in the International Negotiating Committee (INC) ...

What relevant information do the integrated assessment models and scenarios from the 1.5 °C special report provide for Norway?

What's in a word? Conflicting interpretations of vulnerability in climate change research

O'Brien, Karen; Eriksen, Siri E H; Schjolden, Ane; Nygaard, Lynn P. (2004:04, Working paper, 2004)

In this paper, we discuss two competing interpretations of vulnerability in the climate change literature and consider the implications for both research and policy. The first interpretation, which can be referred to as ...

What’s Fair – and Why? An Empirical Analysis of Distributive Fairness in the Climate Negotiations

Tørstad, Vegard H. (2016:04, Research report, 2016)

In the climate negotiations, conceptions of fairness plays an important role. For a climate agreement to be effective and durable, it must be conceived as fair by as many of its parties as possible. Unfortunately, there ...

When Does Informal Enforcement Work?

Aakre, Stine; Helland, Leif; Hovi, Jon (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)
