Mobile source pollution control in the United States and China
(2002:01, Working paper, 2002)This paper reviews policies for the control of mobile source pollution and their potential application in China. The first section of the paper reviews the U.S. experience with mobile source pollution control since ... -
Mobility in Blue-Green Spaces Does Not Predict COVID-19 Transmission: A Global Analysis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Mobility restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic ostensibly prevented the public from transmitting the disease in public places, but they also hampered outdoor recreation, despite the importance of blue-green spaces ... -
Mobilizing Adaptation Finance in Developing Countries
(2017:02, Research report, 2017-03-23)More funding is needed for adaptation to climate change, particularly in developing countries. Mobilization of adaptation finance is difficult due to uncertainties related to frequency, severity and geographical spread of ... -
Model evaluation of short-lived climate forcers for the Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme: a multi-species, multi-model study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)While carbon dioxide is the main cause for global warming, modeling short-lived climate forcers (SLCFs) such as methane, ozone, and particles in the Arctic allows us to simulate near-term climate and health impacts for a ... -
Model studies of indirect effects on climate through changes in the chemistry of the troposphere: A summary of a Dr. scient. Thesis
(1995:06, Research report, 1995) -
Model Validity and Transferability Informing Behavioral Energy Policies
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)A number of microeconomic choice models are currently applied to demonstrate systematic biases in energy consumer behavior. The models highlight the hidden potential of energy savings from policies that target the so-called ... -
Modeling Global Carbon Costs of Plant Nitrogen and Phosphorus Acquisition
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Most Earth system models (ESMs) do not explicitly represent the carbon (C) costs of plant nutrient acquisition, which leads to uncertainty in predictions of the current and future constraints to the land C sink. We integrate ... -
Modeling the Joint Effects of Vegetation Characteristics and Soil Properties on Ecosystem Dynamics in a Panama Tropical Forest
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)In tropical forests, both vegetation characteristics and soil properties are important not only for controlling energy, water, and gas exchanges directly but also determining the competition among species, successional ... -
Modelling the international climate change negotiations: A non-technical outline of model architecture
(1997:08, Working paper, 1997)One of CICERO’s current projects – undertaken in collaboration with the Fridtjof Nansen Institute – aims at developing a model enabling us (1) to explore systematically the political feasibility of alternative policy ... -
Modern land
(Second opinions;2018:004, Report, 2018-02-26)Category: Second Opinion, Sector: Real Estate, Issuer type: Corporate, Shading: Medium Green -
Modification of heat-related effects on mortality by air pollution concentration, at small-area level, in the Attica prefecture, Greece
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)The independent effects of short-term exposure to increased air temperature and air pollution on mortality are well-documented. There is some evidence indicating that elevated concentrations of air pollutants may lead to ... -
Modifying emissions scenario projections to account for the effects of COVID-19: Protocol for CovidMIP
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Lockdowns to avoid the spread of COVID-19 have created an unprecedented reduction in human emissions. While the country-level scale of emissions changes can be estimated in near real time, the more detailed, gridded emissions ... -
Mortality Attributable to Ambient Air Pollution: A Review of Global Estimates
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Since the publication of the first epidemiological study to establish the connection between long-term exposure to atmospheric pollution and effects on human health, major efforts have been dedicated to estimate the ... -
Moving small crafts and services enterprises towards green mobility practices: The role of change agents
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The uptake of electric vans in professional enterprises has been slow, and the interest in electric mobility is low compared to that of private consumers. To understand critical barriers, resistance, motivations and drivers ... -
Moving Towards Electrification of Workers’ Transportation: Identifying Key Motives for the Adoption of Electric Vans
(Journal article, 2019)The large-scale diffusion of low-emission vehicles is required to increase the sustainability of the transport system. Statistics show strong and continued growth in the sales of electric and other low-emission vehicles ... -
Much of zero emissions commitment occurs before reaching net zero emissions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)We explore the response of the Earth’s coupled climate and carbon system to an idealized sequential addition and removal of CO2 to the atmosphere, following a symmetric and continuous emissions pathway, in contrast to the ... -
Muligheter og betingelser for felles gjennomføring etter Kyoto
(1998:02, Research report, 1998)Denne rapporten vurderer konsekvensene av Kyoto-protokollen for prosjekter om såkalt felles gjennomføring (FG, på engelsk: Joint Implementation – JI). Dette er prosjekter der aktører fra ett land finansierer tiltak som gir ... -
Multi-century dynamics of the climate and carbon cycle under both high and net negative emissions scenarios
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Future climate projections from Earth system models (ESMs) typically focus on the timescale of this century. We use a set of five ESMs and one Earth system model of intermediate complexity (EMIC) to explore the dynamics ... -
The Multi-Decadal Response to Net Zero CO<inf>2</inf> Emissions and Implications for Emissions Policy
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)How confident are we that CO2 emissions must reach net zero or below to halt CO2-induced warming? The IPCC's sixth assessment report concluded that “limiting human-induced global warming to a specific level requires … ...
