Local and remote temperature response of regional SO2 emissions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Short-lived anthropogenic climate forcers (SLCFs), such as sulfate aerosols, affect both climate and air quality. Despite being short-lived, these forcers do not affect temperatures only locally; regions far away from the ... -
Local biomass burning is a dominant cause of the observed precipitation reduction in southern Africa
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)Observations indicate a precipitation decline over large parts of southern Africa since the 1950s. Concurrently, atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases and aerosols have increased due to anthropogenic activities. ... -
Local food systems and community development: a symbiotic relation? A case study of three rural municipalities in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Policy makers and researchers are increasingly emphasising the need for more diversified and localised food systems. This study investigates relations between local food systems and community development, revealing how ... -
Lokale datakilder - Endelig notat
(2020:09, Research report, 2020-11)Klimaetaten, Oslo kommune engasjerte i 2020 CICERO Senter for klimaforskning og Transportøkonomisk institutt (TØI) for ekstern bistand til arbeid med lokale datakilder for klimagassutslipp, utover de som i dag brukes i ... -
Look to Sweden: The making of a new renewable energy support scheme in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)Two renewable energy support schemes have spread across Europe: green certificate schemes (GCSs) and feed-in tariffs (FITs). After a decade-long policy-making process, Norwegian decision makers decided in 2011 to adopt a ... -
Looking back and looking forward—adapting to extreme weather events in municipalities in western Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)In October 2014, an extreme precipitation event hit western Norway, which caused flooding, landslides and severe damage to infrastructure and houses. Climate model projections for western Norway show that heavy precipitation ... -
Luftfart og klima - En oppdatert oversikt over status for forskning på klimaeffekter av utslipp fra fly
(2016:05, Research report, 2016)Denne rapporten gir en oppdatert oversikt over hvordan og i hvilken grad de ulike utslippene fra flytrafikk påvirker klima basert på den nyeste forskningen. For å forstå den totale klimaeffekten av luftfart er det viktig ... -
A machine learning approach targeting parameter estimation for plant functional type coexistence modeling using ELM-FATES (v2.0)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Tropical forest dynamics play a crucial role in the global carbon, water, and energy cycles. However, realistically simulating the dynamics of competition and coexistence between different plant functional types (PFTs) in ... -
A machine learning examination of hydroxyl radical differences among model simulations for CCMI-1
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The hydroxyl radical (OH) plays critical roles within the troposphere, such as determining the lifetime of methane (CH4), yet is challenging to model due to its fast cycling and dependence on a multitude of sources and ... -
Making climate change negotiable: The development of the Global Warming Potential index
(1999:09, Working paper, 1999)One important contribution from science to environmental negotiations is the provision of scientific models, methods and concepts that may serve as decision-making tools and that hence may assist policy-makers in developing ... -
Many gases and many measures: Choice of targets and selection of measures in climate policy
(1997:04, Research report, 1997)This report discusses the economic impacts of taking a comprehensive approach to climate policy. A comprehensive climate policy implies that all relevant sources, sinks and reservoirs of climate gases are covered. From the ... -
Many Miles to Paris: A Sectoral Innovation System Analysis of the Transport Sector in Norway and Canada in Light of the Paris Agreement
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Transport is associated with high amounts of energy consumed and greenhouse gases emitted. Most transport means operate using fossil fuels, creating the urgent need for a rapid transformation of the sector. In this research, ... -
Many Strong Voices: Outline for an assessment project design
(2008:05, Research report, 2008)This document defines, guides, and supports the development and implementation of a full assessment of vulnerability and adaptation to climate change in Small Island Developing States (SIDS), under the Many Strong Voices ... -
Mapping ice in the Norwegian Arctic – on the edge between science and policy
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)n the Norwegian Arctic, petroleum exploration is prohibited north of the ice edge (the zone between solid sea ice and open ocean); the mapping and definition of the ice edge becomes the boundary for petroleum exploration. ... -
Mapping the dependence of black carbon radiative forcing on emission region and season
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)For short-lived climate forcers such as black carbon (BC), the atmospheric concentrations, radiative forcing (RF), and, ultimately, the subsequent effects on climate, depend on the location and timing of the emissions. ... -
Marine cloud brightening – as effective without clouds

Market and Non-market Policies for Renewable Energy Diffusion: A Unifying Framework and Empirical Evidence from China’s Wind Power Sector
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)We provide a comprehensive framework of analyzing the diffusion process of renewable technology, incorporating epidemic and pecuniary effects. Relying on a panel dataset consisting of information from 1207 CDM wind projects ... -
Market and policy risk under different renewable electricity support schemes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)Worldwide, renewable electricity projects are granted production support to ensure competitiveness. Depending on the design of these support schemes, the cash inflows to investment projects will be more or less exposed to ... -
Market power in the market for greenhouse gas emission permits - the interplay with the fossil fuel markets
(2002:08, Working paper, 2002)Implementation of the Kyoto Protocol is likely to leave Russa and other Eastern European countries with market power in the market for emission permits. Ceteris paribus, this will raise the permit price above the competitive ... -
Market power with interdependent demand: Sale of emission permits and natural gas from the Former Soviet Union
(2004:01, Working paper, 2004)With implementation of the Kyoto Protocol, the Former Soviet Union countries, and Russia in particular, will most likely be able to exert market power in the emission permit market. However, since these countries are also ...
