A global review of the state of the evidence of household air pollution's contribution to ambient fine particulate matter and their related health impacts
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Direct exposure to household fine particulate air pollution (HAP) associated with inefficient combustion of fuels (wood, charcoal, coal, crop residues, kerosene, etc.) for cooking, space-heating, and lighting is estimated ... -
Green electricity investment timing in practice: Real options or net present value?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)Using data from 214 hydropower projects in Norway we study whether investors in renewable energy projects exert discretion about the timing of investment decisions. We know from interviews with these investors that they ... -
Green transformation is a boundary object: An analysis of conceptualisation of transformation in Norwegian primary industries
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The concept of green transformation is burgeoning in the academic literature and policy discourses, yet few empirical studies investigate what the concept actually means to diverse actors, and how it manifests in practices. ... -
A “greenhouse gas balance” for aviation in line with the Paris Agreement
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The effects of aviation on climate pose unique policy challenges. A large fraction of the CO2 emissions (65%) is international and not (explicitly) included in the Paris Agreement. The interpretation of Article 4.1 on ... -
Guidelines for Modeling and Reporting Health Effects of Climate Change Mitigation Actions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Background: Modeling suggests that climate change mitigation actions can have substantial human health benefits that accrue quickly and locally. Documenting the benefits can help drive more ambitious and health-protective ... -
Half a degree and rapid socioeconomic development matter for heatwave risk
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)While every society can be exposed to heatwaves, some people suffer far less harm and recover more quickly than others from their occurrence. Here we project indicators of global heatwave risk associated with global warming ... -
Health and Climate Impacts of Scaling Adoption of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) for Clean Household Cooking in Cameroon: A Modeling Study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Background: The Cameroon government has set a target that, by 2030, 58% of the population will be using Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) as a cooking fuel, in comparison with less than 20% in 2014. The National LPG Master ... -
Health Benefits and Costs of Clean Heating Renovation: An Integrated Assessment in a Major Chinese City
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)China has been promoting one of the world’s largest campaigns for clean heating renovation since 2017. Here, we present an integrated cost–benefit analysis in a major prefecture-level city by combining a large-scale household ... -
Healthier and sustainable food at work and beyond: A study of user and organisational practices in a Norwegian municipal canteen
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)This paper applies a practice-theoretical perspective to the study of user and organisational practices in a municipal canteen engaged in the promotion of healthy and sustainable food in Oslo. The city council defines ... -
Heat Stress Indicators in CMIP6: Estimating Future Trends and Exceedances of Impact-Relevant Thresholds
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Global warming is leading to increased heat stress in many regions around the world. An extensive number of heat stress indicators (HSIs) has been developed to measure the associated impacts on human health. Here we ... -
High-resolution projections of ambient heat for major European cities using different heat metrics
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Heat stress in cities is projected to strongly increase due to climate change. The associated health risks will be exacerbated by the high population density in cities and the urban heat island effect. However, impacts are ... -
Historical total ozone radiative forcing derived from CMIP6 simulations
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Radiative forcing (RF) time series for total ozone from 1850 up to the present day are calculated based on historical simulations of ozone from 10 climate models contributing to the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project ... -
Household Energy Use and Carbon Emissions in China: A decomposition analysis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Although its per capita carbon emissions are still relatively low, China’s aggregated carbon emissions have grown by nearly 4-fold in the last three decades, and now it is the biggest CO2 emitter in the world. There are ... -
How aerosols and greenhouse gases influence the diurnal temperature range
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The diurnal temperature range (DTR) (or difference between the maximum and minimum temperature within a day) is one of many climate parameters that affects health, agriculture and society. Understanding how DTR evolves ... -
How can diverse national food and land-use priorities be reconciled with global sustainability targets? Lessons from the FABLE initiative
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)There is an urgent need for countries to transition their national food and land-use systems toward food and nutritional security, climate stability, and environmental integrity. How can countries satisfy their demands ... -
How much snow falls in the world's mountains? A first look at mountain snowfall estimates in A-train observations and reanalyses
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)CloudSat estimates that 1773 km3 of snow falls, on average, each year over the world's mountains. This amounts to 5 % of the global snowfall accumulations. This study synthetizes mountain snowfall estimates over the four ... -
How Regional Authorities Act Under Restricted Decentralization: Evidence from the Norwegian Transport Sector
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The literature on decentralization points out that there is a tendency to limit discretion at the local level by, for example, imposing national standards. It is therefore of interest to understand how sub-national ... -
How to make local context matter in national advice: Towards adaptive comanagement in norwegian climate adaptation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017) -
How well are aerosol-cloud interactions represented in climate models? - Part 1: Understanding the sulfate aerosol production from the 2014-15 Holuhraun eruption
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)For over 6 months, the 2014–2015 effusive eruption at Holuhraun, Iceland, injected considerable amounts of sulfur dioxide (SO2) into the lower troposphere with a daily rate of up to one-third of the global emission rate, ...
