Invited perspectives: A research agenda towards disaster risk management pathways in multi-(hazard-)risk assessment
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Whilst the last decades have seen a clear shift in emphasis from managing natural hazards to managing risk, the majority of natural-hazard risk research still focuses on single hazards. Internationally, there are calls for ... -
The IPCC Sixth Assessment Report WGIII climate assessment of mitigation pathways: from emissions to global temperatures
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)While the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) physical science reports usually assess a handful of future scenarios, the Working Group III contribution on climate mitigation to the IPCC's Sixth Assessment ... -

Klimaklubbkvaler
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Norges internasjonale klimapolitikk har alltid hatt som målsetting å oppnå et mest mulig enhetlig globalt klimaregime. Parisavtalen reflekterer i stedet – og bidrar til å forsterke – et fragmentert klimaregime med et mylder ... -
Land cover change in low-warming scenarios may enhance the climate role of secondary organic aerosols
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Most socioeconomic pathways compatible with the aims of the Paris Agreement include large changes to land use and land cover. The associated vegetation changes can interact with the atmosphere and climate through numerous ... -
Land-atmosphere interactions in sub-polar and alpine climates in the CORDEX flagship pilot study Land Use and Climate Across Scales (LUCAS) models-Part 1: Evaluation of the snow-albedo effect
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Seasonal snow cover plays a major role in the climate system of the Northern Hemisphere via its effect on land surface albedo and fluxes. In climate models the parameterization of interactions between snow and atmosphere ... -
Land–atmosphere interactions in sub-polar and alpine climates in the CORDEX Flagship Pilot Study Land Use and Climate Across Scales (LUCAS) models – Part 2: The role of changing vegetation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Land cover in sub-polar and alpine regions of northern and eastern Europe have already begun changing due to natural and anthropogenic changes such as afforestation. This will impact the regional climate and hydrology upon ... -
Learning to accept welfare‑enhancing policies: an experimental investigation of congestion pricing
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Welfare-enhancing policies such as congestion pricing are argued to improve efficiency in situations with externalities. Unfamiliarity and lack of any personal experience with such policies, however, can hinder their ... -
Lessons from COVID-19 for managing transboundary climate risks and building resilience
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)COVID-19 has revealed how challenging it is to manage global, systemic and compounding crises. Like COVID-19, climate change impacts, and maladaptive responses to them, have potential to disrupt societies at multiple scales ... -
Like having an electric car on the roof: Domesticating PV solar panels in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)Worldwide, the number of electricity end-users who produce electricity and feed it to the grid, denoted ‘prosumers’, is increasing. Following innovations in policy, technology (e.g. inverters, smart meters), tariffing and ... -
The limited influence of climate norms on leisure air travel
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)This paper adds to our understanding of how people’s climate change concern and norms influence their leisure air travel. It does so by examining the roles of Norwegians’ beliefs about climate change and emissions from air ... -
Limiting global warming to 1.5 °C will lower increases in inequalities of four hazard indicators of climate change
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Clarifying characteristics of hazards and risks of climate change at 2 °C and 1.5 °C global warming is important for understanding the implications of the Paris Agreement. We perform and analyze large ensembles of 2 °C ... -
Linking the emissions trading schemes of Europe and China - Combining climate and energy policy instruments
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Both Europe and China have announced targets for greenhouse gas emissions reduction and renewable energy development. To achieve their emissions targets, Europe has introduced emissions trading scheme (ETS) since 2005 and ... -
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. ...
