Assessing heat effects on respiratory mortality and location characteristics as modifiers of heat effects at a small area scale in Central-Northern Europe
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Heat effects on respiratory mortality are known, mostly from time-series studies of city-wide data. A limited number of studies have been conducted at the national level or covering non-urban areas. Effect modification by ... -
Assessment of short-term heat effects on cardiovascular mortality and vulnerability factors using small area data in Europe
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Short-term associations between heat and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality have been examined mostly in large cities. However, different vulnerability and exposure levels may contribute to spatial heterogeneity. This ... -
Assessment of the European Climate Projections as Simulated by the Large EURO-CORDEX Regional and Global Climate Model Ensemble
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)This paper analyzes the ensemble of regional climate model (RCM) projections for Europe completed within the EURO-CORDEX project. Projections are available for the two greenhouse gas concentration scenarios RCP2.6 (22 ... -
Assessment of the optimal rebound effects from energy intensity reduction
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Energy efficiency improvement is widely recognized as a cost-effective measure for clean production. In literature, the rebound effects of energy efficiency improvement represented by energy intensity reductions, potential ... -

Atmospheric concentrations of black carbon are substantially higher in spring than summer in the Arctic
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)A key driving factor behind rapid Arctic climate change is black carbon, the atmospheric aerosol that most efficiently absorbs sunlight. Our knowledge about black carbon in the Arctic is scarce, mainly limited to long-term ... -
Atmospheric methane evolution the last 40 years
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)Observations at surface sites show an increase in global mean surface methane (CH4) of about 180 parts per billion (ppb) (above 10 %) over the period 1984–2012. Over this period there are large fluctuations in the annual ... -
Balancing cost and justice concerns in the energy transition: comparing coal phase-out policies in Germany and the UK
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Europe’s two largest economies – Germany and the UK – are phasing out coal from electricity production as part of European efforts to fulfil increased climate policy ambitions that require comprehensive energy system ... -
A better integration of health and economic impact assessments of climate change
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Climate change could lead to high economic burden for individuals (i.e. low income and high prices). While economic conditions are important determinants of climate change vulnerability, environmental epidemiological studies ... -
Betting on negative emissions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage could be used to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. However, its credibility as a climate change mitigation option is unproven and its widespread deployment in climate ... -
Biofuel burning and human respiration bias on satellite estimates of fossil fuel CO2 emissions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The satellites that have been designed to support the monitoring of fossil fuel CO2 emissions aim to systematically measure atmospheric CO2 plumes generated by intense emissions from large cities, power plants and industrial ... -
Black carbon aerosol reductions during COVID-19 confinement quantified by aircraft measurements over Europe
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The abrupt reduction in human activities during the first lockdown of the COVID-19 pandemic created unprecedented atmospheric conditions. To quantify the changes in lower tropospheric air pollution, we conducted the BLUESKY ... -
Black Carbon and Precipitation: An Energetics Perspective
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Black carbon (BC) aerosols influence precipitation through a range of processes. The climate response to the presence of BC is however highly dependent on its vertical distribution. Here, we analyze the changes in the ... -
Black carbon vertical profiles strongly affect its radiative forcing uncertainty
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)The impact of black carbon (BC) aerosols on the global radiation balance is not well constrained. Here twelve global aerosol models are used to show that at least 20% of the present uncertainty in modeled BC direct radiative ... -
Blocking and its Response to Climate Change
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)Purpose of Review Atmospheric blocking events represent some of the most high-impact weather patterns in the mid-latitudes, yet they have often been a cause for concern in future climate projections. There has been low ... -
Business Models for Negative Emissions From Waste-to-Energy Plants
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Negative emissions of carbon dioxide will likely be needed to meet the <2°C warming above the pre-industrial level goal of the Paris Agreement. A major technology option is combining Biomass Energy with Carbon Capture and ... -
BVOC-aerosol-climate feedbacks investigated using NorESM
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Both higher temperatures and increased CO2 con centrations are (separately) expected to increase the emis sions of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs). This has been proposed to initiate negative climate feedback ... -
California?s cap-and-trade system: Diffusion and lessons
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)This article investigates the roles of policy diffusion and policy learning in shaping the design of California’s cap-and-trade system. On the surface, it is very similar to other cap-and-trade programs, but in practice ... -
Can conditional commitments break the climate change negotiations deadlock?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012)Can a conditional commitment by a major actor (for example, the European Union) induce other major actors (such as the USA, China, India, or Japan) to do more to mitigate global climate change? We analyse this question by ... -
Can renewable energy communities enable a just energy transition? Exploring alignment between stakeholder motivations and needs and EU policy in Latvia, Norway, Portugal and Spain
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)As a response to societal polarisation and mobilisation against the clean energy transition and renewable energy projects, policy makers at EU level have put focus on renewable energy communities as an instrument to drive ...
