An Endogenous Emission Cap Produces a Green Paradox
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The European Union’s Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) is complemented by a Market Stability Reserve (MSR). After a major revision of the EU ETS in 2018, the MSR effectively makes the supply of allowances responsive to ... -
Smart hedging against carbon leakage
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Policy makers in the EU and elsewhere are concerned that unilateral pricing of the carbon externality induces carbon leakage through relocation of emission-intensive and trade-exposed production to other regions. A common ... -
Does solar geoengineering crowd-out climate change mitigation efforts? Evidence from a stated preference referendum on a carbon tax
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Solar geoengineering is increasingly being considered a realistic approach to managing climate change. One crucial concern is whether geoengineering crowds out efforts to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. Adding to a ... -
A comprehensive quantification of global nitrous oxide sources and sinks
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Nitrous oxide (N2O), like carbon dioxide, is a long-lived greenhouse gas that accumulates in the atmosphere. Over the past 150 years, increasing atmospheric N2O concentrations have contributed to stratospheric ozone ... -
Understanding and Managing Harmful Algal Bloom Risks in a Changing Climate: Lessons From the European CoCliME Project
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)This paper discusses the conceptual and methodological challenges to co-developing high-quality and transferable knowledge to understand and manage harmful algal bloom (HAB) risks as part of adaptation to changing aquatic ... -

Understanding model diversity in future precipitation projections for South America
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Precipitation patterns are expected to change in the future climate, affecting humans through a number of factors. Global climate models (GCM) are our best tools for projecting large-scale changes in climate, but they ... -
Global CO2 uptake by cement from 1930 to 2019
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Because of the alkaline nature and high calcium content of cements in general, they serve as a CO2- absorbing agent through carbonation processes, resembling silicate weathering in nature. This carbon uptake capacity of ... -
Distinct surface response to black carbon aerosols
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)For the radiative impact of individual climate forcings, most previous studies focused on the global mean values at the top of the atmosphere (TOA), and less attention has been paid to surface processes, especially for ... -
Public support for air travel restrictions to address COVID-19 or climate change
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)An improved understanding of public support is essential to design effective and feasible climate policies for aviation. Our motivation is the contrast between high support for air travel restrictions responding to the ... -
Understanding Top-of-Atmosphere Flux Bias in the AeroCom Phase III Models: A Clear-Sky Perspective
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Biases in aerosol optical depths (AOD) and land surface albedos in the AeroCom models are manifested in the top-of-atmosphere (TOA) clear-sky reflected shortwave (SW) fluxes. Biases in the SW fluxes from AeroCom models are ... -
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 ... -
Entering, enduring and exiting: the durability of shared mobility arrangements and habits
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Car sharing could support a transition away from private vehicle ownership and use. Attempts to understand participation in car sharing have primarily focused on minor and major disruptions which catalyse change in practices. ... -
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 ... -
Climate-driven chemistry and aerosol feedbacks in CMIP6 Earth system models
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Feedbacks play a fundamental role in determining the magnitude of the response of the climate system to external forcing, such as from anthropogenic emissions. The latest generation of Earth system models includes aerosol ... -
Perspective of comprehensive and comprehensible multi-model energy and climate science in Europe
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Europe’s capacity to explore the envisaged pathways that achieve its near- and long-term energy and climate objectives needs to be significantly enhanced. In this perspective, we discuss how this capacity is supported by ... -
National specialization policy versus farmers’ priorities: Balancing subsistence farming and cash cropping in Nepal
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The Nepali Government is currently implementing policies for a radical agricultural transformation into large-scale, mechanized, specialized and commercial farming. However, the peasants prioritize diversified subsistence ... -
Adaptation confusion? A longitudinal examination of the concept “climate change adaptation” in Norwegian municipal surveys.
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)In recent decades there has been a surge in the scholarship on climate change adaptation (CCA) terminology, and diverging interpretations of the term have emerged. Given the crucial role of local governments in building ... -
The first multi-model ensemble of regional climate simulations at kilometer-scale resolution, part I: evaluation of precipitation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Here we present the first multi-model ensemble of regional climate simulations at kilometer-scale horizontal grid spacing over a decade long period. A total of 23 simulations run with a horizontal grid spacing of ∼3 km, ... -
Energy Budget Constraints on the Time History of Aerosol Forcing and Climate Sensitivity
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)An observationally constrained time series of historical aerosol effective radiative forcing (ERF) from 1750 to 2019 is developed in this study. We find that the time history of aerosol ERFs diagnosed in CMIP6 models ...
