Prevent or repair? Experimental evidence from providing incentives for climate resilient housing in Vietnam
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)We present results from a randomized field experiment in Da Nang in Central Vietnam. We assess the take-up and impacts of a microcredit program that aims to increase the adoption of climate resilient housing among low-income ... -
Environmental and nutritional assessment of young children’s diets in Norway: comparing the current diet with national dietary guidelines and the EAT-Lancet reference diet
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Purpose Introducing healthy and sustainable diets early in life can promote lifelong healthy dietary patterns with a low environmental impact. Therefore, we aimed to estimate the environmental and nutritional consequences ... -
Natural short-lived halogens exert an indirect cooling effect on climate
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Observational evidence shows the ubiquitous presence of ocean-emitted short-lived halogens in the global atmosphere1,2,3. Natural emissions of these chemical compounds have been anthropogenically amplified since pre-industrial ... -
A multi-model assessment of the Global Warming Potential of hydrogen
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)With increasing global interest in molecular hydrogen to replace fossil fuels, more attention is being paid to potential leakages of hydrogen into the atmosphere and its environmental consequences. Hydrogen is not directly ... -
Neglected implications of land-use and land-cover changes on the climate-health nexus
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Climate change can substantially affect temperature-related mortality and morbidity, especially under high greenhouse gas emission pathways. Achieving the Paris Agreement goals require not only drastic reductions in fossil ... -
Changes in design precipitation over the Nordic-Baltic region as given by convection-permitting climate simulations
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The increased risk of flooding due to global warming and subsequent heavy rainfall events in the Nordic-Baltic region, call for recommendations directed at long-term planning. One example of such recommendations are climate ... -
A multimodel analysis of post-Glasgow climate targets and feasibility challenges
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The COP26 Glasgow process resulted in many countries strengthening their 2030 emissions reduction targets and announcing net-zero pledges for 2050–2070 but it is not clear how this would impact future warming. Here, we use ... -
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 ... -
What If Country Commitments for CO2 Removal Were Based on Responsibility for Historical Emissions?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)This study explored the consequences of allocating commitments to remove CO2 to countries according to their responsibility for human-made climate change based on historical (cumulative) CO2 emissions from fossil fuel use ... -
Does polycentrism deliver? A case study of energy community governance in Europe
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The European Union's Clean Energy Package (CEP) plans to transform ‘passive consumers’ into ‘active citizens’ to support the transition to a carbon-neutral energy system by 2050. By stimulating the growth of renewable ... -
Observations suggest that North African dust absorbs less solar radiation than models estimate
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Desert dust accounts for a large fraction of shortwave radiation absorbed by aerosols, which adds to the climate warming produced by greenhouse gases. However, it remains uncertain exactly how much shortwave radiation dust ... -
Sustainable sharing in local communities: exploring the role of social capital
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)There are many forms of sharing occurring in local communities that can help reduce overconsumption and mitigate the continuous growth of climate emissions. Lately, traditional forms of local sharing have been supplemented ... -
Air pollution impacts on in-hospital case-fatality rate of ischemic stroke patients
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Background: A growing body of evidence suggests that air pollution exposure is associated with an increased risk for cardiovascular diseases. Data regarding the impact of long-term air pollution exposure on ischemic stroke ... -
Changes in Land Cover and Management Affect Heat Stress and Labor Capacity
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Global warming is expected to exacerbate heat stress. Additionally, biogeophysical effects of land cover and land management changes (LCLMC) could substantially alter temperature and relative humidity locally and non-locally. ... -
Cost reduction in low-carbon hydrogen: effective but insufficient to mitigate carbon emissions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Many countries have announced hydrogen promotion strategies to achieve net zero CO2 emissions around 2050. The cost of producing low-carbon (green and blue) hydrogen has been projected to fall considerably as production ... -
A decentralized approach to model national and global food and land use systems
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The achievement of several sustainable development goals and the Paris Climate Agreement depends on rapid progress towards sustainable food and land systems in all countries. We have built a flexible, collaborative modeling ... -

(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Purpose Introducing healthy and sustainable diets early in life can promote lifelong healthy dietary patterns with a low environmental impact. Therefore, we aimed to estimate the environmental and nutritional consequences ... -
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 ... -
‘I prefer to own what I use’: Exploring the role of emotions in upscaling collaborative consumption through libraries in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The generalisation of collaborative consumption as a practice embedded in everyday practices such as cooking, cleaning, repairing, commuting, and exercising can reduce material and resource use, but has not yet achieved ... -
Surface warming and wetting due to methane’s long-wave radiative effects muted by short-wave absorption
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Although greenhouse gases absorb primarily long-wave radiation, they also absorb short-wave radiation. Recent studies have highlighted the importance of methane short-wave absorption, which enhances its stratospherically ...
