Promoting energy efficiency at household level: a literature review
(Energy Efficiency, 2021-01-01)
The household sector is one of the most energy-intensive sectors in Europe, and thus a focal point for reducing greenhouse gas emissions associated with energy consumption. Energy efficiency is considered a key measure to ...
Alteration of the tree–soil microbial system triggers a feedback loop that boosts holm oak decline
(Functional Ecology, 2023)
In anthropic savanna ecosystems from the Iberian Peninsula (i.e. dehesa), complex interactions between climate change, pathogen outbreaks and human land use are presumed to be behind the observed increase in holm oak ...
Paving the way for a wider use of composites in railway industry
(Springer International Publishing, 2019-05-13)
Different types of phosphorus containing halogen-free flame retardants (FRs) were added to an epoxy-dicyandiamide resin formulation in order to study to which extent they affect its glass transition temperature (Tg), tensile ...
Consumers’ preferences regarding energy efficiency: a qualitative analysis based on the household and services sectors in Spain
(Energy Efficiency, 2021)
Informational failures frequently lead consumers to make non-optimal energy-efficient purchasing decisions. Energy efficiency labels seek to influence consumer behaviour at the point of sale by reducing informational ...
A multimodel analysis of post-Glasgow climate targets and feasibility challenges
(Nature Climate Change, 2023-06-01)
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 ...
Safe and just Earth system boundaries
(Nature, 2023-07-06)
The stability and resilience of the Earth system and human well-being are inseparably linked1–3, yet their interdependencies are generally under-recognized; consequently, they are often treated independently4,5. Here, we ...
Solidaric solarities: Governance principles for transforming solar power relations
(Progress in Environmental Geography, 2023-07-31)
Solar energy has become the world's cheapest and fastest scaling electricity source. Multiple societal sectors are electrifying, and the scale and pace of change give some hope of near-future rapid climate mitigation through ...
Adaptation to climate change in cities of Mediterranean Europe
(Cities, 2023-09-01)
Cities across Mediterranean Europe face common climatic threats. They are highly vulnerable and very likely to suffer losses and damages due to heat waves, droughts, wildfires, landslides, and extreme coastal events. To ...
Quality of urban climate adaptation plans over time
(npj Urban Sustainability, 2023-12-01)
Defining and measuring progress in adaptation are important questions for climate adaptation science, policy, and practice. Here, we assess the progress of urban adaptation planning in 327 European cities between 2005 and ...
A multi-model analysis of the EU's path to net zero
(Joule, 2023-12-20)
The European Union (EU) recently ratcheted its climate ambition to net-zero emissions by 2050, with a milestone of 55% emissions cuts in 2030. This study carries out a model inter-comparison to assess the EU's path, from ...
