(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2015-07)Environmental justice constitutes an instrumental element for conservation. - Environmental justice is based on the principles of equity, recognition of different values and inclusive decision processes. - Social equity ... -
¿Están las ciudades españolas adaptándose al cambio climático?
(Papeles De Economía Española, 2020-06-30)After the Paris Agreement and the incorporation of national commitments in adaptation, the measurement of progress in adaptation has become an important part of the international climate policy agenda. Monitoring the ... -
Estimating soil organic carbon changes in managed temperate moist grasslands with RothC
(PLoS ONE, 2021-08-01)Temperate grassland soils store significant amounts of carbon (C). Estimating how much livestock grazing and manuring can influence grassland soil organic carbon (SOC) is key to improve greenhouse gas grassland budgets. ... -
Estimation of the significance of the Foster's wavelet spectrum by means of the permutation test, and applications to paleoclimate records
(Instituto Geologico y Minero de Espana, 2018)Here we propose a permutation test-a non-parametric computing-intensive test-to evaluate the statistical significance of the Foster s wavelet spectrum by means of Monte Carlo simulations. A procedure (algorithm) is introduced ... -
European biofuels policy and its contribution to a low carbon future
Capellán Pérez, Iñigo; Ansuategui Cobo, José Alberto
; Galarraga, Ibon (Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2015-12)
•There is an increasing urgency of decarbonising the EU transport sector. •Biofuels are expected to play a significant role in the transition to a low-carbon economy. •The EU has intensively promoted biofuels since 2000, ... -
European patterns of local adaptation planning—a regional analysis
(Regional Environmental Change, 2024-06-01)While European regions face a range of different climate hazards, little is known about how these differences affect local climate adaptation planning. We present an analytical framework for evaluating local climate ... -
Evaluating governance and participatory processes in Natura 2000: lessons learned and guidance for future prospects
; Etxano Gandariasbeitia, Iker; (Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2012-10)
In recent years, participatory approaches have been incorporated in decision-making processes as a way to strengthen the bonds between diverse areas of knowledge and social actors in natural resources management and ... -
Evaluating integrated impacts of low-emission transitions in the livestock sector
(Elsevier, 2020)This paper provides the results of a combined qualitative and quantitative assessment of key impacts for two low-emission transition pathways for the Dutch livestock sector. These impacts or side-effects can be positive ... -
Evaluating social learning in participatory mapping of ecosystem services
(Taylor and Francis, 2019)Recent studies have shown the opportunities and limitations of participatory mapping for ecosystem services management, although it is an incipient research area. One of the research questions yet to be addressed is whether ... -
Evaluating the role of energy efficiency labels in the prices of household appliances: the case of refrigerators
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2011-04-28)This article uses an statisticalmethod to estimate the price premium paid for the highest energy-efficiency label (A+) in the refrigerators market of the Basque Autonomous Community (Spain). The estimated figure is 8.9% ... -
Evaluating the Role of Energy Efficiency Labels: the Case of Dish Washers
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2010-05-17)This article uses the hedonic approach to estimate how much is paid for the energy efficiency label on the dishwasher market in Spain. The estimated figure is 15.6% of the final price. This accounts for about 80€ of ... -
Evaluating the role of energy efficiency labels: the case of Dish Washers
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2010-09-23)This article uses the hedonic approach to estimate how much is paid for energy efficiency in the dishwasher market in Spain. The estimations suggest that 15.6% of the final price is paid for the characteristic represented ... -
Evaluating three-pillar sustainability modelling approaches for dairy cattle production systems
(Sustainability (Switzerland), 2021)Milk production in Europe is facing major challenges to ensure its economic, environmental, and social sustainability. It is essential that holistic concepts are developed to ensure the future sustainability of the sector ... -
Evaluation of a cross-border electricity interconnection: The case of Spain-France
(Energy, 2021-10-15)This paper focuses on the economics of a cross-border transmission interconnector. The domestic spot electricity price is modelled as a stochastic process with mean reversion and jumps; it also includes a deterministic ... -
Evaluation of habitat protection under the European Natura 2000 conservation network The example for Germany
(PLoS One, 2018)The world´s largest network of protected areas Natura 2000 (N2000) has been implemented to protect Europe´s biodiversity. N2000 is built upon two cornerstones, the Birds Directive, which lists 691 bird species (plus one ... -
Evaluation of two alternative carbon capture and storage technologies
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2013-05-16)* Carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) is one of the technologies for fighting climate change in the future. The use of CO2 for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) paired with storage in deep saline formations (DSF) could ... -
Evaluation of Two Alternative Carbon Capture and Storage Technologies: A Stochastic Model
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2013-03-03)In this paper we evaluate two alternative CCS technologies of a coal-fired power plant from an investor’s point of view. The first technology uses CO2 for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) paired with storage in deep saline ... -
Everyday adaptation practices by coffee farmers in three mountain regions in Africa
(Ecology and Society, 2022)Mountain environments in East Africa experience more rapid increases in temperature than lower elevations, which, together with changing rainfall patterns, often negatively affect coffee production. However, little is known ... -
Evolutionary dynamics of higher-order interactions in social networks
(Nature Human Behaviour, 2021)We live and cooperate in networks. However, links in networks only allow for pairwise interactions, thus making the framework suitable for dyadic games, but not for games that are played in larger groups. Here, we study ... -
