Lessons from History for Transitions to a Low Carbon Economy
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2011-01-25)Historical experiences can provide lessons for future transitions to a low carbon economy. Although often considered a single event, the transition from traditional energy sources to fossil fuels in the United Kingdom ... -
LEVELIZED COST OF ELECTRICITY: KEY DRIVERS AND VALUATION METHODS
(Dyna, 2019-11-15)The aim of this paper is to propose an improvement over traditional approaches to the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE). Basically there are two methods available. The first one considers a yearly timeframe, so it yields ... -
Levers and leverage points for pathways to sustainability
(People and Nature, 2020-07-23)Humanity is on a deeply unsustainable trajectory. We are exceeding planetary boundaries and unlikely to meet many international sustainable development goals and global environmental targets. Until recently, there was no ... -
Life after Harvest: Circadian Regulation in Photosynthetic Pigments of Rocket Leaves during Supermarket Storage Affects the Nutritional Quality

; García Plazaola, José Ignacio ; Esteban Terradillos, Raquel (MDPI, 2019-08)
Vegetables, once harvested and stored on supermarket shelves, continue to perform biochemical adjustments due to their modular nature and their ability to retain physiological autonomy. They can live after being harvested. ... -
Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment of European beef production systems based on a farm-level optimization model
(Journal of Cleaner Production, 2022)The European Union (EU) is among the largest beef producers in the world. Besides the economic turnover, beef production causes adverse environmental impacts such as climate change. The sector is known for high heterogeneity ... -
Lima COP20: Another small step on the long road to Paris
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2015-01)The Lima summit was not expected to achieve specific agreements on the reduction of emissions, but to establish the bases of a legal document to be agreed on at the next meeting in Paris (December 2015) and of the Intended ... -
Linking Land and Sea Through an Ecological-Economic Model of Coral Reef Recreation
(Ecological Economics, 2020-11-01)Coastal zones are popular recreational areas that substantially contribute to social welfare. Managers can use information about specific environmental features that people value, and how these might change under different ... -
Linking multisectoral economic models and consumption surveys for the European Union
(Economic Systems Research, 2020)Multisectoral models usually have a single representative household. However, more diversity of household types is needed to analyse the effects of multiple phenomena (i.e. ageing, gender inequality, distributional income ... -
Linking Reduced Deforestation and a Global Carbon Market: Impacts on Costs, Financial Flows, and Technological Innovation
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2009-10-07)Discussions of tropical deforestation are currently at the forefront of climate change policy negotiations at national, regional, and international levels. This paper analyzes the effects of linking Reduced Emissions from ... -
Literature Review of Integrated Impact Assessment Models of Climate Change with Emphasis on Damage Functions
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2009-10-13)We review the literature on the impact assessment models currently used in the climate change debate. From among these we select some relevant models, highlight their important features and identify how climate change ... -
Living through multispecies societies: Approaching the microbiome with Imanishi Kinji
(Endeavour, 2022)Recent research about the microbiome points to a picture in which we, humans, are ‘living through’ nature, and nature itself is living in us. Our bodies are hosting—and depend on—the multiple species that constitute human ... -
