The Human Factor in Transmission Network Expansion Planning: The Grid That a Sustainable Energy System Needs
(Sustainability (Switzerland), 2022)The decarbonization of the energy sector puts additional pressure on the transmission network. The main cause for this is that renewable sources are often more abundant in geographical areas far away from the main demand ... -
The impact of multipurpose dams on the values of nature's contributions to people under a water-energy-food nexus framing
(Ecological Economics, 2023-04-01)The paper proposes a probabilistic approach to the assessment of the impacts of multipurpose dams. It is framed around the notion of Nature's Contributions to People (NCP) in the setting of the Water-Energy-Food nexus. The ... -
The Impact of U.S. Re-engagement in Climate on the Paris Targets
(Earth's Future, 2021)The Paris Agreement seeks to combine international efforts to keep global temperature increase to well-below 2°C. Whilst current ambitions in many signatories are insufficient to achieve this goal, optimism prevailed in ... -
The impacts of decarbonization pathways on Sustainable Development Goals in the European Union
(Communications Earth and Environment, 2024-12-01)Climate action to achieve the Paris Agreement should respect the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Here, we use an integrated assessment modelling framework comprising nine climate policy models and quantify ... -
