The Role of the Demand for Environmental Quality in Driving Transitions to Low-Polluting Energy Sources
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2012-08-14)This policy briefing reports on research into historical examples where the public demanded environmental improvements, government may have responded to this demand and legislation introduced may helped lead to transitions ... -
The role of the European small ruminant dairy sector in stabilising global temperatures: Lessons from GWP* warming-equivalent emission metrics
(JOURNAL OF DAIRY RESEARCH, 2021)Recent calls advocate that a huge reduction in the consumption of animal products (including dairy) is essential to mitigate climate change and stabilise global warming below the 1.5 and 2°C targets. The Paris Agreement ... -
The role of the social network structure on the spread of intensive agriculture: an example from Navarre, Spain
(Regional Environmental Change, 2021-09-01)Social networks influence decision-making in agricultural landscapes by affecting how farmers access knowledge and resources. However, researchers ignore the disparate structures built to access different kinds of knowledge ... -
The Slow Search for Solutions: Lessons from Historical Energy Transitions by Sector and Service
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2010-04-07)This paper reviews past energy transitions by sector and service to identify features that may be useful for anticipating future transitions. As the United Kingdom was the first to make the transition from traditional ... -
The socioeconomic future of deltas in a changing environment
(Elsevier, 2019)Deltas are especially vulnerable to climate change given their low-lying location and exposure to storm surges, coastal and fluvial flooding, sea level rise and subsidence. Increases in such events and other circumstances ... -
The stationary and non-stationary character of the silver fir, black pine and Scots pine tree-growth-climate relationships
(Agricultural and Forest Meteorology, 2022-10-15)Tree-growth-climate relationships are usually assumed to have a stationary character, i.e., continuous and/or time-independent, along the lifetime of the trees. The fact that non-stationarity, i.e., discontinuous and/or ... -
The Sustainability of `Sustainable´ Energy Use: Historical Evidence on the Relationship between Economic Growth and Renewable Energy
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2010-07-13)Understandably, focus on a transition to a low carbon economy has overshadowed what happens when the transition has been completed. This paper tries to offer lessons about the very long run aspects of a future economy ... -
The sustainable management of land and fisheries resources using multicriteria techniques: A meta-analysis
(Land, 2020)In recent years modern societies have attached a multifunctional requirement to the use of renewable resources, making their optimal sustainable management more complex. In the last decades, in many cases, this complexity ... -
