Coupling circularity performance and climate action: From disciplinary silos to transdisciplinary modelling science
(Sustainable Production and Consumption, 2022)
Technological breakthroughs and policy measures targeting energy efficiency and clean energy alone will not suffice to deliver Paris Agreement-compliant greenhouse gas emissions trajectories in the next decades. Strong ...
Double accounting in energy footprint and related assessments: How common is it and what are the consequences?
(ENERGY, 2021)
The number of input-output assessments focused on energy has grown considerably in the last years. Many of these assessments combine data from multi-regional input-output (MRIO) databases with energy extensions that ...
A simple model for the effect of thermal stress on the productivity of small ruminants
(Livestock Science, 2021)
Projected climatic changes are expected to change temperature and precipitation patterns and to increase the frequency of extreme events in many regions of the world. This will affect livestock systems through direct effects ...
Practical solutions for bottlenecks in ecosystem services mapping
(2018)
A selection of commonly encountered ES mapping bottlenecks that relate to seven themes: i) map-maker map-user interaction; ii) nomenclature and ontologies; iii) skills and background; iv) data and maps availability; v) ...
Greener and Fairer: A Progressive Environmental Tax Reform for Spain
(IAEE, 2019)
Environmental externalities call for the use of environmental taxes to
get prices right and thereby reduce environmental pressures. To date,
however, the Spanish government makes only limited use of environmental
...
From principles to practice in paying for nature
(Springer Nature, 2018)
Payments for Environmental Services (PES) constitute an innovative economic intervention to counteract the global loss of biodiversity and ecosystem functions. In theory, some appealing features should enable PES to perform ...
On flexible hydropower and security of supply: Spain beyond 2020
(Elsevier, 2020)
Generation adequacy is a key ingredient to security of electricity supply (SoS). Some national plans envisage a future decrease in the number of coal-fired stations and an increase in renewable installed capacity. This ...
Cascading effects associated with climate-change-induced conifer mortality in mountain temperate forests result in hot-spots of soil CO 2 emissions
(Elsevier, 2019)
Climate change-induced tree mortality is occurring worldwide, at increasingly larger scales and with increasing frequency. How climate change-induced tree mortality could affect the ecology and carbon (C) sink capacity of ...
A game theory model to explore the role of cooperation and diversity in community food security: the case of Southern Malawi
(Springer-Verlag GmbH, 2020)
The Sustainable Development Goals aim at ending food insecurity by 2030. Therefore, civil society needs to understand the inherent complexities of both socio-economic and ecological dynamics and their interdependencies. ...
Guidelines for small ruminant production systems under climate emergency in Europe
(SMALL RUMINANT RESEARCH, 2020)
Projected climate change will involve an additional threat for the sustainability of small ruminant production systems in Europe. Aiming to understand its implications, we conducted a literature review on climate change ...
