Identification of conservation and restoration priority areas in the Danube River based on the multi-functionality of river-floodplain systems
(Elsevier, 2019)
Large river-floodplain systems are hotspots of biodiversity and ecosystem services but are also used for multiple human activities, making them one of the most threatened ecosystems worldwide. There is wide evidence that ...
Exploring low-carbon futures: A web service approach to linking diverse climate-energy-economy models
(MDPI, 2019)
The use of simulation models is essential when exploring transitions to low-carbon futures and climate change mitigation and adaptation policies. There are many models developed to understand socio-environmental processes ...
Health co-benefits and mitigation costs as per the Paris Agreement under different technological pathways for energy supply
(Elsevier, 2020)
This study assesses the reductions in air pollution emissions and subsequent beneficial health effects from different global mitigation pathways consistent with the 2 °C stabilization objective of the Paris Agreement. We ...
Are local climate adaptation policies credible? A conceptual and operational assessment framework
(Taylor and Francis, 2019)
After the Paris Agreement that put stronger emphasis on the development of climate change adaptation policies and on the definition of financing mechanisms, there is a patent need to track whether actual planning efforts ...
Ecosystem-based management planning across aquatic realms at the Ria de Aveiro Natura 2000 territory
(Elsevier, 2019)
Ria de Aveiro represents a coastal territory, in which its natural capital, mostly classified under a Natura 2000 network of protected areas, is of paramount importance for the regional and national economy, supporting ...
Health co-benefits from air pollution and mitigation costs of the Paris Agreement: a modelling study
(Elsevier, 2018)
Background: Although the co-benefits from addressing problems related to both climate change and air pollution have been recognised, there is not much evidence comparing the mitigation costs and economic benefits of air ...
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 ...
Insights on urban and periurban adaptation strategies based on stakeholders' perceptions on hard and soft responses to climate change
(MDPI, 2019)
Adapting to expected impacts of climate change is a task shared by multiple institutions and individuals, but much of this work falls over local and regional authorities, which has made them experts over the issue. At the ...

(IOP Publishing, 2018)
This addendum adds to the analysis presented in Understanding risks in the light of uncertainty: low-probability, high-impact coastal events in cities Abadie et al (2017 Environ. Res. Lett . 12 [https://doi.org/10.1088 ...
Climate change induced socio-economic tipping points: Review and stakeholder consultation for policy relevant research
(IOP Publishing, 2020)
Tipping points have become a key concept in research on climate change, indicating points of abrupt transition in biophysical systems as well as transformative changes in adaptation and mitigation strategies. However, the ...
