How are cities planning to respond to climate change? Assessment of local climate plans from 885 cities in the EU-28
(Elsevier, 2018)The Paris Agreement aims to limit global mean temperature rise this century to well below 2 °C above pre-industrial levels. This target has wide-ranging implications for Europe and its cities, which are the source of ... -
How are Italian and Spanish cities tackling climate change? A local comparative study
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2014-03-26)Cities are widely recognised as being pivotal to fight climate change. They magnify the drivers of climate change, experience the impacts and also concentrate the highest room for action. Although urban areas are broadly ... -
How can we all help conserve nature?
(Frontiers for Young Minds, 2019)When we speak about conserving nature, we are really talking about taking care of our future, because nature provides essential resources for our survival and enjoyment. We asked an international group of scientists working ... -
How do interactive flood simulation models influence decision-making? An observations-based evaluation method
(MDPI, 2019)Interactive flood simulations models are computer models that are usable for practitioners during work sessions, allowing demand-driven flood simulations together with domain experts. It is assumed among developers of such ... -
How does management affect soil C sequestration and greenhouse gas fluxes in boreal and temperate forests? – A review
(Forest Ecology and Management, 2023)The global forest carbon (C) stock is estimated at 662 Gt of which 45% is in soil organic matter. Thus, comprehensive understanding of the effects of forest management practices on forest soil C stock and greenhouse gas ... -
How regulating and cultural services of ecosystems have changed over time in Italy
(One Ecosystem, 2022)In this experimental study, different components are computed for three different ecosystem services (ES). Specifically, supply, demand and use are estimated for pollination service, flood risk regulation service and ... -
How to achieve a healthier and more sustainable europe by 2040 according to the public? Results of a five-country questionnaire survey
(International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2020-08-20)The aim of this paper is to understand public preferences for several future scenarios of achieving a healthier, more equitable and sustainable Europe, which differ in the way the society is organized (individualistically ... -
How to Get Coal Country to Vote for Climate Policy: The Effect of a Just Transition Agreement on Spanish Election Results
(American Political Science Review, 2023-01-01)Enacting stringent climate policy has proven politically challenging, not least because of concentrated losses in fossil fuel-producing communities. Just transition strategies have been proposed to mitigate this distributional ... -
How to get commuters out of private cars? Exploring the role of perceived social impacts in mode choice in five European countries
(Energy Research and Social Science, 2022)Shifting away from private vehicle use in urban areas is a necessary step in the decarbonisation of mobility. A thorough understanding of the determinants of travel mode choice is paramount for developing policies that can ... -
How to make ecological models useful for environmental management
(Elsevier, 2019)Understanding and predicting the ecological consequences of different management alternatives is becoming increasingly important to support environmental management decisions. Ecological models could contribute to such ... -
How well do climate adaptation policies align with risk-based approaches? An assessment framework for cities
(CITIES, 2021)Many cities around the world are undertaking adaptation planning processes in contexts of considerable uncertainty due to climate risks. However, new evidence suggests that current adaptation policies are failing to fully ... -
Human dependence on natural resources in rapidly urbanising South African regions
(IOP Publishing, 2019)Enhancing the governance of social-ecological systems for more equitable and sustainable development is hindered by inadequate knowledge about how different social groups and communities rely on natural resources. We used ... -
Hunting spectro-temporal information in unevenly spaced paleoclimate time series
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2014-10-24)Here we present some preliminary results of a statistical–computational implementation to estimate the wavelet spectrum of unevenly spaced paleoclimate time series by means of the Morlet Weighted Wavelet Z-Transform (MWWZ). ... -
IAOx induces the SUR phenotype and differential signalling from IAA under different types of nitrogen nutrition in Medicago truncatula roots
(Plant Science, 2019-10-01)Indole-3-acetaldoxime (IAOx) is a particularly relevant molecule as an intermediate in the pathway for tryptophan-dependent auxin biosynthesis. The role of IAOx in growth-signalling and root phenotype is poorly studied in ... -
ICT Applications in the Research for Environmental Sustainability
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2010-11-08)Whether Information and Communication Technology (ICT) constitutes a threat to or a cure for environmental deterioration is a matter of controversy. Empirical evidence on the impacts of ICT is rare, so few generalisable ... -
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 ... -
