Institutional challenges in putting ecosystem service knowledge in practice
(Elsevier, 2018)The promise that ecosystem service assessments will contribute to better decision-making is not yet proven. We analyse how knowledge on ecosystem services is actually used to inform land and water management in 22 case ... -
Institutionalisation of urban climate adaptation: three municipal experiences in Spain
(Buildings and Cities, 2022)Comparative studies of urban adaptation have evaluated the progress, means and scope of adaptation planning. Practice on the ground shows that the local politics of climate adaptation advance through various strategies to ... -
Integrated policy assessment and optimisation over multiple sustainable development goals in Eastern Africa
(IOP, 2019-08-20)Heavy reliance on traditional biomass for household energy in eastern Africa has significant negative health and environmental impacts. The African context for energy access is rather different from historical experiences ... -
Integrating belowground carbon dynamics into Yield-SAFE, a parameter sparse agroforestry model
(Springer, 2018)Agroforestry combines perennial woody elements (e.g. trees) with an agricultural understory (e.g. wheat, pasture) which can also potentially be used by a livestock component. In recent decades, modern agroforestry systems ... -
Integrating methods for ecosystem service assessment: Experiences from real world situations
(Ecosystem Services, 2018)The Ecosystem Services (ES) concept highlights the varied contributions the environment provides to humans and there are a wide range of methods/tools available to assess ES. However, in real-world decision contexts a ... -
Integrating science and the arts to deglobalise climate change adaptation
(Nature Communications, 2024-12-12)Setting goals that are context-specific, relevant, and collectively shared is critical in adaptation. As necessary elements in target setting, imaginaries for adaptation and the language connected to them remain vague. ... -
Interactive effects of forest die-off and drying-rewetting cycles on C and N mineralization
(Elsevier, 2019)Mediterranean forests will experience more frequent and intense drought periods and extreme rainfall events in the coming decades. Concomitantly, drought-induced forest die-off is likely to increase. Changes in rainfall ... -
International Climate Finance and its Influence on Fairness and Policy
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2011-07-07)Besides costs and benefits, fairness aspects tend to influence negotiating parties’ willingness to join an international agreement on climate change mitigation. Fairness is largely considered to improve the prospects ... -
International Support of Climate Change Policies in Developing Countries: Strategic, Moral and Fairness Aspects
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2011-02-01)International transfers in climate policy channeled from the industrialized to the developing world either support the mitigation of climate change or the adaptation to global warming. From an allocative efficiency point ... -
International trade and the distribution of economy-wide benefits from the disbursement of climate finance
(Taylor and Francis, 2019)In the framework of recent international climate negotiations, industrialized countries have committed to transfer at least USD 100 billion per year to developing countries from 2020. Climate finance has become the subject ... -
Introducing the H2020 AQUACROSS project: Knowledge, Assessment, and Management for AQUAtic Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services aCROSS EU policies
(Elsevier, 2019)The AQUACROSS project was an unprecedented effort to unify policy concepts, knowledge, and management of freshwater, coastal, and marine ecosystems to support the cost-effective achievement of the targets set by the EU ... -

Investment in wind-based hydrogen production under economic and physical uncertainties
(Applied Energy, 2023)This paper evaluates the economic viability of a combined wind-based green-hydrogen facility from an investor's viewpoint. The paper introduces a theoretical model and demonstrates it by example. The valuation model assumes ... -
IPCC WGII Fifth Assessment Report (AR5): Expanding the solution space for adaptation
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2014-04-25)The IPCC Report shows increasing confidence of current impacts of anthropogenic climate change, including migration of species in oceans and diminishing crop yields. *Adaptation is widely occurring and has become the central ... -
