Towards a green energy economy? Tracking the employment effects of low-carbon technologies in the European Union
(Elsevier, 2016-03-16)In the view of pressing unemployment and environmental problems, different policies have been proposed to create jobs in the transition to a green economy, including the so-called “green jobs”. There has been an intense ... -
Towards a green recovery in the EU: Aligning further emissions reductions with short- and long-term energy-sector employment gains
(Energy Policy, 2022)To tackle the negative socioeconomic implications of the COVID-19 pandemic, the European Union (EU) introduced the Recovery and Resilience Facility, a financial instrument to help Member States recover, on the basis that ... -
Towards a more effective climate policy on international trade
(Springer Nature, 2020)In the literature on the attribution of responsibilities for greenhouse gas emissions, two accounting methods have been widely discussed: production-based accounting (PBA) and consumption-based accounting (CBA). It has ... -
Towards a multidimensional biodiversity index for national application
(Nature Sustainability, 2021-11-01)The lack of urgent action to reverse biodiversity loss is partly due to the complex nature of biodiversity as a feature of our planet. Subsequently, policymakers receive an often-confusing variety of narratives on why ... -
Towards a participatory integrated assessment approach for planning and managing Natura 2000 network sites
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2012-10)Managing protected areas implies dealing with complex social-ecological systems where multiple dimensions (social, institutional, economic and ecological) interact over time for the delivery of ecosystem services. ... -
Towards globally customizable ecosystem service models
(Elsevier, 2019-02-10)Scientists, stakeholders and decision makers face trade-offs between adopting simple or complex approaches when modeling ecosystem services (ES). Complex approaches may be time- and data-intensive, making them more challenging ... -
Transformation for inclusive conservation: evidence on values, decisions, and impacts in protected areas
(Current Opinion in Environmental Sustainability, 2023)As countries consider new area-based conservation targets under the Convention on Biological Diversity, protected areas (PAs) and their impacts on people and nature are coming under increasing scrutiny. We review the ... -
Transnationalization of climate adaptation by regional governments and the RegionsAdapt initiative
(Cambridge University Press, 2020)Adaptation to climate change has traditionally been framed as a local problem. However, in recent years, and particularly since the 2015 Paris Agreement established a global goal on adaptation, adaptation has risen on the ... -
Transparency and Reproducibility in Participatory Systems Modelling: the Case of Fuzzy Cognitive Mapping
(John Wiley and Sons, 2018)By aggregating semi-quantitative mind maps from multiple agents, fuzzy cognitive mapping (FCM) allows developing an integrated, cross-sectoral understanding of complex systems. However, and especially for FCM based on ... -
Transport poverty indicators: A new framework based on the household budget survey
(Energy Policy, 2023-10-01)The energy transition represents an economic opportunity in many countries, but it can also disproportionately affect vulnerable households. Although increasing attention has been paid on energy poverty at homes, there is ... -
Tree growth response to drought partially explains regional-scale growth and mortality patterns in Iberian forests
(Ecological Applications, 2022-07-01)Tree-ring data has been widely used to inform about tree growth responses to drought at the individual scale, but less is known about how tree growth sensitivity to drought scales up driving changes in forest dynamics. ... -
Tree influence exacerbates the El Niño effects over soil CO<inf>2</inf> emissions and its microclimatic controls
(Applied Soil Ecology, 2020-03-01)Dryland ecosystems are considered the largest global carbon sink. However, extreme climate phenomena like the El Niño events (EN) may change soil respiration (Rs) the CO2 emitted from soils resulting from biological ... -
Tree vigour influences secondary growth but not responsiveness to climatic variability in Holm oak
(Elsevier, 2018)Many tree species from Mediterranean regions have started to show increased rates of crown defoliation, reduced groth, and dieback associated with the increase in temperatures and changes in the frequency and intensity of ... -
Trends in Income and Price Elasticities of Transport Demand (1850-2010)
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2012-02-24)The purpose of this paper is to estimate trends in income and price elasticities and to offer insights for the future growth in transport use, with particular emphasis on the impact of energy and technological transitions. ... -
Triple exposure: Reducing negative impacts of climate change, blue growth, and conservation on coastal communities
(One Earth, 2023-02-17)Coastal communities are on the frontlines of three accelerating global change drivers, climate change, blue growth, and the expansion of area-based conservation, leading to a “triple exposure” scenario. Despite efforts to ... -
TRY plant trait database enhanced coverage and open access
(John Wiley and Sons, 2020)Plant traits the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological characteristics of plants determine how plants respond to environmental factors, affect other trophic levels, and influence ecosystem ... -
Uncertainties in the value and opportunity costs of pollination services
(British Ecological Society, 2019)Pollination is an ecosystem service that directly contributes to agricultural production, and can therefore provide a strong incentive to conserve natural habitats that support pollinator populations. However, we have yet ... -
Under what conditions is the bioethanol and biodiesel produced entirely in the Basque Country sustainable?
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2015-05)*The process of agricultural production, and especially anything related to the management of fertilisation, largely determines the uncertainty in the estimation of the different environmental impact of biofuel production. ... -
Underrated past herbivore densities could lead to misoriented sustainability policies.
(npj Biodiversity, 2023-01-06)Knowing the carrying capacity of the Earth’s grazed ecosystems, and the relevance of herbivory, is important for many scientific disciplines, as well as for policy. Current herbivore levels are estimated to be four to five ... -
Understanding Public Support for Externality-Correcting Taxes and Subsidies: A Lab Experiment
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2013-01-01)The potential of taxation to correcting environmental externalities has been long recognized among economists. Yet, this welfare-enhancing policy commonly faces strong opposition by citizens. Conversely, externality-correcting ...
