The impact of climate change on surface ozone over Europe was studied using four offline regional chemistry transport models (CTMs) and one online regional integrated climate-chemistry model (CCM), driven by the same global projection of future climate under the SRES A1B scenario. Anthropogenic emissions of ozone precursors from RCP4.5 for year 2000 were used for simulations of both present and fu

To reduce vulnerability and enhance resilience to climate change, climate adaptation measures are needed that can contribute to a more resilient society. Cross-sectoral collaboration and the involvement of multiple actors are central to a coherent and comprehensive approach to climate adaptation. The aim of this study is to contribute to an increased understanding of how policy labs can be used a

Climate change, manifested through flooding, landslides, and erosion, poses increasing challenges for the built environment. In Sweden, nearly 90 percent of the population resides in urban areas, which were planned under past climatic conditions and are often difficult to adapt retroactively. Spatial planning plays a crucial role in addressing this issue, with municipalities holding central respo

The land use, land-use change, and forestry sector (LULUCF) has historically been rather unregulated. Recent political developments have put pressure on countries to implement practices that increase net greenhouse gas (GHG) removals and improve the state of carbon sinks. One of these political developments is the European Union’s (EU) LULUCF Regulation, which as of now obligates Member States (MS

Freshwater ecosystems are increasingly threatened by persistent chemical pollutants, including per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), which pose long-term risks to both ecosystems and human health. Small streams downstream of urban and industrial areas are often underrepresented in monitoring programmes, despite their potential vulnerability to PFAS contamination. Furthermore, environmental r

Under 1990-talet bröt den före detta socialistiska federala republiken Jugoslavien upp längs sina republikers gränser, till stor del på grund av en ekonomisk och politisk kris, liksom en ökning av nationalism och etniska spänningar. Där olika nationaliteter och etniska grupper kämpade för att samexistera, och olösta etniska, nationalistiska och religiösa problem steg upp till ytan - försökte en se

As global temperatures rise, adverse health effects due to heat exposure are an increasingly pressing issue, particularly threatening to the health of elderly people. Mitigating these threats requires a dynamic climate adaptation system embedding a variety of measures. Ideally, such a system incorporates the coping strategies and experiences of the vulnerable themselves in a well-developed strateg

The articles included in this thesis centre on what can be called the normative basis of risk analysis. Since risk analyses are decision procedures, they should adhere to norms of rational decision-making, and this they do. Most risk analysis schemes are built on a notion of the decision theoretic maxim that the goal of every decision is to maximize expected utility. However, for some thirty years

The Special Section on Post-growth food systems for a just social-ecological transition within planetary boundaries explores post-growth and degrowth approaches that advocate for sufficiency, care, regeneration, and the democratization of food systems. It shows that post-growth food initiatives face multiple structural barriers, including capitalist systems that prioritize profit over ecological a

Fencing to exclude livestock is one of the effective strategies to passively reshape grassland ecosystem function, yet the dynamics of microbial community construction and their functional traits during restoration remain poorly understood. This study systematically sampled from various microhabitats (phyllosphere, litter, soil) within long-term fenced restoration areas, as well as areas with pers

Efficient and clean production of electrical and mechanical energy for use in industry, transportation and propulsion is currently a concern. The transition from fossil fuels to biofuels involves challenges related to the fuel composition and combustion, as well as methods to increase engine fuel flexibility. One potentially useful tool under development is Plasma Assisted Combustion (PAC), where

Renewable diesel fuels may reduce greenhouse gas emissions and particulate matter compared to fossil diesel, but the toxicity of their combustion products remains unclear. This study assessed pulmonary effects of renewable diesel exhaust particles in female C57BL/6NTac mice after single intratracheal instillation (6, 18, or 54 µg/mouse). Particles were generated from renewable fuels (rapeseed meth

Reducing greenhouse gas emissions and achieving carbon neutrality require enhancing spark-ignition engine efficiency and compatibility with renewable fuels. However, electrode wear of spark plugs presents a significant challenge in hydrogen-fueled spark-ignition internal combustion engines. Such excessive wear increases the total cost of ownership and may delay the introduction of such low-emissio

The increasing global demand for energy and the need to reduce industrial emissions have made energy efficiency a central focus in process industries. Therefore, this thesis investigates system-level optimization strategies for a closed-loop cooling system utilizing seawater. A system commonly used in heavy process industries, with a focus on both design and operational improvements. The study eva

One third of the produced food for human consumption is wasted throughout the sup-ply chain. Given that 45% of the Earth's habitable land is classified as agricultural land, of which 16% is used for crop production, this situation is unsustainable. Food packaging could be one of the solutions to reduce food waste. Smart packaging, which includes active and intelligent packaging, is an innovati

The influence of electron doping, via deposition of small amounts of Cs, on the electronic structure of has been studied by high-resolution photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) and x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), utilizing synchrotron radiation. The changes in the electronic structure were monitored by PES of the valence band and of the O 1s, Bi 4f, Bi 5d, Ca 2p and Sr 3d core levels, and by XAS

This second edition of the infrared microwindow atlas contains a collection of spectral mi- crowindows commonly used or recently suggested for ground-based, high resolution, infrared solar absoption spectroscopy. These solar observations are aimed at quantifying the abun- dance of trace species in the terrestrial atmosphere. A microwindow is a narrow spectral interval that allows to observe a spec
