6. A carbon budget for Rostock: Suggestions for a fair local contribution to the Paris Agreement in view of current climate targets
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : The increase of global average temperature depends linearly on the amount of carbon dioxide that is accumulating in the atmosphere. Consequently, the determination of a temperature target that should not be exceeded, corresponds to an amount of carbon dioxide that can still be emitted. This is referred to as a carbon budget.

7. Pale, male and stale : To what extent does achieving the UK’s carbon budgets rely on greater diversity within the energy sector?
University essay from Linköpings universitet/Tema GenusAbstract : With increasing recognition that reducing carbon emissions from energy in the UK will make a significant contribution to the mitigation of anthropogenic climate change, and with carbon budgets forged following the Climate Change Act 2005 looking unlikely to be met, it is clear that sectoral changes are required to catalyse the decarbonisation process. Alongside the need for this industry to be at the forefront of decarbonisation, the energy sector needs to diversify and employ more women, Black and Minority Ethnic (BAME), LGBT and disabled people, as well as those from different social classes and varied educational backgrounds.

8. Budgets for a sustainable future : Monthly budgets as a tool for reflection and goal- setting of carbon emissions
University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)Abstract : Climate persuasive services, a type of persuasive technology, could benefit significantly from having a well designed goal-setting feature to actually get users to reduce their carbon emissions. This study explored monthly carbon budgets as a tool for goal-setting to motivate carbon emission reductions. READ MORE

9. Carbon budgets in northern Swedish Forests, 1800-2013
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Forest Ecology and ManagementAbstract : Forests and forest management can mitigate increased carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations in the atmosphere through sequestration of carbon and/or substitution. A major question has been whether it is better to use or conserve forests, with some claiming that European forests carry a huge carbon debt as a result of forestry. READ MORE

10. Assessment of forcing mechanisms on net community production and dissolved inorganic carbon dynamics in the Southern Ocean using glider data
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : In the Subantarctic Zone of the Southern Ocean, a combination of physical forcings, chemical solubility and biological fixation is controlling the carbon uptake and thus the role the Southern Ocean is playing in the remediation of global climate change. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the mechanisms controlling oceanic carbon budgets and to quantify biological uptake rates to make reliable future climate predictions. READ MORE
