  1. 16. Climate Change and Internal Displacement

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för samhällsstudier (SS)

    Author : Christian Troh; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : AbstractThere is a major relationship between these two aspects: climate change and IPDs (Internal Displacement Persons) – as climate change is a major challenge for people who faced displacement and leave their shelters – which makes their living conditions worst and it leads result in diminishing the wellbeing of people (Ferris, 2011). Moreover, it has been observed that the researcher has successfully contributed in accomplishing the research concern and attaining the effective results – while involving the role of international Humanitarian Law which is used to protect the needs of climate refugees/people displaced because of climate change – also, the UN Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement can be relevant for meeting the protection needs of people who have been displaced because of climate change.

    Abstract : IPCC SR15 rapporterade att alla framtida scenarier för att begränsa klimatförändringen till 1,5°C är starkt beroende av negativa utsläppstekniker, såsom geografisk CO2-lagring som används av Stockholm Exergi’s Värtaverket. Men kan man uppnå starkare klimatvinster genom en cirkulär koldioxidekonomi? Bildandet av en cirkulär koldioxidekonomi är absolut nödvändigt för att uppnå global koldioxidneutralitet, men hur kommer vi dit? Elektrolys av CO2 erbjuder en ekonomiskt och miljömässigt attraktiv väg för att uppgradera CO2-utsläpp till värdefulla bränslen och råvaror, vilket minskar användningen av fossila resurser och CO2-utsläpp till atmosfären.

    Abstract : Industrialized societies are built on the limited, extraordinary dense form of energy that are the fossil fuels: coal, oil, and gas, that became the core driver of the economic growth since the industrial revolution. While most emission pathways highlight the necessity to reach net zero emissions before 2050, there are numerous challenges to the displacement of fossil fuels by renewable energy systems (local conditions, intermittency, raw materials) and applications to the most polluting sectors such as transportation remain a major challenge.
