1. 16. Connecting local stakeholder experiences with wetland policy in Sweden: Drivers, barriers, and success parameters

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Alice Davies; [2022]
   Keywords : Sustainable Development; Survey design; Wetland measures; Policy instruments; Nature-based solutions; Swedens environmental objectives;

   Abstract : To remedy the negative effects of wetland drainage activities that took place in Sweden during the 1800s, measures to create, restore and recreate wetlands have gained increased attention as nature-based solutions. While wetlands provide cost-effective long-term solutions and co-benefits that help achieve national and international environmental objectives, targets relating to wetland measures have fallen short.

3. 17. An analysis of the understanding of maintenance of nature-based solutions for urban stormwater management

   University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

   Author : Emma Knapik; [2022]
   Keywords : Flood adaptation; resilience; sustainability; green infrastructure; uncertainty; Översvämnings anpassning; spänstighet; hållbarhet; osäkerhet;

   Abstract : Urban stormwater management is necessary to protect human life and society from the dangers and damages associated with flooding from extreme weather events. Conventional measures of stormwater management utilise grey infrastructure to convey runoff away from urban areas, but due to increasing urbanization, aging of urban infrastructure, climatic variability, and flooding due to extreme weather events, these measures are often no longer sufficient.

4. 18. Vegetationsbyggnad som brygga för glappet mellan gestaltning och förvaltning : gestaltningsförslag för ett ständigt föränderligt Rostskogen i Hyllievångsparken

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Landscape Architecture, Planning and Management (from 130101)

   Author : Sofie Sjöstedt; [2022]
   Keywords : Dynamisk vegetationsbyggnad; strukturrik plantering; landskapsaplantering; flerskiktade woodland; strategisk förvaltning; gestaltningsförslag; skötselstrategi; Hyllievångsparken; föränderlighet; brygga glapp;

   Abstract : Det finns ett glapp mellan gestaltning och förvaltning till följd av att områdena historiskt behandlats som separata delar. Speciellt framträdande är glappet i grönområden med komplex utformning och lång utvecklingstid, som urbana skogar och woodland. READ MORE

5. 19. Shallow near-surface lapse rates and their connection to glacier meteorology on Storglaciären and Rabots glaciär, Northern Sweden

   University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

   Author : Moon Taveirne; [2022]
   Keywords : Temperature lapse rate; glacier meteorology; near-­surface lapse rate; ablation gradient;

   Abstract : Glacier melt is strongly impacted by climate and meteorology. Temperature lapse rates are used to model glacier melt, and the accuracy of the spatial distribution of modelled melt can be impacted by the lapse rate used in modelling. Additionally, the observed spatial distribution of melt is highly temporally variable. READ MORE

6. 20. Perception and management strategies for climate-induced risks among pastoralists and agro-pastoralists : a case study from dry land farming systems in northern Kenya

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Economics

   Author : Elema Mamo; [2022]
   Keywords : Risk; climate change; risk management; climate change risk perception model; agriculture; risk preferences; adaptation and mitigation strategies;

   Abstract : Agriculture is the backbone of many economies around the world, and it is arguably the sector most affected by climate change with its variability and extremes. Farmers have suffered significant losses as a result of such occurrences in the past and have used a variety of risk management strategies to deal with the risks involved. READ MORE
