  3. 2. Evaluating modelled natural capital values for planning processes: A case study in Stockholm, Sweden

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Vania Diaz Gardell; [2023]
    Keywords : Geography; Ecosystem Analysis; Natural Capital; Ecosystem Services; Biodiversity; Environmental Models; Urban Planning; Planning Process; Social Sciences; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : A commonly proposed principle for reducing impact on natural capital within the planning process is the mitigation hierarchy. The mitigation hierarchy means that impacts should primarily be avoided, otherwise minimized, and when this is not possible - restored or compensated according to an equivalency- and proximity principle.

    Abstract : Global warming is caused by the human induced increase of Greenhouse Gases (GHG) in the atmosphere. GHG emissions need to be reduced, and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from fossil sources ceased to mitigate global warming. Energy production and use is a main contributor to fossil sourced emissions in Europe. READ MORE
