  1. 1. The Role of the BRICS in the climate change regime

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för ekonomisk historia och internationella relationer

    Author : Sofia Franklin; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The overall aim of this research is to examine the BRICS’ leadership, arguments, and positions in three of the UNFCCC Conferences of the Parties 2009-2022 and highlight the role BRICS have played in the final declarations at these climate summits. When the United Nations Framework on Climate Change was created and entered into force in 1994, developed countries of the West were assigned leadership for the transition to a more sustainable world, but this leadership has become increasingly fragmented in recent years and the leadership in the climate change regime appears unclear.

  3. 2. Using forest reflectance modelling to estimate albedo for narrow-view satellites

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Nick Bergmans; [2023]
    Keywords : satellite; remote sensing; albedo; surface reflectance; vegetation; forest; machine learning; albedo estimation; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Surface albedo estimations from remote sensing are invaluable for energy balance descrip- tions in climate research. The aim of this work is to evaluate the possibility of using Sentinel-2 satellite data to get the total albedo of a small, vegetated area. READ MORE

    Keywords : Dielectric radome; Ray tracing; Array antenna; Lens antenna; Satellite communications; Radom dielèctric; Traçat de Rajos; Arranjament d’antenes; Antena de lent; Comunicacions per satèl·lit; Dielektrisk radome; Strålspårning; Gruppantenn; Linsantenn; Satellitkommunikation;

    Abstract : In recent years, there has been a huge increase in the use of satellite communications. This has led to a need for more capacity, which can be solved by moving towards higher frequency bands in search of higher bandwidths. READ MORE

  5. 4. Assessing the Eco-efficiency of Swedish Crop Farms and the Role of Subsidies : a Directional Distance Function Approach

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Economics

    Author : Therese Ratilla; [2023]
    Keywords : Swedish crop farmers; CAP subsidies; FADN; stochastic frontier analysis; multi-output; one-step approach;

    Abstract : The agriculture sector’s contribution to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and its increasing vulnerability to the effects of climate change warrants assessments considering not only on-farm productivity but also the industry’s environmental sustainability. Utilizing the concept of eco-efficiency, this study analyzes the environmental performance of Swedish crop farms by incorporating farm-level GHG emissions as an undesirable output in the production function.

  6. 5. MODELING ENERGY LOSSES AND GAINS IN LOW TEMPERATURE BI-DIRECTIONAL HEATING AND COOLING GRIDS A CASE STUDY OF E.ON’S ECTOGRID

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistik

    Author : Olivia Arnfalk; [2022]
    Keywords : Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : Energy for heating and cooling purposes is essential for many industrial processes, as well as something we all rely on to provide us with warm water and a pleasant indoor climate. As much as half of all energy consumed in the EU is used for heating and cooling [1]. READ MORE
