  2. 27. Increasing ecosystem services at an industrial area : A study applied to Rönnskärsverken

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Lisa Larsson; Petra Ljunggren; [2023]
    Keywords : Green areas; Biodiversity; Environmental regulation; Nature Based Solutions; Stormwater management;

    Abstract : What are ecosystem services, what are the possibilities to use them as a solution to remediate environmental problems, and how can they be increased in an industrial area such as Rönnskärsverken? The aim of this master thesis was to investigate the potential and the incentive for increasing ecosystem services in Rönnskärsverken’s industrial area through green areas and nature based stormwater management solutions on the site.  Ecosystem services is a concept that was put on the political agenda in the UN in 2005 in order to create a common definition and valuation to raise awareness of the values that nature provides to human beings.
