  1. 1. Water Risk Assessment of Agricultural Raw Materials in a Global Supply Chain : A Case Study of IKEA

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Victoria Berggren; [2022]
    Keywords : Water Risk Assessment; Freshwater; Water Depletion; Water Availability; Agricultural Raw Materials; Soy; Palm Oil; Agricultural Management Practices; and Material Sourcing; Riskbedömning för vatten; sötvatten; vattenbrist; vattentillgång; jordbruksråmaterial; soja; palmolja; jordbruksförvaltningsmetoder och materialförsörjning;

    Abstract : Current mass consumption and production patterns have led to an unsustainable use of natural resources, including freshwater, which is one the most crucial natural resources for people and the planet. Agricultural production systems are alone responsible for 72 percent of all global water withdrawals. READ MORE

  3. 2. The Susceptibility of the Circumpolar North to Zombie Wildfire : An Exploratory Case Study of Sweden

    University essay from Södertörns högskola/Miljövetenskap

    Author : Stephanie Louise Hurst; [2021]
    Keywords : Wildfire; zombie fire; overwintering; holdover; carbon cycle; climate change; Circumpolar North; Sweden; Skogsbrand; zombiebrand; övervintrande; kolcykel; klimatförändring; Cirkumpolär Norr; Sverige;

    Abstract : Climate change is warming the North and exposing its immense carbon stores not only to wildfire disturbances, but overwintering, or zombie, fire. These remnants of summer fires can spend months smouldering under the surface, hidden under the protection of layers of snow, burning through immense amounts of carbon, which is then released into the atmosphere, further exacerbating climate change.

  4. 3. Linking Climate Change, Migration Patterns and Vulnerability: The case of Ndem, Senegal

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

    Author : Giordano Margaglio; Anna Chesnier; [2019]
    Keywords : Climate Change; Internal Migration; Vulnerability; Sahel; Culture; Desertification; Drought; Ndem; West Africa; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Projections estimate that by 2050 hundreds of millions to a billion people will migrate elsewhere due to environmental reasons. The increasing frequency and intensity of natural hazards posed by climate change, as well as the slow-onset degradation of habitats all over the planet, will drive more and more species to migrate towards more habitable and safe environments.

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Entomology

    Author : Karin Ström; [2006]
    Keywords : species richness correlations; meta-analysis; species-area relationships; taxonomic distance; biodiversity;

    Abstract : Predicting the species richness of certain taxa from the richness of others could be of great value in biodiversity conservation. If we know how the species richness of groups of organisms correlate to each other under different circumstances, inventories of only a few well-known taxa could be enough to establish the biodiversity values of different areas.
