1. 21. Mot ett mer hållbart lantbruk : En kartläggning av hur livsmedelsaktörer arbetar med miljömässig hållbarhet på gårdsnivå.

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Economics

   Author : Charlie Simonsson; Julia Arvidsson; [2023]
   Keywords : synergier; hållbart lantbruk; hållbar utveckling; livsmedelssektorn; Synergies; agriculture; sustainability; sustainable development; food sector; Science Based Targets; hållbarhet; intressentteorin; marknadsmix; legitimitet;

   Abstract : Förhöjda havsnivåer, extremväder, översvämningar och skogsbränder är några av de konsekvenser som hotar vår planet på grund av klimatförändringarna. Denna oroande utveckling har lett till en ökad uppmärksamhet kring hållbar utveckling, inte bara i Sverige utan även globalt. READ MORE

3. 22. Storm Water Management with BlueGreen Infrastructure in Urban Planning : A case-study in Krokom, Sweden

   University essay from Mittuniversitetet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap, design och hållbar utveckling (2023-)

   Author : Lena Suleiko Allansson; [2023]
   Keywords : Sustainable drainage system SuDS ; nature-based solutions; ecosystem services; urban water management; climate change adaption;

   Abstract : As changing climate and growing urban populations present new challenges for managing both the quantity and the quality of storm waterin cities, nature-based solutions such as blue-green infrastructure arebecoming widely considered as an alternative to grey infrastructure. The benefits, above providing storm water management at a lower cost, are increased ecosystem services. READ MORE

4. 23. LFA support in a changing climate : the interaction between the LFA support and drought periods on the use of agricultural land in Sweden

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Economics

   Author : Ella Jennersjö; [2023]
   Keywords : CAP; LFA; climate change; drought; agricultural land use;

   Abstract : With climate change follows an expectation of more extreme weather events, such as droughts, floods and change in seasonal shifts. How climate variability might impact Swedish agriculture and interact with existing policy aiming at keeping agricultural land in production is not well understood. READ MORE

   Author : Lotte Petersen; [2023]
   Keywords : natural hazards; disaster; climate mitigation policy; latin america; policy change;

   Abstract : This study aims to empirically explore if there is an association between climate-related disasters and climate mitigation policy change in middle-income countries. This is important for understanding future climate mitigation policy, as disasters are predicted to increase in both frequency and severity. READ MORE

6. 25. Reprocessing and Characterization of Polybenzimidazole for High-Temperature Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Centrum för analys och syntes

   Author : Douglas Björkengren; [2023]
   Keywords : polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells; PEMFC; HTPEMFC; polymer technology; polymer characterization; reprocessing; recycling; polybenzimidazole; PBI; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : A reprocessing method of poly(2,2’-(m-phenylene)-5,5’-bibenzimidazole) (PBI) membranes recovered from the production line of High-Temperature Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells (HT-PEMFC) at Blue World Technologies (BWT) has been developed in order to reduce material loss in the production. Redissolution of scrap PBI membranes in poly(phosphoric acid) (PPA) and phosphoric acid (PA) was successful and the subsequent washing procedure produced PBI that could be redissolved in N,N-dimethyl acetamide (DMAc) and suitable for solution casting of new membranes.
