  1. 21. Differences in forest characteristics between potential green infrastructure areas and other forest areas in the south of Sweden - A study of indicators of forest quality for conservation

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Miljövetenskaplig utbildning

    Author : Ida Bronner Thelin; [2021]
    Keywords : Valuable forest areas; green infrastructure; south of Sweden; deadwood; tree species cover; biodiversity conservation; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Biodiversity is today rapidly decreasing, and one of the main threats is land use intensification in forest landscapes. By improving the forest quality in the surrounding landscape of protected areas, the level of biodiversity could increase, and green infrastructure areas have been proposed as a method in Sweden.

  3. 22. A valuation of ecosystem services from blue-green infrastructure for stormwater management

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Sofia Anderzon; [2021]
    Keywords : Stormwater; blue-green infrastructure; urban ecosystem services; indicators; semi-quantitative valuation; Dagvatten; dagvattenhantering; blågrön infrastruktur; urbana ekosystemtjänster; indikatorer; semi-kvantitativ värdering;

    Abstract : The ongoing urbanization leads to densification and growth of cities, which replaces natural areas with hard surfaces. Precipitation is then more likely to runoff as stormwater than to be detained locally. Also, precipitation is predicted to be increasing as an effect of climate change. READ MORE

  4. 23. SUSTAINABLE LUBRICATION FOR FUTURE TRANSMISSIONS : Micropitting performance of Glycerol-based lubricants

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

    Author : Zapata Tamayo Juan Guillermo; [2021]
    Keywords : micropitting; mild sliding wear; surface coating; diamond-like carbon DLC; glycerol-based lubrication; green lubricant; rolling contact fatigue; rolling-sliding;

    Abstract : Achieving sustainable lubrication by using environmentally friendly formulated lubricants has became an essential component of the transition process from fossil-powered vehicles to electrified transportation. Mixtures, or aqueous solutions of molecules such as polyhydroxy alcohols, and glycols usually known as green lubricants make it possible to achieve low friction coefficients under different lubrication conditions, which constitutes a potential alternative to improve the tribological performance of moving parts in automotive systems, at the same time that the environmental requirements are satisfied.

  5. 24. Shifting from Voluntary to Mandatory Mechanisms to scale up Sustainable Public Procurement – The Integration of Voluntary Sustainability Standards into Public Procurement and Trade Policies

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för handelsrätt

    Author : Farhod Asrolov; [2021]
    Keywords : green public procurement; sustainable public procurement; corporate social responsibility; CSR; sustainability; environmental protection; social protection.; Law and Political Science;

    Abstract : Green and Sustainable Public Procurement are widely recognized as the strategic lever to promote innovation, sustainability, and the strategic tool on environmental and social protections. The extension of sustainability beyond environmental aspects, especially the integration of social and economic aspects is becoming common grounds in most jurisdictions. READ MORE

  6. 25. Adaptive Forest Policy : The Integration of Disaster Risk Reduction through Nature-Based Solutions in Swedish and Scottish Forest Policy

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Julia Magnusson; [2021]
    Keywords : Forest Ecosystem Services; Forest Biodiversity; Nature Conservation; Policy Analysis; Scotland; Sustainable Development; Sweden;

    Abstract : Climate change may cause significant changes to our relationship with nature, triggering large impacts on ecosystems and the societies dependent on their ecosystem services. Forests are seen as a mitigating solution for their abilities to store carbon, provide forest products, enhance biodiversity along with other forest ecosystem services (FES). READ MORE
