Under oktober månad byter vi ut verktyget för textjämförelse. Ouriginal (eller gamla Urkund) ersätts då av Inspera Originality. Funktionen är densamma: att hjälpa dig som lärare eller handledare att identifiera plagiat i studenters texter. Vad innebär det för dig?För det första kommer ditt material följa med till Inspera Originality, men det gör inte själva analyserna. Kolla därför om du behöver s

Cities are expected to contribute to climate mitigation by providing effective climate policy actions in a multilevel governance context. Yet, it is unclear what we actually know about the strengths and weaknesses of urban climate policy measures and how municipal policy learning could be enhanced. The article written by Lena Neij and Eva Heiskanen presents a comprehensive review on cities’ experi

The market uptake of renewable energy electricity (REe) needs to be greatly accelerated. This is critical to reach net zero emissions as soon as possible. This article provides new perspectives on the role of ‘Green Energy Defaults’ to promote the purchase of REe, particularly in countries in which market and consumer policy conditions may be less advanced or certain. The article originates from o

An energy transition from centralized and fossil‐based energy towards decentralized and renewable energy has been advocated by governments, business, and academia. In the EU, is has become a strategy to enable communities to take an active role in the energy market in the hopes of transitioning to an increasingly local, renewable, and participatory energy system. One organizational innovation intr

The use of electric vehicles is expected to explode in rich countries the next decade. But what will happen to the retired lithium-ion batteries? Our researcher Jessika Luth Richter comments in the Guardian. “There is a lot of battery capacity left at the end of first use in electric vehicles. These batteries may no longer be able run vehicles but they could have second lives storing excess power

How can we shape our urban development towards sustainable and prosperous futures? This course explores sustainable cities as engines for greening the economy in Europe and around the world. We place cities in the context of sustainable urban transformation and climate change. We connect the key trends of urbanization, decarbonisation and sustainability. We examine how visions, experiments and inn

Every year the world adds more renewables than the year before. But is this growth on track to achieve climate targets? And what would it take to get there? In a paper published in Nature Energy Professor Aleh Cherp and co-authors analyse wind and solar power in the 60 largest countries. They show that in every country the growth of renewable electricity initially accelerates, then stabilises and

Climate change is a global problem, but not all countries are equally committed to solving it. Will it be much more difficult to stop global warming if not everyone fully cooperates? In a letter published in Nature Climate Change, Aleh Cherp reflects on recent scientific advances in answering this question. In theory, climate change mitigation is least expensive under a universal carbon tax paid b

Growing concerns about climate change, air pollution, human health and also the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have renewed the use of and policy interest in active transport (AT) modes, namely cycling and walking. However, what are the economic benefits of policies promoting AT modes in cities? This paper brings together interdisciplinary perspectives to assess the economic impacts of policies

The different pathways for future energy systems may technologically look very much the same, but they differ fundamentally when it comes to ownership, distribution of profits and what local values are created. How this is played out in practice is discussed in this new article by Anna-Riikka Kojonsaari and Jenny Palm. New decentralized energy-generation technologies have turned economies of scale

Nuclear power is an advanced low carbon technology that can help to reduce the risk of dangerous climate change. Yet, many countries, including those with rapidly rising greenhouse gas emissions and enormous electricity needs, have not managed to construct a single nuclear power plant. Why do some countries use nuclear power and others don't? A new paper co-authored by Aleh Cherp answers this ques

Nature-based solutions (NBS) can help tackle climate change and advance urban sustainability by using nature to deliver social, ecological and economic benefits. However, their success largely depend on implementation for which several barriers exist. For NBS to be meaningful in terms of delivering positive impacts in cities, we need better understanding of how implementation is addressed and embe

We are happy to be back with a new season of the IIIEE podcast "Advancing Sustainable Solutions"! Anxiety is a natural emotional response to stress, fear, or danger. Then, it is no wonder why some are experiencing anxiety in the face of the climate crisis. Although not a clinical diagnosis, climate anxiety – and related terms like eco-anxiety, ecological grief, and solastalgia – describes the dist
