Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) is a largely promoted, but also heavily contested solution to the problem of climate change. Whilst removing carbon from the atmosphere, it potentially leads to detrimental side effects. This thesis provides guidance for NGOs, industry and policymakers in Germany and the wider EU context on how to assess the sustainability of BECCS implementation p

Negative emissions and bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) are seen as important strategies in order to reach climate neutrality by 2045 in Sweden. However, it remains largely unclear to what extent scientific knowledge has contributed to the formulation of the climate neutrality policies.

Similarly, why is campaign clientelism widespread amongst voters despite its numerous negative consequences on societies, democracy, and development? These puzzles have motivated my research, where I att

We narrowed this down to six members and two staff members in Falkenberg Fountainhouse and Lund Fountainhouse. Using coping theories and Antonovsky's KASAM theory the findings suggest that some of the Fountainhouse members handled the pandemic well, often due to the digital implementations t

Att man blir trött och hängig av värme känner nog de flesta till, men de flesta av oss klarar det tack vare skugga, solskydd och vätska. Men under en intensiv och långvarig värmebölja kan det bli riktigt allvarligt om du är äldre och samtidigt har en i övrigt vacklande hälsa. Under senare år och inte minst under den senaste värmeböljan sommaren 2018 insåg många verksamhetsutövare för vård-/äldreboIn recent years, heat waves have begun to be perceived as one of the biggest problems due to climate change.
