Abstract:

According to various studies, the effects of climate change will be a danger to ecosystems and the population, especially in coastal areas, increasing the risk of floods. Authorities are taking action to prevent future disasters using traditional engineering solutions. These solutions can have high environmental and economic costs, fixing the coastline, increasing the salinization of aquifers, and can be subject to failure mechanisms. For this reason, studies were made to use natural engineering solutions for coastal protection, instead of traditional solutions, to achieve the UN SDGs. Coasta

Abstract:

Sanitation, renewable energy, and food security are among the most pressing global development needs of the century, especially for small cities with rapid population growth. Currently, 53% of the world’s population either lacks access to improved sanitation or discharges fecal waste to the environment without treatment. Furthermore, 80% of food consumed in developing regions is produced by 500 million small farms, and while many of them are still rain-fed, irrigated agriculture is increasing. The post-2015 Sustainable Development Goals, recently adopted by the United Nations, include targets

Abstract:

Heavy precipitation events are expected to increase in the future, due to climate change. This predicted change will increase the risk of flooding, especially in urban areas. To mitigate these challenges and support a sustainable urban development, Nature-based solutions (NBS) can be used as a flood risk reduction measure. The NBS wetlands and constructed wetlands, composed of ponds, canals and ditches, are commonly used solutions which are multifunctional and primarily provides flood regulatory services, water quality improvements and increased biodiversity. To reach the full potential of NBS

The paper evaluates nature-based solutions for a retrofitting proposal for the combined regeneration, climate adaptation, and green space management of the industrial area Gåsebäck in Helsingborg, Sweden. The objective of this study was to evaluate options for how Gåsebäck could be sustainably regenerated and developed, while providing additional security against future negative effects of climate change, through the implementation of nature-based solutions. The methods used were unstructured interviews, literature study, thematic data analysis, and scoping review. Some urban societal challeng

Abstract:

In recent decades, adaptation to the impacts of climate change has become a key agenda for cities around the globe. A growing body of literature has already illustrated how cities are a key driver of climate change, its main victim and a promising site for action. Meanwhile, climate change has brought not only new responsibilities but also a new lexicon for urban practitioners. Concepts such as urban climate resilience and the idea of nature’s benefits for climate adaptation, embodied in the “green concepts” – nature-based solutions (NbS), ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) and blue-green

Abstract:

A key challenge for sustainable urban development is to deal with the effects of climate change. To approach this issue, ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA), i.e. the use of ecosystem services for climate adaptation, has been promoted by both scholars and practitioners. In this context, the thesis addresses two research questions: how EbA is included in strategic climate adaptation planning and how EbA is implemented in practice. To tackle these topics, the study uses a multiple case study design, where the process from strategic planning to its implementation is investigated in two Northern Euro

Abstract:

Flooding over the last few years has become the most frequent and devastating of the natural disasters. This has accounted for approximately half of the death-rate and a third of economic losses as a result of weather-related events. Though these flooding events affect many cities across the globe, it is often the less fortunate who are disproportionately impacted by such events. There are many factors as to why this is the unfortunate case, with a high number of the underprivileged urban population finding themselves living in informal settlements. These settlements are often developed on env

The energy security and climate change risks of fossil fuel consumption have stimulated interest in developing renewable energy sources. Canada’s vast biomass potential is an attractive local resource but high transportation costs are a barrier to implementation. This study assesses how transformative systems can enable large-scale bioenergy production through integration with existing transportation corridors and fossil fuel infrastructure. Potential bioenergy corridors include the network of natural gas pipelines and the Great Lakes St. Lawrence Seaway (GLSLS). Sustainable lignocellulosic bi

A emergência climática aliada às consequências dos processos globais de urbanização do passado recente está na origem de uma série de desafios sociais, ambientais e económicos, em particular nas cidades. Os corredores verdes urbanos, reconhecidos como uma solução de base natural, são infraestruturas verdes que através dos serviços de ecossistema que fornecem, contribuem para atenuar algumas destas problemáticas. Frequentemente não lhes é conferida a devida importância por parte da sociedade em geral, pois o seu valor em termos monetários não é conhecido. Esta tese de mestrado incide sobre um

Abstract:

The on-going and fast-urban development brought along changes in land-use patterns having resulted in a major conversion of natural landscapes into urban ones and a subsequent impermeabilization of surfaces. This came with problems of different dimensions which are expected to be exacerbated by climate change: increased flood risk, “urban heat islands”, increased air pollution and reduced quality of life. Current ‘hard’ engineering solutions to adapt to urban challenges usually require landscape changes, maintenance and depreciate over time. Nature-based solutions came as efficient and eco-fri

Abstract:

Climate change has impacts on urban regions and human populations as well as consequences for urban ecosystems, biodiversity and the environmental services they provide to these populations. Developing urban and peri-urban ecosystem services with a nature-based and participatory approach, can help achieve more resilient and sustainable environments for cities and urban regions. Co-creation is increasingly recognized as the way forward to deal with such environmental issues, though associated methods and tools have been developed, described and published for specific stages of the co-creation p

ABSTRACT : The largest problem facing human beings today is global warming. Every day, due to heavy consumption of petroleum and nuclear products, a huge amount of electricity is used. This electricity, in turn, fuels the global industry that produces cooling and warming systems for buildings, and this worrying reality has created a lot of biological disasters by adding pollution to our environment, including the increase of greenhouse gas etc. Currently, seventy percent of developing countries are located in hot temperature climates. In addition to dealing with hot climate issues, these
