The potential land requirements and related land use change emissions of solar energy
(Nature, 2021-02-03)Although the transition to renewable energies will intensify the global competition for land, the potential impacts driven by solar energy remain unexplored. In this work, the potential solar land requirements and related ... -
The potential of behavioural change for climate change mitigation: a case study for the European Union
(Springer, 2018)Mainstream literature on climate change concentrates overwhelmingly on technological solutions for this global long-term problem, while a change towards climate-friendly behaviour could play a role in emission reduction ... -
The potential of ecosystem-based management to integrate biodiversity conservation and ecosystem service provision in aquatic ecosystems
(Science of the Total Environment, 2019)Global aquatic biodiversity keeps declining rapidly, despite international efforts providing a variety of policies and legislations that identify goals for, and give directions to protecting the world's aquatic fauna and ... -
The power of impact framing and experience for determining acceptable levels of climate change-induced flood risk: a lab experiment
(Mitigation and Adaptation Strategies for Global Change, 2022-02-01)This study explores how individuals, when assuming the role of policymakers, determine acceptable levels of risk in response to (a) different framings of flood risk information and (b) after experiencing economic losses ... -
The price of energy efficiency in the Spanish housing market
(Energy Policy, 2016)The housing sector is a substantial consumer of energy, and therefore a focus for energy savings efforts. The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD), introduced in 2002 and revised in 2010, is a key instrument ... -
The Promotion of Sustainable Diets in the Healthcare System and Implications for Health Professionals: A Scoping Review
(MDPI, 2021-02-26)The impacts of the current global food system are already visible in the environment and in the health of the population. The promotion of sustainable diets is key to counter the negative consequences. The healthcare system ... -
The role of artificial intelligence in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals
(Springer Nature, 2020)The emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) and its progressively wider impact on many sectors requires an assessment of its effect on the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. Using a consensus-based expert ... -
The role of land use and land cover change in climate change vulnerability assessments of biodiversity: a systematic review
(Landscape Ecology, 2021-12-01)For many organisms, responses to climate change (CC) will be affected by land-use and land-cover changes (LULCC). However, the extent to which LULCC is concurrently considered in climate change vulnerability assessments ... -
The Role of Non-Covalent Interactions on Cluster Formation: Pentamer, Hexamers and Heptamer of Difluoromethane
(Wiley, 2021-07-26)The role of non-covalent interactions (NCIs) has broadened with the inclusion of new types of interactions and a plethora of weak donor/acceptor partners. This work illustrates the potential of chirped-pulse Fourier transform ... -
The Role of Premorbid IQ and Age of Onset as Useful Predictors of Clinical, Functional Outcomes, and Recovery of Individuals with a First Episode of Psychosis
(MDPI, 2021-06-02)Background: premorbid IQ (pIQ) and age of onset are predictors of clinical severity and long-term functioning after a first episode of psychosis. However, the additive influence of these variables on clinical, functional, ... -
The role of production factors on landings heterogeneity between EU countries
(Elsevier, 2021-10)[EN]Distribution of natural resources is considered to be a key aspect in ensuring the success of conservation policies. The Common Fisheries Policy, implemented by the European Union (EU), is an example of long-term ... -
