The Human Factor in Transmission Network Expansion Planning: The Grid That a Sustainable Energy System Needs
(Sustainability (Switzerland), 2022)The decarbonization of the energy sector puts additional pressure on the transmission network. The main cause for this is that renewable sources are often more abundant in geographical areas far away from the main demand ... -
The impact of multipurpose dams on the values of nature's contributions to people under a water-energy-food nexus framing
(Ecological Economics, 2023-04-01)The paper proposes a probabilistic approach to the assessment of the impacts of multipurpose dams. It is framed around the notion of Nature's Contributions to People (NCP) in the setting of the Water-Energy-Food nexus. The ... -
The Impact of U.S. Re-engagement in Climate on the Paris Targets
(Earth's Future, 2021)The Paris Agreement seeks to combine international efforts to keep global temperature increase to well-below 2°C. Whilst current ambitions in many signatories are insufficient to achieve this goal, optimism prevailed in ... -
The impacts of decarbonization pathways on Sustainable Development Goals in the European Union
(Communications Earth and Environment, 2024-12-01)Climate action to achieve the Paris Agreement should respect the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Here, we use an integrated assessment modelling framework comprising nine climate policy models and quantify ... -
The importance of a holistic approach to the factors determining population abundances
(Journal of Animal Ecology, 2023)Ogilvie, J. E., & CaraDonna, P. J. (2022). The shifting importance of abiotic and biotic factors across the life cycles of wild pollinators. Journal of Animal Ecology, 91, 2412– 2423. https://doi.org/10.1111/1365- 2656.13825. ... -
The long-term restoration of ecosystem complexity
(Nature Ecology and Evolution, 2020-05-01)Multiple large-scale restoration strategies are emerging globally to counteract ecosystem degradation and biodiversity loss. However, restoration often remains insufficient to offset that loss. To address this challenge, ... -
The natural capital accounting opportunity: Let s really do the numbers

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 ... -
