Biophysical and socioeconomic state and links of deltaic areas vulnerable to climate change: Volta (Ghana), Mahanadi (India) and Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna (India and Bangladesh)
(MDPI, 2018)We examine the similarities and differences of specific deltaic areas in parallel, under the project DEltas, vulnerability and Climate Change: Migration and Adaptation (DECCMA). The main reason for studying Deltas is their ... -
Border Carbon Adjustments Based on Avoided Emissions: Addressing the Challenge of Its Design
(Elsevier, 2018)Carbon pricing is an essential instrument to address climate change. However international differences in carbon control policies may cause not only carbon leakage but also competitiveness disadvantages. In this context, ... -
Building Risk into the Mitigation/Adaptation Decisions simulated by Integrated Assessment Models
(Springer Nature, 2019)This paper proposes an operationally simple and easily generalizable methodology to incorporate climate change damage uncertainty into Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs). First uncertainty is transformed into a risk measure ... -
Can existing assessment tools be used to track equity in protected area management under Aichi Target 11?
(Biological Conservation, 2018-08-01)Aichi Target 11 (AT11) includes the commitment of 194 governments to equitably manage protected areas (PAs) by 2020. Here we evaluate whether existing PA Management Effectiveness (PAME) and social and governance assessment ... -
Can we estimate the impact of small targeted dietary changes on human health and environmental sustainability?
(Environmental Impact Assessment Review, 2023-09-01)A recent analysis by Stylianou et al. (2021) estimated the impact of small dietary changes in the consumption of individual foods on human health and the environment, expressed as minutes of healthy life lost or gained ... -
Carbon footprint of dairy goat production systems: A comparison of three contrasting grazing levels in the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park (Southern Spain)
(Elsevier, 2019)The main objective of this study was to analyze the carbon footprint (CF) of grazing dairy goat systems in a natural park according to their grazing level. A total of 16 representative grazing goat farms in southern Spain ... -
Carbon footprint of transhumant sheep farms: accounting for natural baseline emissions in Mediterranean systems
(International Journal of Life Cycle Assessment, 2023)Purpose: Transhumance has rarely been analyzed through LCA approaches, and there is little evidence about its emissions level when conducted under different practices (by truck or on foot) or compared to sedentary livestock ... -
Carbon footprint, municipality size and rurality in Spain: Inequality and carbon taxation
(Elsevier, 2020)By using an environmentally extended multi-regional input-output model, this paper analyses the Spanish households carbon footprint for the 2008 2017 period considering the municipality size as well as the urban or rural ... -
Carbon-nitrogen interactions in European forests and semi-natural vegetation - Part 1: Fluxes and budgets of carbon, nitrogen and greenhouse gases from ecosystem monitoring and modelling
(Biogeosciences, 2020)The impact of atmospheric reactive nitrogen (Nr) deposition on carbon (C) sequestration in soils and biomass of unfertilized, natural, semi-natural and forest ecosystems has been much debated. Many previous results of this ... -
Carbon-nitrogen interactions in European forests and semi-natural vegetation - Part 2: Untangling climatic, edaphic, management and nitrogen deposition effects on carbon sequestration potentials
(Biogeosciences, 2020-03-26)"The effects of atmospheric nitrogen deposition (N-dep) on carbon (C) sequestration in forests have often been assessed by relating differences in productivity to spatial variations of N-dep across a large geographic domain. ... -
Cascading effects associated with climate-change-induced conifer mortality in mountain temperate forests result in hot-spots of soil CO 2 emissions
(Elsevier, 2019)Climate change-induced tree mortality is occurring worldwide, at increasingly larger scales and with increasing frequency. How climate change-induced tree mortality could affect the ecology and carbon (C) sink capacity of ... -
Challenges and directions toward a general theory of ecological recovery dynamics: A metacommunity perspective
(One Earth, 2021-08-20)Global change degrades ecosystems worldwide. Scientific research has advanced our knowledge of the impacts of global change on ecosystems. Comparatively, however, it remains unclear how ecosystems recover after disturbances. ... -
Challenges for the balanced attribution of livestock's environmental impacts: The art of conveying simple messages around complex realities
(Animal Frontiers, 2023-04-01)... -
Challenges in the harmonisation of global integrated assessment models: A comprehensive methodology to reduce model response heterogeneity
(SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT, 2021)Harmonisation sets the ground to a solid inter-comparison of integrated assessment models. A clear and transparent harmonisation process promotes a consistent interpretation of the modelling outcomes divergences and, ... -
Challenging Harmony to Save Nature? Environmental Activism and Ethics in Taiwan and Japan
(International Journal for Crime, Justice and Social Democracy, 2021-01-01)To save nature, environmental activists in Taiwan and Japan are willing to change their behavior and society itself, challenging harmony in their communities. This paper explores the tension between globally relevant ... -

Changes in institutional and social–ecological system robustness due to the adoption of large-scale irrigation technology in Navarre (Spain)
(Environmental Policy and Governance, 2020-07-01)Many regional and national organisations promote the modernisation of agriculture by supporting new technologies to increase their territory's competitiveness in a free-market context. Such technologies and their associated ... -
Characterising the rural-urban gradient through the participatory mapping of ecosystem services: Insights for landscape planning
(Pensoft Publishers, 2018)The application of the ecosystem services (ES) framework in landscape planning has become particularly relevant in rural-urban gradients since it allows for the integration of the complex interactions between ES supply and ... -
Climate action from a gender perspective: A systematic review of the impact of climate policies on inequality
(Energy Research and Social Science, 2024-06-01)In 1992 the United Nations committed to promoting a gender perspective in all environmental and development programs and to establishing mechanisms for assessing the impact of environmental policies on women. However, 30 ... -
Climate adaptation indicators and metrics: State of local policy practice
(Ecological Indicators, 2022)Recent systematic reviews show that, overall, and across governance levels and sectors, climate change adaptation monitoring and evaluation (M&E) systems are rarely programmed and implemented. As a result, there is a ...
