Greener and Fairer: A Progressive Environmental Tax Reform for Spain
(IAEE, 2019)Environmental externalities call for the use of environmental taxes to get prices right and thereby reduce environmental pressures. To date, however, the Spanish government makes only limited use of environmental ... -
Growth and resilience responses of Scots pine to extreme droughts across Europe depend on predrought growth conditions
(GLOBAL CHANGE BIOLOGY, 2020)Global climate change is expected to further raise the frequency and severity of extreme events, such as droughts. The effects of extreme droughts on trees are difficult to disentangle given the inherent complexity of ... -
Habitat fragmentation is linked to cascading effects on soil functioning and CO2 emissions in Mediterranean holm-oak-forests
(PeerJ, 2018)We studied key mechanisms and drivers of soil functioning by analyzing soil respiration and enzymatic activity in Mediterranean holm oak forest fragments with different influence of the agricultural matrix. For this, ... -
Health co-benefits and mitigation costs as per the Paris Agreement under different technological pathways for energy supply
(Elsevier, 2020)This study assesses the reductions in air pollution emissions and subsequent beneficial health effects from different global mitigation pathways consistent with the 2 °C stabilization objective of the Paris Agreement. We ... -
Health co-benefits from air pollution and mitigation costs of the Paris Agreement: a modelling study
(Elsevier, 2018)Background: Although the co-benefits from addressing problems related to both climate change and air pollution have been recognised, there is not much evidence comparing the mitigation costs and economic benefits of air ... -
Heat stress risk in European dairy cattle husbandry under different climate change scenarios-uncertainties and potential impacts
(EGU Publications, 2019)In the last decades, a global warming trend was observed. Along with the temperature increase, modifications in the humidity and wind regime amplify the regional and local impacts on livestock husbandry. Direct impacts ... -
Historical energy price shocks and their changing effects on the economy
(Elsevier, 2017)The purpose of this paper is to identify the changes in the impact of energy shocks on economic activity with an interest in assessing if an economy's vulnerability and resilience to shocks improved with economic ... -
Holocene sea-level database from the Atlantic coast of Europe
(Elsevier, 2018)High-quality relative sea-level (RSL) data reveal spatial and temporal variations in crustal movements during the Holocene, which are used for many applications, ranging from calibrating models of earth rheology and ice ... -
Hot-Moments of Soil CO2 Efflux in a Water-Limited Grassland
(MDPI, 2018)The metabolic activity of water-limited ecosystems is strongly linked to the timing and magnitude of precipitation pulses that can trigger disproportionately high (i.e., hot-moments) ecosystem CO2 fluxes. We analyzed over ... -
How are cities planning to respond to climate change? Assessment of local climate plans from 885 cities in the EU-28
(Elsevier, 2018)The Paris Agreement aims to limit global mean temperature rise this century to well below 2 °C above pre-industrial levels. This target has wide-ranging implications for Europe and its cities, which are the source of ... -
How do interactive flood simulation models influence decision-making? An observations-based evaluation method
(MDPI, 2019)Interactive flood simulations models are computer models that are usable for practitioners during work sessions, allowing demand-driven flood simulations together with domain experts. It is assumed among developers of such ... -
How to make ecological models useful for environmental management
(Elsevier, 2019)Understanding and predicting the ecological consequences of different management alternatives is becoming increasingly important to support environmental management decisions. Ecological models could contribute to such ... -
Human dependence on natural resources in rapidly urbanising South African regions
(IOP Publishing, 2019)Enhancing the governance of social-ecological systems for more equitable and sustainable development is hindered by inadequate knowledge about how different social groups and communities rely on natural resources. We used ... -
Identification of conservation and restoration priority areas in the Danube River based on the multi-functionality of river-floodplain systems
(Elsevier, 2019)Large river-floodplain systems are hotspots of biodiversity and ecosystem services but are also used for multiple human activities, making them one of the most threatened ecosystems worldwide. There is wide evidence that ... -
Identifying optimal technological portfolios for European power generation towards climate change mitigation: A robust portfolio analysis approach
(Elsevier, 2019)Here, an integrative approach is proposed to link integrated assessment modelling results from the GCAM model with a novel portfolio analysis framework. This framework comprises a bi-objective optimisation model, Monte ... -
Impact and distribution of climatic damages: a methodological proposal with a dynamic CGE model applied to global climate negotiations
(Springer Nature, 2018)The UNFCCC Paris Agreement, entered into force on 4 November 2016, represents a step forward in involving all countries in mitigation actions, even though it is based on a voluntary approach and lacks the active participation ... -
Implementing Integrated Water Resources Management in the Ebro River Basin: From Theory to Facts
(MDPI, 2015)In this article, we analyze how successful the implementation of Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM) in the Ebro river catchment (in Spain) has been. Our main aim is to show some gaps between theory and practice. ... -
Implications of switching fossil fuel subsidies to solar: A case study for the European Union
(MDPI, 2017)Fossil fuel subsidies (FFS) constitute one of the most obvious barriers to tackling climate change, as they encourage inefficient energy consumption and divert investment away from clean energy sources. According to the ... -
Importance of fisheries for food security across three climate change vulnerable deltas
(Elsevier, 2018)Deltas are home to a large and growing proportion of the world's population, often living in conditions of extreme poverty. Deltaic ecosystems are ecologically significant as they support high biodiversity and a variety ... -
Improving collaboration between ecosystem service communities and the IPBES science-policy platform
(Taylor and Francis, 2020)The end of the first working program of the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) provided an opportunity to draw lessons from its work. This perspective paper captures ...
