Climate change increases the need for climate-adapted cities. In order to sustainably manage climate risks such as increased precipitation and temperatures, alternative solutions are required. Including nature-based solutions into urban planning can help mitigate these risks. Nature-based solutions are supported or inspired by nature and aim to solve problems related to climate change. The purpose

has learned what works and what lasts. It has been facing and has solved the problem humans stand before today and who better to turn to then someone that already been through the same experience. To find inspiration and to studies nature’s best ideas and then imitates these designs to solve human problems is what Biomimicry is all about.

Many studies have over the years utilized gravity models derived from trade theories to investigate how various factors affect trade in agricultural goods. Although technological improvements could be considered in such models, few studies have considered this topic in depth, leaving a void to fill. To partly fill this void, this study has chosen the silk sector to analyze the impact of technologi

Permafrost warming has the potential to amplify global climate change, because when frozen sediments thaw it unlocks soil organic carbon. Yet to date, no globally consistent assessment of permafrost temperature change has been compiled. Here we use a global data set of permafrost temperature time series from the Global Terrestrial Network for Permafrost to evaluate temperature change across permafPermafrost warming has the potential to amplify global climate change, because when frozen sediments thaw it unlocks soil organic carbon.

The Covid-19 crisis presents an opportunity to evaluate the effectiveness of fiscal policy by investigating how fiscal stimuli aided recovery from the pandemic in Sweden.

Has the legislator through the legislative changes come to a solution concerning the problem and limited the possibility for continue

Hazel (Corylus avellana) has been abundant in the vegetation of northern and central Europe since the early Holocene and has provided food and materials for humans ever since. Here we use stable carbon isotope (δ13C) values of hazelnut shells to infer woodland openness based on the premise of the “canopy effect”. It is well established that plants growing in dense, shaded forests have lower carbon

This paper analyses sexuality and relationship education (SRE) in a Swedish college programme aimed at young people with mobility impairments.
