2009-2011 “Strategies
for mitigating climate change – scenarios for land use in rural areas”.
The project deals with achieving targets for mitigating climate change.
Scenarios for two Swedish rural regions illustrating alternatives for
land-use in order to fulfil climate goals until 2050 will be developed.
Co-researchers: Rebecka
Milestad and Karl-Henrik Dreborg. Financed by Formas.
2008-2009 “Bioenergy from a land-use perspective – competition or synergies
with other interests?”. This pre-study focuses on potential synergies and
competition between production of bioenergy and production of food,
primarily, but also against other processes/functions such as e.g. ecosystem
services and urbanization. The pre-study is a cooperation between IVL,
Energy Technology, KTH and Environmental Strategies Research – fms, KTH. Financed by: CHU (Centrum
för Hållbar Utveckling), KTH
2008 “Goal Conflicts in Adaptation to Climate Change”. The project was
part of the Climatools research programme (www.climatools.se). The aim was to
provide basic data on what kind of goal conflicts Swedish decision makers
will likely have to handle as they make decisions concerning adaptation
in the sectors of the built environment, tourism and outdoor recreation,
and human health. Co-researcher and project leader: Karin Edvardsson
Björnberg, Division of Philosophy, KTH
2008 “Backcasting the target of decreased energy use in buildings by
50 % in 2050”. In this project backcasting methodology was used in order
to illustrate fulfilment of the target above and to identify possible
measures to get there. The focus of the project is on potential paths
towards target fulfilment using focus groups with different stakeholders.
Co-researchers: Rebecka Engström and Örjan Svane. Financed by the Swedish
Energy Agency.
2005-2007 "Environmental
classification of buildings", in the project a system for
environmental classification of buildings has been developed, based on a
life-cycle perspective and developed and tested in cooperation with
stakeholders. Financed by Formas and companies in the building sector.
2006-2007 Scenario Methods and the Swedish Environmental Quality
Objectives:
“Strategies for non-toxic
and resource efficient eco-cycles in different future scenarios”. The
project contributed to the evaluation of the GRK-strategy (”Strategy for
non-toxic and resource-efficient eco-cycles” In Swedish: Giftfria och
resurssnåla kretslopp). The main objective was to present packages of
measures and policy instruments for the GRK-strategy, and to evaluate
these under various possible future developments, using so-called
explorative external scenarios. Financed by the Swedish Environmental
Protection Agency.
“Strategies for management
of land, water and the built environment in different future scenarios”. This
project had the same objectives as the GRK-project described above, but
concerned the strategy for management of land, water and the built
environment (Hushållning med mark, vatten och bebyggd miljö – HUM).
2004 "Indicators for IPP", a study evaluating the need for indicators to monitor the
IPP (Integrated Product Policy) approach was
performed within the project. Co-researchers: Anna Björklund, Annica
Carlsson (SCB), Göran Finnveden, Viveka Palm (SCB) and Anders Wadeskog
(SCB). Financed by the Swedish EPA.
2004 “Evaluation of and potential for local food markets:
environmental aspects and function in knowledge transfer”, analyzing
local food markets and their potential for increasing consumer awareness
of environmental impacts of food. Co-researchers: Annika Carlsson-Kanyama
and Christine Wallgren. Financed by the Swedish Energy Agency and the
Office of Regional Planning and Urban Transportation (RTK)
1998-2004 “Sustainable regional food supply”, analyzing regional external
dependence, use of local resources and how altered production methods,
trade flows and changed consumption patterns within a region can
influence local resource use and ecosystem health. Co-researchers:
AnnMari Jansson and Rebecka Milestad. Financed by Formas.
