Low emission scenario for Europe powered by lifestyle changes

Vincent Moreau, Luis Costa

Decarbonizing economic activities requires simultaneous behavioural and technological changes. At the household level, actions are straightforward, use public transit and stay off dairy and meat. The objective here is to estimate the overall climate benefi ...

Barriers to the implementation of international agreements on the ground: Climate change and resilience building in the Araucanía Region of Chile

Nicola Mary Banwell, Silvia Hostettler

Implementing disaster risk reduction (DRR), climate change adaptation and mitigation (CCA/M), and sustainable development are key to increasing community resilience to pressing climate change risks. Barriers to grassroots implementation of national and int ...

Ensemble modelling of ice cover for a reservoir affected by pumped-storage operation and climate change

Martin Schmid, Ulrike Kobler

Ensemble modelling was used to assess the robustness of projected impacts of pumped-storage (PS) operation and climate change on reservoir ice cover. To this end, three one-dimensional and a two-dimensional laterally averaged hydrodynamic model were set up ...

Cost and benefits of climate change in Switzerland

Philippe Thalmann, Marc Vielle, Frank Vöhringer, Boris Thurm, Dario Stocker, Wolfgang Knoke, Anita Frehner

Understanding the economic magnitude of climate change impacts is a prerequisite for developing adequate adaptation strategies. In Switzerland, despite new climate scenarios and impact studies, only few impacts have been monetized. Our objective is to asse ...

Quantifying the effects of land use and climate on Holocene vegetation in Europe

Jed Oliver Kaplan

Early agriculture can be detected in palaeovegetation records, but quantification of the relative importance of climate and land use in influencing regional vegetation composition since the onset of agriculture is a topic that is rarely addressed. We prese ...

Investigating the importance of future climate typology on estimating the energy performance of buildings in the EPFL campus

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Jérôme Henri Kämpf, Silvia Coccolo, Vahid Moussavi Nik

Climate changes induce warmer climate with stronger and more frequent extreme events. Due to the uncertain nature of climate, accurate simulation of future conditions is impossible and a major challenge is the selection of climate data in the impact assess ...
