- Publication 16 August 2021 Adaptation in the context of technology development and transfer Starting from a summary of key developments under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) related to adaptation and technologies, the commentary provides an initial review of the available literature relevant to adaptation in the context of technology development and transfer. It summarizes what technologies for adaptation are, how they relate to development, and what their role is in adaptation. It subsequently highlights a number of policy and research issues that…
- Publication 16 August 2021 Technologies for adaptation to climate change. Examples from the agricultural and water sectors in Lebanon Increasing attention is being given to climate technologies on the international climate change agenda, not least in the agricultural sector and water sectors, and to technologies for adaptation. However investments in technology-based adaptation (seeds, dams, irrigation, etc.) are complicated by the fact that it remains difficult to predict future climate changeimpacts, especially on a local scale. In addition, evidence for the costs and benefits of implementing adaptation technologies is…
- Publication 16 August 2021 Rural electrification in Sub Saharan Africa in a context of fluctuating oil-prices Solar PV is one among other low carbon technologies for rural electrification in Sub Saharan Africa (SSA). Solar PV systems have for almost 30 years been disseminated in SSA, resulting in more than half a million installations concentrated in a few countries. While PV systems have technically matured and markets have gradually developed, PV for rural electrification has often been perceived with scepticism from potential users, donors, government officials and researchers, and solar PV has in…

- Publication 16 August 2021 The impact on human behaviour in shared building spaces as a result of COVID-19 restrictions The emerging trend dynamic work approaches is resulting in more open space designs at workplaces–a trend that is now being accelerated by the pandemic. This requires an objective understanding of how shared spaces are actually used, both in normal times and in response to a public health situation such as the COVID-19 pandemic. The purpose of this research was therefore to collect and analyse real- time occupancy patterns in open learning spaces before and after building policy restrictions…
