- Publication 16 August 2021 Efectos a corto plazo de las intrusiones de polvo sahariano en las variables adversas al nacimiento en España The purpose of this study is to analyze the short-term effects of atmospheric pollutant concentrations and heat/cold waves on adverse outcomes at birth associated with Saharan dust advection. The dependent variables used in this analysis were the total number of births, the number of births showing low birth weight (< 2 500 g) and the number preterm births (< 37 weeks) occurred in Spain (data provided by INE). Days with Saharan dust intrusion were classified in each of the nine regions in…
- Publication 16 August 2021 Strengthening National MRV Systems – Options and Approaches for India: MRV Framework for Passenger Road Transport Policies and Actions The transport sector in India accounted for 24% of the commercial energy demand in 2016 and it was the second-largest energy consumer after the industry sector (TEDDY 2018). In 2010, the sector accounted for 10% of the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of India and therefore holds an important place for achievement of India’s Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) targets to reduce the emissions intensity of its gross domestic product (GDP) by 33%–35% below 2005 levels by 2030 and NDC targets…
- Publication 16 August 2021 How regional factors influence the performance of science and technology parks: a comparative analysis of regional science parks in Thailand Recent research on science and technology parks (STPs) has called for including regional contextual factors in studies of STP performance. However, no study has yet systematically assessed how regional contextual factors support or hinder STP performance. We apply a systematic framework to a comparative case study of three regional STPs in Thailand and analyse the effects of varying conditions along five dimensions: urbanisation, industrial structure, regional institutions and culture,…

- Publication 16 August 2021 District heating for China’s energy transition: Lessons from Sino-Danish collaboration Cities are important role models for achieving sustainable green urban development. More than half the world’s population now lives in cities, which are responsible for over 70% of global energy use. Energy use in the urban areas of municipal corporations accounts for 40 to 50% of GHG emissions worldwide, compared to rural areas outside cities (Gielen 2019). In 2013, the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) initiated research on and surveyed low-carbon cities worldwide to identify the key…
- Publication 16 August 2021 Emissions Gap Report 2020 The report finds that, despite a brief dip in carbon dioxide emissions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the world is still heading for a temperature rise in excess of 3°C this century – far beyond the Paris Agreement goals of limiting global warming to well below 2°C and pursuing 1.5°C. However, a low-carbon pandemic recovery could cut 25 per cent off the greenhouse emissions expected in 2030, based on policies in place before COVID-19. Such a recovery would far outstrip savings foreseen with…
