Nordic agriculture air and climate
This report constitutes the main outputs of the project “Pathways to a Nordic food system that contributes to reduced emissions of greenhouse gases and air pollutants”. The overall goals are to present the baseline data regarding the Nordic agricultural sector, its greenhouse gas and ammonia emissions, the regulatory framework and support systems, and conflicts of interest. The report aims to describe pathways to a Nordic food system that contributes to achieving the climate target of below 2 (or 1.5) degrees of warming and the air pollution target of zero exceedance of critical loads and critical levels regarding ammonia emissions. The Nordic region has diverse geological and climatic conditions that make certain types of agricultural production more vulnerable than others. The policy recommendations aim to serve as input to different policies at EU, Nordic and national level.
Future Nordic Diets:
Farming is the foundation of our food system. While the prerequisite for farming is a clean environment and a diverse nature, agriculture is currently the cause of major environmental problems, including greenhouse gas and nitrogen emissions. The challenge to protect our environment and feed the world sometimes seem insurmountable, but solutions might be just around the corner. This report describes two food system scenarios for Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden, where the majority of food is produced within the region using organic farming practices and where livestock is mainly fed on grass and by-products not suitable for human consumption. The results show that we could feed the projected Nordic population in 2030 on organic food, mostly grown within the region, while reducing the climate and nitrogen footprints of our food system.

Climate Action in a Globalizing World
The existence and urgency of global climate change is a matter of scientific consensus. Yet the global politics of climate change have been anything but consensual. In this context, a wave of global climate activism has emerged in the last decade in response to the perceived failure of the political negotiations. This book provides a unique comparative study of environmental movements in USA, Japan, Denmark and Sweden, analyzing their interaction with the international climate institutions of the United Nations, with national governments, and with currents in the global climate movement. It documents how and why the movement evolved between the Copenhagen Summit of 2009 and the Paris Summit of 2015, altering its strategies and tactics while attracting new actors to the issue area. Further, it demonstrates how the development of global environmental networks has increased contact between environmental movements in the Global North and those from the Global South, resulting in the establishment of ‘climate justice’ as a political cause and unifying frame for global climate activism.

Energietransitionen
Energietransitionsprozesse werden weltweit nicht zuletzt durch die Überzeugungen der Akteure geprägt. Meike Löhr untersucht dieses Verständnis von Akteuren und Akteurskoalitionen der Energietransition in Dänemark, Deutschland und Frankreich, um damit die kognitive Dimension des Wandels zu erörtern und zu einem besseren Verständnis von Energietransitionsprozessen beizutragen. Die integrierte Untersuchung der Entwicklung und Phasen der Transitionsprozesse von den 1970er Jahren bis heute zeigt die geteilten Transitionsziele und divergenten Transitionspfade im Ländervergleich auf. Im Brückenschlag zwischen politikwissenschaftlicher Forschung und Transitionsforschung lassen sich die kognitive Dimension des Wandels sowie die Determinanten der Energietransition bestimmen. Dies ist eine Grundvoraussetzung für die Gestaltung, Umsetzung und Beschleunigung von Energietransitionen.
