Nordic Green to Scale for Cities and Communities: How far could we go simply by scaling up already proven climate solutions?
Green to Scale is a series of analysis projects that have highlighted the potential of scaling up existing climate solutions. Nordic Green to Scale for Cities and Communities analyses proven climate solutions from Nordic cities and municipalities. This report presents the emission reduction potential of 14 selected solutions. The study highlights the costs, savings and co-benefits of implementing the solutions as well as makes policy recommendations for capturing the potential. The project was carried out by the Finnish Innovation Fund Sitra, together with its partners CICERO, CONCITO, Stockholm Environment Institute, Institute of Sustainability Studies at the University of Iceland and C40 Cities. The project is part of the Nordic Council of Ministers’ Prime Ministers’ Initiative Nordic Solutions to Global Challenges.
Mobilizing climate finance flows
If the Agreement’s goal - limit the global temperature increase below 2°C - is to be met, all financial flows need to shift dramatically and rapidly from current investment patterns to 2°C compatible pathways. This study analyses the roles Nordic actors might play in mobilizing finance flows internationally and outlines a roadmap that can guide joint Nordic action during the next five to ten years. While the roadmap covers components of “climate related ODA” and climate compatible contributions from the private sector, the focus of the roadmap lies on the crucial bridging and dialogue that is required between key actors. Building on identified Nordic strengths and areas needing accelerated international support, the report concludes with a set of immediate next steps to operationalize the roadmap in 2017-2018.
Sustainable Investing
This book reviews the latest methods of sustainable investing and financial profit making and describes how ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) analysis can identify future business opportunities and manage risk to achieve abnormal returns. Megatrends such as climate change, sustainable development and digitalisation increase uncertainty and information asymmetry and have an impact on the future returns on investments. From a profit perspective, it is largely about how ESG factors affect the long-term value added by companies and the valuation of companies in the financial markets. Although sustainability provides an opportunity for abnormal returns, this phenomenon must be considered in...
Tienhaarassa
Ilmastonmuutos muuttaa kaiken. Mutta onko meillä keinoja reagoida muutokseen? Planeetta Maa syntyi noin 4,5 miljardia vuotta sitten. Ihmisen suku kehittyi noin 2 miljoonaa vuotta sitten ja nykyihminen noin 300 000 vuotta sitten. Ihmisen evoluutio kehittyi nopeasti laajamittaisen maatalouden synnyttyä noin 10 000 vuotta sitten. Samoihin aikoihin maapallolla alkoi nykyinen geologinen aikakausi, olosuhteiltaan vakaa holoseeni. Se mahdollisti nykyihmisen kulttuurin nopean kehityksen metsästäjä-keräilijästä maanviljelijäksija lopulta kirjoitettua kieltä hyödyntäväksi teolliseksi kaupunkilaiseksi. Teollinen vallankumous, väestönkasvu, vaurastuminen, kulutushysteria ja fossiilisten p...

Valot päälle!
Kaikki mitä haluat tietää energiasta! Kun tavallinen kuluttaja haluaa pienentää energian käyttöään, monella menee sormi suuhun. Millaisilla valinnoilla on oikeasti merkitystä? Kuinka paljon kahvinkeittimesi kuluttaa energiaa? Milloin tavallinen auto kannattaa vaihtaa sähköautoon? Entä kuinka monta tuulivoimapuistoa tai ydinvoimalaa tarvittaisiin, jos koko Suomi ryhtyisi ajamaan ulkomaisen öljyn sijaan kotimaisella sähköllä? Tuomas Vanhasen Valot päälle! on helppolukuinen kirja ilmastonmuutoksesta ja energiakysymyksistä. Kirjan avulla opit ymmärtämään energiaa käytännönläheisestä näkökulmasta ja saat vinkkejä, joiden avulla jokainen voi tehdä osuutensa ilmastonmuutoksen torjumisessa. Sagan ympäristökirjat ovat monipuolisia puheenvuoroja ilmastosta, ympäristöstä ja luonnosta. Tuomas Vanhanen on väitöskirjatutkija Tampereen yliopistossa. Hän on koulutukseltaan energiatekniikan ja -talouden diplomi-insinööri. Vanhanen on erikoistunut energia- ja ilmastokysymyksiin.
Nordic Green to Scale for countries:
Green to Scale is a series of analysis projects that have highlighted the potential of scaling up existing climate solutions. Nordic Green to Scale for countries zooms in on two regions: the Baltic States, Poland and Ukraine in Europe; and Kenya and Ethiopia in East Africa. This report presents the emission reduction potential of 10 selected solutions for the European target countries. The study highlights the costs, savings and co-benefits of implementing the solutions as well as makes policy recommendations for capturing the potential. The project was carried out by the Finnish Innovation Fund Sitra, together with its partners CICERO, CONCITO and Institute of Sustainability Studies at the University of Iceland. The technical analysis was produced by the Stockholm Environment Institute Tallinn Centre. The project is part of the Nordic Council of Ministers' Prime Ministers’ Initiative.
Social Ecology
This book presents the current state of the art in Social Ecology as practiced by the Vienna School of Social Ecology, globally one of the main research groups in this field. As a significant contribution to the growing literature on interdisciplinary sustainability studies, the book introduces the purpose and nature of Social Ecology and then places the “Vienna School” within the broader context of socioecological and other interdisciplinary environmental approaches. The conceptual and methodological foundations of Social Ecology are discussed in detail, allowing the reader to obtain a broad overview of current socioecological thinking. Issues covered include socio-metabolic transitions...
