Development of Climate Resilient Ports: Achieving Viable and Efficient Investments in Landlord Container Terminals

Being nodal points in global supply chain network, port operations disrupted by adverse climate change impacts would bear substantial costs. Therefore, adapting ports to climate change and building their climate resilience are essential. However, the needs may not have been adequately acknowledged by port stakeholders. A series of problem...

Climate Change and Economic Growth: Production Based versus Consumption Based Evidence on the Decoupling of CO2 Emissions from Economic Growth

Of all the issues the world is facing today, Climate Change is the most threatening. The atmospheric concentration of greenhouse gases has increased significantly after industrial revolution and the vast majority of scientists now agree that most of the observed warming in the Earth’s climate system has been caused by these anthropogenic...

Society's response to climate change - A scenario discovery study using agent-based modelling

This research has been aimed at identifying internally consistent and plausible narratives on the pathways of society’s response to climate change. In this research, society’s response to climate change has been interpreted as the emergence of climate change mitigation action by society. Studying society’s response to climate change is hampered...

Resilience of electricity systems: An ABM approach in understanding resilience of large scale sociotechnical systems

Large scale sociotechnical systems such as electricity systems will have to deal with the effects of climate change. Constant effort keeps this system operational as much as possible. Traditional metrics can tell us something about the system such as the amount of power that is generated or consumed, or the amount of consumers whose needs are...

Den Haag’s options against urban heat: Assessment and recommendations for current environmental policies regarding temperature effects

Climate change is characterised by a global increase in temperature and by the increase in the number of extreme weather events like; heatwaves, extreme droughts, and heavy rainfall. Ur-banisation can be seen as a climate problem, for example because of the lack of water storage in cities during times of drought and the lack of drainage during...
