Bastidas-Arteaga, E. (author), Rianna, G. (author), Gervasio, H. (author), Nogal Macho, M. (author)The built environment is already facing severe consequences related to climate change. Considering the durability of structures, the increase of carbon-dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) concentration and changes on temperature and relative humidity may accelerate carbonation-induced corrosion, thus affecting the service life of reinforced concrete...journal article 2022

Teodoro Morales, J.D. (author), Doorn, N. (author), Kwakkel, J.H. (author), Comes, M. (author)To adapt to a changing climate, decision-makers design, evaluate, and implement measures that have an implication of justice on citizens in the present and well into the future. Decision-makers are often required to make decisions without certainty of the consequences and understanding their effects on intergenerational justice. Thus, managing...journal article 2022

(author), Foramitti, Joël (author), Konc, Théo (author), Niamir, Leila (author), Safarzynska, Karolina (author), van den Bergh, Jeroen (author)Ambitious climate mitigation policies face social and political resistance. One reason is that existing policies insufficiently capture the diversity of relevant insights from the social sciences about potential policy outcomes. We argue that agent-based models can serve as a powerful tool for integration of elements from different disciplines....journal article 2022

Moghim, Sanaz (author), Teuling, Adriaan J. (author), Uijlenhoet, R. (author)Globally, the impacts of climate change can vary across different regions. This study uses a probability framework to evaluate recent historical (1976–2016) and near-future projected (until 2049) climate change across Europe using Climate Research Unit and ensemble climate model datasets (under RCPs 2.6 and 8.5). A historical assessment shows...journal article 2022

Vijay, V. (author), Kapoor, Rimika (author), Priyanka Singh, P. (author), Hiloidhari, Moonmoon (author), Ghosh, Pooja (author)Clean energy transition via utilizing biomass resources has been projected as an important climate change mitigation strategy. A vital characteristic of biomass is its localized nature; therefore, bioenergy utilization should follow decentralized planning. Agrarian countries like India can take benefit of its large agricultural biomass waste...journal article 2022
