Summary:
The paper examines the circumstances under which generic adaptive capacity of a system is translated into actual adaptation to climate change, what form it takes and what factors facilitates or restrains such processes. This is done by an in-depth analysis of adaptation to climate change in the Water supply and Wastewater (WW) sector of the Stockholm Region. The analysis shows that the adaptation options open to the WW organizations are conditioned principally by the ability to justify the additional resources adaptation to climate change requires

Mistra-SWECIA Science seminar: The effects of different energy sources and technological progress on climate change
Fossil energy and technological progress are two important factors that potentially influence climate change. Today, the main source of energy is fossil energy, and its use generates CO2-emissions with global warming as result. Technological progress can however improve the energy efficiency and potentially lead to the implementation of alternative clean energy sources that may partially or fully...
