In order to meet Sweden's climate goals it is necessary that new materials, technologies and working methods continue to evolve. Knowledge, cooperation and communication are described as important elements in order to develop the work towards increased sustainability in the construction sector in Sweden.

  • Climate Services for Renewable Energy in the Nordic Electricity Market
    climate Article Climate Services for Renewable Energy in the Nordic Electricity Market Kirsten Halsnæs 1, Lisa Bay 1 , Per Skougaard Kaspersen 1,2, Martin Drews 1 and Morten Andreas Dahl Larsen 1,* 1 Department of Management Engineering, Technical University of Denmark, Produktionstorvet, Building 424, 2800 Kgs Lyngby, Denmark; [email protected] (K.H.); [email protected] (L.B.); [email protected] (P.S.K.); [email protected] (M.D.) 2 LNH Water, Kathøjvej 3, 3080 Tikøb, Denmark * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +45-25119895 Abstract: To limit global warming to less than 2 ◦C requires a low-carbon transition with very large shares of renewables. Options such as wind, solar and hydro are influenced by both short and longer-term weather and climate variability. While still subject to natural and anthropogenic climate forcing and fluctuating energy prices, water reservoirs can dually operate as storage and production facilities and serve to balance the more volatile production capacity from solar and wind. This paper assesses the dynamics and demands of the hydro-dominated Nordic electricity system and market and identifies untapped potential for climate services based on a combination of literature-based research, documented stakeholder needs and data sources on historical and future conditions. A critical need for both improving the appropriateness and reliability of existing climate services and for developing new tailored solutions for a broader group of stakeholders from the renewable energy sector in the Nordics is observed. The quantification of uncertainties related to short-term weather forecasts and longer-term climate predictions is also found to be important for minimizing the financial risk in relation to systems management and to overall investments in renewable energy.

  • Government Communication 2011/12:56 a Coordinated Long-Term Strategy for Roma Skr
    Government communication 2011/12:56 A coordinated long-term strategy for Roma Skr. inclusion 2012–2032 2011/12:56 The Government hereby submits this communication to the Riksdag. Stockholm, 16 February 2012 Fredrik Reinfeldt Erik Ullenhag (Ministry of Employment) Key contents of the communication This communication presents a coordinated and long-term strategy for Roma inclusion for the period 2012–2032. The strategy includes investment in development work from 2012–2015, particularly in the areas of education and employment, for which the Government has earmarked funding (Govt. Bill. 2011/12:1, Report 2011/12:KU1, Riksdag Communication 2011/12:62). The twenty-year strategy forms part of the minority policy strategy (prop. 2008/09:158) and is to be regarded as a strengthening of this minority policy (Govt. Bill 1998/99:143). The target group is above all those Roma who are living in social and economic exclusion and are subjected to discrimination. The whole implementation of the strategy should be characterised by Roma participation and Roma influence, focusing on enhancing and continuously monitoring Roma access to human rights at the local, regional and national level. The overall goal of the twenty-year strategy is for a Roma who turns 20 years old in 2032 to have the same opportunities in life as a non-Roma. The rights of Roma who are then twenty should be safeguarded within regular structures and areas of activity to the same extent as are the rights for twenty-year-olds in the rest of the population. This communication broadly follows proposals from the Delegation for Roma Issues in its report ‘Roma rights — a strategy for Roma in Sweden’ (SOU 2010:55), and is therefore also based on various rights laid down in international agreements on human rights, i.e.

  • Planning Support for Reducing Risks Related to Flooding a Case Study of Flood Response in Kista Residential Area and Igelbäcken Stream, Sweden
    EXAMENSARBETE INOM ENERGI OCH MILJÖ, AVANCERAD NIVÅ, 30 HP STOCKHOLM, SVERIGE 2017 Planning support for reducing risks related to flooding A case study of flood response in Kista residential area and Igelbäcken stream, Sweden KAJSA LUNDGREN KTH SKOLAN FÖR ARKITEKTUR OCH SAMHÄLLSBYGGNAD Planning support for reducing risks related to flooding: A case study of flood response in Kista residential area and Igelbäcken stream, Sweden KAJSA LUNDGREN TRITA-LWR Degree Project ISSN 1651-064X LWR-EX 2017:13 Abstract Flooding has been identified as the most widespread and most frequently occurring natural disaster by the United Nation. Sweden is no exception when it comes to being affected by flooding, and several major flood events have been seen in recent years. The Swedish National Board of Building, Housing and Planning published a report on climate adaption in 2010 where they stated that Sweden is missing over all strategies and goals meet the demands of more frequent and intense rain events. Present thesis aimed to develop planning support for integration of hydrological perspectives in urban planning to manage water related risks such as flooding and high water levels. This was done through hydrodynamic modelling in MIKE FLOOD, developed by the DHI, where a 1D stream model was coupled with a 2D free-surface flow model. The model was run for three different scenarios reflecting current conditions (Scenario 1), climate change (Scenario 2) and land use change (Scenario 3). The study area chosen for present study was Kista residential area, located northwest of Stockholm, and part of Igelbäcken stream that runs by Kista. Igelbäcken stream was represented by a 1D stream model in the software MIKE 11 provided by DHI and Järfälla municipality, whereas a 2D model in MIKE 21 for Kista and the stream surroundings was setup throughout the project.
