Compilation of life cycle assessments of cultivated blue mussels : recalculation of the inventory assessments by Runesson, Elisabet

“…Life cycle assessment is a standardised method of calculating environmental impact. The goals of this thesis were to compile life cycle assessments about cultivated blue mussels through a literature review and to recalculate the carbon footprint and the marine eutrophication potential. …”

Consumer preferences for tofu characteristics in Sweden : a discrete choice experiment by Weigel, Mira Janna Doro

“…This is closely related to production systems and factory farming, which lead to high emissions and strain on planetary boundaries. Based on plant-based ingredients, meat substitutes are a healthy source of protein that offer a number of social, environmental and health benefits compared to meat and therefore play an important role in reducing the consumption of meat products. …”

Investment in project preventing deforestation of the Brazilian Amazonas by Hansson, Pär

“…The aim of this thesis is to create an understanding of the incentives for forest companies to invest in reducing carbon dioxide emissions from deforestation and forest degradation, which is termed REDD. …”

The future of the Estonian energy sector in relation to EU 2050 low carbon economy roadmap by Neeme, Maris

“…The European Union Roadmap for moving to a competitive low carbon economy by 2050 provides a policy framework for the member states in order to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions in Europe. Based on Hajer’s argumentative approach, this study focused on how the future of energy production is pictured in Estonia in relation to the long term energy and climate policies of the European Union. …”
