Equity in allocating carbon dioxide removal quotas
Nature Climate Change, 2020Co-Authors: Carlos Pozo, Ángel Galán-martín, David Reiner, Niall Mac Dowell, Gonzalo Guillén-gosálbezAbstract:The first nationally determined contributions to the Paris Agreement include no mention of the carbon dioxide removal (CDR) necessary to reach the Paris targets, leaving open the question of how and by whom CDR will be delivered. Drawing on existing equity frameworks, we allocate CDR quotas globally according to Responsibility, Capability and Equality principles. These quotas are then assessed in the European Union context by accounting for domestic national capacity of a portfolio of CDR options, including bioenergy with carbon capture and storage, reforestation and direct air capture. We find that quotas vary greatly across principles, from 33 to 325 GtCO2 allocated to the European Union, and, due to biophysical limits, only a handful of countries could meet their quotas acting individually. These results support strengthening Cross-Border Cooperation while highlighting the need to urgently deploy CDR options to mitigate the risk of failing to meet the climate targets equitably. Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) will be necessary to meet climate targets. Applying equity principles to allocate national CDR quotas shows a large variation across countries and principles, while within the EU domestic biophysical limits constrain individual capacity to achieve them.

accessibility dynamics and regional cross border Cooperation cbc perspectives in the portuguese spanish borderland
Sustainability, 2020Co-Authors: Ana Vulevic, Rui Alexandre Castanho, Jose Manuel Naranjo Gomez, Luis Loures, Jose Cabezas, Luis Fernandezpozo, Jose Martin GallardoAbstract:Accessibility plays a major role in achieving sustainable transport, and therefore urban and regional sustainability. The urban public transport system promotes mobility and realizes a large part of urban movements. Moreover, improving accessibility in order to promote sustainable transport requires the application of new concepts and indicators as a powerful tool in the process of creating a balanced urban transport system. In this regard, one of the main goals of this research is to present an overview of the relevant accessibility indicators and assessment of accessibility in regional Cross-Border Cooperation (CBC) in order to transcendence challenges and obstacles for sustainable transportation in these regions along of Portuguese-Spanish border. This paper focuses on the accessibility of Cross-Border Cooperation scenarios along the border regions of Alto Alentejo (Portugal) and Badajoz (Spain) where the Case Study Research Method (CSR) made it possible to recognize accessibility as a key factor in territorial success. Also, accessibility analysis can assess improvements as well as regional imbalances. In addition, this methodology can be used to identify missing links, which requires new investments enabling long-term sustainability.

accessibility and connectivity movement between cities as a critical factor to achieve success on cross border Cooperation cbc projects a european analysis
Sustainable Cities and Society, 2017Co-Authors: Rui Alexandre Castanho, Ana Vulevic, Jose Manuel Naranjo Gomez, Luis Fernandezpozo, Jose Cabezas Fernandez, Luis LouresAbstract:Abstract Nowadays, Cross-Border Cooperation (CBC) is an undeniable reality in the space encompassed between European borders. This contributes to economical and social sustainable development, as well as to cohesion for trans boundary areas, which include administrative and territorial units from neighboring countries. A correct conceptual basis for the methodological approach to connectivity lies in the fact that the development of transportation systems, as integrated networks at different scales, is deeply changing their operation and the way they induce urban and regional development patterns. Overloaded transport corridors in the context of changing transportation flows are becoming an important issue for accessibility, impacting CBC indirectly, but harshly. Different modes of transport create different patterns of accessibility, with different influence in CBC accordingly. Throughout the present research, CBC European case studies, where connectivity-movement between cities, has been identified as a key factor for their territorial success, were assessed, described and analyzed. In the period of 2001–2006, improvements and further imbalances have occurred in accessibility development across regions and modes. Some signs indicate that the core-periphery pattern is slowly changing which leads towards an upgrade on the accessibility of places, regions and cities.
