3. Lunds universitet / Fakultet / Institution / Enhet / Dokument / Datum Change is possible! Energy supply for the production of district heating between 1960-2007. (K. Ericsson)

4. Lunds universitet / Fakultet / Institution / Enhet / Dokument / Datum LETS Starting point: It is technically and economically possible to make the transition towards a low-carbon society. Now we must identify pathways to implementation. Aim: To identify, explore and suggest ways that Sweden can implement low-carbon energy and transport systems for 2050, in order to reach the ambitious climate policy objectives suggested by the 2°C target. Form: A multidisciplinary research program 2009-2012. Expected results: To produce new knowledge, but also to synthesize and interpret existing knowledge for more informed choices by decision makers, planners and other stakeholders.

WP1: Governance – Developing Institutions and Policy –What type of governance, in terms of institutions and policy, are needed? WP2: Urban and Regional Planning and Infrastructure –What tools, instruments and recommendations are necessary to (re)organize the built environment and transport system? WP3: Markets, Industry and Policy for Bioenergy –What are the sustainability challenges, commercial opportunities and policy options involved in governing the transition to increased use of bioenergy? WP4: Citizen-Consumers and Voluntary Instruments –What type of voluntary policy and planning instruments will contribute to behavioral change among citizen-consumers?
