13. Fully Funded PhD Position in development of sustainability tools for infrastructure projects
Summary of PhD Program:
Climate action infrastructure projects (comprising mitigation and adaptation objectives) to achieve the Paris agreement have a wide range of synergies and trade-offs with the Sustainable Development Goals. However, stakeholders have limited access to the knowledge for mitigating those impacts, including on the impacts of relevant climate risks. This myopic approach means that siloed-planned climate action may cause a variety of detrimental tradeoffs, from social unrest or inequality to other environmental and economic issues. In response, KTH researchers have developed leading tools to assess the sustainability of infrastructure projects using detailed analysis of interlinkages between the characteristics of various types of energy and infrastructure projects and all social, economic and environmental targets of the SDGs.
