Cross-border cooperation in the electricity sector - the Nordic exampleGlobal Utmaning
Ìý
The document discusses cross-border cooperation in the electricity sector through the Nordic example. It outlines the history of interconnections between Nordic countries dating back to 1963, which grew over time through the establishment of Nordel in 1992 to facilitate cooperation between transmission system operators. Nordel later joined ENTSO-E and helped coordinate the decarbonization of the power sector in the region through increasing renewable energy and electrification while maintaining a reliable grid through 2050. The context of cooperation has become more complex over time with new drivers like emissions pricing and public demand, as well as obstacles around political will, governance capacity, and handling interdependencies across borders.

Seminar: NORDIC ENERGY WAYS – WHAT‘S IN IT FOR US?

Anders Olsson, vice CEO E.ON Norden, presented the main conclusions of the report Nordic Energy Ways in Europe. Read the full report here: www.globalutmaning.se/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Nordic-Energy-Ways-in-Europe1.pdf
This document discusses the role of private debt and credit growth in economic stability. It argues that pre-crisis orthodoxy viewed low inflation as sufficient for stability, but private debt growth fueled asset price booms and recessions. Credit growth for real estate and existing assets does not directly stimulate GDP but can inflate prices. To promote stability, policy should constrain private leverage growth and the dominance of real estate lending through higher bank capital requirements and countercyclical policies.
Ulf Dahlsten gave a presentation at the Stockholm School of Economics on March 22nd, 2014 about combating debt addiction and stabilizing the financial system. He argued that more needs to be done as the system has issues like extreme pro-cyclicality, underestimating endogenous risks, excessive money creation, growing private debts, asset inflation, and complexity. He focused on these problems and asked questions about addressing excessive money creation, the danger of private debt buildup, curbing asset inflation without hurting the economy, and what central banks, regulators, and politicians can do to help.

The document defines a green economy as one that is low-carbon, resource-efficient, and socially inclusive according to the UNEP. It also includes a diagram showing the interdependencies between different levels of trust, politics, markets, resources, and social relations that are necessary for a sustainable green economy. Weaknesses in any of these areas can undermine the transition to a green economy.
Research questions for a green, inclusive economyGlobal Utmaning
Ìý
This document summarizes a presentation on research questions for a green, inclusive economy. The presentation covered three main topics:
1. Metrics - It discussed developing alternative metrics to GDP like national wealth accounts and a prosperity metric based on solving human problems.
2. Vision - It addressed the need for systems thinking and considering renewable vs. exhaustible natural resources.
3. Transition - Key research questions were presented around the politics and innovation required for an economic transition, including governance mechanisms, necessary institutions, and business models within planetary boundaries.
The presentation concluded by noting the career prospects for economists to work on these important transition questions and called for mutual understanding between disciplines.
A critical review and considerations: Green economy, what is it?Global Utmaning
Ìý
This document provides a summary and critique of a proposal to build models for a sustainable Germany by 2040. It notes that the proposal makes some good points but its economic understanding is still simplistic and it is insufficient in design and scope. The summary recommends using systems analysis throughout, integrated assessment modeling to analyze past data and scenarios, and involving experienced systems analysts. It concludes that the proposal has some blind spots and needs to better connect the whole system, address issues like population and trade, and engage policy/government to enable real paradigm shifts.
2. VAD DET HANDLAR OM

• små variationer mycket stora effekter
• informationstillgången mycket låg
• extremt ineffektivt sätt
• stora värden till spillo
7. HUR BLEV DET SÅ HÄR?

• den första industriella revolutionen
• den andra industriella revolutionen: explosionsmotorn, el-motorn,
billig energi och utbyggd infrastruktur
• ökad rörlighet
•
• Allt fler kom att resa allt längre med allt snabbare och mer
resurskrävande färdsätt till ett allt mer utspritt utbud
8. DEN TREJDE INSTRIELLA REVOLUTIONEN
• enorm decentralisering av digital och ständigt uppkopplad artificiell
intelligens
• inte tagits i anspråk.
