The Kamchay Hydropower Project -Hydropower development in Cambodia an... 
Malmquist, Peter; Sigfridsson, Mats : Malmö högskola/Teknik och samhälle (2003) bachelor
STUDENT ESSAY
English abstract: The objective in this case study is to highlight typical problems of a planned hydropower dam project in Bokor National Park, Cambodia. The focal point in the line of questioning is the usage of public participation in larger exploration plans in a development country and to give a comprehensive survey of some of the participant involved. The study also discusses how the WCD report is used by non-govemental organisation to validate their claims. To be able to understand how the Cambodian society works, the study also includes a short briefing of recent Cambodian history. The study shows that the local people are more or less neglected in the preliminary investigations. Even if information meetings are held open, they are conducted in such a way that it is hard for common people to participate. The meetings are held in English and not in the domestic language Khmer. Critical groups are not formally invited but welcome to attend, most of their statements are withdrawn from the official protocols. The study also reveals that the leading entrepreneurs more or less neglects the environmental hazards in the construction by focus their information and calculations on the positive effects of the project. The study has been made as a field study, on location in Cambodia.

Handel med utsläppsrätter inom EU - Möjlighet eller papperstiger
de Lima Apgaua, Helcio : Malmö högskola/Teknik och samhälle (2004) bachelor
STUDENT ESSAY
English abstract: Examensarbetet i miljövetenskap undersöks EG-direktivet angående ett administrativt system för handel med utsläppsrätter. Direktivet skall ses som ett instrument för att genomföra de åtaganden EU och dess medlemsländer har genom Kyotoavtalet 1997 och det protokoll som då lades fram. De flexibla mekanismerna i protokollet är olika verktyg för att minska de klimatförändringar som uppstår från antropogena källor, handel med utsläppsrätter är en av dessa mekanismer. Genom att intervjua olika experter inom området kommer resultatet att bestå i en analys av möjligheter och problemområden i en implementeringsprocess. De olika perspektiv som gås igenom är tekniskt, politiskt/praktiskt, ekonomiskt, juridiskt naturvetenskapligt och statvetenskapligt. Kritik mot direktivet förs fram och potentiella svagheter i systemet lyfts fram. Vikten av att skapa trovärdighet och transparens i ett system för handel med utsläppsrätter för att kunna konstruera ett fungerande instrument framkommer. Analysen visar att växthusproblematiken kan lösas genom en kombination av verktyg som lagstiftning, ekonomiska incitament och politik. För att få ett fungerande system och optimera resultatet, det vill säga att minska koldioxidutsläppen, krävs att systemet uppfattas ha en hög validitet i systemet och dess mekanismer. Det är viktigt att få en fungerande mekanism för att ta itu med ett allvarligt globalt miljöproblem. Swedish abstract: This study in Environmental Science examines the amendment of the EU-Directive on. Greenhouse gas emission allowance trading. The Directive is to be considered as a tool for fulfilling the obligations that the Union and its member countries have taken on through the 1997 Kyoto agreement together with the protocols proposed at that time. The flexible mechanisms of the protocol are intended as instruments for limiting the climatic changes arising from anthropogenic sources, emission allowance trading being one of these mechanisms. The results presented here consist primarily of an analysis of interviews with various experts in the field of emission control concerning the possibilities and problems attending the process of implementation. Different technical, economic, legal, political and natural scientific problems are addressed. Critique is levelled against the EU-Directive, and possible weaknesses in the system are discussed. The importance of creating credibility and transparency in a system for Greenhouse gas emission allowance trading is proposed, with the intention of constructing a functional tool for this purpose. According to the analysis presented in this study the problem of Greenhouse gas emission can be solved by combining tools such as law enforcement, economic incitements and politics. In order to obtain a functional system that produces an optimal result, i.e. a reduction in carbon dioxide emission, it is necessary that the system is seen to have a high validity. It is important to achieve a functional mechanism that will enable us to solve an acute, global environmental problem.
