Utforskning av problemområdet med att implementera ett Cap & Trade system i en flygintensiv akademisk institution (Swedish)
Abstract [en]

Flying can constitute as much as a third of an academic institution’s total emissions and there’s a growing concern among researchers around their academic travel contributing to global warming. This paper is part of KTH FLIGHT, a research project for decreased CO2-emissions in flight-intensive organizations through creation and testing of practical tools. It is a Research through Design work that provides new knowledge about a previously largely unexplored implementation area of emission trading systems like Cap and Trade. These have previously helped reduce emissions at lower costs than tax based systems in various settings but little research exists in terms of design and important factors for a university to promote more sustainable travel patterns. This paper reveals challenges and opportunities regarding implementation and shows current feasibility in implementing in a Swedish university (KTH), and provides suggestions for choosing suitable users and direction of future research.

Abstract [sv]

Flygresor kan utgöra upp till en tredjedel av en akademisk institutions totala utsläpp och det finns en växande oro bland forskare kring att deras resande bidrar till den globala uppvärmningen. Denna rapport är en del av KTH FLIGHT, ett forskningsprojekt med syfte att minska CO2 -utsläpp i flygintensiva organisationer genom att skapa och testa praktiska verktyg. Detta är ett Research through Design-arbete som bidrar med ny kunskap om ett tidigare till stor del outforskat område för implementeringar av utsläppshandelssystem såsom Cap and Trade. Dessa har i olika sammanhang tidigare bidragit till minskade utsläpp med lägre kostnader än skattebaserade system. Men i dagsläget finns det lite forskning gällande dess design och viktiga faktorer för att främja mer hållbara resvanor på ett universitet. Denna uppsats visar på utmaningar och möjligheter vid en implementering och visar aktuell genomförbarhet i ett svenskt universitet (KTH), samt ger förslag på val av lämpliga användare samt inriktning för framtida forskning.
