The paper sets out a proposal for bridging and linking three approaches to the analysis of transitions to sustainable and low-carbon societies: quantitative systems modelling; socio-technical…
Assessing the returns to water harvesting: A meta-analysis
This study presents the results of a meta-analysis of the peer reviewed literature on water harvesting technologies, with a focus on the crop yield impacts of water harvesting in semi-arid Africa and…
Integrating Global Climate Change Mitigation Goals with Other Sustainability Objectives: A Synthesis
Achieving a truly sustainable energy transition requires progress across multiple dimensions beyond climate change mitigation goals. This article reviews and synthesizes results from disparate strands…
Long-term water demand for electricity, industry and households
Better water demand projections are needed in order to better assess water scarcity. The focus in this paper is on non-agricultural water demand, as this is the fastest-growing and least well-modelled…
Public private partnerships in development cooperation - Potential and pitfalls for inclusive green growth
Public–private partnerships have become increasingly popular in global and Dutch development cooperation. This study assesses the potential contribution of partnerships to Inclusive Green Growth…
How well do integrated assessment models represent non-CO2 radiative forcing?
This study aims to create insight in how Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) perform in describing the climate forcing by non-CO 2 gases and aerosols. The simple climate models (SCMs) included in IAMs…
Exploring the implications of lifestyle change in 2°C mitigation scenarios using the IMAGE integrated assessment model
Most model studies focus on technical solutions in order to meet the 2°C climate target, such as renewable, carbon capture and energy efficiency technologies. Such studies show that it becomes…
Towards a landscape scale management of pesticides: ERA using changes in modelled occupancy and abundance to assess long-term population impacts of pesticides
Pesticides are regulated in Europe and this process includes an environmental risk assessment (ERA) for non-target arthropods such as beetles. Traditionally a non-spatial or field trial assessment is…
Aligning corporate greenhouse-gas emissions targets with climate goals
Corporate climate action is increasingly considered important in driving the transition towards a low-carbon economy. For this, it is critical to ensure translation of global goals to greenhouse-gas…
Towards a framework to assess, compare and develop monitoring and evaluation of climate change adaptation in Europe
Adaptation is increasingly recognised as essential when dealing with the adverse impacts of climate change on societies, economies and the environment. However, there is insufficient information about…
