Exploring the ancillary benefits of the Kyoto Protocol for air pollution in Europe
An integrated approach to climate change and regional air pollution can harvest considerable ancillary benefits in terms of environmental impacts and costs. This is because both problems are caused to…
Multi-Stage: A Rule-Based Evolution of Future Commitments under the Climate Change Convention
This article presents the regional emission targets corresponding to different climate regimes for differentiating commitments beyond 2012 on the basis of the Multi-Stage approach. This approach…
Multi-gas scenarios to stabilize radiative forcing
Using the results of a recent model comparison study performed by the Energy Modeling Forum, we have shown in this paper that including non-CO 2 gases in mitigation analysis is crucial in the…
Impacts of different climate stabilisation on plant species in Europe
With the use of goals from the Convention on Biological Diversity two climate stabilisation profiles are evaluated on their merits for conservation of biodiversity, comparing them with a baseline…
The Euro 5 proposal from the European Commission contains new emission requirements for passenger cars and light commercial vehicles. This means that new diesel vehicles in these categories will be…
In this study the potential and cost consequences to reduce Dutch greenhouse gas emissions in 2020 and the potential and costs of increasing rate of energy efficiency improvement between 2010 and 2020…
Comparing maps is an important issue in environmental research. There are many reasons to compare maps: (i) to detect temporal/spatial changes or hot-spots (ii) to compare different models…
Ex-post evaluation of thirty years of compact urban development in the Netherlands
Despite the wide array of academic research, the impacts of compact urban development are not very well understood. What is lacking are, firstly, the insights into how a region or country would have…
