Prospects for Mainstreaming Ecosystem Goods and Services in International Policies
This study shows how local delivery of ecosystem goods and services (EGS) is closely linked to international policies on development cooperation, trade, climate change and reform of international…
Phosphorus demand for the 1970–2100 period: A scenario analysis of resource depletion
The phosphorus (P) cycle has been significantly altered by human activities. For this paper, we explored the sustainability of current P flows in terms of resource depletion and the ultimate fate of…
Workshop measurements and modelling of PM2.5 in Europe Overview and Proceedings
The report gives an overview and proceedings of the 2009 workshop on PM 2.5 organized by the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency (PBL) in cooperation with TNO. The aim of this workshop was…
Exploring IMAGE model scenarios that keep greenhouse gas radiative forcing below 3 W/m2 in 2100
A high probability of limiting temperature increase to 2 °C requires a radiative forcing below 3 W/m², around the end of this century, according to current knowledge. This paper identifies conditions…
Global Nutrient Export from WaterSheds 2 (NEWS 2): Model development and implementation
NEWS 2 can be used as an effective tool to examine the impact of polices to reduce coastal eutrophication at regional to global scales. Continued enhancements will focus on the incorporation of other…
Netherlands in the Future. Second Sustainability Outlook, the physical living environment in the Netherlands
The Netherlands has to fit all of its housing, employment and transport onto a relative small land surface area, while maintaining the quality of the living environment and the landscape. The way to…
Contribution of secondary inorganic aerosols to PM10 and PM2.5 in the Netherlands; measurements and modelling results
Emissions of sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and ammonia are mainly from anthropogenic origin: traffic, energy production and agriculture. It was found that contributions to particulate matter from…
Dealing with surplus emissions in the climate negotiations after Copenhagen: What are the options for compromise?
Our analysis suggests that maximal revenues for surplus-holding countries arise by releasing only a limited amount of surplus credits to the market. The institutionalisation of this effect could be a…
Assessing an IPCC assessment. An analysis of statements on projected regional impacts in the 2007 report
PBL Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency has found no errors that would undermine the main conclusions in the 2007 report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) on possible…
Despite the continued economic crisis, global emissions of carbon dioxide, the main greenhouse gas, have remained constant in 2009, as strong increases in CO 2 emissions from fast-growing developing…
