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…

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…

This paper examines job accessibility impacts of intensive and multiple land-use scenarios in the Netherlands’ Randstad Area for the period 1996–2030.

Rising concentrations of greenhouse gases may have more serious impact than previously believed, a major new scientific report commissioned by the UK government has said. It also finds deeper…

Climate change and its effects are observable also in the Netherlands. To date the effects are still limited in magnitude. This might change in the coming decades. Present trends in, for example, sea…

The costs of a climate policy strategy targeting all greenhouse gases are substantially lower than a stragery targeting energy-related CO 2 alone. This conclusion can be drawn from the results of the…

We present a comparison of trends in total column ozone from 10 two-dimensional and 4 three-dimensional models and solar backscatter ultraviolet–2 (SBUV/2) satellite observations from the period 1979…
