Spatial density and mix use in the Netherlands (RUDIFUN)

RUDIFUN data can be used by government authorities, spatial researchers, urban planners and urban designers to investigate the coherence between spatial density and the mixed use that blends…

Greenhouse Gas Emissions in the Netherlands 1990 - 2017

This report documents the submission of the Dutch annual greenhouse gas emission inventory for 2019, in accordance with the guidelines provided by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate…

Making the Paris agreement climate targets consistent with food security objectives

Climate change mitigation is crucial to limit detrimental impacts of climate change on food production. However, cost-optimal mitigation pathways consistent with the Paris agreement project large…

Global emissions pathways under different socioeconomic scenarios for use in CMIP6: a dataset of harmonized emissions trajectories through the end of the century

We present a suite of nine scenarios of future emissions trajectories of anthropogenic sources, a key deliverable of the ScenarioMIP experiment within CMIP6. Integrated assessment model results for 14…

Multi-dimensional Scenario Making. Four futures to help policy makers embrace uncertainty in the fields of urbanisation and transport in the Netherlands

In the fields of urban development, infrastructure and transport, strategic policy makers and long-term planners face many uncertainties with regard to the future. To help strategic policy makers deal…

Model-based assessments for long-term climate strategies

Many countries are formulating a long-term climate strategy to be submitted to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change by 2020. Model-based, multi-disciplinary assessments can be a…

Towards Universal Access to Clean Cooking Solutions in Sub-Saharan Africa

A transition away from the use of fuelwood and charcoal for cooking can prevent hundreds of thousands of premature deaths caused by household air pollution. This study explores various policy options…

Identifying the drivers for succesful implementation of the Birds and Habitats Directives

There are a large number of factors that drive the success of conservation measures for habitats and species. PBL has contributed to a study to assess these drivers. The legitimate status that…

First forcing estimates from the future CMIP6 scenarios of anthropogenic aerosol optical properties and an associated Twomey effect

We present the first forcing interpretation of the future anthropogenic aerosol scenarios of CMIP6 with the simple plumes parameterisation MACv2-SP. The nine scenarios for 2015 to 2100 are based on…

Implementation of EU water policies benefits from synergies within the nexus between water, energy, land, food and climate

At the European Union level, there is a strong policy coherence between water policies and those on land, agriculture, energy and climate. More advantage could be taken of synergies between these…
