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…
Analysis beyond IPCC AR5: Net Phase Out of Global and Regional Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Reduction Implications for 2030 and 2050
This Agreement for Climate Transformation 2015 (ACT 2015) factsheet provides a primer on the phase out of net global and regional greenhouse gas emissions and an analysis of the feasibility and…
The plan review. A new approach to discussing, assessing and improving urban projects in a changing planning practice
Ashgate has published the book Place-Based Evaluation for Integrated Land-Use Management (J. Woltjer, E. Alexander, A. Hull & M. Ruth (eds.)). This book brings together experts in the fields of…
Phosphorus budget in the water-agro-food system at nested scales in two contrasted regions of the world (ASEAN-8 and EU-27)
In this paper the P cycle in anthropic systems is analyzed with an original multiscale approach (world region, country, and large basin scales) in two contrasting world regions representative of…
Assessing current and future techno-economic potential of concentrated solar power and photovoltaic electricity generation
CSP and PV technologies represent energy sources with large potentials. We present cost-supply curves for both technologies using a consistent methodology for 26 regions, based on geoexplicit…
Simulation of the phenological development of wheat and maize at the global scale
The aim of this study is to derive location-specific parameters that reflect the geographic differences among cultivars in vernalization requirements, sensitivity to day length (photoperiod) and…
