Country-dependent characterisation factor for acidification in Europe - a critical evaluation
Country-dependent characterisation factors for acidification have been derived for use in life cycle assessments to describe the effect on ecosystem protection of a change in national emissions. They…
Meeting the EU 2 degrees C climate target: global and regional emission implications
What global and regional emission reductions are needed to meet the EU 2°C climate target? Meeting the EU climate policy target with more than 50% certainty implies that greenhouse gas concentrations…
Reference projections energy and emissions 2005 - 2020
The Reference Projections 2005-2020 cover the future development of Dutch energy use, greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution up to 2020. The Reference projections are based on assumptions…
Financing Integrated Development and Climate Strategies
Climate Change is often seen as a threat to development. In the development and climate programme, the starting point is not climate but instead development priorities. The idea is that objectives of…
Greenhouse Gas Emissions in the Netherlands 1990-2003 - National Inventory Report 2005
The National Inventory Report ‘Greenhouse Gas Emissions in the Netherlands 1990-2003’ is now available. This report has been published at the request of the Dutch Ministry of Housing, Spatial Planning…
Biodiversity trends in Europe: development and testing of a species trend indicator for evaluating progress towards the 2010 target
This paper presents a trial of a species population trend indicator for evaluating progress towards the 2010 biodiversity target in Europe, using existing data.
Potential of biomass energy out to 2100, for four IPCC SRES land-use scenarios
The availability of the resources is an important factor for high shares of biomass to penetrate the electricity, heat or liquid fuel markets. We have analysed the geographical and technical potential…
Ecology: the convention on biological diversity's 2010 target
Governments are often accused of responding only to short-term and parochial considerations. It is therefore remarkable that representatives of 190 countries recently committed themselves at the…
Surface N balances and reactive N loss to the environment from global intensive agricultural production systems for the periode 1970-2030
The results indicate that the overall system N recovery and fertilizer use efficiency slowly increased in the industrialized countries between 1970 and 1995, the values for developing countries have…
The Netherlands is “well known” for its nitrogen problems; it has one of the highest reactive nitrogen (Nr) emission densities in the world. It is a small country at the delta of several large…
