Afforestation for climate change mitigation: Potentials, risks and trade‐offs
Afforestation is considered a cost‐effective and readily available climate change mitigation option. In recent studies afforestation is presented as a major solution to limit climate change. However…
Integrated Solutions for the Water-Energy-Land Nexus: Are Global Models Rising to the Challenge?
Increasing human demands for water, energy, food and materials, are expected to accentuate resource supply challenges over the coming decades. Experience suggests that long-term strategies for a…
Aquaculture production is a large, spatially concentrated source of nutrients in Chinese freshwater and coastal seas
This article presents a spatially explicit inventory of nutrient emissions from aquaculture to waterbodies for 2006 and 2017. Aquaculture production and nutrient excretion are now comparable to that…
Decarbonisation options for the Dutch salt industry
This report on decarbonisation options for the Dutch salt industry is part of the MIDDEN project (Manufacturing Industry Decarbonisation Data Exchange Network) initiated by PBL and ECN part of TNO…
The Paris Agreement introduced an ambitious goal of limiting warming to 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels. Here we combine a review of modelled pathways and literature on mitigation strategies, and…
Modeling forest plantations for carbon uptake with the LPJmL dynamic global vegetation model
We present an extension of the dynamic global vegetation model, Lund–Potsdam–Jena Managed Land (LPJmL), to simulate planted forests intended for carbon (C) sequestration. We implemented three…

Assessment of the investments by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) in innovation and human capital
This study is the first attempt at assessing the regional economic impacts of investments by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), using a spatially explicit macroeconomic model…
Modelling global material stocks and flows for residential and service sector buildings towards 2050
Residential buildings and service sector buildings have an important contribution to climate change, directly via energy use in these buildings and indirectly through construction activities and the…
