Balance between climate change mitigation benefits and land use impacts of bioenergy: conservation implications for European birds
We assess projected range shifts of 156 European bird species by 2050 under two alternative climate change trajectories: a baseline scenario, where the global mean temperature increases by 4 °C by the…
Towards standardised evaluative measurement of nature impacts: two spatial planning case studies for major Dutch lakes.
In the assessment of complex spatial planning projects, ecological and socio-economic impacts are fundamental to the evaluation. The measurements of the ecological impacts of spatial plans have to be…
Lower meat and dairy consumption benefits climate and health
When all inhabitants of the European Union (EU) would consume half as much of meat, dairy and eggs as they do today, the EU would achieve a 40% reduction in nitrogen emissions, a 25% - 40% reduction…
The role of renewable energy in climate stabilization: results from the EMF27 scenarios
This paper uses the EMF27 scenarios to explore the role of renewable energy (RE) in climate change mitigation. Currently RE supplies almost 20 % of global electricity demand. Almost all EMF27…
Emissions of transboundary air pollutants in the Netherlands, 1990–2012: Netherlands Informative Inventory Report 2014
Emissions of nitrogen oxides (NO x), ammonia, sulphur dioxide and non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOC) in the Netherlands slightly decreased in 2012. As a result, emission levels stayed…
Impact of maritime transport emissions on coastal air quality in Europe
Shipping emissions are currently increasing and will most likely continue to do so in the future due to the increase of global-scale trade. Ship emissions have the potential to contribute to air…
This paper presents the results of an online stated choice experiment on the preference of Dutch private car owners for alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs) and their characteristics. Results show that…
Making or breaking climate targets: The AMPERE study on staged accession scenarios for climate policy
This study explores a situation of staged accession to a global climate policy regime from the current situation of regionally fragmented and moderate climate action. The analysis is based on…
Impact of fragmented emission reduction regimes on the energy market and on CO2-emissions related to land use
In recent years, an approach based on voluntary pledges by individual regions has attracted interest of policy-makers and consequently also climate policy research. In this paper, we analyze scenarios…
The emergence of a large variety of radically new vehicle technologies that depend on a physical infrastructure may hamper the diffusion of any one of those radically new vehicle technologies…
