New Study For Climate Modeling, Analyses, and Scenarios
The European Commission is funding the ENSEMBLES project, which aims to provide policy makers with information from the latest climate modeling, analyses, and scenarios. Currently, the most…
Global scale DAYCENT model analysis of greenhouse gas emissions and mitigation strategies for cropped soils
Conversion of native vegetation to cropland and intensification of agriculture typically result in increased greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions (mainly N 2 O and CH 4 ) and more NO 3 leached below the…
Distributed electricity supply in the built environment. Evaluation of system innovation
Local sustainable electricity production technologies as well as technologies with high domestic electricity demand are generally expected to develop in the long run and largely affect the local…
Future oil price trends and volatility have a major impact on the economic attractiveness of distinct mitigation options and their mutual unit cost rankings. This report assesses the impact of…
Models in evolutionary economics and environmental policy
It is commonly recognized that environmental innovations provide an important key to sustainability. However, the two dominant approaches within environmental economics – neoclassical and ecological…
Introduction: evolutionary methodologies for analyzing environmental innovations and the implications for environmental policy
It is commonly recognized that environmental innovations provide an important key to sustainability. However, the two dominant approaches within environmental economics – neoclassical and ecological…
Likelihood of meeting the EU limit values for NO2 and PM10 concentrations in the Netherlands
In 2007, the European limit values for annual average NO 2 concentration and for daily average PM 10 concentration have been exceeded along motorways and city streets in the Netherlands. The total…
What would have happened to the ozone layer if chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) had not been regulated?
This study simulated the effects on the stratosphere of a steady growth of ozone depleting substances and compared those results to the normal expectations of the evolution of the stratosphere in the…
Study on the spatial variability of urban background PM10 and PM2.5 concentrations
Measurements have shown that the spatial variability of urban background concentrations of particulate matter (PM) was about the same as the measurements’ estimated inaccuracy. The differences were 10…
Steering local housing production: evaluating the performance of governance structures
This article presents an analytical framework that allows us to evaluate the performance of dynamic governance structures. In housing development processes, governance structures – markets…
