Greenhouse gas emissions in the Netherlands 1990-2010: National Inventory Report 2012
In 2010, total greenhouse gas emissions in the Netherlands increased by approximately 6%, compared to the 2009 emission level. This increase mainly resulted from increased fuel combustion related to…
Land use impacts on biodiversity in LCA: a global approach
Land use is a main driver of global biodiversity loss and its environmental relevance is widely recognized in research on life cycle assessment (LCA). The inherent spatial heterogeneity of…
This study compares emission pathways aimed at limiting temperature increase to 2 degree Celsius (°C) under varying constraints. In a first set of pathways, the timing of emission reductions is such…
Rio+20 Policy Brief: An energy vision for a planet under pressure
Worldwide, global energy systems face an array of challenges, from access for the poor to reliability and security. Meanwhile, the provision of energy creates local human and ecological health impacts…
Performance differences and trade-offs in the provision of ecosystem goods and services
This paper approaches valuation of biodiversity and ecosystem services from a supply perspective utilizing the concept of trade-offs or opportunity costs. A new method is presented to provide spatial…
Footloose: An analysis of the drivers of firm relocations over various distances
This paper examines the differences in the drivers of short- and long-distance relocations of firms. It presents an event history analysis of a panel data set of Dutch firms. The findings indicate…
Preferences for alternative fuel vehicles of lease car drivers in The Netherlands
In this paper we aim to get insight into preferences of Dutch lease car drivers for alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs) and their characteristics. We perform a state-of-the-art conjoint analysis, based…
A choice experiment on afv preferences of private car owners in The Netherlands
In this paper we aim to get insight into preferences of Dutch private car owners for alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs) and their characteristics. We perform a state-of-the-art conjoint analysis, based…
Emission allowances and mitigation costs of China and India resulting from different effort-sharing approaches
To meet ambitious global climate targets, mitigation effort in China and India is necessary. This paper presents an analysis of the scientific literature on how effort-sharing approaches affect…
Regional feedbacks under changing climate and land-use conditions
Ecosystem responses to a changing climate and human-induced climate forcings (e.g. deforestation) might amplify (positive feedback) or dampen (negative feedback) the initial climate response…
