Renewing industrial regions? Advanced manufacturing and industrial policy in Britain
In many countries, industrial policy is back in vogue. One of these countries is the United Kingdom, where it is hoped that industrial policy can provide a further boost to advanced manufacturing…
New and updated Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) only take an additional 7.5% off projected 2030 emissions of greenhouse gases. The latest emission reduction pledges for 2030 would result in…
Global and regional aggregate damages associated with global warming of 1.5 to 4 °C above pre-industrial levels
We quantify global and regional aggregate damages from global warming of 1.5 to 4 °C above pre-industrial levels using a well-established integrated assessment model, PAGE09.
Trade-offs between water needs for food, utilities, and the environment - a nexus quantification at different scales
With a growing population and a changing climate, competition for water resources in the water-energy-food (WEF) nexus is expected to increase. In this study, competing water demands between food…
Land-based measures to mitigate climate change: Potential and feasibility by country
Land-based climate mitigation measures have gained significant attention and importance in public and private sector climate policies. Building on previous studies, we refine and update the mitigation…
The SSP (Shared Socio-economic Pathways) scenarios are intensively used in climate and environmental research to explore uncertain future developments and possible response strategies. This paper…
Greenhouse gas mitigation scenarios for major emitting countries
This report by NewClimate Institute, PBL Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency and the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) provides an overview of projected greenhouse…
The impact of land-use change emissions on the potential of bioenergy as climate change mitigation option for a Brazilian low-carbon energy system
Land-use change (LUC)-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions determine largely whether bioenergy is a suitable option for climate change mitigation. This study assesses how LUC emissions influence…
A review of studies assessing ecosystem services provided by urban green and blue infrastructure
Nature in cities is increasingly recognized for its potential to address urban sustainability challenges (e.g., climate change, public health issues). However, the knowledge base to actually quantify…
Short-to medium-run forecasting of mobility with dynamic linear models
This paper shows how short- to medium-term forecasts of mobility can be used to inform long-term projections based on annual data. This will be a challenging task for statistical offices generating…
