Diagnostic indicators for integrated assessment models of climate policy
Integrated assessments of how climate policy interacts with energy-economy systems can be performed by a variety of models with different functional structures. In order to provide insights into why…
A New Toolkit for Developing Scenarios for Climate Change Research and Policy Analysis
The scientific community is developing a new set of scenarios for climate change research and policy analysis. These scenarios are placed in an overall framework that distinguishes different factors…
Multi-model comparison of the economic and energy implications for China and India in an international climate regime
This paper presents a modeling comparison on how stabilization of global climate change at about 2 °C above the pre-industrial level could affect economic and energy systems development in China and…
Uncertainty in Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) deployment projections: a cross-model comparison exercise
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) can be a valuable CO 2 mitigation option, but what role CCS will play in the future is uncertain. In this paper we analyze the results of different integrated…
Costs and effectiveness of on-farm measures to reduce aquatic risks from pesticides in the Netherlands
The European Union requires growers to implement the principles of integrated pest management (IPM) by 2014. This paper provides a quantitative overview of the costs and effectiveness of voluntary IPM…
Assessment of error and uncertainty is a vital component of both natural and social science. This edited volume presents case studies of research practices across a wide spectrum of scientific fields…
Climate policy through changing consumption choices: Options and obstacles for reducing greenhouse gas emissions
While national climate policy can address countries’ production or consumption, climate mitigation via changes in consumption has previously received relatively little attention in climate policy…
Aggregated indices for trends in eutrophication of different types of fresh water in the Netherlands
As in many European countries, eutrophication of surface waters is a key problem in the Netherlands, caused by high concentrations of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P). For implementation of the EU…
Will enclosed residential domains affect the public realm of Dutch cities?
In recent years, enclosed residential domains have emerged in Dutch housing developments. Commentators fear that enclosed residential domains will lead to a loss of the public realm. This article…
The role of technology for achieving climate policy objectives: overview of the EMF 27 study on global technology and climate policy strategies
This article presents the synthesis of results from the Stanford Energy Modeling Forum Study 27, an inter-comparison of 18 energy-economy and integrated assessment models. The study investigated the…
