Inland Waters Increasingly Produce and Emit Nitrous Oxide
Nitrous oxide (N 2O) is a long-lived greenhouse gas and currently contributes ∼10% to global greenhouse warming. Studies have suggested that inland waters are a large and growing global N 2O source…
Abating ammonia is more cost-effective than nitrogen oxides for global mitigation of particulate matter air pollution
Worldwide, more than 4 million people die prematurely every year due to ambient air pollution. This is more than from malnutrition or overweight. Particulate matter (PM2.5, particles smaller than 2.5…
Lignite effects on NH3, N2O, CO2 and CH4 emissions during composting of manure
Lignite effects on gaseous emissions during composting of manure were examined. Lignite amended manure decreased NH3 emission by 54% during composting process. CO2−emission from lignite treated manure…
Emissions: world has four times the work or one-third of the time
New synthesis shows what a wasted decade means for the climate pact made in Paris. New research shows that nations must now do much more and much faster to limit global warming to well below 2 °C, let…
Assessment of Sectoral Greenhouse Gas Emission Reduction Potentials for 2030
The aim of this article is to provide an overview of greenhouse gas emission reduction potentials for 2030 based on the assessment of detailed sectoral studies. The overview updates a previous…
A framework for nitrogen futures in the shared socioeconomic pathways
Humanity's transformation of the nitrogen cycle has major consequences for ecosystems, climate and human health, making it one of the key environmental issues. Understanding how trends could evolve…
Effects of European emission reductions on air quality in the Netherlands and the associated health effects
Since the 1970s, European policies to improve air quality have resulted in fewer air polluting emissions, in many countries. As a result, levels of ambient concentrations of particulate matter and…
Analysing group contract design using a threshold public goods experiment
This paper presents the results of a threshold public goods game experiment with heterogeneous players. The experiment is designed in close collaboration with the Dutch association of agri…
Capacity vs energy subsidies for promoting renewable investment: Benefits and costs for the EU power market
Policy makers across Europe have implemented renewable support policies with several policy objectives in mind. Among these are achieving ambitious renewable energy targets at the lowest cost…
Reconciling global sustainability targets and local action for food production and climate change mitigation
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) imply country-led implementation. Yet, their achievement depends on sustainability targets compatible across different sectors and scales. Our study examines…
