Global Challenges for Nitrogen Science-Policy Interactions: Towards the International Nitrogen Management System (INMS) and Improved Coordination Between Multi-lateral Environmental Agreements
In this paper, we describe how a coherent system for science evidence provision is being developed to support policy development through the ‘International Nitrogen Management System’ (INMS).
The INI European Regional Nitrogen Centre: Concepts and Vision
In the global setting of the International Nitrogen Initiative (INI), the European Centre facilitates enhanced cooperation and integration among European researchers, policy makers and practitioners…
Guidelines for Modeling and Reporting Health Effects of Climate Change Mitigation Actions
Modeling suggests that climate change mitigation actions can have substantial human health benefits that accrue quickly and locally. Documenting the benefits can help drive more ambitious and health…
Harmonization of global land use change and management for the period 850–2100 (LUH2) for CMIP6
Human land use activities have resulted in large changes to the biogeochemical and biophysical properties of the Earth's surface, with consequences for climate and other ecosystem services. In the…
Policy coherence recommendations to the European Green Deal
Implementation of the European Green Deal ‘will require intense coordination to exploit the available synergies across all political areas’. A nexus analysis that assesses potential synergies and…
Anticipating futures through models: the rise of Integrated Assessment Modelling in the climate science-policy interface since 1970
Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) have gained a prominent role in the climate science-policy interface. The article reconstructs the evolution of IAMs and their changing role in this interface…
Variability in historical emissions trends suggests a need for a wide range of global scenarios and regional analyses
Long-term developments in carbon dioxide emissions have tracked the middle of projected emission scenario ranges over the past three decades. If this tendency continues, it seems increasingly less…
Decarbonising the critical sectors of aviation, shipping, road freight and industry to limit warming to 1.5–2°C
Limiting warming to well below 2°C requires rapid and complete decarbonisation of energy systems. We compare economy-wide modelling of 1.5°C and 2°C scenarios with sector-focused analyses of four…
The Implications of Brexit for UK and EU Regional Competitiveness
At the end of 2020, the United Kingdom will leave the European Union (Brexit). This will have certain major and different impacts on the competitive position of Dutch provinces and economic sectors…
Contextualizing local landscape initiatives in global change: A scenario study for the High Forest Zone, Ghana
Integrated landscape management (ILM) is increasingly considered as an approach to reconcile multiple, often conflicting, demands on a landscape scale. This research compared two sustainability…
