Climate and Energy Outlook of the Netherlands 2023
This annual outlook is published as required by the Dutch Climate Act and is regarded as one of the accountability instruments of Dutch climate and energy policy.
As global temperatures and greenhouse gas emissions break records, the latest Emissions Gap Report from the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) finds that current pledges under the Paris Agreement put the…
Greenhouse gas mitigation scenarios for major emitters
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…
Identifying energy model fingerprints in mitigation scenarios
Energy models are used to study emissions mitigation pathways, such as those compatible with the Paris Agreement goals. These models vary in structure, objectives, parameterisation, and level of…
Water quality footprint of agricultural emissions of nitrogen, phosphorus, and glyphosate associated with German bioeconomy
Fertiliser and pesticide application can cause extensive environmental damage. This study uses the water quality footprint to express nitrogen, phosphorus, and glyphosate emissions from agriculture in…
Policy Summary of The Geography of Future Water Challenges - Bending the Trend
Water is a critical resource, but our freshwater resources and water systems are under heavy pressure and hundreds of millions of people are at risk of having too little, too polluted, or too much…
Analysis of cost-effective reduction pathways for major emitting countries to achieve the Paris Agreement climate goal
This report presents cost-effective greenhouse gas emission reduction pathways for major emitting economies to keep global warming below 1.5 °C or well below 2 °C, as projected from least-cost…
Energy efficiency options in the Dutch manufacturing industry
This report on energy efficiency options in the Dutch industry is part of the MIDDEN project (Manufacturing Industry Decarbonisation Data Exchange Network) initiated by the Netherlands Environmental…
Energy planning in Sub-Saharan African countries needs to explicitly consider productive uses of electricity
Studies show the role of various electrification technologies in providing electricity access to households in Sub-Saharan Africa, with a focus on electricity demand for end-use services such as…
