CO2 emissions from fuel combustion Part III: Total Greenhouse Gas Emissions; 2017 Edition
CO 2 emissions from fuel combustion represent the majority of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. To complement work regarding the emissions of CO 2 from fuel combustion, the International Energy…
Modelling social influence and cultural variation in global low-carbon vehicle transitions
We present a unique and transparent approach for incorporating social influence effects into global integrated assessment models used to analyse climate change mitigation. We draw conceptually on…
Low-carbon strategies towards 2050: Comparing ex-ante policy evaluation studies and national planning processes in Europe
The European Union (EU) is committed to reducing its greenhouse gas (GHG) emission levels by 80%–95% in 2050 compared to 1990 levels. Various approaches have been developed to secure and evaluate the…

This report was commissioned to gather comprehensive information on, and to provide systematic analysis of the latest available scientific research and the latest available scientific evidence on…
The claim by Edward Glaeser and others that cities make us greener has been verified for the Netherlands, based on empirical data available on a detailed level. When considering ‘greener’ to mean…
Trends in global CO2 and total greenhouse gas emissions: Summary of the 2017 report
CO 2 emissions and total global greenhouse gas emissions are reported for 2016, based on the latest update of the EDGAR v4.3.2 database, using statistics, where available, up to and including 2016…
The Land-Water-Energy Nexus - Biophysical and Economic Consequences
This report presents the first comprehensive assessment of the global consequences of the land-water-energy nexus in the coming decades. It provides a global outlook to 2060 for the major impacts of…
Actors, Decision-Making, and Institutions in Quantitative System Modelling
Increasing the realism with respect to the representation of actors, decision-making, and institutions is critical to better understand the transition towards a low-carbon sustainable society since…
High-resolution assessment of global technical and economic hydropower potential
Hydropower is the most important renewable energy source to date, providing over 72% of all renewable electricity globally. Yet, only limited information is available on the global potential supply of…
Per-capita estimations of long-term historical land use and the consequences for global change research
Changes in land use and land cover are important in global climate change, but the many uncertainties in historical estimates seriously hamper climate modelling. We collected new data on estimated per…
