Finding a new house is a crucial but challenging undertaking for migrant workers. This article presents a longitudinal perspective on the housing trajectories of EU labour migrants in the Netherlands…
The decarbonisation of shipping has become an important policy goal. While integrated assessment models (IAMs) are often used to explore climate mitigation strategies, they typically provide little…
Limited consumer willingness diminishes the potential environmental gains of dietary change
A collaborative study between researchers from the Institute of Environmental Science of Leiden University (CML) and the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency (PBL) sought to understand how…
Trends and geographic variation in adverse impacts of nitrogen use in Europe on human health, climate, and ecosystems: A review
This study assesses the effects of reactive nitrogen (N) pollution on human health, climate, and ecosystems in Europe from 1990 to 2019. It reports temporal and spatial variation in nitrogen-related…
Increased policy ambition is needed to avoid the effects of climate change and reach carbon removal targets in Portugal
The Paris Agreement’s goal of limiting global warming hinges on forest carbon sequestration as a key in several national strategies. However, Portugal’s rising forest fire occurrences threaten its…
Climate policy and the SDGs agenda: How does near-term action on nexus SDGs influence the achievement of long-term climate goals?
The sustainable development goals (SDGs) represent the global ambition to accelerate sustainable development. Several SDGs are directly related to climate change and policies aiming to mitigate it…
Decarbonising the cement industry: Findings from coupling prospective life cycle assessment of clinker with integrated assessment model scenarios
In the race to achieve global climate neutrality, carbon intensive industries like the clinker and cement industry are required to decarbonise rapidly. The environmental impacts related to potential…
Comparing the ambition of EU companies with science-based targets to EU regulation-imposed reductions
Companies can support governments in bridging the emissions gap between current policies and the Paris goals by adhering to voluntary greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction targets that align with or…
Risks associated with global warming of 1.5 to 4 °C above pre-industrial levels in human and natural systems in six countries
The Topical Collection “Accrual of Climate Change Risk in Six Vulnerable Countries” provides a harmonised assessment of risks to human and natural systems due to global warming of 1.5–4 °C in six…
Global regionalised characterisation factors for phosphorus and nitrogen impacts on freshwater fish biodiversity
Inefficient global nutrient (i.e., phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N)) management leads to an increase in nutrient delivery to freshwater and coastal ecosystems and induces eutrophication in these…
