Comparing three spatial modeling tools for assessing urban ecosystem services
Spatially explicit modeling is a key method to quantify ecosystem services in cities. We applied and compared three commonly used open-source ecosystem service modeling tools (InVEST, LUCI, Natural…
Is the effectiveness of policy-driven mitigation measures on carabid populations driven by landscape and farmland heterogeneity?
There is growing concern about the decrease of insect populations in agricultural landscapes. In this study, we aimed to assess the effectiveness of pesticide related measures and landscape related…
Beëindigen van veehouderijen: hoge verwachtingen haalbaar?
Politici en hun adviseurs hebben hoge verwachtingen van de bijdrage die het sluiten van veehouderijen zal leveren aan het halen van stikstofdoelen. Het besteden van de huidige budgetten zou tot…
The IPCC Sixth Assessment Report WGIII climate assessment of mitigation pathways: from emissions to global temperatures
While the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) physical science reports usually assess a handful of future scenarios, the Working Group III contribution on climate mitigation to the IPCC's…
A circular bioeconomy can dramatically rein in the fast-growing plastic sector’s climate, pollution, and resource consumption impacts. Under current policies, global plastic production will likely…
Climate change mitigation and SDGs: modelling the regional potential of promising mitigation measures and assessing their impact on other SDGs
Measures that aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions also have impacts on achieving other Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Given the enormous challenge of achieving the goals of the Paris…
Africa needs context-relevant evidence to shape its clean energy future
Aligning development and climate goals means Africa’s energy systems will be based on clean energy technologies in the long term, but pathways to get there are uncertain and vary across countries…
Stringente standaarden stimuleren innovatie in doorbraaktechnologieën
Standaarden voor energiezuinigheid en CO2-uitstoot in de auto-industrie blijken niet alleen een instrument om te sturen op lagere emissies, maar zijn ook een belangrijke aanjager van innovatie. Dat…
Determinants of the distribution of utility-scale photovoltaic power facilities across the globe
Photovoltaic power (PV) is the fastest-growing source of renewable electricity. Making reliable scenarios of PV deployment requires information on what drives the spatial distribution of PV facilities…
From planetary to regional boundaries for agricultural nitrogen pollution
Excessive agricultural nitrogen use causes environmental problems globally, to an extent that it has been suggested that a safe planetary boundary has been exceeded.
