Land-use emissions play a critical role in land-based mitigation for Paris climate targets
Scenarios that limit global warming to below 2 °C by 2100 assume significant land-use change to support large-scale carbon dioxide (CO 2) removal from the atmosphere by afforestation/reforestation…
In the past decades, the relationship between water issues and conflict risks received much attention, both in the literature and the media. However, reports and publications warning about these…
Risk of increased food insecurity under stringent global climate change mitigation policy
Food insecurity can be directly exacerbated by climate change due to crop-production-related impacts of warmer and drier conditions that are expected in important agricultural regions. However…
Potentieel en kosten klimaatneutrale gebouwde omgeving in de gemeente Utrecht
Het PBL heeft een verkenning uitgevoerd naar de warmte- en koudevoorziening van de gebouwde omgeving in de gemeente Utrecht die zo snel mogelijk klimaatneutraal wil worden. Zowel het potentieel van…
Interaction of consumer preferences and climate policies in the global transition to low-carbon vehicles
Burgeoning demands for mobility and private vehicle ownership undermine global efforts to reduce energy-related greenhouse gas emissions. Advanced vehicles powered by low-carbon sources of electricity…
Simulating the deep decarbonisation of residential heating for limiting global warming to 1.5 °C
Whole-economy scenarios for limiting global warming to 1.5 °C suggest that direct carbon emissions in the buildings sector should decrease to almost zero by 2050, but leave unanswered the question how…
Ontwikkeling luchtvaart en CO2-emissies in Nederland
Luchtvaart beïnvloedt de opwarming van de aarde door de emissies die plaatsvinden hoog in de lucht. De CO 2-emissies van vliegtuigen die in Nederland hebben getankt zijn in 20 jaar met 33% gestegen…
Global energy sector emission reductions and bioenergy use: overview of the bioenergy demand phase of the EMF-33 model comparison
We present an overview of results from 11 integrated assessment models (IAMs) that participated in the 33 rd study of the Stanford Energy Modeling Forum (EMF-33) on the viability of large-scale…
Residual fossil CO2 emissions in 1.5–2 °C pathways
The Paris Agreement—which is aimed at holding global warming well below 2 °C while pursuing efforts to limit it below 1.5 °C—has initiated a bottom-up process of iteratively updating nationally…
De vervuiler betaalt te weinig, Een onderzoek naar milieubelastingen op grondstoffen, materialen en afval
Het beter beprijzen van milieuschade staat in Nederland al langer op de politieke agenda. Het doel van deze studie is om de nog onbeprijsde milieuschade van het gebruik van grondstoffen en materialen…
