This report presents the activities by RIVM and CPB in the NRP project "Economic Impacts of GHG Stabilization Scenarios and regional differentiation of targets based on burden sharing rules".
This report presents an overview of the major findings of the joint CICERO-ECN project on the issue of differentiation of greenhouse gas emission mitigation targets among countries after the so-called…
CO2-reduction in new housing estates: a workshop as a building block
The issue of climate change and related to that reduction of CO 2 emissions has gained a prominent place on the agenda of environmental policymakers. The project 'From Greenhouse to Green Housing'…
In this study an international inventory is made of the emission reduction technologies and potentials for Non-CO2 Greenhouse Gases (NCGGs) in such a way that they can be used for policy formulation…
Effect of climate change on the hydrology of the river Meuse
This study describes historical observations and future estimates of the discharge regime of the river Meuse, with reference to climate change. It specially deals with low flows and integrates results…
Integrated assessment of vulnerability to climate change and adaptation options in the Netherlands
In recent decades, it has become increasingly clear that the global climate is becoming warmer and that regional climates are changing. This report summarizes the results of an integrated assessment…
Research on a mechanism by which enhanced UV-radiation of the active sun affects weather and climate
The aim of this study was to investigate the degree of climate response to changes in the UV radiation of the active sun during the 11- year solar cycle, and to examine the physical mechanisms…
Impact of climate change on water availability, agriculture and food security in semi-arid regions, with special focus on West Africa
The research effort started with a geographical inventory of all tropical and sub-tropical drylands to map the diversity in aridity, land degradation, population densities and urbanisation of the…
Sources, Regional Scaling and Validation of Methane Emissions from the Netherlands and Northwest Europe
The agreed emission reductions in the Kyoto Protocol require methods to establish the quality and accuracy of the inventory data and to monitor compliance with the Protocol. The IPCC Expert Meeting in…
