De landbouw als diffuse bron van nutriënten en gewasbeschermingsmiddelen
50 jaar geleden trad de Wet verontreiniging oppervlaktewater in werking en 20 jaar geleden werd de Europese Kaderrichtlijn water van kracht. Voor het waterkwaliteitsbeheer in ons land zijn beide…
A framework for national scenarios with varying emission reductions
National-level climate actions will be vital in achieving global temperature goals in the coming decades. Near-term (2025–2030) plans are laid out in Nationally Determined Contributions; the next step…
Greenhouse gas emission scenarios in nine key non-G20 countries: an assessment of progress toward 2030 climate targets
This study compares greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions projections in 2030 under current policies and those under 2030 mitigation targets for nine key non-G20 countries, that collectively account for…
Integrated assessment model diagnostics: key indicators and model evolution
Integrated assessment models (IAMs) form a prime tool in informing about climate mitigation strategies. Diagnostic indicators that allow comparison across these models can help describe and explain…
On the optimality of 2°C targets and a decomposition of uncertainty
The overall target of climate policy and the timing of emission reductions are key policy issues. The high degree of uncertainty in key aspects, such as climate damage, mitigation costs and socio…
The role of regulatory, market and governance risk for electricity access investment in sub-Saharan Africa
Achieving universal electricity access in sub-Saharan Africa – a milestone of SDG 7 – requires about $30bn annually until 2030 on the top of baseline investment. The private sector plays a key role in…
Regional variation in the effectiveness of methane-based and land-based climate mitigation options
Scenarios avoiding global warming greater than 1.5 or 2 ∘ C, as stipulated in the Paris Agreement, may require the combined mitigation of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions alongside enhancing…
Het landelijk gebied staat weer prominent op de politieke agenda. Hoe zien de politieke ideeën over de toekomst van landbouw en natuur eruit? Wat zijn de consequenties voor het landelijk gebied als…
Critical adjustment of land mitigation pathways for assessing countries’ climate progress
Mitigation pathways by Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) describe future emissions that keep global warming below specific temperature limits and are compared with countries’ collective greenhouse…
Vergelijkbaarheid van methoden berekening CO2-emissies landgebruik
Beleidsmakers en wetenschappers gebruiken verschillende methoden bij het berekenen van de uitstoot van land-gerelateerde CO 2 -emissies. Dit kan leiden tot een groot effect op het veronderstelde…
