What do near-term observations tell us about long-term developments in greenhouse gas emissions
Long-term scenarios developed by integrated assessment models are used in climate research to provide an indication of plausible long-term emissions of greenhouse gases and other radiatively active…
Research priorities in land use and land-cover change for the Earth system and integrated assessment modelling
This special issue has highlighted recent and innovative methods and results that integrate observations and modelling analyses of regional to global aspect of biophysical and biogeochemical…
Water and nutrient fluxes from major Mediterranean and Black Sea rivers
Because of the ongoing evolution toward dryer and warmer conditions, we predict a significant trend of decreasing freshwater fluxes for the future, which already started in the past. Regional hot…
Application of the IPCC uncertainty methods to EDGAR 4.1 global greenhouse gas inventories
The global greenhouse gas emission inventory EDGAR 4.1 for the period 1970-2005 was developed using international statistics and default methods and default emission factors from the latest 2006 IPCC…
Breaking Boundaries for Biodiversity. Expanding the policy agenda to halt biodiversity loss.
De Nederlandse consumptie en export hebben invloed op de snelle achteruitgang van plant- en diersoorten en ecosystemen (biodiversiteit) in andere landen. Via handelsstromen komen deze producten, zoals…
Monitoring van emissies en acties in het post-2012 klimaatregime
Klimaatverandering is een probleem van collectief handelen: alleen wanneer alle belangrijke landen bijdragen aan reductie van broeikasgasemissies kan gevaarlijke invloed van de mens op het klimaat…
Breaking Boundaries for Biodiversity. Expanding the policy agenda to halt biodiversity loss.
The coming decade will be critical for slowing down the loss of biodiversity. The COP10 of the Convention on Biological Diversity discusses strategies for doing so in Nagoya, Japan from 18 to 29…
Monitoring emissions and actions in the post-2012 climate regime
Climate change is a collective action problem; only if all major emitting countries take sufficient mitigating actions, dangerous human interference with the climate system can be averted. In order to…
Towards a general relationship between climate change and biodiversity: An example for plant species in Europe
Climate change is one of the main factors that will affect biodiversity in the future and may even cause species extinctions. We suggest a methodology to derive a general relationship between…
Demografische krimp heeft gevolgen voor de regionale economie. In krimpregio's als Parkstad Limburg, de Eemsdelta en Zeeuws-Vlaanderen besteden overheden in hun economische beleid echter weinig…
