GLOBIO 3: A Framework to investigate options for reducing global terrestrial biodiversity loss
With unchanged policies, terrestrial biodiversity will decrease between 2000 to 2050 at the same pace as during the last century. This was calculated with the GLOBIO 3 model, developed by PBL in…
In evaluaties van transportinvesteringen krijgen sociale effecten veel minder aandacht dan economische en milieu-effecten. In dit artikel is onderzocht welke sociale effecten in theorie kunnen…
Economic impacts of climatic variability and subsidies on European agriculture and observed adaptation strategies
In order to assess agricultural adaptation to climate impacts, new methodologies are needed. The translog distance function allows assessing interactions between different factors, and hence the…
Contribution of N2O to the greenhouse gas balance of first-generation biofuels
In this study, we analyze the impact of fertilizer- and manure-induced N 2 O emissions due to energy crop production on the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions when conventional transportation…
Reducing global meat consumption would reduce greenhouse gas emissions and cut the costs of climate policy substantially. This is the result of a PBL study published in Climatic Change. Apart from a…
Eerder dan andere regio’s in Nederland kreeg Parkstad Limburg te maken met krimp. Dit is inmiddels door beleidsmakers onderkend. Een concreet voorbeeld is het feit dat Parkstad Limburg zijn…
Vanaf de Tweede Wereldoorlog is het gemiddelde inkomen, de gezondheid en het opleidingsniveau in Nederland aanzienlijk toegenomen. Bovendien hebben Nederlanders een grote mate van vertrouwen in hun…
A stringent global climate policy will lead to considerable improvements in local air quality and consequently improves health. Measures to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases to 50% of 2005 levels…
Spatial aspects affecting acidification factors in European acidification modelling
Plain linear models have recently been used in methodologies to model fate and transport for assessing acidification in life cycle impact assessment (LCIA), or in support of air pollution abatement…
A very simple dynamic soil acidification model for scenario analyses and target load calculations
A very simple dynamic soil acidification model, VSD, is described, which has been developed as the simplest extension of steady-state models for critical load calculations and with an eye on regional…
