Op 22 maart vond het Minisymposium van het Energieonderzoek Centrum Nederland (ECN) en het Planbureau voor de Leefomgeving (PBL) over het Nederlandse energie en klimaatbeleid plaats met als titel ‘Hoe…
Anthropogenic and natural constituents in particulate matter in the Netherlands
To develop mitigation strategies for reducing concentrations of both PM 2.5 and PM 10 , the origin of particulate matter (PM) needs to be established. An intensive, one-year measurement campaign from…
The implications of climate policy for the impacts of climate change on global water resources
This paper assesses the implications of climate policy for exposure to water resources stresses. It compares a Reference scenario which leads to an increase in global mean temperature of 4 °C by the…
Climate change under aggressive mitigation: the ENSEMBLES multi-model experiment
This paper present results from multiple comprehensive models used to simulate an aggressive mitigation scenario based on detailed results of an Integrated Assessment Model. The experiment employs ten…
The Copenhagen Accord: abatement costs and carbon prices resulting from the submissions
As part of the Copenhagen Accord, individual countries have submitted greenhouse gas reduction proposals for the year 2020. This paper analyses the implications for emission reductions, the carbon…
Holocene carbon emissions as a result of anthropogenic land cover change
Humans have altered the Earth’s land surface since the Paleolithic mainly by clearing woody vegetation first to improve hunting and gathering opportunities, and later to provide agricultural cropland…
Verkeer en vervoer in de Referentieraming Energie en Emissies 2010-2020. Broeikasgassen en luchtverontreinigende stoffen
Door het Schoon en Zuinig-beleid dat het kabinet Balkenende IV in november 2007 invoerde, zal de door verkeer en vervoer veroorzaakte CO 2 -emissie in 2020 circa 3,5 megaton lager zijn dan zonder…
The use of scenarios as the basis for combined assessment of climate change mitigation and adaptation
Scenarios are used to explore the consequences of different adaptation and mitigation strategies under uncertainty. In this paper, two scenarios are used to explore developments with no mitigation…
Samenstelling en herkomst van fijn stof in Nederland
Fijn stof heeft een negatieve invloed op de gezondheid en speelt een belangrijke rol in klimaatverandering. Om effectief mitigatiebeleid te kunnen formuleren is het noodzakelijk om de relatie tussen…
The relationship between short-term emissions and long-term concentration targets
The relationship between long-term climate goals and short/medium-term emission targets forms crucial information for the design of international climate policy. Since IPCC’s 4th Assessment Report…
