Model projections for household energy use in India
Energy use in developing countries is heterogeneous across households. Present day global energy models are mostly too aggregate to account for this heterogeneity. Here, a bottom-up model for…
Special issue of Climatic Change journal on the RCP released
A new Special issue of the journal Climatic Change describes four new key scenarios for the climate research community: the Representative Concentration Pathway (RCPs). The RCPs describe a wide range…
Klimaatveranderingen maken Nederland meer kwetsbaar voor overstromingen, wateroverlast, droogte en hitte. Het versterken van de dijken tot zogeheten doorbraakvrije dijken kan het overstromingsrisico…
An evaluation of the global potential of bioenergy production on degraded lands
In this article the global potential of energy crop production on degraded lands was estimated using detailed, spatially explicit data about the area, type and extent of degradation derived from the…
Effecten van het kabinetsbeleid voor milieu en klimaat, verkenning voor de Motie-Halsema
De beleidswijzigingen die het kabinet Rutte heeft aangekondigd voor milieu en klimaat wijzen niet allemaal in dezelfde richting. Het kabinet geeft een stevige impuls voor hernieuwbare energie waardoor…
Global projections for anthropogenic reactive nitrogen emissions to the atmosphere: an assessment of scenarios in the scientific literature
Most long-term scenarios of global reactive nitrogen (Nr) emissions to the atmosphere are produced by Integrated Assessment Models in the context of climate change assessments. These scenarios…
Exploring the bargaining space within international climate negotiations based on political, economic and environmental considerations
This study provides a conceptual framework for exploring the bargaining space within international climate negotiations based on important economic, political and environmental considerations.
Welke veestapel past in Nederland? Inbreng voor de maatschappelijke discussie over begrenzing en sturing van de omvang van de veestapel
Een grotere veestapel zonder extra maatregelen leidt tot meer milieueffecten en grotere risico's voor de volksgezondheid. Welke omvang en structuur van de veestapel past, is niet te zeggen, maar…
Evolution of anthropogenic and biomass burning emissions of air pollutants at global and regional scales during the 1980–2010 period
Several different inventories of global and regional anthropogenic and biomass burning emissions are assessed for the 1980–2010 period. The species considered in this study are carbon monoxide…
RCP2.6: exploring the possibility to keep global mean temperature increase below 2°C
The RCP2.6 emission and concentration pathway is representative of the literature on mitigation scenarios aiming to limit the increase of global mean temperature to 2°C. These scenarios form the low…
