Bioenergy technologies in long-run climate change mitigation: results from the EMF-33 study
Bioenergy is expected to play an important role in long-run climate change mitigation strategies as highlighted by many integrated assessment model (IAM) scenarios. These scenarios, however, also show…
Comparing transformation pathways across major economies
This paper explores the consequences of different policy assumptions and the derivation of globally consistent, national low-carbon development pathways for the seven largest greenhouse gas (GHG)…
Integrated Climate-Change Assessment Scenarios and Carbon Dioxide Removal
To halt climate change this century, we must reduce carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions from human activities to net zero. Any emission sources, such as in the energy or land-use sectors, must be balanced…
Naar aanleiding van de motie Geurts/Harbers heeft het ministerie van LNV het Planbureau voor de Leefomgeving verzocht om de effecten van een beperking van het ruw-eiwitgehalte in krachtvoer voor…
EMF-33 insights on bioenergy with carbon capture and storage
This paper explores the potential role of bioenergy coupled to carbon dioxide (CO 2) capture and storage (BECCS) in long-term global scenarios. We first validate past insights regarding the potential…
Transparantie en verantwoording grote bedrijven over klimaat onder de maat
Veel grote ondernemingen besteden in hun publieke jaarverslagen aandacht aan klimaatverandering, bijvoorbeeld over hun bijdrage aan broeikasgasemissies. Slechts weinige maken duidelijk hoe ze met de…
The shared socio-economic pathway (SSP) greenhouse gas concentrations and their extensions to 2500
Anthropogenic increases in atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations are the main driver of current and future climate change. The integrated assessment community has quantified anthropogenic…
Are scenario projections overly optimistic about future yield progress?
Historical increases in agricultural production were achieved predominantly by large increases in agricultural productivity. Intensification of crop and livestock production also plays a key role in…
Keeping global environmental assessments fit for purpose
Global environmental assessments play an important role in environmental governance. They provide insights in causes and consequences of environmental change, as well as possible solutions, by…
