Kan de circulaire economie een bijdrage leveren aan de energietransitie?
Deze notitie brengt in beeld in hoeverre de ambitie van de circulaire economie in Nederland een overlap heeft met de energietransitie, die nodig is om de doelen van het Klimaatakkoord van Parijs te…
Monitoring klimaatadaptatie in het stedelijke gebied. Quick scan van ervaringen elders in de wereld
Ter ondersteuning van het Deltaprogramma Ruimtelijke Adaptatie heeft het PBL verkend of in het buitenland systemen zijn ontwikkeld, die de voortgang en effect (output en outcome) monitoren van…
A methodology and implementation of automated emissions harmonization for use in Integrated Assessment Models
Emissions harmonization refers to the process used to match greenhouse gas (GHG) and air pollutant results from Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) against a common source of historical emissions. To…
This publication shows that, without improved water management or adaptation to climate change, the global sustainability goals cannot be achieved. The report highlights the urgent need for an…
Comparing future patterns of energy system change in 2 °C scenarios to expert projections
Integrated assessment models (IAMs) are computer-based instruments used to assess the implications of human activity on the human and earth system. They are simultaneously also used to explore…
In november 2017 heeft de tweede visitatie van het PBL plaatsgevonden, waarbij zowel de wetenschappelijke kwaliteit als de beleidsmatige relevantie van het werk van het PBL en de toekomstbestendigheid…
Alternative pathways to the 1.5 °C target reduce the need for negative emission technologies
Mitigation scenarios that achieve the ambitious targets included in the Paris Agreement typically rely on greenhouse gas emission reductions combined with net carbon dioxide removal (CDR) from the…
Vehicle emissions and impacts of taxes and incentives in the evolution of past emissions
The analysis presented in this report was framed around two key objectives. The first was to create an inventory of the different vehicle taxation and incentive schemes in place across Europe. The…
Evaluating EDGARv4.tox2 speciated mercury emissions ex-post scenarios and their impacts on modelled global and regional wet deposition patterns
Speciated mercury gridded emissions inventories together with chemical transport models and concentration measurements are essential when investigating both the effectiveness of mitigation measures…
