The impact of near-term climate policy choices on technology and emission transition pathways
This paper explores the implications of delays (to 2030) in implementing optimal policies for long-term transition pathways to limit climate forcing to 450 ppm CO 2 equivalent on the basis of the…
The Future Demand for Industrial Sites in the Netherlands: Is Employment a Good Predictor?
The future demand for industrial sites in the Netherlands: is employment a good predictor, Regional Studies. Popular forecasting models for long-term planning of industrial sites assume a strong…
In de milieueconomie, en zeker in het milieu- en natuurbeleid, hebben de inzichten uit de gedragseconomie nog geen brede ingang gevonden. Daar figureert de homo economicus nog nadrukkelijk – zij het…
Zonder extra maatregelen of innovaties neemt in Nederland het aantal potentiële arbeidskrachten in de zorg tussen nu en 2040 af met een derde ten opzichte van het aantal ouderen. Vanaf 2010 is de…
Implications of alternative assumptions regarding future air pollution control in scenarios similar to the Representative Concentration Pathways
The uncertain, future development of emissions of short-lived trace gases and aerosols forms a key factor for future air quality and climate forcing. The Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs)…
Mariculture: significant and expanding cause of coastal nutrient enrichment
Mariculture (marine aquaculture) generates nutrient waste either through the excretion by the reared organisms, or through direct enrichment by, or remineralization of, externally applied feed inputs…
Deltaprogramma: dit zijn de toekomstscenario’s voor 2050 en 2100
Voorafgaand aan het vierde Nationaal Deltacongres op 7 november 2013 publiceren het PBL, CPB (Centraal Planbureau), KNMI en Wageningen UR/LEI onder leiding van Deltares de ‘Deltascenario’s voor 2050…
Energy demand and emissions of the non-energy sector
The demand for fossil fuels for non-energy purposes such as production of bulk chemicals is poorly understood. In this study we analyse data on non-energy demand and disaggregate it across key…
The size and impact of the Dutch footprint on the planet
Everyone uses natural resources, and the land required to produce these resources is often metaphorically referred to as the footprint. This metaphor has helped to make many people aware of the…
The effect of updated pledges and business-as-usual projections, and new agreed rules on expected global greenhouse gas emissions in 2020
Since the climate negotiations in Copenhagen (2009), many countries have pledged to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by 2020. These pledges were 'anchored' in the 2010 Cancún Agreements. Since…
