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…
Ruimtelijk beleid kan niet zonder demografische analyse
In haar oratie stelt prof. dr. Dorien Manting dat veranderingen in de demografische levenslopen van mensen een belangrijke verklaring vormen voor allerlei ruimtelijke ontwikkelingen. De verlenging van…
Non-Kyoto radiative forcing in long-run greenhouse gas emissions and climate change scenarios
Climate policies must consider radiative forcing from Kyoto greenhouse gases, as well as other forcing constituents, such as aerosols and tropospheric ozone that result from air pollutants. Non-Kyoto…
Mid- and long-term climate projections for fragmented and delayed-action scenarios
This paper explores the climate consequences of “delayed near-term action” and “staged accession” scenarios for limiting warming below 2 ° Celsius (C). The stabilization of greenhouse gas…
Ontwikkelingsvarianten voor de Zuidwestelijke Delta (notitie)
Het PBL (Planbureau voor de Leefomgeving) brengt in de studie ‘Samenhang in de Zuidwestelijke Delta’ de samenhang tussen verschillende beleidskeuzes voor de Zuidwestelijke Delta in beeld. Het PBL…
Actual global emissions of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) reached a new record of 34.5 billion tonnes in 2012. Yet, the increase in global CO 2 emissions in that year slowed down to 1.1% (or 1.4%, not…
