Climate change under aggressive mitigation: the ENSEMBLES multi-model experiment
This paper present results from multiple comprehensive models used to simulate an aggressive mitigation scenario based on detailed results of an Integrated Assessment Model. The experiment employs ten…
The Copenhagen Accord: abatement costs and carbon prices resulting from the submissions
As part of the Copenhagen Accord, individual countries have submitted greenhouse gas reduction proposals for the year 2020. This paper analyses the implications for emission reductions, the carbon…
Holocene carbon emissions as a result of anthropogenic land cover change
Humans have altered the Earth’s land surface since the Paleolithic mainly by clearing woody vegetation first to improve hunting and gathering opportunities, and later to provide agricultural cropland…
Verkeer en vervoer in de Referentieraming Energie en Emissies 2010-2020. Broeikasgassen en luchtverontreinigende stoffen
Door het Schoon en Zuinig-beleid dat het kabinet Balkenende IV in november 2007 invoerde, zal de door verkeer en vervoer veroorzaakte CO 2-emissie in 2020 circa 3,5 megaton lager zijn dan zonder…
The use of scenarios as the basis for combined assessment of climate change mitigation and adaptation
Scenarios are used to explore the consequences of different adaptation and mitigation strategies under uncertainty. In this paper, two scenarios are used to explore developments with no mitigation…
Samenstelling en herkomst van fijn stof in Nederland
Fijn stof heeft een negatieve invloed op de gezondheid en speelt een belangrijke rol in klimaatverandering. Om effectief mitigatiebeleid te kunnen formuleren is het noodzakelijk om de relatie tussen…
The relationship between short-term emissions and long-term concentration targets
The relationship between long-term climate goals and short/medium-term emission targets forms crucial information for the design of international climate policy. Since IPCC’s 4th Assessment Report…
Uncertainty and risk in climate projections for the 21st century
There are by now many studies on estimation of uncertainty of climate system properties and model parameters but still only few on probabilistic climate projections. Moreover, most of these studies…
Impact of future land use and land cover changes on atmospheric chemistry‐climate interactions
To demonstrate potential future consequences of land cover and land use changes beyond those for physical climate and the carbon cycle, we present an analysis of large-scale impacts of land cover and…
Het beleidsgericht onderzoeksprogramma fijn stof, gefinancierd door het ministerie van Volkshuisvesting Ruimtelijke Ordening en Milieubeheer, is eind 2009 afgerond.
