Effects of European emission reductions on air quality in the Netherlands and the associated health effects
Since the 1970s, European policies to improve air quality have resulted in fewer air polluting emissions, in many countries. As a result, levels of ambient concentrations of particulate matter and…
From global to national scenarios: Bridging different models to explore power generation decarbonisation based on insights from socio-technical transition case studies
In this paper, we apply two global Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) and one detailed European electricity system model to explore the consequences of different narrative-based low-carbon scenarios…

Strong time dependence of ocean acidification mitigation by atmospheric carbon dioxide removal
In Paris in 2015, the global community agreed to limit global warming to well below 2 ∘ C, aiming at even 1.5 ∘ C. It is still uncertain whether these targets are sufficient to preserve marine…
Accurate assessment of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions and their redistribution among the atmosphere, ocean, and terrestrial biosphere – the “global carbon budget” – is important to…
