Opties voor Europees klimaat- en energiebeleid na 2020
De Europese Unie streeft naar een 80% vermindering van de uitstoot van broeikasgassen in 2050. Om zo’n drastische vermindering te bereiken, moet de vernieuwing van het energiesysteem voortvarender…
EU policy options for climate and energy beyond 2020
The EU has set itself the ambition of an 80% reduction of greenhouse gases by 2050. Such a drastic reduction requires a much more vigorous renewal of the energy system. Setting a target for emission…
Hindcasts and Future Projections of Global Inland and Coastal Nitrogen and Phosphorus Loads Due to Finfish Aquaculture
A global model is used to calculate feed and nutrient budgets for freshwater and marine omnivorous and carnivorous aquacultural finfish production. The model uses national production data for the…
Aanpassing aan extreem weer: het identificeren van verschillende maatschappelijke perspectieven in Nederland
De intensiteit en het vóórkomen van extreme weersomstandigheden zullen naar verwachting veranderen door klimaatverandering. Deze verandering noopt tot adaptieve responsen op extreme gebeurtenissen…
Adaptation to extreme weather: identifying different societal perspectives in the Netherlands
The intensity and occurrence of extreme weather events are expected to change with climate change. This change necessitates adaptive responses to extreme events, which need to take into account…
The effects of adaptation and mitigation on coastal flood impacts during the 21st century
This paper studies the effects of mitigation and adaptation on coastal flood impacts. We focus on a scenario that stabilizes concentrations at 450 parts per million CO 2 -equivalent leading to 42 cm…
De ecologische kwaliteit van Nederlands oppervlaktewater
Om te voorspellen hoe milieumaatregelen doorwerken op de ecologische kwaliteit van oppervlaktewater, gericht op natuur, heeft het PBL (Planbureau voor de Leefomgeving) een bijdrage geleverd aan het…
Analysing the greenhouse gas emission reductions of the mitigation action plans by non-Annex I countries by 2020
As part of the Cancún Agreements, 45 non-Annex I countries (non-industrialised) have pledged mitigation action plans, of which 16 countries, including the seven major emitting countries, have…
Opening up the societal debate on climate engineering: how newspaper frames are changing
The use of climate engineering or geoengineering technologies to combat climate change has been a controversial topic, even in the scientific debate. In recent studies, it has been claimed that the…
Nutrient dynamics, transfer and retention along the aquatic continuum from land to ocean: towards integration of ecological and biogeochemical models
In river basins, soils, groundwater, riparian zones and floodplains, streams, rivers, lakes and reservoirs act as successive filters in which the hydrology, ecology and biogeochemical processing are…
