Analyses van opties voor het opnemen van internationale luchtvaart en scheepvaart emissies in een post-2012 klimaat mitigatie regime
De huidige snelgroeiende internationale lucht- en scheepvaartemissies zijn niet gereguleerd in het Kyoto Protocol. Uit deze studie blijkt dat het meenemen van internationale transportemissies in de…
Indien het kabinet besluit het mainportbeleid voor Schiphol voort te zetten, is het van groot belang dat het huidige ruimtelijk beleid rond de luchthaven consequent wordt volgehouden. Dit betekent dat…
An analysis of options for including international aviation and marine emissions in a post-2012 climate mitigation regime
Including international aviation and marine emissions in national/regional reduction targets is more cost-effective than excluding them, or regulating them via sector-specific policies. This is one of…
Cost-effective abatement options for improving air quality in the Netherlands
Research has indicated that more stringent European emission standards for heavy duty vehicles (EuroVI) are cost-effective compared to other measures to bring down the concentration of PM 10 and NO 2…
Fine particles: from scientific uncertainty to policy strategy
Gaps in our knowledge should not be a reason for not making policy decisions. How can we define robust policy strategies, given the various uncertainties in the sources, exposure, and causes of health…
Present and future sources and emissions of halocarbons: toward new constraints
It has been more than two decades since the first observation of the large seasonal depletion of stratospheric ozone over Antarctica. Since then, polar and midlatitude ozone losses have been well…
Closing the gap between science and policy on air pollution and health
Past and recent improvements in environmental quality, including air quality, are the result of weighing ecological, economic, and social interests in decision making. Despite this success, air…
An international colloquium, "Strategies for Clean Air and Health," was organized by the Network of Environmental Risk Assessment and Management (NERAM) and the AIRNET European Network on Air…
Uncertainty management in the IPCC: agreeing to disagree
Dealing consistently with risk and uncertainty across the IPCC reports is a difficult challenge. Huge practical difficulties arise from the Panel's scale and interdisciplinary context, the complexity…
Exploring techno-economic scenarios in an input-output model
The dynamic Input-Output model DIMITRI can be used for long-term scenario explorations on technology, demand and environmental effects. The model describes at a sectoral level the relations and…
