A large number of published climate scenarios have been analysed in order to identify if the 2020 emission levels are consistent with the 2 degree Celsius target. It is concluded that there are...
Special issue of Climatic Change journal on the Representative Concentration Pathways released
A new Special issue of the journal Climatic Change describes four new key scenarios for the climate research community: the Representative Concentration Pathway (RCPs). The RCPs describe a wide range...
Key findings of IPCC on regional climate-change impacts found to be robust
PBL Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency has found no errors that would undermine the main conclusions in the 2007 report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) on possible...
The Copenhagen Accord has proven beneficial to the efforts of achieving the target of limiting global warming to two degrees Celsius. Since the climate conference was held, countries have pledged to...
Bio-energy has the potential to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Indirect effects might partly or even completely undo this advantage. Indirect land use change (ILUC) – leading to emissions and...
Copenhagen: increased support for two-degree target, but emission reductions too low
The political support for limiting the increase in global temperatures to two degrees has grown, but – as was expected – legally binding international agreements have not yet been made. China and...
The contribution of carbon to particulate matter is larger in urban areas than outside those areas. The increment in urban EC and OC concentrations was found mainly to be caused by traffic emissions...
Through the new web dossier “Integral Nitrogen” MNP communicates its international publications and activities related to nitrogen. Nitrogen compounds (reactive nitrogen) are accumulating in the...
