WAB Scientific Assessment and Policy Analysis

The Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency (PBL) organizes for the Netherlands Ministry of Housing, Spatial Planning and the Environment (VROM) the Scientific Assessment and Policy Analysis programme (WAB). The programme gathers relevant scientific information on climate change and evaluates this information for policy analysis and decision-making.

Furthermore WAB analyses intentions and conclusions in the framework of international climate change negotiations on there implications.

WAB analysis and assessment present a balanced judgement of state ot the art knowledge on behalf of policy options on climate change. The WAB projects have a duration of several months up to a year depending on the complexity and urgency of the policy question. For each subject a projectteam is composed with the best Ducth experts on a specific topic.

Custumers of WAB-products are mostly the Dutch mininstrial departments participating in climate change policies, the Netherlands Ministry of  Housing, Spatial Planning and the Environment (VROM) has a coordination part towards the other ministries in climate change policies. The tasks performed are also targeted on social fractions participating  in climate change policies.
