Spatial planning of a climate adaptation zone for wetland ecosystems
In a publication in Landscape Ecology we present a spatial planning approach for the implementation of adaptation measures to climate change in conservation planning for ecological networks…
Options to accelerate ozone recovery: ozone and climate benefits
Hypothetical reductions in future emissions of ozone-depleting substances (ODSs) and N 2 O are evaluated in terms of effects on equivalent effective stratospheric chlorine (EESC), globally-averaged…
Assessing an IPCC assessment. An analysis of statements on projected regional impacts in the 2007 report
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…
Misrepresentation of the IPCC CO2 emission scenarios
Fossil fuel CO 2 emissions have increased significantly during the last decade. However, contrary to some statements in recent publications, current emissions are not higher than covered in the…
Including adaptation costs and climate change damages in evaluating post-2012 burden-sharing regimes
Many studies have been published to evaluate the consequences of different post-2012 emission allocation regimes on regional mitigation costs. This paper goes one step further and evaluates not only…
The N budget for Europe (excluding the former Soviet Union) indicates that the 3 principal driving forces of the acceleration of the European N cycle are fertilizer production (14 Mt (mill. tonnes) N…
A model-based approach to the calculation of global warming potentials (GWP)
The Global Warming Potential (GWP) of greenhouse gas emissions can be defined as a greenhouse pendant to the Ozone Depleting Potential (ODP). Global Warming Potentials are calculated for the most…
Temperature increasing potentials (TIPS) for greenhouse gases
In order to develop long-term environmental goals with respect to global climate change an index to compare the temperature increasing effect of greenhouse gas emissions is needed. In this report for…
