Uncertainty analysis for NOx emissions from Dutch passenger cars in 1998. Applying structured expert elicitation and distinguishing different types of uncertainty
In decision-making processes on emission reduction, not only are emission data needed but also information on the uncertainty of these data. Here, structured expert elicitation was used an uncertainty…
Multi-gas emission profiles for stabilising greenhouse gas concentrations: Emission implications of limiting global temperature increase to 2 degrees centigrade
In this report we present two CO 2-equivalent emission profiles leading to two different stabilised greenhouse gas concentration levels. The contribution of the various greenhouse gas emissions is…
In 2001, version 2.2 of the IMAGE model was completed as result of a multi-year development trajectory. Besides an ensuing internal discussion at RIVM on the way forward with global integrated…
Climate impact response functions as impact tools in the tolerable windows approach
A critical issue for policymakers in defining mitigationstrategies for climate change is the availability of appropriate evaluation tools. The development of climate impact response functions (CIRFs)…
Establishing the link between ammonia emission control and measurements of reduced nitrogen concentrations and deposition
In the context of international efforts to reduce the impactsof atmospheric NH 3 and NH 4 + (collectively, NH x), it is important to establish the link between NH3 emissions and monitoring of NH x…
Climate impact response functions as impact tools in the tolerable windows approach

The direct and indirect energy requirement of households in the European Union
In this article we evaluate the average energy requirement of households in 11 EU member states. By investigating both the direct (electricity, natural gas, gasoline, etc.) and the indirect energy…
The thickness of the ozone layer above Europe has decreased significantly since the beginning of the 1980s, and is declining at a rate of 4–5 % per decade.
Results of 10 years of monitoring nitrogen in the sandy regions in the Netherlands
The effect of policy measures on agriculture and water quality with respect to nitrogen have been monitored on farms in the sandy regions since the early 1990s.
COOL: exploring options for carbon dioxide reduction in an participatory mode
The ULYSSES study has been an interesting exercise, unique in its variety of research groups spread all over Europe with different research backgrounds and different foci, yet all embarking on a…
