A Framework for the Assessment of the Global Potential of Joint Implementation
Joint Implementation (JI) is a means for reaching cheaper solutions to CO 2 emission reductions. The global potential for JI is defined as the portion of the necessary regional CO 2 emission…
Modelling Regional Energy Use for Evaluating Global Climate Scenarios
The Energy-Economy model presented in this report is a submodel of the integrated IMAGE 2.1 model (Integrated Model for Analyzing Greenhouse Effects). The Energy-Economy submodel computes total energy…
Modelling global biogeochemical cycles; an integrated assessment approach
Global biogeochemical cycles describe the transformation and movement of chemical substances in the global environment. Disturbances in these global biogeochemical cycles, in particular the cycles of…
Scenario study of the effects of CFC, HCFC and HFC emissions on stratospheric ozone
It is widely accepted that anthropogenic emissions of chlorine and bromine species are responsible for the major part of the destruction of the ozone layer in the last two decades. The future…
Modelling the effect of global warming on the prevalence of schistosomiasis
One of the potential health consequences of global warming is a (re-)introduction of vector-borne diseases into certain regions which may, or may not have been, previously endemic. In most tropical…
AQUA: A framework for integrated water policy analysis
In order to design water policy as part of a strategy for sustainable development, an insight into the dynamics of the water system is necessary but not sufficient. It is hypothesized that…
HEATHSOL: sensitivity/uncertainty analysis and validation
A sensitivity analysis, a restricted uncertainty analysis and a validation of a model describing competition between a heather and grass species (HEATHSOL), was carried out.
Air Quality in Major European Cities. Part II: City Report Forms
Within the framework of Europe's Environment programme, commissioned by the EU and co-ordinated by the EEA-Task Force, RIVM, NILU and MGO conducted a study on air quality in a number of cities in…
Air Quality in Major European Cities. Part I: Scientific Background Document to Europe's Environment
This reports documents the research that RIVM, NILU and MGO have conducted into urban and local air pollution in Europe. The research was carried out in the framework of the Europe's Environment…
