Holocene carbon emissions as a result of anthropogenic land cover change
Humans have altered the Earth’s land surface since the Paleolithic mainly by clearing woody vegetation first to improve hunting and gathering opportunities, and later to provide agricultural cropland…
The use of scenarios as the basis for combined assessment of climate change mitigation and adaptation
Scenarios are used to explore the consequences of different adaptation and mitigation strategies under uncertainty. In this paper, two scenarios are used to explore developments with no mitigation…
Uncertainty and risk in climate projections for the 21st century
There are by now many studies on estimation of uncertainty of climate system properties and model parameters but still only few on probabilistic climate projections. Moreover, most of these studies…
The relationship between short-term emissions and long-term concentration targets
The relationship between long-term climate goals and short/medium-term emission targets forms crucial information for the design of international climate policy. Since IPCC’s 4th Assessment Report…
Impact of future land use and land cover changes on atmospheric chemistry‐climate interactions
To demonstrate potential future consequences of land cover and land use changes beyond those for physical climate and the carbon cycle, we present an analysis of large-scale impacts of land cover and…
Neveneffecten van klimaatbeleid op emissies van luchtverontreinigende stoffen in Nederland
Verschillende indicatieve klimaatbeleidspakketten voor 2020 blijken netto gunstige neveneffecten op te leveren voor de luchtkwaliteit. De mate van de bijdrage aan de luchtkwaliteit hangt af van de…
Adaptation strategy for climate-proofing biodiversity
Nature areas in the Netherlands are vulnerable to the consequences of climate change. Under implementation of the current nature policy, sustainable conservation of all plant- and animal species in…
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…
Adaptatiestrategie voor een klimaatbestendige natuur
Bij uitvoering van het huidige beleid blijft de natuur kwetsbaar voor de gevolgen van klimaatverandering. Behoud van alle dier- en plantensoorten per gebied is niet realistisch in het licht van de…
