Aquaculture production is a large, spatially concentrated source of nutrients in Chinese freshwater and coastal seas
This article presents a spatially explicit inventory of nutrient emissions from aquaculture to waterbodies for 2006 and 2017. Aquaculture production and nutrient excretion are now comparable to that…
Modeling forest plantations for carbon uptake with the LPJmL dynamic global vegetation model
We present an extension of the dynamic global vegetation model, Lund–Potsdam–Jena Managed Land (LPJmL), to simulate planted forests intended for carbon (C) sequestration. We implemented three…
Reconciling global sustainability targets and local action for food production and climate change mitigation
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) imply country-led implementation. Yet, their achievement depends on sustainability targets compatible across different sectors and scales. Our study examines…
Reactie PBL op brieven van de Stichting Agri Facts
De Stichting Agri Facts plaatst vraagtekens bij de juistheid van conclusies van het PBL over de trend in het aantal overschrijdingen van de waternorm voor gewasbeschermingsmiddelen. In een brief aan…
Mid-century emission pathways in Japan associated with the global 2 °C goal: national and global models’ assessments based on carbon budgets
This study assesses Japan’s mid-century low-emission pathways using both national and global integrated assessment models in the common mitigation scenario framework, based on the carbon budgets…
Telers, afnemers van producten en leveranciers zijn er onvoldoende in geslaagd om het gebruik van chemische gewasbeschermingsmiddelen terug te dringen. Er is privaat én publiek beleid nodig dat het…
Understanding transition pathways by bridging modelling, transition and practice-based studies
This paper presents an introduction to and overview of the papers in this Special Issue of Technological Forecasting & Social Change on ‘Transition Pathways’ is presented. Each of these papers are an…
Executive summary of nexus-relevant policies and recommendations for policy improvements
Democratic science, participation and support are fundamental pillars of successful policy making in a nexus context. They can help to avoid pitfalls such as conflicting or absent regulation…
Hydropower dependency and climate change in sub-Saharan Africa: A nexus framework and evidence-based review
In sub-Saharan Africa, 160 million grid-connected electricity consumers live in countries where hydropower accounts for over 50% of total power supply. A warmer climate with more frequent and intense…
The role of methane in future climate strategies: mitigation potentials and climate impacts
This study examines model-specific assumptions and projections of methane (CH 4 ) emissions in deep mitigation scenarios generated by integrated assessment models (IAMs). For this, scenarios of nine…
