Quantifying synergies and trade-offs in the global water-land-food-climate nexus using a multi-model scenario approach
The human-earth system is confronted with the challenge of providing a range of resources for a growing and more prosperous world population while simultaneously reducing environmental degradation…
Climate change impacts on the energy system: a model comparison
Increasing renewable energy use is an essential strategy for mitigating climate change. Nevertheless, the sensitivity of renewable energy to climatic conditions means that the energy system's…
BLOEM: A spatially explicit model of bioenergy and carbon capture and storage, applied to Brazil
Bioenergy could play a major role in decarbonizing energy systems in the context of the Paris Agreement. Large-scale bioenergy deployment could be related to sustainability issues and requires major…
Land-based climate change mitigation measures can affect agricultural markets and food security
Earlier studies have noted potential adverse impacts of land-related emissions mitigation strategies on food security, particularly due to food price increases—but without distinguishing these…
Translating Global Integrated Assessment Model Output into Lifestyle Change Pathways at the Country and Household Level
Countries’ emission reduction commitments under the Paris Agreement have significant implications for lifestyles. National planning to meet emission targets is based on modelling and analysis specific…
Kijk bij nieuwbouw in de polder verder dan alleen het aantal woningen
In de discussie over het inlopen van het woningtekort wordt vaak verwezen naar grootschalige nieuwbouw op uitleglocaties aan de stadsranden. Deze discussie richt zich tot nu toe voornamelijk op…
Defining a sustainable development target space for 2030 and 2050
With the establishment of the sustainable development goals (SDGs), countries worldwide agreed to a prosperous, socially inclusive, and environmentally sustainable future for all. This ambition…
Establishing long-term nitrogen response of global cereals to assess sustainable fertilizer rates
Insight into the response of cereal yields to nitrogen fertilizer is fundamental to improving nutrient management and policies to sustain farm economy and food sufficiency with minimum nitrogen…
Good practice policies to bridge the emissions gap in key countries
One key aspect of the Paris Agreement is the goal to limit the global average temperature increase to well below 2 °C by the end of the century. To achieve the Paris Agreement goals, countries need to…
Can global models provide insights into regional mitigation strategies? A diagnostic model comparison study of bioenergy in Brazil
The usefulness of global integrated assessment model (IAM) results for policy recommendation in specific regions has not been fully assessed to date. This study presents the variation in results…
