Analysing the impacts of including REDD credits in carbon markets
Larger global emission reductions and lower overall abatement costs can be achieved if REDD (reducing emisions from deforestation) credits are included in a future carbon market. One of the key…
Deltaprogramma: dit zijn de toekomstscenario’s voor 2050 en 2100
Voorafgaand aan het vierde Nationaal Deltacongres op 7 november 2013 publiceren het PBL, CPB (Centraal Planbureau), KNMI en Wageningen UR/LEI onder leiding van Deltares de ‘Deltascenario’s voor 2050…
Ontwikkelingsvarianten voor de Zuidwestelijke Delta (notitie)
Het PBL (Planbureau voor de Leefomgeving) brengt in de studie ‘Samenhang in de Zuidwestelijke Delta’ de samenhang tussen verschillende beleidskeuzes voor de Zuidwestelijke Delta in beeld. Het PBL…
Non-Kyoto radiative forcing in long-run greenhouse gas emissions and climate change scenarios
Climate policies must consider radiative forcing from Kyoto greenhouse gases, as well as other forcing constituents, such as aerosols and tropospheric ozone that result from air pollutants. Non-Kyoto…
The impact of technology availability on the timing and costs of emission reductions for achieving long-term climate targets
While most long-term mitigation scenario studies build on a broad portfolio of mitigation technologies, there is quite some uncertainty about the availability and reduction potential of these…
A new scenario framework for climate change research: background, process, and future directions
The scientific community is developing new global, regional, and sectoral scenarios to facilitate interdisciplinary research and assessment to explore the range of possible future climates and related…
Using logged trees as a bioenergy source – replacing fossil fuel – carries the risk of first increasing CO 2 emissions before reducing them. It could in fact take up to 100 years before emissions…
Klimaateffecten door gebruik van hout voor bio-energie
Het kappen van bomen voor bio-energie – als vervanging van fossiele brandstoffen - brengt het risico met zich mee dat de uitstoot van CO 2 eerst vele jaren stijgt voordat deze daalt. Het kan wel 100…
Sensitivity analyses of the ESPON Climate framework, on the basis of the case study on flooding in the Netherlands
The ESPON Climate framework is a first attempt to develop a comprehensive methodology that integrates data and interrelations across a vast range of relevant fields in order to assess a pan-European…
Quantifying biodiversity impacts of climate change and bioenergy: the role of integrated global scenarios
The role of bioenergy in climate change mitigation is a topic of heated debate, as the demand for land may result in social and ecological conflicts. Biodiversity impacts are a key controversy, given…
