Abating ammonia is more cost-effective than nitrogen oxides for global mitigation of particulate matter air pollution
Worldwide, more than 4 million people die prematurely every year due to ambient air pollution. This is more than from malnutrition or overweight. Particulate matter (PM2.5, particles smaller than 2.5…
A framework for nitrogen futures in the shared socioeconomic pathways
Humanity's transformation of the nitrogen cycle has major consequences for ecosystems, climate and human health, making it one of the key environmental issues. Understanding how trends could evolve…
Analysing group contract design using a threshold public goods experiment
This paper presents the results of a threshold public goods game experiment with heterogeneous players. The experiment is designed in close collaboration with the Dutch association of agri…
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…
Het kabinet streeft sinds 2017 naar een natuurinclusieve landbouw in Nederland. Maar hoe staat het er nu voor? En wat zijn de kansen en belemmeringen voor boeren om over te stappen op natuurinclusieve…
Decreasing ammonia loss from an Australian pasture with the use of enhanced efficiency fertilizers
Mitigating ammonia (NH3) volatilization from intensive pasture systems is critical for environmental sustainability. However, field-scale evaluation on the potential of enhanced efficiency fertilizers…
Op verzoek van het ministerie van Economische Zaken en Klimaat en het Klimaatberaad heeft het PBL het ontwerp Klimaatakkoord (OKA) doorgerekend. Centraal in deze analyse staan de verwachte effecten…
Agricultural non-CO2 emission reduction potential in the context of the 1.5 °C target
Agricultural methane and nitrous oxide emissions represent around 10–12% of total anthropogenic GHG emissions and have a key role to play in achieving a 1.5 °C (above pre-industrial) climate…
Dit essay over de governance-opgave in de landbouw ontrafelt waarom de landbouw volhardt in schaalvergroting en intensivering en nauwelijks rekening lijkt te houden met de maatschappelijke roep om de…
Reducing global GHG emissions by replicating successful sector examples: the ‘good practice policies’ scenario
This article shows the potential impact on global greenhous gas (GHG) emissions in 2030, if all countries were to implement sectoral climate policies similar to successful examples already implemented…
