Na tien jaar van een jaarlijkse groei van de mondiale uitstoot van CO 2 van gemiddeld 4%, en een veel lagere toename in 2012 en 2013 van circa 1%, is de groei in 2014 met 0,5% bijna tot stilstand…
Analyse van nationale bijdragen (INDC’s) in aanloop naar het klimaatakkoord in Parijs; de effecten op de emissieprojecties tot 2030
Klimaatplannen die landen in de aanloop naar de klimaattop van Parijs hebben ingediend zouden, mits volledig geïmplementeerd, de uitstoot van broeikasgassen aanzienlijk kunnen terugdringen. Zonder…
Assessing Intended Nationally Determined Contributions to the Paris Climate Agreement
Climate plans submitted by countries in the run-up to the Paris Summit could, if fully implemented, deliver significant reductions in the emission of greenhouse gases. Without new climate policy, the…
