Human alteration of the global nitrogen and phosphorus soil balances for the period 1970–2050

The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MEA) scenarios allow for describing contrasting future developments in agricultural nutrient use under changing climate for the next five decades. Massive…

Roadmap to a climate-proof Netherlands

In the spatial planning of the Netherlands it becomes important to consider climate change. The main challenges to be incorporated in spatial strategies are: flood protection, fresh water availability…

Growing within limits. A report to the Global Assembly 2009 of the Club of Rome

Current trends in fossil-fuel use and inefficient land use will lead to large global environmental problems with respect to climate change and biodiversity loss. Technical and economically feasible…

Traffic emissions of elemental carbon (EC) and organic carbon (OC) and their contribution to PM2.5 and PM10 urban background concentrations

The contribution of carbon to particulate matter is larger in urban areas than outside those areas. The increment in urban EC and OC concentrations was found mainly to be caused by traffic emissions…

Global nitrogen and phosphate in urban wastewater for the period 1970 to 2050

This paper constitutes the first spatially explicit, global assessment of sewage N and P emissions to surface water for the period 1970 to 2000, and the first projection of such N and P emissions for…

Uncertainty in the Netherlands' greenhouse gas emissions inventory Estimation of the uncertainty about annual data and trend scenarios, using the IPCC Tier 1 approach

The Netherlands signed the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), and, therefore, is bound to report its greenhouse gas emissions, on an annual basis in a National Greenhouse…

Vulnerability of people and the environment - challenges and opportunities. Background Report on Chapter 7 of GEO-4

This report provides the background to the vulnerability analysis in the fourth Global Environment Outlook (GEO-4), published by United Nations Environmental Program (UNEP) in October 2007. It…

Netherlands Informative Inventory Report 2008

This explanation of the official Dutch emission data provides a clear view on applicability and verification of emission inventories in the Netherlands up to 2006. It includes descriptions and…

Lessons from global environmental assessments

Global targets for development and the environment will not be achieved if current trends are to continue. Analyses in IPCC Climate Change 2007, UNEP Global Environment Outlook 4, OECD Environmental…

Bottom-up uncertainty estimate of global ammonia emissions from global agricultural production systems

n this paper we describe differences in the uncertainty of NH 3 emissions from agriculture and the major factors determining the uncertainty between countries and world regions, i.e. the USA, the…
