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…
Efficiency improvement and technology choice for energy and emission reductions of the residential sector
The residential sector currently accounts for one fifth of global energy use and corresponding greenhouse gas emissions, largely driven by increasing demand for space heating and cooling. Climate…
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…
Privatisering van het publieke domein is een proces dat onder opiniemakers doorgaans op weinig instemming en sympathie kan rekenen. Dit themanummer van Ruimte en Wonen gaat over ‘Maatschappelijk…
Using Decomposition Analysis to Determine the Main Contributing Factors to Carbon Neutrality across Sectors
This paper uses decomposition analysis to investigate the key contributions to changes in greenhouse gas emissions in different scenarios. We derive decomposition formulas for the three highest…
Short- and long-term warming effects of methane may affect the cost-effectiveness of mitigation policies and benefits of low-meat diets
Methane’s short atmospheric life has important implications for the design of global climate change mitigation policies in agriculture. Three different agricultural economic models are used to explore…
