There are several important factors that influence the size of the carbon budgets that are consistent with the ambition of the Paris Climate Agreement ‘to limit global temperature increase to well below 2 °C above pre-industrial levels, and to pursue efforts to limit this...
This new report by NewClimate Institute, PBL Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency and the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) provides an overview of projected greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in 25 major emitting countries/regions up to 2030,...
Governments and non-state actors need to deliver an urgent increase in ambition to ensure the Paris Agreement goals can still be met, according to a new UN assessment. Researchers of PBL Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency were among the leading authors of this study.

The occurrence of many species in the EU is expected to further decline, making it difficult to reach the 2050 policy vision. This study elaborates four ‘perspectives’ on the future of nature in the EU, in search for new approaches. The study concludes with topics for debate...
In the United States, 14 of the 25 largest cities have committed themselves to achieving greenhouse gas reduction targets. This study shows that, as a group, the 25 largest US cities are more ambitious than the US national reduction target. If the 11 cities without reduction...
To limit global warming to well below 2 °C, as agreed in the Paris Climate Agreement, climate actions by the Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land-Use (AFOLU) sector are crucial. The greenhouse gas emissions from the AFOLU sector represent approximately a quarter of global...
Under the Paris Agreement, countries agreed to keep the increase in global average temperature to well below 2 °C above pre-industrial levels, and to pursue efforts to stay below 1.5 °C. Countries have formulated and submitted post-2020 climate action plans they intend to...
Under the Paris Agreement, countries agreed to keep the increase in global average temperature to well below 2 °C above pre-industrial levels. Current climate action plans would deliver half the emission reductions required by 2030 to achieve the 2 °C objective. However, the...
Dit rapport bevat inschattingen van de kosten om de zogenaamde INDCs (Intended Nationally Determined Contributions; de klimaatplannen die landen hebben ingediend naar aanloop van Parijs) te halen, alsmede de kosten van meer ambitieuze scenario’s. Deze ambitieuzere scenario’s...
