De studie ‘Greenhouse gas impact of bioenergy pathways’ verkent de broeikasgas impact van verschillende vormen van conventionele en geavanceerde vloeibare en vaste biobrandstoffen. De studie, geschreven in opdracht van het International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA),...
This study, commissioned by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), offers an assessment of the effect of bioenergy on greenhouse gas emissions. It combines estimates of supply-chain emissions from liquid and solid biofuels and direct and indirect land-use-change...
INDCs are projected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in 2030 by up to 6 gigatonnes of CO2e, but 12 extra gigatonnes are needed to keep warming below 2° C. Existing policies and strong engagement by nations submitting their Intended Nationally Determined Contributions...
Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs) are projected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in 2030 by up to 6 gigatonnes of CO2e, but 12 extra gigatonnes are needed to keep warming below 2° C. Existing policies and strong engagement by nations submitting their...
We developed a new assessment method of the land supply for agriculture, on a grid scale basis and per region, which takes into account both biophysical, institutional and socio-economic parameters of land availability and suitability for conversion into agricultural...
Natural disasters due to weather extremes occur frequently, both in Europe and in the rest of the world. In the first decade of the 21st century, for example, 3000 natural disasters were reported worldwide due to flooding, heatwaves, drought, storms and cyclones. Climate...
This document describes the new research and development strategy for the IMAGE Framework, for the 2015–2020 period, based on current and emerging research and policy questions. The document sets out the directions; in terms of concrete activities, the strategy will need to...
Biodiversity in freshwater ecosystems is undergoing rapid global decline. Major drivers are land use change, eutrophication, hydrological disturbance, climate change, overexploitation and invasive species. The GLOBIO-Aquatic model was developed for assessing the dominant...
Waar de korenwolf twintig jaar geleden nog geassocieerd werd met doorgeschoten natuurbeleid, is deze bedreigde hamster nu een positief symbool voor het Limburgse landschap. Een belangrijke factor in de omslag blijkt de lerende werkwijze van het korenwolfbeleid.
To evaluate the appreciation of nature and landscape, PBL needs reliable models, data and indicators. As the application of existing models has some limitations, PBL requested for plans to develop a landscape appreciation model based on revealed preferences. This external...
