If fast and substantial reduction of greenhouse gas emissions is postponed further, there are fewer options available to stay below a 2 °C warming at the end of the century. Delayed action is likely to require measures that remove CO2 from the atmosphere by planting forests...
There is significant potential for young talent to enhance the credibility of scientific assessments, such as those of the IPCC, by contributing to quality assurance and quality control. In this essay, we reflect on an experiment carried out by the Dutch Government as part of...
A greenhouse gas reduction target of 40% below 1990 levels for 2030 for the European Union, to be achieved within Europe, would not necessarily be sufficient for achieving the target of limiting global temperature increase to 2 °C, given a possible lack of comparable efforts...
In the 2017 Informative Inventory Report (IIR) by the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM), the Dutch emission data on transboundary air polluting substances have been published on the 1990–2015 period. For this report, PBL Netherlands Environmental...
Total Dutch greenhouse gas emissions, in 2009, decreased by approximately three per cent, compared with emission levels of 2008. This decrease is a result of the economic crisis, especially due to a decline in industrial production. In 2009, total direct greenhouse gas...
In 2009 is de totale broeikasgasemissie van Nederland met ongeveer drie procent gedaald ten opzichte van de emissie in 2008. Deze daling komt vooral door een lagere industriële productie als gevolg van de economische crisis. De totale broeikasgasemissie in 2009 bedraagt 198,9...
Scaling up and accelerating action on climate change without delay will reduce the risk that keeping global average temperature rise below 2 °C becomes an unrealistic prospect. The Emissions Gap Report was coordinated by the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) and the European...
The National Inventory Report ‘Greenhouse Gas Emissions in the Netherlands 1990-2002’ is now available. This report has been published at the request of the Dutch Ministry of Housing, Spatial Planning and the Environment. It documents the Netherlands’ 2004 submission of its...
