van Beek, Lisette (author), Mouter, N. (author), Pelzer, Peter (author), Hajer, Maarten (author), van Vuuren, Detlef (author)The need for engaging citizens in climate policymaking is increasingly recognised. Despite indications that the form of expert involvement can strongly influence participatory processes, this remains scarcely researched. We analysed two unique and contrasting cases of citizen engagement in national climate mitigation policy: (1) the Irish...journal article 2024

(author), Portugal-Pereira, Joana (author), de Boer, Harmen Sytze (author), Schaeffer, Roberto (author)The decarbonization of shipping has become an important policy goal. While integrated assessment models (IAMs) are often used to explore climate mitigation strategies, they typically provide little information on international shipping, which accounts for emissions of around 0.7 GtCO<sub>2</sub> yr<sup>−1</sup>. Here we perform a multi-IAM...journal article 2024

These models vary in structure, objectives, parameterization and level of detail, yielding differences in the computed energy and climate policy scenarios. To study model differences, diagnostic indicators are common practice...journal article 2023

Blok, K. (author), Afanador, Angélica (author), Van Der Hoorn, Irina (author), Berg, Tom (author), Edelenbosch, Oreane Y. (author), Van Vuuren, Detlef P. (author)The aim of this article is to provide an overview of greenhouse gas emission reduction potentials for 2030 based on the assessment of detailed sectoral studies. The overview updates a previous assessment that dates back more than ten years. We find a total emission reduction potential of 30-36 GtCO2e compared to a current-policies baseline of...journal article 2020

Braakhekke, Maarten C. (author), Doelman, Jonathan C. (author), Baas, P. (author), Müller, Christoph (author), Schaphoff, Sibyll (author), Stehfest, Elke (author), Van Vuuren, Detlef P. (author)We present an extension of the dynamic global vegetation model, Lund-Potsdam-Jena Managed Land (LPJmL), to simulate planted forests intended for carbon (C) sequestration. We implemented three functional types to simulate plantation trees in temperate, tropical, and boreal climates. The parameters of these functional types were optimized to...journal article 2019

(author), Chen, Wenying (author), Drouet, Laurent (author), Fujimori, Shinichiro (author), Blok, K. (author)The bottom-up approach of the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) in the Paris Agreement has led countries to self-determine their greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction targets. The planned ‘ratcheting-up’ process, which aims to ensure that the NDCs comply with the overall goal of limiting global average temperature increase to well...journal article 2019
