Hà, T.L. (author), Bastiaanssen, W.G.M. (author), Simons, Gijs W. H. (author), Poortinga, Ate (author)Hydrological ecosystem services (HESS) describe the benefits of water for multiple purposes with an emphasis on environmental values. The value of HESS is often not realized because primary benefits (e.g., food production, water withdrawals) get the most attention. Secondary benefits such as water storage, purification or midday temperature...journal article 2023

Tang, Chen (author), Tukker, Arnold (author), Sprecher, Benjamin (author), Mogollón, José M. (author)The European Union (EU) has set a 37.5% GHG reduction target in 2030 for the mobility sector, relative to 1990 levels. This requires increasing the share of zero-emission passenger vehicles, mainly in the form of electric vehicles (EVs). This study calculates future GHG emissions related to passenger vehicle manufacturing and use based on...review 2023
