Grimbergen, Katja (author)The Dutch construction sector has the task in the coming years, to build around 1 million new houses in the Netherlands, most of which will have to be built in urban areas. Together with existing (inter)national crises such as the climate change crisis and biodiversity loss crisis, this means the sector will have to think differently to not...master thesis 2023

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

Hà, T.L. (author), Bastiaanssen, W.G.M. (author)The principles of Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM), conservation of natural capital, and water accounting requires Hydrological Eco-System Services (HESS) to be determined. This paper presents a modeling approach for quantifying the HESS framework using the Soil Water Assessment Tool (SWAT). SWAT was used–after calibration against...journal article 2023

Tang, Chen (author), Tukker, Arnold (author), Sprecher, B. (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

Wu, Ran (author), Ma, Tao (author), Schröder, E. (author)International trade and emission offshoring can reduce a country's domestic carbon dioxide emissions, helping it to reach emission reduction targets set under the prevailing territorial climate policy frameworks. We ask what is the net contribution of trade to national production-based emissions. Existing metrics (consumption-based emissions and...journal article 2022

ten Caat, P.N. (author), Tenpierik, M.J. (author), van den Dobbelsteen, A.A.J.F. (author)The production, processing, and transportation of food, in particular animal-based products, imposes great environmental burden on the planet. The current food supply system often constitutes a considerable part of the total carbon emissions of urban communities in industrialised cities. Urban food production (UFP) is a method that can...journal article 2022

de Bruijn, J.A. (author), Warnier, Martijn (author), Janssen, M.F.W.H.A. (author)Governments look at explainable artificial intelligence's (XAI) potential to tackle the criticisms of the opaqueness of algorithmic decision-making with AI. Although XAI is appealing as a solution for automated decisions, the wicked nature of the challenges governments face complicates the use of XAI. Wickedness means that the facts that define...journal article 2022

Ghorbanpour, Ali Karbalaye (author), Afshar, Abbas (author), Hessels, T.M. (author), Duan, Zheng (author)An exhaustive evaluation of water resources is a prerequisite for evidence-informed planning and implementing sustainable management strategies. However, the lack of sufficient information on water supply and consumption, alongside the technical limitations on comprehensive accounting for inter-relations and interactions between the...journal article 2022

Hessels, T.M. (author), Davids, Jeffrey C. (author), Bastiaanssen, W.G.M. (author)Strategic planning of water management at the river-basin scale requires (1) measurement and accounting of individual hydrological processes, (2) quantification of water resources, and (3) their optimal allocation. Scalable Water Balances from Earth Observations (SWEO) is an open-access parameterization enabling automated reporting of water...journal article 2022

(author), Thün, Geoffrey (author), Cullen, Sean (author), Nakayama, Shun (author), Karanisa, Theodora (author), Monti, Stewart (author)Current urbanization rates concentrate the ever growing demand for food, energy and water (FEW) resources particularly in cities, making them one of the main drivers of greenhouse gas emissions. The FEW nexus integrative approach offers a potential framework for sustainable resource management in cities. However, existing nexus evaluation...journal article 2022

Knorringa, Jair (author)Carbon accounting in the financial sector has experienced a rapid growth over the last years. Both private and public institutions have focused their attention on the role the financial sector can play in accelerating the transition to a low carbon economy. More than 80% of the financial institutions worldwide acknowledge the importance of GHG...master thesis 2021

Simons, G.W.H. (author)Downstream reuse of previously withdrawn water resources is a common phenomenon across river basins worldwide, particularly those with (semi-)arid climate conditions and intensive water resources development. Water reuse often occurs unplanned, remains undetected, and as a result is insufficiently considered in water saving attempts, water...doctoral thesis 2021

Tegtmeier, Kaja (author)Most nations have agreed to limit the emission of greenhouse gases within the Paris Agreement. The agreement relies on the assumption that all participating nations have accurate means of estimating carbon emissions and offsets accurately. However, global carbon emission accounting methodologies lack accuracy in approach and required carbon...master thesis 2021
