The research fields include sustainable development, energy and climate change, biodiversity, transport, land use, and air quality. It is one of three applied policy research institutes of the Dutch government, the other two being Centraal Planbureau (CPB), and The Netherlands Institute for Social Research (SCP).
The Dutch response to climate change is driven by a number of unique factors, including larger green recovery plans by the European Union in the face of the COVID-19 and a climate change litigation case, State of the Netherlands v. Urgenda Foundation, which created mandatory climate change mitigation through emissions reductions 25% below 1990 ...
The IPCC Sixth Assessment Report defines climate risk is the potential for negative consequences for society or ecosystems from the impacts of climate change. [2] Risk is used mainly to talk about the potential effects of climate change, but it may also result from the measures that we take to respond to those changes.
With its enhanced climate monitoring capability – combining observations from ground-based stations, satellites and model-based reanalysis – climate change can be better understood and predicted. Near real-time updates for the E–OBS daily gridded dataset will be used for the monitoring of extreme events in EURO4M.
Climate activists blocked part of the main highway around Amsterdam near the former headquarters of ING bank for hours on Saturday to protest its financing of fossil fuels. Dozens of Extinction ...

The Climate Vulnerability Index (CVI), also referred to as Climate Change Vulnerability Index (CCVI), is a tool that identifies places that are susceptible to floods and heat-related effects of climate change by combining built, social, and ecological elements. [1] [2] It is also described as a systematic tool to rapidly assess climate change ...
More than a dozen U.S. agencies and about 750 scientists produced the National Climate Assessment, meant to crystallize the top science on the problem and communicate it to wide audiences ...
