Urbanisation and climate change increase the need for quantitative insight into the contribution of nature-based solutions (NbS) to climate adaptation. While NbS are widely implemented at local scales, their aggregated contribution to regional and national adaptation ambitions remains largely unknown. …

Decarbonizing the energy system requires new applications for green hydrogen produced via electrolysis, especially in high-emission sectors. This study investigates the technoeconomic feasibility of off-grid on-farm hydrogen production integrated with intermittent renewables in Australia and the Netherlands, …

Cape Town faces a complex and interlinked set of climate-related challenges, including recurring droughts, flooding, intensifying heat stress and biodiversity loss. These impacts are further amplified by rapid urbanization, pollution (often due to poor infrastructure and service delivery), ageing water …

De biodiversiteit in Nederland neemt af, mede door intensieve landbouw. Voedselbossen worden gezien als een mogelijke oplossing om deze trend te keren. In dit onderzoek is de biodiversiteit onderzocht in Voedselbos Schijndel, een agrarisch referentiegebied en een natuurreferentiegebied. Daarbij zijn …

Beekdallandschappen staan onder druk door klimaatverandering, ontwatering en intensief landgebruik, met droogte, wateroverlast en spanningen tussen landbouw, natuur en waterbeheer als gevolg. Dit onderzoek, in opdracht van HAS Green Academy en de Natuurverdubbelaars, richt zich op het stroomgebied van …

Though the problem of water risks is growing and becoming more evident, there is a lack of structured information about how these risks are managed through the certification process. While there are certain credits dedicated to managing water risks and implementing measures in regard to them in the …

Permeable pavements are implemented at more than thousand locations enabling rainfall infiltration and evapotranspiration of stormwater in The Netherlands. However, the efficiency has not been extensively tested. Therefore, research is conducted using a full-scale infiltration test (FSIT) method to measure …

Abstract. The accelerating energy transition requires a well-trained workforce capable of im-plementing innovative building technologies and renewable energy systems. However, em-ployees in the construction and HVAC installation sectors often lack access to up-to-date train-ing due to high workloads, …
