De Nederlandse sectie van de Europese vereniging voor duurzame energie
Het kabinet trekt het meeste extra geld uit voor defensie. Ook gaat er extra geld naar onderwijs, klimaat, natuur, wonen en infrastructuur. Keuzes die de brede welvaart in de toekomst kunnen versterken.
Nederland heeft een grote kloof te overbruggen om in 2040 in de buurt te komen van de Europese ambitie van 90 procent minder Europese broeikasgasemissie dan in 1990.
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 14 September 2026; doi:10.1038/s41558-026-02740-8 Marine carbon dioxide removal must advance through rigorous, transparent science, but caution cannot become paralysis. With billions of tonnes of carbon removal likely to be needed each year, we need to test promising approaches responsibly while uncertainty remains.
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 11 September 2026; doi:10.1038/s41558-026-02732-8 Heatwaves threaten both physical and mental health, yet physical heat exposure and emotional responses often diverge. The study shows that 84.9% of Chinese cities experienced severe emotional shocks, compared with 52.1% facing severe heat exposure, driven by socioeconomic and environmental factors.
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 11 September 2026; doi:10.1038/s41558-026-02752-4 Climate extremes influence migration, but their long-term and compounding impacts are understudied. The authors show that associations between climate extremes and migration vary by hazard type, timing, the occurrence of consecutive events and local socioeconomic conditions.
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 10 September 2026; doi:10.1038/s41558-026-02743-5 Global warming and urban development combine to shape the temperatures people experience in cities. Here I revisit a 2016 attribution study of urban warming in China and consider what its legacy reveals about urban climate knowledge, responsibility and action.
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 10 September 2026; doi:10.1038/s41558-026-02733-7 The authors consider greening trends and interannual variability, linked to ecosystem stability, in dryland ecosystems across 40 years (1982–2020). They show persistent greening yet increased interannual variability, with the latter driven by increasing rainfall sensitivity.
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 09 September 2026; doi:10.1038/s41558-026-02738-2 How much ectothermic animals can rely on plastic adjustments in their physiology remains a central challenge when forecasting climate change impacts. Here, I look back on a 2015 paper that examined the role of physiological plasticity in thermal performance and discuss subsequent research and broader conservation…

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 08 September 2026; doi:10.1038/s41558-026-02737-3 The authors analyse the impacts of the adoption of genetically engineered crops in the USA over 40 years. They show that genetically engineered crop adoption has led to some increases in yield and reduced yield volatility, while also acting as an adaptation against climate change-driven northward…

Op 26 juni presenteerde het kabinet-Jetten een nieuw maatregelenpakket voor landbouw, natuur en stikstof. Volgens het PBL kan met dit pakket een belangrijke stap gezet worden om de stikstofuitstoot te verlagen en de natuur in Nederland te verbeteren.
De voorgestelde aanpassingen van de Europese Commissie aan het EU-emissiehandelssysteem (EU-ETS) kunnen tot 2050 leiden tot 33 procent meer CO₂-uitstoot in de energie-intensieve industrie, elektriciteitsproductie, scheepvaart en luchtvaart, zo blijkt uit een analyse van het Centraal

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 02 September 2026; doi:10.1038/s41558-026-02721-x As the Great Barrier Reef reels from successive devastating bleaching events, researchers are working to regenerate small areas with corals selected or manipulated for better heat tolerance.
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 02 September 2026; doi:10.1038/s41558-026-02742-6 Climate change is shifting the world into new ecological states, prompting discussions of how humans and species will deal with this novelty, including how mitigation and adaptation will ultimately lead to further change.
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 02 September 2026; doi:10.1038/s41558-026-02734-6 The authors consider factual and counterfactual scenarios to isolate the role of climate change in the decline of suitable habitats for European bumblebees (1901–2019). They show reductions of 5% on average, and up to 19% locally, with high-altitude gains partially offsetting losses.
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 24 August 2026; doi:10.1038/s41558-026-02731-9 Assessing 9,809 freshwater fish species globally, this study shows risk to a high proportion of species in the tropics, and severe extremes in non-tropical regions. Under high emissions, gradual warming drives abrupt exposure, with 63% of species facing accelerating thermal fragmentation by 2099.
