Abstract
Deze GEO-2000 studie naar alternatief beleid voor
Europa en Centraal Azie is gericht op energie als een belangrijke kracht
achter milieuproblemen in de hele regio. De studie heeft betrekking op
klimaatverandering, verzuring, zomersmog, stedelijke luchtverontreiniging en
het risico op dodelijke ongevallen door kerncentrales. De analyse omvat de
effecten op biodiversiteit en volksgezondheid. De centrale vraag is wat er
kan worden bereikt met gematigde maatregelen, en of dat voldoende is.
Soortgelijke rapporten zijn in het kader van GEO-2000 ook opgesteld voor
regio-specifieke problemen elders op de wereld. Dit rapport bevat de
algemene methode-beschrijving daarvoor.
The GEO-2000 study into alternative policy options for Europe and Central Asia focuses on energy use as an important driver for environmental problems across the region. The problems analyzed are climate change, acidification, summer smog, urban air pollution and risks of reactor accidents associated with nuclear power generation. The analysis includes the effects on biodiversity and population health. It considers the question of what can be achieved by moderate measures, and wheter this will be enough. Similar Geo-2000 region-specific studies on alternative policies have been compiled other world regions. This report outliners the general methodology for these reports.
