Summary

This booklet provides the reader with an extensive summary of the Dutch report on climate strategy, published in June 2006, by the Netherlands Scientific Council for Government Policy (known as the WRR in Dutch). The WRR is an advisory body, which regularly publishes reports. The council seeks to propose a critical, futureoriented re-appraisal of the assumptions that guide current policy strategies of the Dutch government.

The report on climate strategy was prepared by an internal working group at the WRR. The members of the working group were Prof. J.L.M. Pelkmans (Council member), P.A. van Driel, Dr. R.M.A. Jansweijer and Dr. D. Scheele (staff officers). In addition, W.C. Kersten and Prof. Dr. P. Winsemius were members of the project group in the initial phase of the project, while Messrs O. Klinkenberg and C. Veld contributed to the project as work in placement trainees.

External experts were consulted on a number of specific issues in the preperation stage. The working group would like to thank the following individuals for sharing their knowledge and expertise: Prof.J.C.J.M. van den Bergh (VU), M. Berk (MNP), H.C.Y.M. Bersee (VROM), Dr. E. Boeker (WBS), I. Breuers (NWO), J. Brinkhoff (EZ), Dr. W. ten Brinke (RIZA), Dr. J.J.C. Bruggink (ECN), Dr. J. Dronkers (RIKZ), Prof. T. van der Hagen (RID), B. Hanssen (AER), Prof. E.C. van Ierland (WUR), J.M. Pinkse (UVA), Prof. R. Rabbing (WUR), L.G. van Schaik (CEPS), Dr. S. Slingerland (CE), J. van der Sommen (NWP), Dr. R. Steur (EZ), J. Veraart (WUR), prof. J.M. Verschuren, A.M. Versteegh (NRG), L. Voogt (RIKZ), M.F.M. van Wortel (V&W) and R. Ybema (ECN).

Although the working group made grateful use of the knowledge of these experts, this report falls under the responsibility of the Council.

The WRR is very grateful to Julian Ross, who helped with the editorial and translation work needed to create the right context fot htis English language compilation.
