English Abstract The following subjects are covered in this report: -
The interlinkages between technical and social aspects of solutions to the
greenhouse effect. How can these be conceptualised? As an alternative for
the "conventional approach" an interactive system approach is presented. -
Sustainable development ; which solutions to the greenhouse effect can be
considered sustainable? Different aspects of sustainable development are
discussed and criteria for the sustainability of solutions are developed. -
What are research area related to (sustainable) solutions to the greenhouse
effect? In looking for research area on sustainable solutions to the
greenhouse effect the interactive system approach is used. In this approach
4 subsystems are discerned: the climate system, the production system, the
socio-cultural system and the political system (policy making). Solutions
to the greenhouse effect are seen as an interplay of changes in these
subsystems. - A priority setting for research on sustainable solutions.
With the criteria for sustainability the different possibilities for
research are clustered in the research area and a first proposal for
priority setting of these research area is formulated. - The implementation
of the proposed priorities. Some possible drawbacks in the implementation
of the proposed priorities are discussed.
