Workshop on Integrated Modelling of Nitrogen

28-30 November 2007 at IIASA, Laxenburg, Austria

Nitrogen is important to many environmental effects. In some cases nitrogen emissions are the key driver of effects (e.g. terrestrial and coastal eutrophication, nitrous oxide emissions), while in many other situations nitrogen represents a key contributor exacerbating a wider problem. In this way, the central role of nitrogen can appear hidden, even though it actually underpins many transboundary pollution problems.

The main objective of this workshop is to explore the possibilities for a holistic approach of nitrogen, the framework that is needed for such an approach, the integrated assessment modelling approaches that are available to include nitrogen and to define the necessary future developments. The developments will be directed towards a proposal for a possible integrated nitrogen approach within the revision of the Gothenburg Protocol.
