Over the last few decades, integrated assessment models (IAM) have provided insight into the relationship between climate change, economy, and climate policies. The limitations of these models in capturing uncertainty in climate parameters, heterogeneity in damages and policies, have given rise...

Emissions pricing to stabilize global climate

Bosetti, Valentina; Paltsev, Sergey V.; Reilly, John M.; … - 2011

In the absence of significant greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation, many analysts project that atmospheric concentrations of species identified for control in the Kyoto protocol could exceed 1000 ppm (carbon-dioxide-equivalent) by 2100 from the current levels of about 435 ppm. This could lead to...

Challenges and opportunities for integrated modeling of climate engineering

Tavoni, Massimo; Bosetti, Valentina; Shayegh, Soheil; … - 2017

The Paris Agreement has set stringent temperature targets to limit global warming to 2°C above preindustrial level, with efforts to stay well below 2°C. At the same time, its bottom-up approach with voluntary national contributions makes the implementation of these ambitious targets...

Global climate policy architecture and political feasibility: specific formulas and emission targets to attain 460 ppm CO2 concentrations

Bosetti, Valentina; Frankel, Jeffrey A. - 2009

Three gaps in the Kyoto Protocol most badly need to be filled: the absence of emission targets extending far into the future, the absence of participation by the United States, China, and other developing countries, and the absence of reason to think that members will abide by commitments. To be...

Delayed participation of developing countries to climate agreements: should action in the EU and US be postponed?

Bosetti, Valentina; Carraro, Carlo; Tavoni, Massimo - 2008

This paper analyses the cost implications for climate policy in developed countries if developing countries are unwilling to adopt measures to reduce their own GHG emissions. First, we assume that a 450 CO2 (550 CO2e) ppmv stabilisation target is to be achieved and that Non Annex1 (NA1)...

Linking reduced deforestation and a global carbon market : impacts on costs, financial flows, and technological innovation

Bosetti, Valentina; Lubowski, Ruben N.; Golub, Alexander; … - 2009

Discussions over tropical deforestation are currently at the forefront of climate change policy negotiations at national, regional, and international levels. This paper analyzes the effects of linking Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD) to a global market for...

Sustainable cooperation in global climate policy : specific formulas and emission targets to build on Copenhagen and Cancun

Bosetti, Valentina; Frankel, Jeffrey A. - 2011

We offer a framework to assign quantitative allocations of emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs), across countries, one budget period at a time. Under the two-part plan: (i) China, India, and other developing countries accept targets at Business as Usual (BAU) in the coming budget period, the...

Politics and economics of second-best regulation of greenhouse gases : the importance of regulatory credibility

Bosetti, Valentina; Victor, David G. - 2010

Modellers have examined a wide array of ideal-world scenarios for regulation of greenhouse gases. In this ideal world …”—which has a strikingly small impact on total world cost of carbon regulations if international trade in emission credits allows … another factor that analysts have largely ignored: credibility.

Priority for the worse off and the social cost of carbon

Adler, Matthew D.; Anthoff, David; Bosetti, Valentina; … - 2016

The social cost of carbon (SCC) is a monetary measure of the harms from carbon emission. Specifically, it is the reduction in current consumption that produces a loss in social welfare equivalent to that caused by the emission of a ton of CO2. The standard approach is to calculate the SCC using...
