On Setting Near-term Climate Policy while the Dust Begins to Settle: The Legacy of the Stern Review

Yohe, Gary W.; Tol, Richard S.J.; Murphy, Dean - Forschungsstelle Nachhaltige Umweltentwicklung (ZMK), … - 2007

We review the explosion of commentary that has followed the release of the Stern Review: The Economics of Climate Change, and agree with most of what has been written. The Review is right when it argues on economic grounds for immediate intervention to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases, but...

Adaptation to Sea-level Rise in the People’s Republic of China – Assessing the Institutional Dimension of Alternative Organisational Frameworks

Lau, Maren A. - Forschungsstelle Nachhaltige Umweltentwicklung (ZMK), … - 2006

Global sea-levels are rising due to global warming. Major impacts on the world’s coasts are sand beach erosion, salination of ground water, and inundation. Adaptation is the only option to address these future threats as the mitigation of CO2 emissions is not capable of preventing sea-level...

Impact of international emission reduction on energy and forestry sector of Indonesia

Susandi, Armi; Tol, Richard S.J. - Forschungsstelle Nachhaltige Umweltentwicklung (ZMK), … - 2004

Indonesia has large potential to mitigate emissions in the forestry sector. International climate policy would slightly increase … the deforestation rate, mainly because of more rapid economic growth. Indonesia would gain from the sale of emission … the year 2100. We included coal as a tradable good. In Indonesia, oil imports will increase while coal exports will …

Possible Economic Impacts of a Shutdown of the Thermohaline Circulation: an Application of FUND

Link, P. Michael; Tol, Richard S.J. - Forschungsstelle Nachhaltige Umweltentwicklung (ZMK), … - 2004

Climate change can lead to a substantial reduction of the strength of the thermohaline circulation in the world oceans. This is often thought to have severe consequences particularly on the North Atlantic region and Northern and Western Europe. The integrated assessment model FUND is used to...

EXCHANGE RATES AND CLIMATE CHANGE: AN APPLICATION OF FUND

Tol, Richard S.J. - Forschungsstelle Nachhaltige Umweltentwicklung (ZMK), … - 2004

As economic and emissions scenarios assume convergence of per capita incomes, they are sensitivity to the exchange rate used for international comparison. Particularly, developing countries grow slower with a purchasing power exchange rate than with a market exchange rate. Different exchange...

SPATIAL ANALYSIS AS TOOL FOR SENSITIVITY ASSESSMENT OF SEA LEVEL RISE IMPACTS ON MARTINIQUE

Schleupner, Christine - Forschungsstelle Nachhaltige Umweltentwicklung (ZMK), … - 2005

Sea level in the Caribbean region is expected to rise approximately10-20 cm by 2025. In some areas of Martinique coastal erosion and saltwater intrusion are already a severe problem. Because the island has a mountainous character, the majority of its settlements are situated along the coast...

Climate Change Impacts on Global Agriculture

Calzadilla, Alvaro; Rehdanz, Katrin; Betts, Richard; … - Forschungsstelle Nachhaltige Umweltentwicklung (ZMK), … - 2010

Based on predicted changes in the magnitude and distribution of global precipitation, temperature and river flow under the IPCC SRES A1B and A2 scenarios, this study assesses the potential impacts of climate change and CO2 fertilization on global agriculture. The analysis uses the new version of...

International inequity aversion and the social cost of carbon

Tol, Richard S.J. - Forschungsstelle Nachhaltige Umweltentwicklung (ZMK), … - 2009

I define the rate of inequity aversion, distinguishing between the pure rate and the consumption rate. I measure the rate of aversion to inequality in consumption as expressed in the development aid given by rich countries to poor ones between 1965 and 2005. There is an ambiguous relationship...

A GENERAL EQUILIBRIUM ANALYSIS OF CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTS ON TOURISM

Berrittella, Maria; Bigano, Andrea; Roson, Roberto; … - Forschungsstelle Nachhaltige Umweltentwicklung (ZMK), … - 2004

This paper studies the economic implications of climate-change-induced variations in tourism demand, using a world CGE model. The model is first re-calibrated at some future years, obtaining hypothetical benchmark equilibria, which are subsequently perturbed by shocks, simulating the effects of...

THE IMPACT OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON TOURISM AND RECREATION

Hamilton, Jacqueline M.; Tol, Richard S.J. - Forschungsstelle Nachhaltige Umweltentwicklung (ZMK), … - 2004

Tourism is one of the largest and fastest growing economic sectors. Tourism is obviously related to climate, as tourists prefer spending time outdoors and travel to enjoy the sun or landscape. It is therefore surprising that the tourism literature pays little attention to climate and climatic...
