Addressing the climate change sustainable development nexus: the role of multi-stakeholder partnerships

Pinkse, Jonatan; Kolk, Ans - HAL - 2012

While calls are being made to deal with the linkages between climate change and sustainable development to arrive at an integrated policy, concrete steps in this direction have been very limited so far. One of the possible instruments through which both issues may be approached simultaneously is...

Optimal growth with adaptation to climate change

Dumas, Patrice; Ha-Duong, Minh - HAL - 2013

efficiency losses and investment in adaptation measures, which can become sunk costs when climate changes even more. Simulations … remind that adaptation should be proactive rather than reactive: protection measures installed today are not designed for …

Transport, health and climate change: Deciding on the optimal policy

Cabantous, Laure; Chanel, Olivier; Vergnaud, Jean-Christophe - HAL - 2010

Transport generates many externalities, some related to atmospheric pollution. In this paper, we focus on two: greenhouse gases, and local pollution. In the search for optimal transport policies, these two externalities have usually been analysed separately. Here, we study them jointly, in a...

How long can excess pollution persist? The non-cooperative case

Hénin, Pierre-Yves; Schubert, Katheline - HAL - 2008

This paper describes a world composed of two (groups of) countries, which derive their utility from a polluting activity and from the enjoyment of a common environmental quality. The initial situation is both suboptimal and unsustainable: pollution leads to a continuous deterioration of...

Socio-economic Scenario Development for Climate Change Analysis

Kriegler, Elmar; O'Neill, Brian-C; Hallegatte, Stéphane; … - HAL - 2010

strategies for mitigating GHG emissions on a global scale. Analyses of climate change impacts, adaptation and vulnerabilities … socio-economic scenarios that would allow an integrated perspective on mitigation, adaptation and residual climate impacts …, adaptation and residual climate impacts may be assessed by locating the SSPs along the dimensions of challenges to mitigation and …

Adaptive Model-Predictive Climate Policies in a Multi-Country Setting

Bréchet, Thierry; Camacho, Carmen; Veliov, Vladimir M. - HAL - 2012

The purpose of this paper is to extend the use of integrated assessment models by defining rational policies based on predictive control and adaptive behavior. The paper begins with an review of the main IAMs and their use. Then the concept of Model Predictive Nash Equilibrium (MPNE) is...

Climate Variability and Internal Migration: A Test on Indian Inter-State Migration

Dallmann, Ingrid; Millock, Katrin - HAL - 2013

We match migration data from the Indian census with climate data to test the hypothesis of climate variability as a push factor for internal migration. The main contribution of the analysis is to introduce relevant meteorological indicators of climate variability, based on the standardized...

Impact of Climate Change on HeatWave Risk

Biard, Romain; Blanchet-Scalliet, Christophette; … - HAL - 2013

We study a new risk measure inspired from risk theory with a heat wave risk analysis motivation. We show that this risk measure and its sensitivities can be computed in practice for relevant temperature stochastic processes. This is in particular useful for measuring the potential impact of...

Models-as-Usual for Unusual Risks? On the Value of Catastrophic Climate Change

Bommier, Antoine; Lanz, Bruno; Zuber, Stéphane - HAL - 2014

We study the role of alternative intertemporal preference representations in a model of economic growth, stock pollutant and endogenous risk of catastrophic collapse. We contrast the traditional "discounted utility" model, which assumes risk neutrality with respect to intertemporal utility, with...

The environment and directed technical change : comment

Hourcade, Jean Charles; Pottier, Antonin; Espagne, Etienne - HAL - 2011

This paper discusses the growth model with environmental constraints recently presented in (Acemoglu et al., 2011) which focuses on the redirection of technical change by climate policies with research subsidies and a carbon tax. First, Acemoglu et al.'s model and chosen parameters yield...
