Hallegatte, Stéphane; Valentin, Przyluski; … - HAL - 2011
The impacts of climate change on human systems depend not only on the level of emissions but also on how inherently vulnerable these systems are to the changing climate. The large uncertainties over future development and structure of societies and economies mean that the assessment of climate...

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...

Overcoming inertia: insights from evolutionary economics into improved energy and climate policy
Lazaric, Nathalie; Maréchal, Kevin - HAL - 2010
The mainstream view in economics has been a key factor in designing climate policies. Given that the controversy over the “efficiency paradox” has shown that mainstream economics is not neutral in the way it deals with climate change, the purpose of this paper is to investigate what insights...

Compensating the dead? Yes we can!
Fleurbaey, Marc; Leroux, Marie-Louise; Ponthière, Grégory - HAL - 2010
