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...

There are two questions to be considered: a) to which extent the type of framing which may be appropriate for scientific explorations of some issues can also be relevant in a decisionmaking context, in which achieving an agreement among stakeholders is the key problem? b) what is the practical...

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 change efects is complex. One way to deal with this complexity is by …

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...

We describe a method to represent the results of climate simulation models with analogues. An analogue to a city A is a … city B whose climate today represents A's simulated future climate. Climates were characterized and compared non … climate of 12 European cities at the end of the century under an A2 climate change scenario. We used two datasets produced …

Many economic sectors, like housing or transportation, are exposed to climate and likely to suffer efficiency losses … when climate changes. The global economy is far from dematerialized yet, these sectors represent a significant fraction of … efficiency losses and investment in adaptation measures, which can become sunk costs when climate changes even more. Simulations …

This paper uses the EMF27 scenarios to explore the role of renewable energy (RE) in climate change mitigation … most important long-term mitigation option for power supply. Wind energy is competitive even without climate policy …, whereas the prospects of solar photovoltaics (PV) are highly contingent on the ambitiousness of climate policy. Bioenergy is …
