We use recent developments in the empirics of comparative case studies to analyze the effect of binding emission targets under the Kyoto Protocol on the development of CO2 emissions of seven major Annex B countries. In particular, we investigate whether committing to a specific greenhouse gas...

Many poor countries are ill-adapted to the current leave alone a changing future climate, because they lack the necessary financial means to invest in efficient and costeffective safeguarding measures. International endeavours to fund institutions, such as the Green Climate Fund, to provide...

We consider the problem of efficient emission abatement in a multi polluter setting, where agents are located along a river in which net emissions accumulate and induce negative externalities to downstream riparians. Assuming a cooperative transferable utility game, we seek welfare distributions...

Die wissenschaftliche Ausgangslage ist eindeutig: Der menschengemachte Klimawandel führt so lange zu einer Erhöhung der durchschnittlichen globalen Oberflächentemperatur bis globale Netto-Nullemissionen erreicht werden. Dies hat direkte klimapolitische Konsequenzen: (i) Die relevante Frage...
