In the absence of significant greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation, many analysts project that atmospheric concentrations of species identified for control in the Kyoto protocol could exceed 1000 ppm (carbon-dioxide-equivalent) by 2100 from the current levels of about 435 ppm. This could lead to...

This paper investigates the potential contribution of forestry management in meeting a CO2 stabilization policy of 550 ppmv by 2100. In order to assess the optimal response of the carbon market to forest sequestration we couple two global models. An energy-economyclimate model for the study of...

This work develops a framework for the analysis at the macro-level of the relationship between adaptation and mitigation policies. The FEEM-RICE growth model with stock pollution, endogenous Ramp;D investment and emission abatement is enriched with a planned-adaptation module where a defensive...

This report develops a climate change economic impact assessment, applying the Intertemporal Computable Equilibrium System (ICES) model developed at CMCC. The inputs for the exercise derive from the updated estimation of climate change impacts conducted under GEMINA WP6.2.9 P55. They refer to...

Future energy demand will be affected by changes in prices and income, but also by other factors, like temperature levels. This paper draws upon an econometric study, disentangling the contribution of temperature in the determination of the annual regional demand for energy goods. Combining...

Southeast Asia is at a time one of the most vulnerable region to the impacts of a changing climate, with millions of its inhabitants still trapped in extreme poverty without access to energy and employed in climate-sensitive sectors, and, potentially, one of the world's biggest contributors to...

A Climate Change Damage Function (CCDF) is a reduced form relationship linking macroeconomic aggregates (e.g., potential GDP) to climate indicators (e.g., average temperature levels). This function is used in a variety of studies about climate change impacts and policy analysis. However, despite...

Modellers have examined a wide array of ideal-world scenarios for regulation of greenhouse gases. In this ideal world, all countries limit emissions from all economic sectors; regulations are implemented by intelligent, well-informed forward-looking agents; all abatement options, such as new...

the European carbon market in the context of a EU policy aiming to reducing EU CO2 emissions by 20% wrt 1990 in 2020 using … unilateral European climate change policy. This is good news for the EU, but not necessarily for REDD regions. Indeed we show … that REDD revenues are not sufficient to compensate REDD regions for a less leakage-affected and more competitive EU in …
