Does the Clean Development Mechanism have a viable future?
Hagem, Cathrine; Holtsmark, Bjart - 2009
developing countries (the Clean Development Mechanism, CDM). Since the developing countries have so far not been willing to … accept binding emission commitments, the CDM has been the only mechanism available for ensuring emission-abatement measures … in developing countries. We argue that the CDM is not an efficient tool for achieving deep cuts in global emissions and …

A Kantian approach to sustainable development indicators for climate change
Greaker, Mads; Stoknes, Per Espen; Alfsen, Knut H.; … - 2012
Agenda 21 required countries to develop and regularly update a national set of indicators for sustainable development. Several countries now have such sets also including separate indicators for climate change. Some of these indicators typically report global concentration of green house gases...

Affluence and emission trade-offs: Evidence from Indonesian household carbon footprint
Irfany, M. Iqbal - 2014
The objectives of this study are to analyze the household carbon footprint pattern in Indonesia and to analyze the determinants of the growing carbon footprint in this emerging economy. To measure the household emissions, we combine national input-output, emission database to generate sectoral...

Climate Change and the Ethiopian Economy: A Computable General Equilibrium Analysis
Gebreegziabher, Zenebe; Stage, Jesper; Mekonnen, Alemu; … - 2011
This paper analyses the economic impacts of climate change on Ethiopia’s agriculture using a countrywide computable general equilibrium model. The impacts on agriculture are based on results from a Ricardian model where current (and future) agricultural production is analyzed as a function of...

REDD in Design: Assessment of Planned First-Generation Activities in Indonesia
Myers Madeira, Erin - 2009
Much of the guidance about potential impacts of reduce emissions from deforestation and degradation (REDD) speculates how efforts would be implemented and draws lessons from other mechanisms, such as payments for ecosystem services (PES). However, with few REDD activities underway, little...

Energy and Carbon Dynamics at Advanced Stages of Development: An Analysis of the U.S. States, 1960–1999
Aldy, Joseph E. - 2006
This paper explores the relationships among economic development, energy consumption, and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by focusing on a set of advanced economies, the U.S. states. Energy consumption and emissions grew 50–60 percent on average over the 1960–1999 period. The states’ per...

Divergence in State-Level Per Capita Carbon Dioxide Emissions
Aldy, Joseph - 2006
Decisionmakers considering policies to mitigate climate change will benefit from information about current and future distributions of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Examining the emissions dynamics of advanced economies that have experienced income convergence could provide insights about how...

The Case for Intensity Targets
Pizer, William - 2005
While the rest of the world has pursued absolute emissions limits for greenhouse gases, the Bush administration has proposed an alternative policy formulation based, among other things, on reducing emissions intensity—that is, emissions per dollar of real gross domestic product. Critics of...

Per Capita Carbon Dioxide Emissions: Convergence or Divergence?
Aldy, Joseph - 2005
Understanding and considering the distribution of per capita carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions is important in designing international climate change proposals and incentives for participation. I evaluate historic international emissions distributions and forecast future distributions to assess...
