La Stern Review : le parti pris de l’action face au risque climatique
De Perthuis, Christian - Université Paris-Dauphine (Paris IX) - 2007
The Stern Review constitutes today the most complete and didactic synthesis of the economics of climate change. Despite appearances, it is not, however, a simple reference manual. Its most attractive feature is the author’s commitment to action in the face of climactic risk. The report’s...

Limiting greenhouse gas emissions: is the Cancun agreement enough?
Monjon, Stéphanie - Université Paris-Dauphine (Paris IX) - 2012
The objective set by the IPPC of limiting the increase in average global temperature to +2°C compared with the pre–industrial era is now accepted by all concerned. This ambitious objective was recognised at the Copenhagen Conference in 2009 and confirmed at Cancun in 2010. There are still no...

Can we reconcile different capacity adequacy policies with an integrated electricity market?
Finon, Dominique - Université Paris-Dauphine (Paris IX) - 2013
In the present European Union debate, many consider capacity remuneration mechanisms (CRM) as useless and, if they are eventually considered as useful, there is a necessity of total alignment of capacity adequacy policies in time. We develop an opposite position. The adoption of CRM is a...

Air traffic energy efficiency differs from place to place : new results from a macro-level approach
Chèze, Benoit; Gastineau, Pascal; Chevallier, Julien - Université Paris-Dauphine (Paris IX) - 2012
This article analyses energy efficiency coefficients and their evolution in the air transport sector. The proposed ’macro-level’ methodology allows obtaining energy efficiency coefficients and their growth rates (corresponding to the evolution of energy gains) from 1983 to 2006 for eight...

Readiness and Avoided deforestation policies: on the use of the REDD fund
Delacote, Philippe; Simonet, Gabriela - Université Paris-Dauphine (Paris IX) - 2013
The first phase of the REDD+ mechanism consists of helping countries to improve their capacity to carry out national forest inventories, notably to assess land-use changes and forest carbon stocks and fluxes. However, there might be some links between the funding of this first phase and the...

The European CO2 emissions market: what has been learned after one year ?
De Perthuis, Christian - Université Paris-Dauphine (Paris IX) - 2006
To prepare for the first Kyoto Protocol commitment period (from 2008 to 2012) it decided to set up a European market for trading carbon dioxide by 2005. The volumes traded on this market and the solidity of its institutional foundation rapidly made it the epicentre of the global carbon market....

The new energy crisis : Climate, Economics and Geopolitics
Chevalier, Jean-Marie - Université Paris-Dauphine (Paris IX) - 2009
Global warming reveals that the current evolution of the world consumption is on an unsustainable path. Humankind's insatiable appetite for energy has sparked a new crisis. In a world where climate change has become a proven reality, there lies a deep uncertainty about the physical, economic and...
