This paper investigates the potential contribution of forestry management in meeting a CO2 stabilization policy of 550 … models. An energy-economy-climate model for the study of climate policies is linked with a detailed forestry model through an … iterative procedure to provide the optimal abatement strategy. Results show that forestry is a determinant abatement option and …

The carbon mitigation literature has separately considered using forests to store carbon and as a source of bioenergy. In this paper, we look at both options to reach a 2°C mitigation target. This paper combines the global forest model, GTM, with the IAM WITCH model to study the optimal use of...

Agriculture and forestry play an important role in emitting and storing greenhouse gases. For an efficient and cost …-effective climate policy it is therefore important to explicitly include land use, land use change, and forestry (LULUCF) in economy …-climate models. This paper gives an overview and assessment of existing approaches to include land use, land-use change, and forestry …

The aim of the paper is to present evidence that China and India are, and will remain, two very different actors in international negotiations to control global warming. We base our conclusions on historical data and on scenarios until 2050. The Business-as-Usual scenario (BaU) is compared to...

This paper uses Lorenz Curve and Gini Index with adjustment to per capita historical cumulative emission and constructs Carbon Gini Index to measure inequality in climate change area. The analysis using Carbon Gini Index shows that 70% of carbon space in the atmosphere has been used for unequal...

International carbon offsets have been promoted since the Kyoto Protocol and an increasing number of countries have implemented or proposed cap-and-trade schemes with international trading, even though with quantitative or qualitative restrictions. Those limits reflect the trade-off between...
