Global Climate Policy Architecture and Political Feasibility : Specific Formulas and Emission Targets to Attain 460 ppm CO2 Concentrations
Bosetti, Valentina; Frankel, Jeffrey A. - 2014
Three gaps in the Kyoto Protocol most badly need to be filled: The absence of emission targets extending far into the future, the absence of participation by the United States, China, and other developing countries, and the absence of reason to think that members will abide by commitments. To be...

Environmental Kuznets Curves for Carbon Emissions : A Critical Survey
Aslanidis, Nektarios - 2013
The empirical finding of an inverse U-shaped relationship between per capita income and pollution, the so-called Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC), suggests that as countries experience economic growth, environmental deterioration decelerates and thus becomes less of an issue. Focusing on the...

The Role of Forests as Carbon Sinks : Land-Use and Carbon Accounting
Rosa, Renato; Costa-Duarte, Clara; Cunha-e-Sa, Maria … - 2014
The use of forests as carbon sinks is examined by introducing carbon sequestration benefits’ accounting in a multi-vintage land allocation model. Following the IPCC, three carbon accounting methods are considered. We compare the results in each case with those without carbon sequestration, as...

Abatement and Transaction Costs of Carbon-Sink Projects Involving Smallholders
Cacho, Oscar - 2015
Agroforestry projects have the potential to help mitigate global warming by acting as sinks for greenhouse gasses. However, participation in carbon-sink projects may be constrained by high costs. This problem may be particularly severe for projects involving smallholders in developing countries....

Carbon Sequestration With Reforestations and Biodiversity - Scenic Values
Caparros, Alejandro - 2015
This paper presents an optimal control model to analyze reforestations with two different species, including commercial values, carbon sequestration and biodiversity or scenic values. We solve the model qualitatively with general functions and discuss the implications of partial or total...

Forestry and the Carbon Market Response to Stabilize Climate
Tavoni, Massimo - 2015
This paper investigates the potential contribution of forestry management in meeting a CO2 stabilization policy of 550 … could lead to significantly lower policy costs if included. Linking forestry management to the carbon market has the … potential to delay the policy burden, and is expected to reduce the price of carbon of 40% by 2050. Biological sequestration …
