. In this paper, we look at both options to reach a 2°C mitigation target. This paper combines the global forest model, GTM …, forest carbon storage dominates. However, when carbon prices pass $235/tCO2, wood bioenergy with CCS becomes increasingly …

This paper proposed a methodological framework for the assessment of carbon stocks and the development and identification of land use, land use change and land management scenarios, whereby enhancing carbon sequestration synergistically increases biodiversity, the prevention of land degradation...

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-economy-climate model for the study of climate policies is linked with a detailed forestry model through an …

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 …

Quantitative models for climate policy modeling differ in the production structure used and in the sizes of the elasticities of substitution. The empirical foundation for both is generally lacking. This paper estimates the parameters of two-level CES production functions with capital, labour and...

Policies aimed at reducing emissions from fossil fuels may increase climate damages. This 'Green Paradox' emerges if resource owners increase near-term extraction in fear of stricter future policy measures. Hans-Werner Sinn (2008) showed that the paradox occurs when increasing resource taxes are...

The scientific community is now developing a new set of scenarios, referred to as Shared Socio-economic Pathways (SSPs) to replace the SRES scenarios. To be used to investigate adaptation and mitigation, SSPs need to be contrasted along two axes: challenges to mitigation, and challenges to...

Funding adaptation requires adequate governance and there are different ways to organise and channel the funds to where it is most efficient and most necessary. This paper investigates this issue and studies the practical implementation of a development under conditionality, namely...

The Development Marketplace 2009 focused on adaptation to climate change. This paper identifies lessons from the Marketplace and assesses their implications for adaptation support. Our findings are based on: statistical tabulation of all proposals; in-depth qualitative and quantitative analysis...
