A Modelling Framework for Addressing the Synergies Between Global Conventions Through Land Use Changes : Carbon Sequestration, Biodiversity Conservation, Prevention of Land Degrada...
Ponce-Hernandez, Raul - 2015
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...

The Kyoto Protocol and the Effect of Existing and Planned Measures in the Agricultural and Forestry Sector in the EU25
Giupponi, Carlo - 2015
Agricultural and forestry activities cover the majority of the EU territory: in particular agriculture is the main land … between 30 and 60%, whereas forestry is the second. The role of agriculture as both a source of and as a sink of greenhouse … conditions in Europe. The effectiveness of the policy measures adopted so far in the agro-forestry sector to meet the Kyoto …

Competitiveness and Leakage Concerns and Border Carbon Adjustments
Zhang, ZhongXiang - 2012
This paper provides a review of the literature on competitiveness and leakage concerns associated with differentiated climate abatement commitments among countries. The literature reviewed is not exhausted, but it is sufficient to provide a balanced view of both academics and policy circles....

A Spatial Econometric Analysis of Land Use Efficiency in Large and Small Municipalities
Guastella, Gianni - 2017
We estimate the relationship between urban spatial expansion and its socio-economic determinants in Lombardy, the most urbanised region of Italy (and one of the most urbanized of the European Union), at the municipality level. Test results suggest that this relationship varies significantly...

Modeling Linkages between Climate Policy and Land Use : An Overview
van der Werf, Edwin; Peterson, Sonja M. - 2007
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 …

Carbon Storage and Bioenergy : Using Forests for Climate Mitigation
Favero, Alice - 2016
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...

The Impact of Climate Change on Agriculture : Nonlinear Effects and Aggregation Bias in Ricardian Models of Farm Land Values
Fezzi, Carlo - 2013
Ricardian (hedonic) analyses of the impact of climate change on farmland values typically assume additively separable effects of temperature and precipitation. Model estimation is implemented on data aggregated across counties or large regions. We investigate the potential bias induced by such...

Intermediate Input Linkage and Carbon Leakage
Zhang, Zengkai - 2017
Climate regulations tend to target energy intensive sectors whose products are widely used in industrial production as intermediate inputs, such as electricity, and the carbon abatement may be partially offset by intermediate input-led leakage. This paper aims to examine the impact of...

Carbon-Based Border Tax Adjustments and China's International Trade : Analysis Based on a Dynamic Computable General Equilibrium Model
Tang, Ling - 2013
With large shares in global trade and carbon emissions, China's international trade is supposed to be significantly affected by the proposed carbon-based border tax adjustments (BTAs). This paper examines the impacts of BTAs imposed by the USA and EU on China's international trade, based on a...
