The "Doomsday" effect in climate policies : why is the present decade so crucial to tackling the climate challenge?
Perrissin Fabert, Baptiste; Espagne, Etienne; Pottier, … - 2012
Despite growing scientific evidence that passing a 2°C temperature increase may trigger tipping points in climate dynamics, most Integrated Assessment Models (IAM) based on Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA) with smooth quadratic damage functions are unable to account for the possibility of strong...

Climate policies : a burden or a gain?
Bréchet, Thierry; Tulkens, Henry - 2013
That climate policies are costly is evident and therefore often creates major fears. But the alternative (no action) also has a cost. Mitigation costs and damages incurred depend on what the climate policies are; moreover, they are substitutes. This brings climate policies naturally in the realm...

Climate policies and nationally determined contributions : reconciling the needed ambition with the political economy
Vogt-Schilb, Adrien; Hallegatte, Stéphane - 2017
Countries have pledged to stabilize global warming at a 1.5 to 2°C increase. Either target requires reaching net zero emissions before the end of the century, which implies a major transformation of the economic system. This paper reviews the literature on how policymakers can design climate...
