Carbon Capture and Sequestration: How Much Does this Uncertain Option Affect Near-Term Policy Choices?

Bosetti, Valentina; Gilotte, Laurent - 2005

One of the main issues in the climate policy agenda, the timing of abatement efforts, hinges on the uncertainties of climate change risks and technological evolution. We use a stochastic optimization framework and jointly explore these two features. First, we embed in the model future potential...

A Modelling Framework for Addressing the Synergies between Global Conventions through Land Use Changes: Carbon Sequestration, Biodiversity Conservation, Prevention of Land Degradat...

Ponce-Hernandez, Raul - 2007

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...

Impact of Climate Policy on the Basque Economy

González, Mikel; Dellink, Rob - 2005

In this paper we analyze the economic effects of CO2 emission reductions in the Basque Country (Spain) using an applied general equilibrium (AGE) model with specific attention to environment-energy-economy interactions. Environmental policy is implemented through a system of tradable pollution...

Governance and Environmental Policy Integration in Europe: What Can We learn from the EU Emission Trading Scheme?

Catenacci, Michela; Buchner, Barbara; Sgobbi, Alessandra - 2007

The European Union Emission Trading System (EU ETS) is a landmark environmental policy, representing the world's first … participation and flexible abatement strategies make the EU ETS a powerful instrument of cross sectoral integration of environmental … governance. The EU ETS shows characteristics of the decision making processes and institutions engaged, the tools and instruments …

The Effect of Climate Change and Extreme Weather Events on Tourism

Bigano, Andrea; Goria, Alessandra; Hamilton, Jacqueline; … - 2005

Tourism is an industry of primary importance for the world economy. For some countries, tourism is the first source of income and foreign currency, and many local economies heavily depend on tourism. Tourists are sensitive to climate and to climate change, which will affect the relative...

An Analytic Hierarchy Process for The Evaluation of Transport Policies to Reduce Climate Change Impacts

Berrittella, Maria; Certa, A.; Enea, M.; Zito, P. - 2007

Transport is the sector with the fastest growth of greenhouse gases emissions, both in developed and in developing countries, leading to adverse climate change impacts. As the experts disagree on the occurrence of these impacts, by applying the analytic hierarchy process (AHP), we have faced the...

The amenity value of climate to German households

Rehdanz, Katrin; Maddison, David - 2004

This study uses the hedonic approach to measure the amenity value of climate in Germany. Unlike in earlier research separate hedonic wage and house price regressions are estimated for relatively small geographic areas and formal tests undertaken to determine whether the coefficients describing...

Mitigation and Solar Radiation Management in Climate Change Policies

Manousi, Vasiliki; Xepapadeas, Anastasios - 2013

We couple a spatially homogeneous energy balance climate model with an economic growth model which incorporates two potential policies against climate change: mitigation, which is the traditional policy, and geoengineering. We analyze the optimal policy mix of geoengineering and mitigation in...

Improving land-use modelling within CGE to assess forest-based mitigation potential and costs

Michetti, Melania; Parrado, Ramiro - 2012

We present a computable general equilibrium model properly modified to analyse the potential role of the European forestry sector within climate mitigation. Improvements on database and modelling frameworks allow accounting for land heterogeneity across and within regions and for land transfers...

Conceptualizing urban adaptation to climate change: Findings from an applied adaptation assessment framework

Johnson, Katie; Breil, Margaretha - 2012

Urban areas have particular sensitivities to climate change, and therefore adaptation to a warming planet represents a challenging new issue for urban policy makers in both the developed and developing world. Further to climate mitigation strategies implemented in various cities over the past 20...
