Quantifying non-cooperative climate engineering

Emmerling, Johannes; Tavoni, Massimo - 2017

The mismatch between actions to combat climate change, which are based on voluntary national initiatives of limited effort, and the recognition of the importance of global warming is growing. Climate engineering via solar radiation management has been proposed as a possible complement to...

Global climate policy architecture and political feasibility: specific formulas and emission targets to attain 460 ppm CO2 concentrations

Bosetti, Valentina; Frankel, Jeffrey A. - 2009

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.

Effects of the CDM on poverty eradication and global climate protection

Rübbelke, Dirk T. G.; Rive, Nathan - 2008

In an impure public good model we analyze the effects of CDM transfers on poverty as well as on the global climate protection level. We construct an analytical model of a developing and an industrialized region, both of which independently seek to maximize their utility - a function of private...

Adaptation can help mitigation : an integrated approach to post-2012 climate policy

Bosello, Francesco; Carraro, Carlo; De Cian, Enrica - 2011

The latest round of international negotiations in Copenhagen led to a set of commitments on emission reductions which are unlikely to stabilise global warming below or around 2°C. As a consequence, in the absence of additional ambitious policy measures, adaptation will be needed to address...

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...
