Carbon pricing under binding political constraints

Jenkins, Jesse D.; Karplus, Valerie J. - Joint Institute for Strategic Energy Analysis - 2016

The economic prescription for climate change is clear: price carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gas emissions to internalize climate damages. In practice, a variety of political economy constraints prevent the introduction of a carbon price equal to the full social cost of emissions. This...

Climate change and developing country interests : cases from the Zambezi River Basin

Arndt, Channing; Chinowsky, Paul; Fant, Charles; … - 2015

We consider the interplay of climate change impacts, global mitigation policies, and the interests of developing countries to 2050. Focusing on Malawi, Mozambique, and Zambia, we employ a structural approach to biophysical and economic modeling that incorporates climate uncertainty and allows...

An uncertainty approach to modelling climate change risk in South Africa

Cullis, James; Alton, Theresa; Arndt, Channing; … - 2015

This study represents the first attempt at an integrated approach to assessing the potential impacts of climate change on the national economy of South Africa via a number of (but not necessarily all) impact channels. The study focuses on outcomes by about 2050. The results show the multiple...

The impact of climate change on wind and solar resources in southern Africa

Fant, Charles; Schlosser, C. Adam - 2013

Climate change is an issue that requires global attention and co-operation. As climate science develops an understanding of changes to the future climate state, policy makers and engineering project planners beg to know what claims can be made on the subject with a reasonable level of...

Morocco's unique situation in the climate change arena : an analysis of climate forecasts and their link to agriculture

Ouraich, Ismail; Tyner, Wallace E. - 2014

Alterations in rainfall patterns and increasing temperatures due to climate change will most likely translate into yield reductions in desirable crops. In this particular context, the object of this paper is to lay down findings and results for projected yield impacts in Morocco using a...

Climate change and economic growth prospects for Malawi : an uncertainty approach

Arndt, Channing; Schlosser, Adam; Strzepek, Kenneth M.; … - 2014

Malawi confronts a development imperative in a context of rising temperatures and deep uncertainty about precipitation trends. We evaluate the implications of climate change for overall growth and development prospects to 2050. We focus on three impact channels: agriculture, road infrastructure,...

Implications of climate change for Ghana's economy

Arndt, Channing; Asante, Felix Ankomah; Thurlow, James - 2014

Long-run economic development in Ghana is potentially vulnerable to anthropogenic climate change given the country's dependence on rainfed agriculture, hydropower, and unpaved rural roads. We use a computable general equilibrium model, informed by detailed sector studies, to estimate the...

The impact of climate change on pastoral production systems : a study of climate variability and household adaptation strategies in southern Ethiopian rangelands

Berhanu, Wassie; Fekadu Beyene - 2014

This paper examines the determinants and implied economic impacts of climate change adaptation strategies in the context of traditional pastoralism. It is based on a household level survey in southern Ethiopian rangelands. Pastoralists' perception of climate change in the region is found to be...
