Boosting African cities' resilience to climate change : The role of green spaces
Anderson, Brilé. - 2022
The next few decades will bring an era of rapid urbanisation and unprecedented climate stress in African cities. Green spaces can boost the resilience of cities to heat waves, floods, landslides, and even coastal erosion, in addition, to enhancing sustainability by improving air quality,...

Publication bias in measuring climate sensitivity
Havránková, Zuzana; Reckova, Dominika - 2015
We present a meta-regression analysis of the relation between the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and changes in global temperature. The relation is captured by "climate sensitivity", which measures the response to a doubling of carbon dioxide concentrations compared to...

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...

The short-term population health effects of weather and pollution : implications of climate change
Ziebarth, Nicolas R.; Schmitt, Maike; Karlsson, Martin - 2013
This study comprehensively assesses the immediate effects of extreme weather conditions and high concentrations of ambient air pollution on population health. For Germany and the years 1999 to 2008, we link the universe of all 170 million hospital admissions, along with all 8 million deaths,...

Climate engineering under deep uncertainty and heterogeneity
Emmerling, Johannes; Manoussi, Vassiliki; Xepapadeas, … - 2016
Climate Engineering, and in particular Solar Radiation Management (SRM) has become a widely discussed climate policy option to study in recent years. However, its potentially strategic nature and unforeseen side effects provide major policy and scientific challenges. We study the role of the SRM...

Cooperation and competition in climate change policies : mitigation and climate engineering when countries are asymmetric
Manoussi, Vassiliki; Xepapadeas, Anastasios - 2014
We study a dynamic game of climate policy design in terms of emissions and solar radiation management (SRM) involving two heterogeneous regions or countries. Countries emit greenhouse gasses (GHGs), and can block incoming radiation by unilateral SRM activities, thus reducing global temperature....

Pass-through of CO2 emission costs to hourly electricity prices in Germany
Hintermann, Beat - 2014
I estimate the level of emissions cost pass-through to hourly wholesale electricity prices in Germany, based on spot market data. I control for contemporaneous shocks to demand and supply by constructing a detailed supply curve for fossil generation, and intersecting it with residual demand for...
