Understanding the relationship between international trade and CO2 emissions is crucial for designing appropriate measures to address climate change. This article focuses on CO2 emissions as one of the trade flow determinants of the EU countries, along with other factors including remoteness,...

The purpose of this paper is to explore whether the 'Fit for 55' update of the European Union's CO₂ regulation is up to the task of fixing its past mistakes and putting Europe on course to reach net zero mobility by 2050, while also dealing with the new set of challenges that arises with the...

A method is presented for computing long-term greenhouse gas emission pathways for both industrial ("Annex B") countries and developing ("non-Annex B") countries. This method combines two main factors: (i) climate protection goals, in the form of targets for stabilising CO2 in the atmosphere,...

Die globale Klimapolitik befindet sich in einer Sackgasse. Während die Klimaforscher drastische Maßnahmen fordern, um die Emissionen von Klimagasen zu begrenzen, nimmt der Ausstoß dieser Gase zu. Wird die Entwicklung der Treibhausgasemissionen allein am Kohlendioxid gemessen, muss weltweit...

Die Abholzung der weltweiten Wälder ist nach der Verbrennung fossiler Brennstoffe die zweitgrößte anthropogene CO2-Quelle. Maßnahmen der UN, die unter dem Namen »REDD« zusammengefasst werden, sollen der Abholzung entgegenwirken. Der Beitrag beschreibt die Funktionsweise von REDD und gibt...

The rationale of voluntary corporate initiatives is often explained with anticipation of future regulation. We test this hypothesis for the Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX) and the Climate Leaders (CL), two popular voluntary US environmental programs to curb carbon emission that were operating...
