In the Eye of the Storm : Hurricanes, Climate Migration, and Climate Attitudes
Arias, Sabrina B.; Blair, Christopher W. - 2023
Climate disasters raise the salience of climate change’s negative consequences, including climate-induced migration. Policy action to address climate displacement is especially contentious in the U.S., where weak support for tackling climate change intersects with high opposition to...

Climate (im)mobility in urban contexts : from recognition to action
Ekoh, Susan - German Institute of Development and Sustainability - 2023
There is an increased recognition of human mobility responses to climate change among policy-makers and stakeholders. At the global level, the Global Compact for Safe, Regular and Orderly Migration (GCM) highlights this intersection of climate change and migration. In addition, follow-up...

800,000 years of climate risk
Adrian, Tobias; Boyarchenko, Nina; Giannone, Domenico; … - 2022
We use a long history of global temperature and atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration to estimate the conditional joint evolution of temperature and CO2 at a millennial frequency. We document three basic facts. First, the temperature-CO2 dynamics are non-linear, so that large deviations...

Climate change and the relocation of population
Gröschl, Jasmin - 2012
Do natural disasters interplay with intensified international migration? Not only has the global migrant stock increased from 92 to 165 million between 1960 and 2000, but the frequency and magnitude of disasters have increased within the same period. In the face of exogenous shocks, migration is...

Offset carbon emissions or pay a price premium for avoiding them? : a cross-country analysis of motives for climate protection activities
Schwirplies, Claudia; Ziegler, Andreas - 2015
This paper contributes to the economic literature on pure and impure public goods by considering two alternatives for contributing to the public good climate protection: compensating carbon emissions from conventional consumption or paying higher prices for climate-friendly products. We...

On the interrelation between carbon offsetting and other voluntary climate protection activities : theory and empirical evidencey
Lange, Andreas; Schwirplies, Claudia; Ziegler, Andreas - 2014
This paper provides theoretical and empirical insights on the extent to which the availability of carbon offsetting may substitute the individual use of other carbon-reducing measures. Theoretically, we demonstrate an ambiguous impact of offsetting on the use of other measures and derive...

Adaptation vs. climate protection : responses to climate change and policy preferences of individuals in China, Germany, and the USA
Schwirplies, Claudia - 2015
This paper investigates the interrelation between adaptation and climate protection efforts of individuals in a cross-country comparison. The theoretical predictions based on a subjective utility framework demonstrate that, at the individual level, private adaptation and climate protection...

The determinants of voluntary carbon offsetting : a micro-econometric analysis of individuals from Germany and the United States ; conference paper
Schwirplies, Claudia; Ziegler, Andreas - 2014 - Preliminary version
This paper examines the determinants of voluntary individual carbon offsetting, i.e. the financial compensation of emissions from energy use. In contrast to former studies in this field, we particularly consider a comprehensive set of factors that are discussed in the context of voluntary...
