The large literature that aims to find evidence of climate migration delivers mixed findings. This meta-regression analysis i) summarizes direct links between adverse climatic events and migration, ii) maps patterns of climate migration, and iii) explains the variation in outcomes. Using a set...

There are four strategies to combating global warming, namely by directly reducing greenhouse gas emissions, or indirectly through expanding renewable energy employment, more efficient use of energy, or a wide range of climate policies. This study reports a bibliometric analysis of direct carbon...

To tackle the threat of climate change, effective environmental regulation is required to vary environmental behavior. Mixing different policy interventions can be more effective in alleviating market failures, addressing multiple environmental objectives, or adjusting sub-optimal single...

An important source of political opposition to measures aimed at reducing emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) arises from concerns over their negative effects on the competitiveness of domestic firms, especially those that are energy-intensive and exposed to competition from foreign producers....

In this policy paper we discuss policy instruments which can help to decarbonise passenger cars in the European Union. We elaborate to what extent these policy instruments are effective, technology-neutral, predictable, cost-effective and enforceable. Based on these criteria, we develop...

In this paper, we review the literature on carbon reduction policies detailing the main ways that carbon emissions are controlled. Three main categories of carbon reduction policies are surveyed: carbon sequestration, alternative energy sources, and carbon pricing. We survey academic literature...
