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...

The Special Report on Emissions Scenarios (SRES) has been widely used to analyze climate change impacts, vulnerability and adaptation. The storylines behind these scenarios outline alternative development pathways, which have been the base for climate research and other studies at global,...

Economic development and climate change constitute two of today's major international policy challenges. While development cooperation has long been on the political agenda, addressing global climate change has gained policymakers' attention more recently. Transfers for financing single projects...

Reduction of carbon dioxide emission is of great significance to the sustainability of global development. For the developing countries, however, carbon reduction is perceived costly for its possible dampening effect on economic growth. This paper builds a Low-Carbon Development Index to assess...
