Carbon Accounting by Public and Private Financial Institutions : Can We Be Sure Climate Finance Is Leading to Emissions Reductions?
Spittle, Emily; Dietrich Brauch, Martin - 2021
As reporting GHG emissions becomes mandatory in the financial sector, the methods by which emissions are calculated will grow in importance for their impact on the resulting metric. Progress is underway in both the public and private financial sectors to embed emissions accounting standards, but...

Towards Strategic Stakeholder Management? Integrating Perspectives on Corporate Responses to Climate Change
Kolk, Ans; Pinkse, Jonatan - 2014
The strategic management of corporate sustainability tends to be approached from one theoretical perspective simultaneously in academic research and publications in mainstream journals. In corporate practice, however, a sustainability issue has different dimensions that cannot be captured if...

Beyond 2020 : strategies and costs for transforming the European energy system
Knopf, Brigitte; Chen, Yen-heng Henry; De Cian, Enrica; … - 2014
The Energy Modeling Forum 28 (EMF28) study systematically explores the energy system transition required to meet the European goal of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 80% by 2050. The 80% scenario is compared to a reference case that aims to achieve a 40% GHG reduction target. The...

Geoengineering the Climate : An Overview
Leal-Arcas, Rafael - 2012
Although geoengineering refers to numerous methods of offsetting climate change, including the removal of greenhouse gases (GHGs) from the atmosphere, it is most commonly applied to an approach known as shortwave radiation management (SRM). Advocates for geoengineering make no claims to its...

Compact Development and Greenhouse Gas Emissions : A Review of Recent Research
Fruits, Eric - 2013
Land use policies favoring compact development have been invoked as a way slow potential climate change. While the linkages between density and greenhouse gas emissions may seem obvious, available data indicate that the connections are weak, bordering on non-existent. Thus, it is clear that...

Linking Energy and Climate Change
Leal-Arcas, Rafael - 2012
Starting from the premise that climate change mitigation is a global public good, there is a nexus between energy and climate change, which encompasses a range of issues such as clean energy subsidies, carbon taxes, and border adjustment for carbon emissions. In the absence of a global climate...

Business Responses to Climate Change : Identifying Emergent Strategies
Kolk, Ans; Pinkse, Jonatan - 2014
In the absence of sufficient support for the Kyoto Protocol, the international policy arena on climate change is far removed from being a 'level playing field'. Companies thus face much uncertainty about the competitive effects of the Protocol and (upcoming) regulatory measures. This means that...

Climate Change, Carbon Sequestration, and Property Rights
Wilson, Elizabeth J.; Klass, Alexandra B. - 2014
This Article considers the role of property rights in efforts to sequester underground hundreds of millions of tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) per year from power plants and other industrial facilities in order to mitigate climate change. This technology, known as carbon capture and sequestration...

Cooling down hot air : a global CGE analysis of post-Kyoto carbon abatement strategies
Böhringer, Christoph - 1999
The Kyoto Protocol marks a break-through in global warming mitigation policies as it sets legally binding emissions targets for major emitting regions. However, realisation of the Protocol depends on the clarification of several issues one of which is the permissible scope of international...
