As the severity of climate change is increasingly recognized throughout the world, the international community has announced plans to achieve carbon neutrality and has introduced policies to curb greenhouse gas emissions. The Korean government is also devising concrete measures to achieve carbon...

China, from its own perspective cannot afford to, and from an international perspective, is not allowed to continue on the conventional path of encouraging economic growth at the expense of the environment. The country needs to transform its economy to effectively address concern about a range...

To achieve the commitments to both carbon peaking and carbon neutrality, China should focus on those policies of significant impact on emissions reduction at the lowest cost. Launching the national carbon market with the power generation sector is a good start point in this direction. Since its...

Denmark’s green growth strategy focuses on moving the energy system away from fossil fuels and investing in green technologies, while limiting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. On the whole, current policies should allow Denmark to reach near-term climate change targets, but may not be...

China has realized that for its own sake and from the international community's perspective, it cannot afford to continue along the conventional path of encouraging economic growth at the expense of the environment. Accordingly, the country has placed ecological goals at the same level of...

This paper identifies a previously unnoticed problem important for the efficient reduction of GHG emissions: the pricing of off-peak electricity. There may be many opportunities to reduce emissions by substituting relatively clean and inexpensive off-peak electricity in place of a more...

Decision makers facing abatement targets need to decide which abatement measures to implement, and in which order. Measure-explicit marginal abatement cost curves depict the cost and abating potential of available mitigation options. Using a simple intertemporal optimization model, we...
