A drastic decline in global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is needed to stop the climate change. This requires a variety of political and market mechanisms. Europe is globally at the forefront among the industrialised countries in reducing its GHG emissions. We analyse the development of...

We examine the impact of temperature shocks and climate change on household financial behaviour in Viet Nam. To do so …, we first estimate the effect of temperature on household borrowing and savings using Vietnamese longitudinal data that … matches satellite reanalysis temperature data with household information over the period 2008 to 2016. We find that an …

This paper investigates the convergence behaviour of carbon dioxide emissions for 39 countries in the Americas from 1960-2016. A linear regression test of convergence which looks for conditional sigma convergence is employed, and a clustering algorithm is used to identify convergence clubs. The...

Knowledge of the carbon emissions elasticities of income and population is important both for climate change policy/negotiations and for generating projections of carbon emissions. However, previous estimations of these elasticities using the well-known STIRPAT framework have produced such...

The effects of extreme weather events, such as heat waves and droughts are taken into account in both global and … extreme weather events, in particular, droughts and high temperatures, for the German power sector. Furthermore, we consider … how European policy addressed these severe risks. Our analysis is based on extensive datasets covering temperature and …

A meta-analysis of the impact of weather shocks reveals that studies, which relate economic growth … to temperature levels, cannot agree on the sign of the impact whereas studies, which make economic growth a function of … temperature change do agree on the sign but differ an order of magnitude in effect size. The former studies posit that climate …

Methane abatement and geoengineering have a short-lived effect on temperature compared with carbon abatement. Different … optimal tax paths for these actions arise in a cost-benefit framework with an unknown temperature threshold where severe and … irreversible climate impacts, called a tipping point, occurs. Tax paths are compared with a cost-minimising approach where an upper-temperature …

The Paris Agreement invites signatory countries to formulate and communicate long-term low greenhouse gas emission development strategies (LT-LEDS). This report compares the experience of three developed countries that have communicated LT-LEDS within the framework of the United Nations...
