The Implementation Challenge of Mitigating China's Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Yang, Tseming - 2018
With the growth of the developing world's population and economies, limiting their contribution to the global growth of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions has increased greatly in significance. The parties to the UN Climate Change Convention acknowledged this reality in the Bali Action Plan,...

Future Inequality in Carbon Dioxide Emissions and the Projected Impact of Abatement Proposals
Heil, Mark T. - 2016
Under business-as-usual projections to the year 2100, inequality in per capita carbon emissions is likely to decline - but slowly. Targeted reductions should be effective in reducing not only total emissions but emissions inequality. Heil and Wodon analyze inequality in future carbon emissions...

Climate Change and River Water Pollution : An Application to the Ganges in Kanpur
Batabyal, Amitrajeet A.; Kourtit, Karima; Nijkamp, Peter - 2023
We provide a theoretical framework to analyze how climate change influences the Ganges and how this influence affects pollution in the river caused by tanneries in Kanpur, India. We focus on two tanneries, A and B, that are situated on the same bank of the Ganges in Kanpur. Both produce leather...

The Likely Regional Impacts of an Agricultural Emissions Policy in New Zealand : Preliminary Analysis
Sin, Isabelle; Brunton, Emma; Hendy, Joanna; Kerr, Suzi - 2015
Hendy and Kerr (2005b) find that an emissions charge on agricultural methane and nitrous oxide of $25 per tonne of carbon dioxide (CO2) equivalent would be likely to reduce New Zealand's net land-use related emissions for commitment period one in the order of 3%, with full accounting. The costs...

Climate Change and the Willingness to Pay to Reduce Ecological and Health Risks from Wastewater Flooding in Urban Centers and the Environment
Veronesi, Marcella; Chawla, Fabienne; Maurer, Max; … - 2013
Climate change scenarios predict an increase of extreme rain events, which will increase the risk of wastewater flooding and of missing legal water quality targets. This study elicits the willingness to pay to reduce ecological and health risks from combined sewer overflows (CSOs) in rivers and...

Climate Change, the Clean Air Act, and Industrial Pollution
Kaswan, Alice - 2012
EPA has braved controversy by applying the Clean Air Act (CAA) to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from stationary sources, including utilities and industry. Because GHG controls inevitably affect combustion, they will impact traditional pollutants (termed “co-pollutants”). The article first...

Chapter 1. Geophysical and Geochemical Aspects of Environmental Degradation
Bolin, Bert - In: Handbook of environmental economics : volume 1, …, (pp. 7-59). 2003
The environmental system is characterized by an interplay of geophysical and geochemical processes that provide a setting for life. Now that human interventions are affecting the global system as a whole, it is important to distinguish between changes of natural origin and changes brought about...

Climate Change and Freshwater Resources
Hall, Noah D.; Stuntz, Bret B.; Abrams, Robert - 2013
The Earth's climate is warming. This is the unequivocal conclusion of climate scientists. Despite the complexities of climatology, certain consistent trends emerge with implications for water availability: as the world gets warmer, it will experience increased regional variability in...
