The Optimal Allocation of Global Land Use in the Food-Energy-Environment Trilemma
Steinbuks, Jevgenijs - 2012
This study analyzes the optimal allocation of the world's land resources over the course of the next century in the dynamic forward-looking framework, which brings together distinct strands of economic, agronomic, and biophysical literature and incorporates key drivers affecting global landuse....

Leveraging global climate finance for sustainable forests : opportunities and conditions for successful foreign aid to the forestry sector
Pascual, Unai; Garmendia, Eneko; Phelps, Jacob; Ojea, Elena - 2013
Forest loss and degradation remains a leading environmental problem. The long history of sustainable forest management has often failed to meet expectations - constrained by funding, governance, capacity and competing interests. Initiatives from the climate change policy arena are opening new...

Carbon storage and bioenergy : using forests for climate mitigation
Favero, Alice; Mendelsohn, Robert O.; Sohngen, Brent - 2016
The carbon mitigation literature has separately considered using forests to store carbon and as a source of bioenergy. In this paper, we look at both options to reach a 2°C mitigation target. This paper combines the global forest model, GTM, with the IAM WITCH model to study the optimal use of...

Improving land-use modelling within CGE to assess forest-based mitigation potential and costs
Michetti, Melania; Parrado, Ramiro - 2012
We present a computable general equilibrium model properly modified to analyse the potential role of the European forestry sector within climate mitigation. Improvements on database and modelling frameworks allow accounting for land heterogeneity across and within regions and for land transfers...

Pricing Forest Carbon : Implications of Asymmetry in Climate Policy
Eriksson, Mathilda - 2016
In this paper, we use an integrated assessment model to examine the implications of not recognizing, and partially recognizing forest carbon in climate policy. Specifically, we investigate the impact of an asymmetric carbon policy that recognizes emissions from fossil fuels while ignoring...

A low GHG development pathway design framework for agriculture, forestry and land use
Svensson, Johannes; Waisman, Henri; Vogt-Schilb, Adrien; … - In: Energy strategy reviews 37 (2021), pp. 1-14
Agriculture, forestry and other land use (AFOLU) represent 22% of global greenhouse gas emissions. To meet the objectives of the Paris Agreement, the AFOLU sector greenhouse gases must be dramatically reduced and eventually transformed to net negative CO2e within this century. The...

Evaluating the global role of woody biomass as a mitigation strategy
Favero, Alice; Mendelsohn, Robert O. - 2013
As policy makers consider stringent targets for greenhouse gas emissions, integrated assessment models are increasingly relying on biomass energy as a critical energy source. However, it is not clear how much woody biomass to expect across time and across the planet. The integrated assessment...

Public sector corruption and the probability of technological disasters
Yamamura, Eiji - 2013
A growing number of studies have explored the influence of institution on the outcomes of disasters and accidents from the viewpoint of political economy. This paper focuses on the probability of the occurrence of disasters rather than disaster outcomes. Using panel data from 98 countries, this...
