Interactions of Reduced Deforestation and the Carbon Market : The Role of Market Regulations and Future Commitments
Anger, Niels - 2014
Reducing emissions from deforestation and degradation (REDD) has been proposed as a potentially inexpensive and plentiful source of emission abatement to supplement other longterm climate policies. However, critics doubt that REDD credits are environmentally equivalent to domestic emission...

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...

Biomass productivity-based mapping of global land degradation hotspots
Le, Quang Bao; Nkonya, Ephraim; Mirzabaev, Alisher - 2014
Land degradation is a global problem affecting negatively the livelihoods and food security of billions of people, especially farmers and pastoralists in the developing countries. Eradicating extreme poverty without adequately addressing land degradation is highly unlikely. Given the importance...

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...

Trade of Woody Biomass for Electricity Generation under Climate Mitigation Policy
Favero, Alice - 2014
Bio-energy has the potential to be a key mitigation option if combined with carbon capture and sequestration (BECCS) because it generates electricity and absorbs emissions at the same time. However, biomass is not distributed evenly across the globe, and regions with a potentially high demand...

Public Administration in the Age of Globalization and Emerging Technologies : From Theories to Practice
Farah, Paolo Davide - 2020
If we imagine the proverb “if the mountain won't come to Muhammad, then Muhammad must go to the mountain” as an equation with two variables, information and communication technologies (“ICT”) and public administration, it will not matter which place each one of them will take in the...
