International tourism, exchange rate, and renewable energy : do they boost or burden efforts towards a low carbon economy in selected African countries?

Adjei-Mantey, Kwame; Adusah-Poku, Frank; Kwakwa, Paul Adjei - In: Cogent economics & finance 11 (2023) 2, pp. 1-19

Africa continues to suffer from the effects of climate change in many ways. Records show that the continent's carbon … energy development, as well as exchange rate fluctuations in Africa, the study assesses the impact of international tourism …, exchange rate, and renewable energy on CO2 emissions of seven most visited countries in Africa. Carbon dioxide emission was …

Boosting African cities' resilience to climate change : The role of green spaces

Anderson, Brilé. - 2022

The next few decades will bring an era of rapid urbanisation and unprecedented climate stress in African cities. Green spaces can boost the resilience of cities to heat waves, floods, landslides, and even coastal erosion, in addition, to enhancing sustainability by improving air quality,...

Climate engineering under deep uncertainty and heterogeneity

Emmerling, Johannes; Manoussi, Vassiliki; Xepapadeas, … - 2016

Climate Engineering, and in particular Solar Radiation Management (SRM) has become a widely discussed climate policy option to study in recent years. However, its potentially strategic nature and unforeseen side effects provide major policy and scientific challenges. We study the role of the SRM...

The economics of greenhouse gas mitigation in developing Asia

Reis, Lara Aleluia; Emmerling, Johannes; Tavoni, Massimo; … - 2016

Developing Asia has the world's fastest greenhouse gas emissions growth. This study uses an economy-energy-climate model to assess the effects of Paris Agreement pledges on Asia, in comparison with business as usual (BAU) and more ambitious scenarios. Results confirm that pledges must be...

Voluntary corporate climate initiatives and regulatory loom : batten down the hatches

Ilić, Dragan; Mollet, Janick Christian - 2015

The rationale of voluntary corporate initiatives is often explained with preparedness for future regulation. We test this hypothesis for the Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX) and the Climate Leaders (CL), two popular voluntary US environmental programs to curb carbon emission that were operating...

An analysis of water security under climate change

Cappelli, Federica - 2017

Water is a multidimensional issue, involving water availability, access to freshwater, spatial and temporal distribution of resources, competition among its uses, ecosystems conservation, climate-related disasters and risks and several other aspects. The water security approach manages such...

Publication bias in measuring climate sensitivity

Havránková, Zuzana; Reckova, Dominika - 2015

We present a meta-regression analysis of the relation between the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and changes in global temperature. The relation is captured by "climate sensitivity", which measures the response to a doubling of carbon dioxide concentrations compared to...

Cooperation and competition in climate change policies : mitigation and climate engineering when countries are asymmetric

Manoussi, Vassiliki; Xepapadeas, Anastasios - 2014

We study a dynamic game of climate policy design in terms of emissions and solar radiation management (SRM) involving two heterogeneous regions or countries. Countries emit greenhouse gasses (GHGs), and can block incoming radiation by unilateral SRM activities, thus reducing global temperature....
