Sustainability in the Presence of Global Warming: Theory and Empirics

Llavador, Humberto; Roemer, John E.; Silvestre, Joaquim - Human Development Report Office, United Nations … - 2011

Mankind must cooperate to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to prevent a catastrophic rise in global temperature, with its concomitant effects on sea level, rainfall, drought, storms, agricultural production, and human migration. What is the appropriate way of evaluating how the costs of...

Is energy planning consistent with climate goals? : assessing future emissions from power plants in Latin America and the Caribbean

Marinkovic, Catalina; Vogt-Schilb, Adrien - 2023

At least ten Latin American and Caribbean countries have pledged to achieve carbon neutrality. Has electricity planning in the region evolved towards reaching these goals? We compare power generation capacity in 2023 to announced plans in 2019. We then estimate committed emissions from existing...

CSR Disclosure and Benchmarking-Learning : Emissions Responses to Mandatory Greenhouse Gas Disclosure

Tomar, Sorabh - 2019

Examining the US Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program, I find that facilities reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 7.0% after mandatory disclosure of facility-level emissions. A facility's prior GHG inefficiency predicts subsequent GHG emissions reductions, but only after public disclosure occurs,...

Weighing Cows, Geoengineering and Coal Under a Climate Tipping Risk and a Temperature Target

Wiskich, Anthony - 2019

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...

The Optimal Carbon Tax With a Tipping Climate and Peak Temperature

Wiskich, Anthony - 2019

This paper describes an integrated assessment model with an unknown temperature threshold where severe and irreversible climate impacts, called a tipping point, occurs. The possibility of tipping leads to the following linked outcomes: a prolonged period of peak temperature; a rebound in...

Climate Change Meets Trade in Promoting Green Growth : Potential Conflicts and Synergies

Zhang, ZhongXiang - 2014

To date, border adjustment measures in the form of emissions allowance requirements (EAR) under the U.S. proposed cap-and-trade regime are the most concrete unilateral trade measure put forward to level the carbon playing field. If improperly implemented, such measures could disturb the world...

The U.S. Proposed Carbon Tariffs, WTO Scrutiny and China’s Responses

Zhang, ZhongXiang - 2014

With countries from around the world set to meet in Copenhagen to try to hammer out a post-2012 climate change agreement, no one would disagree that a U.S. commitment to cut greenhouse gas emissions is essential to such a global pact. However, despite U.S. president Obama’s recent announcement...
