A computationally fuzzy multiobjective programming (MOP) approach with a Leontief interindustry model is used to investigate the trade-offs between per capita gross domestic product, national employment, and per capita CO<Subscript>2</Subscript> emissions in Taiwan. To achieve the objectives of our investigation, the...</subscript>

In order to respond to climate change, it is essential to describe possible future greenhouse gas (GHG) emission trajectories in both nonintervention and intervention terms. This paper analyzes long-term GHG mitigation emission scenarios according to alternative development paths in the world...

This paper focuses on the intertemporal efficiency aspect of economies with environmental resources which have stock externalities. We show why and how such an economy is concerned with intertemporal inefficiency if the property right of the resource is established and traded in a competitive...

This paper analyzes a set of global energy-economic development scenarios for the 21<Superscript>st</Superscript> century. The set includes non-climate-policy scenarios that are part of the recent Special Report on Emissions Scenarios (SRES) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). We apply climate...</superscript>

Numerous CO<Subscript>2</Subscript> emission scenarios have recently been proposed. However, the time ranges of most scenarios are not long enough to allow analysis of their climate implications. An extrapolation method is proposed to link the emission scenarios with atmospheric stabilization targets that take effect...</subscript>

This paper evaluates the effects of carbon emission mitigation options from a long-range perspective using an integrated assessment model called MARIA (Multiregional Approach for Resource and Industry Allocation). This model has been developed to assess the potential contribution of fossil,...

This paper provides an overview of new emission mitigation scenarios that lead to stabilization of atmospheric CO<Subscript>2</Subscript> concentrations, presented in this Special Issue. All of these scenarios use as their baselines the new IPCC scenarios published in the IPCC Special Report on Emission Scenarios...</subscript>

This paper aims to assess Japan’s decision-making process to finalize its proposal for the Kyoto Protocol by comparing it to a similar decision in 1990–1992. The processes of the two periods are analyzed at both the international and domestic levels of decision making. At the domestic level,...
