Understanding the Economic Impacts of Greenhouse Gas Mitigation Policies on Shipping : What Is the State of the Art of Current Modeling Approaches?
Englert, Dominik; Halim, Ronald A.; Smith, Tristan - 2019
The International Maritime Organization's initial strategy on reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from ships stipulates that the international shipping sector should assess the impacts on states prior to adoption of the mitigation measures included in the strategy. This assessment should be...

Assessment of Net Mitigation in the Context of International Greenhouse Gas Emissions Control Mechanisms
Strand, Jon - 2016
This paper discusses the scope for market mechanisms, already established for greenhouse gas mitigation in Annex 1 countries that ratified the Kyoto Protocol, for implementing "net mitigation," defined here as mitigation beyond Annex 1 countries' formal mitigation requirements under the Kyoto...

Aligning Climate Change Mitigation and Agricultural Policies in Eastern Europe and Central Asia
Larson, Donald F.; Dinar, Ariel; Blankespoor, Brian - 2012
Greenhouse gas emissions are largely determined by how energy is created and used, and policies designed to encourage … mitigation efforts reflect this reality. However, an unintended consequence of an energy-focused strategy is that the set of …

Economic Analysis of Projects in a Greenhouse World
Hamilton, Kirk; Stover, Jana - 2012
Recent carbon market prices are substantially lower than mean or median estimates of the social cost of carbon in the literature. Intuition would therefore suggest that 'investment errors' are being made, in the sense that markets favor higher carbon-emitting projects, while global welfare would...

Economic Implications of Reducing Carbon Emissions from Energy Use and Industrial Processes in Brazil
Chen, Y.-H. Henry; Timilsina, Govinda R. - 2012
The overall impacts on the Brazilian economy of reducing CO2 emissions from energy use and industrial processes can be … under a business-as-usual scenario, CO2 emissions from energy use and industrial processes would be almost three times as … implemented as planned and continued to 2040, CO2 emissions from energy use and industrial processes would not have to be cut …

How Capital-Based Instruments Facilitate the Transition Toward a Low-Carbon Economy : A Tradeoff between Optimality and Acceptability
Rozenberg, Julie; Vogt-Schilb, Adrien; Hallegatte, Stéphane - 2014
This paper compares the temporal profile of efforts to curb greenhouse gas emissions induced by two mitigation strategies: a regulation of all emissions with a carbon price and a regulation of emissions embedded in new capital only, using capital-based instruments such as investment regulation,...

Should Marginal Abatement Costs Differ Across Sectors? The Effect of Low-Carbon Capital Accumulation
Vogt-Schilb, Adrien; Meunier, Guy; Hallegatte, Stéphane - 2013
The optimal timing, sectoral distribution, and cost of greenhouse gas emission reductions is different when abatement is obtained though abatement expenditures chosen along an abatement cost curve, or through investment in low-carbon capital. In the latter framework, optimal investment costs...

Addressing Additionality in REDD Contracts When Formal Enforcement Is Absent
Cordero Salas, Paula; Roe, Brian; Sohngen, Brent - 2013
The success of reducing carbon emissions from deforestation and forest degradation depends on the design of an effective financial mechanism that provides landholders sufficient incentives to participate and provide additional and permanent carbon offsets. This paper proposes self-enforcing...
