Greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture in the EU: A spatial assessment of sources and abatement costs
de Cara, Stephane; Houze, Martin; Jayet, Pierre-Alain - 2004
Agriculture contributes significantly to the emissions of greenhouse gases in the EU. By using a farm-type, linear-programming based model of the European agricultural supply, we first assess the initial levels of methane and nitrous oxide emissions at the regional level in the EU. For a range...

The costs of stopping deforestation in PNG and Indonesia
Hunt, Colin - 2010
Even though deforestation in tropical developing countries releases large quantities of greenhouse gases, the Kyoto Protocol does not include mechanisms for forest conservation. Nevertheless, deforestation and forest degradation has now taken centre-stage as the developed countries, having...

Anticipating Vulnerability to Climate Change in Dryland Pastoral Systems: Using Dynamic Systems Models for the Kalahari
Dougill, Andrew J.; Fraser, Evan D.G.; Reed, Mark - 2010
"It is vitally important to identify agroecosystems that may cease functioning because of changing climate or land degradation. However, identifying such systems is confounded on both conceptual and methodological grounds, especially in systems that are moving toward thresholds, a common trait...

MITIGATION OF GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS: THE IMPACTS ON A DEVELOPED COUNTRY HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON AGRICULTURE
Saunders, Caroline M.; Wreford, Anita - 2003
This paper focuses on the impact of mitigating greenhouse gases (GHG) on agricultural trade. In particular, the paper assesses the impact on New Zealand (NZ), which is highly reliant on agricultural trade, with a high percentage of its total GHG emissions are originating in the agricultural...

The Welfare Effects of Greenhouse Gas Emissions in German Pork Production
Heinrich, Barbara; von Cramon-Taubadel, Stephan - 2011
Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are an externality of the pork production process. To respond to climate change concerns and reduce GHG emissions, internalizing this exter-nal effect using a market-based economic instrument would be economically efficient. We calculate the welfare effects of GHG...

Product Carbon Footprinting in the Tourism Industry
Schmidt, Alexander - 2010
Since about 40 percent of the overall emissions are caused by consumers and already 81 percent of all consumers would prefer low carbon products if they had the choice, it would be a desirable goal to increase the demand for climate friendly products in addition to regulatory requirements or...
