Linking developing country's cooperation on climate control with industrialized country's R&D and technology transfer

Kemfert, Claudia; Zhang, ZhongXiang - 2003

Using a world multi-sectoral, multi-regional trade model, this paper has investigated the economic and environmental implications of climate control coalitions cooperating on R&D investment that triggers low cost environmentally friendly technologies. We start with the Kyoto scenario where all...

Is China taking actions to limit its greenhouse gas emissions? past evidence and future prospects

Zhang, ZhongXiang - 1998

As the world’s second largest carbon emitter, China has long been criticised as a “free-rider” enjoying benefits from … other countries’ efforts to abate greenhouse gas emissions but not taking due responsibilities of its own. China has been … historical contributions of inter-fuel switching, energy conserva¬tion, economic growth and population expan¬sion to China’s CO2 …

Estimating the size of the potential market for all three flexibility mechanisms under the Kyoto Protocol

Zhang, ZhongXiang - 1999

The Kyoto Protocol is the first international environmental agreement that sets legally binding greenhouse gas emissions targets and timetables for Annex I countries. It incorporates emissions trading and two project-based flexibility mechanisms, namely joint implementation and the clean...

An economic assessment of the Kyoto Protocol using a global model based on the marginal abatement costs of 12 regions

Zhang, ZhongXiang - 2001

The Kyoto Protocol incorporates emissions trading, joint implementation and the clean development mechanism to help Annex 1 countries to meet their Kyoto targets at a lower overall cost. Using a global model based on the marginal abatement costs of 12 countries and regions, this paper estimates...

What do we know about carbon taxes? an inquiry into their impacts on competitiveness and distribution of income

Zhang, ZhongXiang; Baranzini, Andrea - 2000

The Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) has set legally binding emissions targets for a basket of six greenhouse gases and timetables for industrialised countries. It has also incorporated three international flexibility mechanisms. However, the...

Causal Relationship Between Indicators of Human Health, the Environment and Socioeconomic Variables for the OECD Countries

Mariam, Yohannes - 1999

There has been a lot of debate regarding the impact of emissions of pollutants on human health and the environment. Epidemiological studies tend to show the impact of increased ambient concentrations of pollutants on increased hospital admissions, mortality, morbidity, respiratory problems, etc....

Regional carbon dioxide permit trading in the United States: coalition choices for Pennsylvania

Rose, Adam; Peterson, Thomas D.; Zhang, ZhongXiang - 2006

An overview is given of the growing number of regional associations in which states have entered into voluntary arrangements to limit greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In particular, in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), a number of northeastern states have joined to create a regional...

Use of Aggregate Emission Reduction Cost Functions in Designing Optimal Regional SO2 Abatement Strategies

Mariam, Yohannes; Barre, Mike; Molburg, John - 1997

The 1990 Canadian long-range transport of air pollutants and acid deposition report divided North America into 40 sources of emission and 15 sensitive receptor sites. For the purpose of national policy making and international negotiation, the use of these large sources and few receptors may...

Integrated Assessment Modeling in Canada: The Case of Acid Rain

Mariam, Yohannes; Lam, David; Barre, Mike - 1998

In the past, environmental decision making has been based on analysis of policy options with respect to emission reduction, deposition or concentration of pollutants and the design of preventive strategies using disparate single-model and discipline results. It was impossible to obtain optimal...

Optimal Acid Rain Abatement Strategies for Eastern Canada

Mariam, Yohannes; Smith, W.B.G. - 1998

In the past environmental management practices have been based on disparate analysis of the impacts of pollutants on selected components of ecosystems. However, holistic analysis of emission reduction strategies is necessary to justify that actions taken to protect the environment would not...
