Price relationships in the EU emissions trading system

Chevallier, Julien - HAL - 2010

developing countries, funding emissions cuts there instead, under a Kyoto Protocol Clean Development Mechanism (CDM). This … Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) delivers credits that may be used by European companies for their compliance needs …. Certified Emissions Reductions (CERs) from CDM projects are credits flowing into the global compliance market generated through …

Building world narratives for climate change impact, adaptation and vulnerability analyses

Hallegatte, Stéphane; Valentin, Przyluski; … - HAL - 2011

The impacts of climate change on human systems depend not only on the level of emissions but also on how inherently vulnerable these systems are to the changing climate. The large uncertainties over future development and structure of societies and economies mean that the assessment of climate...

ECONOMIC EXPERTISE AND DECISION-MAKING IN CONTROVERSIAL UNIVERSES

Godard, Olivier - HAL - 1996

There are two questions to be considered: a) to which extent the type of framing which may be appropriate for scientific explorations of some issues can also be relevant in a decisionmaking context, in which achieving an agreement among stakeholders is the key problem? b) what is the practical...

Geoengineering as an alternative to mitigation: specification and dynamic implications

Sterck, Olivier - HAL - 2011

Geoengineering, i.e. the use of artificial techniques aiming at cooling the planet, is increasingly considered as a realistic alternative to emission mitigation. Several methods are promising for their capacity to quickly halt global warming at a moderate cost. Such cheap technologies might be...

Envisioning innovative groundwater regulation policies through scenario workshops in France and Portugal

Rinaudo, Jean-Daniel; Montginoul, Marielle; Varanda, Marta - HAL - 2012

Groundwater management policies will need to be revised in many Mediterranean countries, in light of the impact of climate change and the increasing demand for water. In this paper, we analyze stakeholder perceptions of three groundwater policy scenarios which respectively assume a strengthening...

Necessities and problems of coupling climate and socioeconomic models for integrated assessments studies from an economist's point of view

Ha-Duong, Minh - HAL - 1997

This presentation has two parts. The first part is more theoretical. We will examine the definition of Integrated Assessment Models of Climate Change and identify their main aims. We will also have look at the differences between climate and socioeconomic models. The second part will be applied....

Decision making under uncertainty and inertia constraints: sectoral implications of the when flexibility

Lecocq, Franck; Hourcade, Jean-Charles; Ha-Duong, Minh - HAL - 1998

Current debates on climate mitigation emphasize the role of the inertia of the economic system. Our aim in this paper is to study more in depth how sectorally differentiated inertia impacts on optimal C02-emission abatement policies. Using the STARTS model, we show that optimal abatement levels...

Assessment of the impacts under future climate change on the energy systems with the POLES model

Mima, Silvana; Criqui, Patrick - HAL - 2009

This paper presents the way we try to explore the most important impacts of climate change on the energy systems with the POLES model. We present the main features and adaptations of the POLES model with details on the treatment of the electricity demand in the residential and service sector, of...

Combining efficiency with equity : a pragmatic approach

Blanchard, Odile; Criqui, Patrick; Kitous, Alban; … - HAL - 2003

What is at stake in the climate negotiations is the provision of a global public good, indeed a "clean" atmosphere.The Kyoto Protocol is only a very minor step toward this objective. Looking further ahead in time, beyond the 2008-2012 period, Annex I Parties' commitments will not be sufficient...

Scenarios for differentiating commitments : a quantitative analysis

Blanchard, Odile - HAL - 2002

Various paths are possible, towards future global participation in the effort to mitigate climate change. The chapter examines three worldwide scenarios of differentiated commitments from a quantitative perspective. The Per Capita Convergence scenario allocates emission allowances to countries...
