Underwriting 1.5°C: competitive approaches to financing accelerated climate change mitigation

Voluntary versus Mandatory Approaches To Climate Change Mitigation

Financing climate change adaptation.

This paper examines the topic of financing adaptation in future climate change policies. A major question is whether adaptation in developing countries should be financed under the 1992 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), or whether funding should come from other sources. We present an overview of financial resources and propose the employment of a two-track approach...

Organic Agriculture Contributes to Climate Change Mitigation

Cooperation on Climate-Change Mitigation†

We model greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as a dynamic game. Countries’ emissions increase atmospheric concentrations of GHG, which negatively affects all countries' welfare. We analyze self-enforcing climate-change treaties that are supportable as subgame perfect equilibria. A simulation model illustrates conditions where a subgame perfect equilibrium supports the first-best outcome. In one of o...
