Items 71 to 80 of 90

Linking industrialisation, GDP and emissions reductions targets
A. Torvanger; G. Bang; H. Kolshus; J. Vevatne / Center for International Climate and Environmental Research, Oslo, 2005
To meet a climate target like maximum 2 degree (Celsius) temperature increase by 2100, participation in efforts to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases must be broader than that in the Kyoto Protocol. It will also require emission red...
What is the global position on climate change?
T. Sugiyama; K. Tangen; H. Hasselknippe; A. Michaelowa; J. Drexhage; J. Pan; J. Sinton; A. Moe / Fridtjof Nansen Institute, 2004
This paper presents the current collective understanding of global climate change researchers, in an effort to provide a common understanding upon which further research can be based. Common understandings include: nego...
China needs to become a leading partner in efforts to decarbonize development
M. Papineau / Center for International Climate and Environmental Research, Oslo, 2005
This briefing looks at policy options for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in China. Although China has ratified the Kyoto Protocol, its status as a developing nation means it is not bound to any quantitative restrictions on emission...
Analysing the economics of climate change
C. Froyn / Center for International Climate and Environmental Research, Oslo, 2004
This report contains four essays by the Centre for International Climate and Environmental Research, Oslo, Norway. The essays deal with issues such as scientific uncertainty, decision criteria, the timing of climate policy, global and...
Recommendations for future climate policy beyond 2012
T. Asbjørn; M. Twena; J. Vevatne / Center for International Climate and Environmental Research, Oslo, 2004
This report is based on a literature review of key issues associated with long-term goals for climate policy, and to the framework for implementing climate policy. The study provides a basis for working with global climate policy afte...
Combating poverty through access to safe water supply and sanitation facilities
Eldis Document Store, 2003
This paper reports on a United Nations conference held in Norway, November 2003, in support of the 12th session of the Commission for Sustainable Development. The conference focused on the plight of the world’s poorest, with part...
How should climate change agreements optimise the development of abatement technologies?
R. Golombek; M. Hoel / Department of Economics, University of Oslo, Norway, 2004
This study examines how the design of international agreements on greenhouse gas emissions might affect the incentives for countries to develop technology to address emissions. The authors develop a model where: technol...
The intergovernmental panel on climate change reports on emissions scenarios
B. Holtsmark; B. Alfsen / Center for International Climate and Environmental Research, Oslo, 2004
This paper discusses the intergovernmental panel on climate change (IPCC) special report on emissions scenarios (SRES). Highlights of the paper include: criticism of the IPCC’s special report on emissions sc...
Costs and benefits of developing countries taking on binding emission constraints
S. Kallbekken; S. Westskog / Center for International Climate and Environmental Research, Oslo, 2003
This paper analyses the costs and benefits obtained when developing countries take on binding emission constraints in order to take part in emissions trading in a future climate agreement. Highlights of the paper include: ...
Norwegian development cooperation in the area of adaptation to climate change
S. Eriksen; L. Otto Naess / Center for International Climate and Environmental Research, Oslo, 2003
This report reviews linkages between Norwegian development cooperation and climate change, with a focus on adaptation. It discusses key concepts, ongoing efforts and their relevance to Norwegian policies and strategies. The paper part...
