Climate change
- Economic benefits of carbon storage to Uganda agroforesters
- C. Nakakaawa; P. Vedeld; W. Gombya-Ssembajjwe / Faculty of Forestry, University of Toronto, 2004
- The economic advantages of improved agro forestry fallow systems over traditional continuous cropping systems are important tools that can be used to influence the choice of land use options at household levels. In Kigezi highlands Ug...
- Definitions of vulnerability in climate change research
- K. O’Brien; S. Eriksen; A. Schjolden; L. Nygaard / Center for International Climate and Environmental Research, Oslo, 2004
- This paper discusses two competing interpretations of vulnerability in the climate change literature and consider the implications for both research and policy: the “end point” approach: views vulnerability a...
- Cost-effectiveness of including additional sources of ozone depletants to the Kyoto Protocol
- A. Torvanger / Center for International Climate and Environmental Research, Oslo, 2004
- Incorporating ozone precursors and particle emissions in future climate policy agreements could improve the level of cost-effectiveness, but would also add complexity and complications to negotiation, reporting and implementation. To ...
- Impacts of a carbon tax on health and agricultural sectors in China
- D. O’Connor; Z. Fan; K. Aunan; T. Berntsen; H. Vennemo / OECD Development Centre, 2003
- China’s climate policy over the coming decades will be crucial to efforts to slow global warming. While CO2 emissions growth slowed in the 1990s, it is too early to know if this represents the beginning of a long-term downward tr...
- Economic impact of climate change in tuna fisheries, Pacific Ocean
- A. H. Asbjørn; L. Sygna / Center for International Climate and Environmental Research, Oslo, 2000
- Can the clean development mechanism attain both cost effectiveness and sustainable development objectives?
- H. H. Kolshus; J. Vevatne; A. Torvanger; K. Aunan / Center for International Climate and Environmental Research, Oslo, 2001
- This paper looks at both the back ground of the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), and discusses to what extent its current design allows it to achieve both its objectives as defined in the Kyoto Protocol: to promote sustainable devel...
- Four country studies on climate change impacts
- K. O´Brien / Center for International Climate and Environmental Research, Oslo, 2002
- This report summarises four country studies, carried out in Antigua and Barbuda, Cameroon, Estonia, and Pakistan. The studies illustrate the importance of adopting a flexible approach to the assessment of climate change impacts and ad...
- Climate change measurements
- B. Romstad; J. S. Fuglestvedt; T. Berntsen / Center for International Climate and Environmental Research, Oslo, 2003
- New research results show that emissions of greenhouse gases from OECD countries make up 40% of the anthropogenic temperature increase up to the present. This short paper looks at different measurment methods and their reliability.
- Communication of seasonal climate forecasts in Southern Africa
- K. O'Brien; L. Sygna; L. O. Næss; R. Kingamkono; B. Hochobeb / Center for International Climate and Environmental Research, Oslo, 2000
- This report discusses user responses to seasonal climate forecasts in southern Africa, with an emphasis on small-scale farmers in Namibia and Tanzania. The study examines if and how farmers received, used, and perceived the forecasts ...
- How have codes of conduct impacted the garment sector in Bangladesh?
- K. Murshid; S. Chaudhuri Zohir; A. Milford; A. Wiig / Chr. Michelsen Institute, Norway, 2003
- Codes of conduct are often imposed upon producers supplying Northern markets with the aim of improving working conditions in factories in the South. This study evaluates a) the process of codes implementation and b) the impact of thes...
