We question the sustainability of the Kyoto Protocol and suggest an alternative approach that is more politically and econom...

Given the current policy debate and the importance of evaluating the effectiveness in terms of emission reductions of the already established climate agreements, we investigate to what extent emission reduction obligations from t...
متن کاملCarbon Dioxide Emissions, Economic Growth and the Impact of the Kyoto Protocol
In the last two decades increasing attention has been paid to the relationship between environmental degradation and economic development. According to the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis this relationship may be described by an inverted U-curve. However, recent evidence rejects the EKC hypothesis for GHG emissions in a broad sense. In this paper we analyze the driving factors of C...
