An International Policy Architecture for the Post-Kyoto Era
In February 2005, the Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change came into force, but without participation by the United States. Its impacts on emissions of greenhouse gases—including carbon dioxide (CO2), the primary anthropogenic driver of climate change—will be trivial; but scientific (Robert T. Watson, 2001) and economic (Charles D. Kolstad and Michael A. T...
متن کاملThe Kyoto Protocol: A Post-Mortem
It may not be a household word, but by now the Kyoto Protocol has become a well-known political slogan. President Bush has called it fundamentally flawed, while some environmentalists in America and Europe have said it is essential for saving the Earth’s climate and the future of humanity itself. Many on the right have called it economic madness, while for many on the left it is an ecological a...
متن کاملCarbon Sinks in the Post - Kyoto World :
The Protocol specifically mentions emissions from sources and removals by sinks resulting from direct human-induced land-use change and forest related activities – deforestation, reforestation and afforestation – undertaken since 1990. However, the Protocol is silent on the role of other sinks in meeting national emission inventories. Agricultural land, for example, is mentioned as a possible c...
متن کاملMeeting Concentration Targets in the Post-kyoto World: Does Kyoto Further a Least Cost Strategy?
Preliminary analysis based on an aggregate model of global carbon emissions suggests that constraining emissions to the levels that would be imposed by compliance with the results of the Kyoto negotiations can increase the discounted cost of ultimately limiting atmospheric concentrations. Kyoto targets can be either too restrictive or too permissive depending upon the (currently unknown) trajec...
متن کاملInternational Forest Carbon Sequestration in a Post-Kyoto Agreement
Given the size of the global carbon pool in forest vegetation, the potential climatic effects of natural and anthropogenic changes in forests are enormous. Therefore, forest carbon management must be an important element of any international agreement on climate change. In this regard, the Kyoto Protocol has proven ineffective, in part, due to its emphasis on project-based evaluation and the ab...
