Emission abatement versus development as strategies to reduce vulnerability to climate change: an application of FUND

Poorer countries are generally believed to be more vulnerable to climate change than richer countries because poorer countries are more exposed and have less adaptive capacity. This suggests that, in principle, there are two ways of reducing vulnerability to climate change: economic growth and greenhouse gas emission reduction. Using a complex climate change impact model, in which development i...

Which Way is Up ?

Most of us know that without a simplifying metaphor we can only wrap our mind around a limited amount of complexity. Most of us also know that the amount of complexity in today's world and the accelerating pace of change deprive most metaphors of any recognizable utility. Thus, when it comes to understanding what today's era implies for humanity over the next century, it is fair to ask – "which...

Climate change abatement and farm profitability analyses across agricultural environments

Management practices that reduce greenhouse gas emissions from farms or increase on-farm carbon storage can contribute to climate change mitigation. Farmers, however, are only likely to adopt new management practices if they contribute to farm profitability. We use the Agricultural Production Systems sIMulator (APSIM) to simulate how different cropping practices contribute to greenhouse gas aba...
