Climate Change?Legacy Phosphorus Synergy Hinders Lake Response to Aggressive Water Policy Targets

Targets for global climate policy: An overview

A survey of the economic impact of climate change and the marginal damage costs shows that carbon dioxide emissions are a negative externality. The estimated Pigou tax and its growth rate are too low to justify the climate policy targets set by political leaders. A lower discount rate or greater concern for the global distribution of income would justify more stringent climate policy, but would...

simulation farmers’ response to reducing available water policy

in this study, to determine the economic value of irrigation water and simulate the response of farmers to reducing  available water policy of positive mathematical programming models (pmp) was used. by the proposed model, the economic value (shadow price) of irrigation water estimated in each of the areas of western rodbar alamuot, rajai dasht and eastern rodbar almuot. then, the reactions of ...

Climate Change Policy Targets and the Role of Technological Change

In this paper, we present results of simulation experiments with the TIME-model on the issue of mitigation strategies with regard to greenhouse gases. The TIME-model is an integrated system dynamics world energy model that takes into account the fact that the system has an inbuilt inertia and endogenous learning-by-doing dynamics, besides the more common elements of priceinduced demand response...

Mainstreaming climate policy: the case of climate adaptation and the implementation of EU water policy

Despite the fact that mainstreaming of climate change into existing EU sectoral policies is a key aim, empirical knowledge of how it works in practice remains scarce. With this paper we explore the degree to which climate considerations are taken into account in the implementation of one of the most influential pieces of European water legislation, the Water Framework Directive and, more import...
