India is the fifth largest emitter of carbon dioxide but lacks a credible policy to address human induced climate change. Reluctance to take action is understandable in a country where per capita emissions are still a fraction of those in the US or Europe. However, in about 30 years, at present growth rates, India’s emissions will reach European per capita levels. At the Ninth Biennial Conferen...

Purpose: The growing popularity of green bonds has sparked an ongoing debate about their real impact on the environment. idea behind is that they provide environmental benefits, such as a reduction in carbon emissions, by financing environmentally friendly projects. aim this paper to examine relationship between bond issuance and CO2 emissions EU-27 from 2013 2017 determine validity theory. Met...

The policy instruments for emissions reductions will be an integral part of a PostKyoto Climate Regime. Using the CGE model DART, we compare a harmonized international carbon tax to a cap-and-trade system with different emission caps. The carbon tax tends to favor industrialized countries while e.g. emissions trading under the “contraction and convergence” approach with converging per capita em...

[1] Estimates of fossil fuel CO2 are a critical component in atmospheric CO2 inversions. Rather than solving for this portion of the atmospheric CO2 budget, inversions typically include estimates of fossil fuel CO2 as a known quantity. However, this assumption may not be appropriate, particularly as inversions continue to solve for fluxes at reduced space and timescales. In this study, two diff...

When I was born in 1930, the human population of the world was a mere 2 billion. Today, it has already reached 6.8 billion, and is projected to reach 9.1 billion by 2050. That is unsustainable. It is slowly beginning to dawn on us that Global Warming is the result of increasing human CO2 emissions, and the more people there are in the world, the worse it will become. Ultimately, it is the sky t...

As increasing urbanization has become a national policy priority for economic growth in China, cities have become important players in efforts to reduce carbon emissions. However, their efforts have been hampered by the lack of specific and comparable carbon emission inventories. Comprehensive carbon emission inventories for twelve Chinese cities, which present both a relatively current snapsho...

The primary energy demand in India is expected to increase about 1250 1500 million toe(tonne of oil equivalent) 2030.As a result increasing incomes and growth economy, increases electric utility services lighting, space cooling, industrial production, office automation etc. In 2011, annual average supply was only 0.6 toe per capita; whereas the world 1.88 capita. To cater with minimum CO2 emiss...
