California?s cap-and-trade system: Diffusion and lessons
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)This article investigates the roles of policy diffusion and policy learning in shaping the design of California’s cap-and-trade system. On the surface, it is very similar to other cap-and-trade programs, but in practice ... -
Can conditional commitments break the climate change negotiations deadlock?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012)Can a conditional commitment by a major actor (for example, the European Union) induce other major actors (such as the USA, China, India, or Japan) to do more to mitigate global climate change? We analyse this question by ... -
Can geological carbon storage be competitive?
(CICERO Working Paper;2004:05, Working paper, 2004)In this paper we review the literature on the costs and benefits of geological carbon storage and the estimates of greenhouse gas permit prices under the Kyoto Protocol commitment period and beyond. Combining these results ... -
Can multi-criteria rules fairly distribute climate burdens? OECD results from three burden-sharing rules
(CICERO Working Paper;1998:06, Working paper, 1998)An important feature of the Protocol concluded in Kyoto, Japan, in December 1997 is the differentiation of the climate targets of the industrialized countries. A more systematic approach to burden sharing than that leading ... -
Can renewable energy communities enable a just energy transition? Exploring alignment between stakeholder motivations and needs and EU policy in Latvia, Norway, Portugal and Spain
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)As a response to societal polarisation and mobilisation against the clean energy transition and renewable energy projects, policy makers at EU level have put focus on renewable energy communities as an instrument to drive ... -
Can shared autonomous vehicles become a sustainable mode of mobility in the future? Insights from a practice-based study of urban dwellers in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Shared autonomous vehicles (SAVs) represent a rapidly growing technological field with features believed to potentially support the development of more sustainable mobility systems in city regions. To succeed as a sustainable ... -
Can the Clean Development Mechanism attain both cost-effectiveness and sustainable development objectives?
(CICERO Working Paper;2001:08, Working paper, 2001)The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), as defined in the Kyoto Protocol, has two objectives: to promote sustainable development in host developing countries, and to improve global cost-effectiveness by assisting developed ... -
Capital Gains and Income Arising from Nonrenewable Resources
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)Should capital gains be included in income arising from nonrenewable resources? In the present paper, I show that capital gains from a nonrenewable resource can be divided into two terms: real price change effects and real ... -
Car sharing and transformations in households travel patterns: Insights from emerging proto-practices in Norway
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Over the last decades car sharing has been recognized as a socio-technical innovation that can help to reduce or replace the use of fossil-fueled private cars in urban regions. To understand how car sharing may be used in ... -
Carbon capture and storage projects under the climate policy regime: The case of Halten CO2
(CICERO Report;2007:09, Research report, 2007)The report discusses institutional and policy issues associated with implementation of a planned carbon capture and storage plant in Mid-Norway under the international and national climate policy regime. -
Carbon dioxide removal policy in the making: Assessing developments in 9 OECD cases
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Since the adoption of the Paris Agreement in 2015, spurred by the 2018 IPCC Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5°C, net zero emission targets have emerged as a new organizing principle of climate policy. In this context, ... -
Carbon sequestration in sinks: An overview of potential and costs
(CICERO Working Paper;2001:11, Working paper, 2001)Prior to the resumed climate negotiations in Bonn in July this year, it was thought that an agreement on the unresolved crunch issues of the Kyoto Protocol was unrealistic. This was primarily due to the US withdrawal from ... -
Carbon taxes: An international tax or harmonized domestic taxes?
(CICERO Working Paper;1991:01, Working paper, 1991) -
Caribbean Small-Scale Fishers’ Strategies for Extreme Weather Events: Lessons for Adaptive Capacity from the Dominican Republic and Belize
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Understanding how Caribbean small-scale fishers can adapt to climate change is critical to sustaining coastal communities and livelihoods in the region. Fishers continuously adapt their practices to climate variability and ... -
Case studies on climate change response policies and strategies of selected Annex I countries: Norway and Sweden
(CICERO Report;2007:10, Research report, 2007) -
CDM baseline methodologies and carbon leakage
(CICERO Working Paper;2006:03, Working paper, 2006)Carbon leakage is an important issue because it can reduce the environmental effectiveness of international climate agreements. Under the Kyoto Protocol, the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) can potentially reduce carbon ... -
Challenges in the harmonisation of global integrated assessment models: A comprehensive methodology to reduce model response heterogeneity
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Harmonisation sets the ground to a solid inter-comparison of integrated assessment models. A clear and transparent harmonisation process promotes a consistent interpretation of the modelling outcomes divergences and, ... -
Changes in design precipitation over the Nordic-Baltic region as given by convection-permitting climate simulations
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)The increased risk of flooding due to global warming and subsequent heavy rainfall events in the Nordic-Baltic region, call for recommendations directed at long-term planning. One example of such recommendations are climate ... -
Changes in IPCC Scenario Assessment Emulators Between SR1.5 and AR6 Unraveled
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)The IPCC's scientific assessment of the timing of net-zero emissions and 2030 emission reduction targets consistent with limiting warming to 1.5°C or 2°C rests on large scenario databases. Updates to this assessment, such ... -
Changes in Land Cover and Management Affect Heat Stress and Labor Capacity
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Global warming is expected to exacerbate heat stress. Additionally, biogeophysical effects of land cover and land management changes (LCLMC) could substantially alter temperature and relative humidity locally and non-locally. ...
