Nasjonal klimapolitikk i lys av Kyoto-protokollen

Holtsmark, Bjart (1998:12, Working paper, 1998)

Artikkelen drøfter valg og dosering av klimapolitiske tiltak på den nasjonale arena i et land som er bundet av en utslippsforpliktelse i Kyoto-protokollen. Den vanlige antakelsen om at en klimagassavgift skal være lik ...

Nasjonale drivkrefter i USAs klimapolitikk

Skodvin, Tora; Bang, Guri (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)

Da Obama overtok som president i 2009, var ett av hovedmålene å styrke amerikansk klimapolitikk. Fem år senere er målet fortsatt ikke blitt realisert. For å forklare denne manglende måloppnåelsen undersøker vi tre forhold: ...

Skodvin, Tora; Bang, Guri (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)

Da Obama overtok som president i 2009, var ett av hovedmålene å styrke amerikansk klimapolitikk. Fem år senere er målet fortsatt ikke blitt realisert. For å forklare denne manglende måloppnåelsen undersøker vi tre forhold: ...

National Climate Policy Ambitiousness: A Comparative Study of Denmark, France,Germany, Norway, Sweden and the UK

Boasson, Elin Lerum (2013:02, Research report, 2013)

This report explores how and to what extent the climate policies of Denmark, France, Germany, Norway, Sweden and the UK can be called ‘ambitious’. Relevant EU climate policies are also presented. The report develops three ...

National climate policy, firm survival, and investments

Hagem, Cathrine; Westskog, Hege (2000:08, Working paper, 2000)

In this paper we consider how to design a national tradable quota system to reduce emissions of climate gases when the regulator is concerned about the survival of specific firms. The problem is studied using a two-period ...

National contributions to climate change due to historical emissions of carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide since 1850

Jones, Matthew W.; Peters, Glen Philip; Gasser, Thomas; Andrew, Robbie; Schwingshackl, Clemens; Gütschow, Johannes; Houghton, Richard A.; Friedlingstein, Pierre; Pongratz, Julia; Le Quéré, Corinne (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)

Anthropogenic emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) have made significant contributions to global warming since the pre-industrial period and are therefore targeted in international climate ...

National specialization policy versus farmers’ priorities: Balancing subsistence farming and cash cropping in Nepal

Holmelin, Nina (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)

The Nepali Government is currently implementing policies for a radical agricultural transformation into large-scale, mechanized, specialized and commercial farming. However, the peasants prioritize diversified subsistence ...

Natural short-lived halogens exert an indirect cooling effect on climate

Saiz-Lopez, Alfonso; Fernandez, Rafael P.; Li, Qinyi; Cuevas, Carlos A.; Fu, Xiao; Kinnison, Douglas E.; Tilmes, Simone; Mahajan, Anoop S.; Gómez Martín, Juan Carlos; Iglesias-Suarez, Fernando; Hossaini, Ryan; Plane, John M. C.; Myhre, Gunnar; Lamarque, Jean-François (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)

Observational evidence shows the ubiquitous presence of ocean-emitted short-lived halogens in the global atmosphere1,2,3. Natural emissions of these chemical compounds have been anthropogenically amplified since pre-industrial ...

Near- and long-term global warming of current emissions

Lund, Marianne Tronstad; Stjern, Camilla Weum; Samset, Bjørn Hallvard; Aamaas, Borgar; Kallbekken, Steffen (2018:15, Research report, 2018-11-05)

Human activities influence the climate in a range of ways. While emissions of CO2 from burning of fossil fuels is the dominant factor behind the present rapid global warming, many other gases and particles also contribute. ...

Neglected implications of land-use and land-cover changes on the climate-health nexus

Orlov, Anton; Aunan, Kristin; Mistry, Malcolm N; Lejeune, Quentin; Pongratz, Julia; Thiery, Wim; Gasparrini, Antonio; Reed, Eilif Ursin; Schleussner, Carl-Friedrich (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)

Climate change can substantially affect temperature-related mortality and morbidity, especially under high greenhouse gas emission pathways. Achieving the Paris Agreement goals require not only drastic reductions in fossil ...

Net Zero: Science, Origins, and Implications

Allen, Myles R.; Friedlingstein, Pierre; Girardin, Cécile A.J.; Jenkins, Stuart; Malhi, Yadvinder; Mitchell-Larson, Eli; Peters, Glen Philip; Rajamani, Lavanya (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)

This review explains the science behind the drive for global net zero emissions and why this is needed to halt the ongoing rise in global temperatures. We document how the concept of net zero carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions ...

A new halocarbon absorption model based on HITRAN cross-section data and new estimates of halocarbon instantaneous clear-sky radiative forcing

Buehler, Stefan A.; Brath, Manfred; Lemke, Oliver; Hodnebrog, Øivind; Pincus, Robert; Eriksson, Patrick; Gordon, Iouli; Larsson, Richard (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)

The article describes a new practical model for the infrared absorption of chlorofluorocarbons and other gases with dense spectra, based on high-resolution transmission molecular absorption database (HITRAN) absorption ...
