Policy Entrepreneurship Curbed by Member State Preferences: DG Climate Action and the Effort Sharing Policy
(2018:10, Research report, 2018-07-11)Efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the European Union (EU) are divided between two sector overreaching policy frameworks, the Emissions Trading Scheme and the Effort Sharing policy. The Effort Sharing policy ... -
Policy invention and entrepreneurship: Bankrolling the burying of carbon in the EU
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014)This article presents the case of a policy invention where various kinds of entrepreneurship and a window of opportunity played important roles. In 2008 the EU adopted a new Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) policy with an ... -
The politics of domestic climate governance: making sense of complex participation patterns
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)This article reviews literature on six actor groups engaged in domestic mitigation governance. It evaluates the usefulness of three climate governance models: market failure, socio-technological transition and public ... -
Pollution, technology transfer and sustainable growth
(1993:11, Working paper, 1993)_________________________________________________________ The author of this report, Hans Gottinger, has been regrettably found guilty of several counts of plagiarism. While we have no definitive proof that this particular ... -
Possible criteria for differentiated commitments: Fair or feasible?
(1997:07, Working paper, 1997)This paper discusses the notion of differentiated commitments or burden sharing in the ongoing negotiations on emissions reductions of greenhouse gases. The negotiations, which takes place in the Ad Hoc Group on the Berlin ... -
Possible Effects of Greenhouse Gases to Ozone Profiles and DNA Active UV-B Irradiance at Ground Level
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)In this paper, we compare model calculations of ozone profiles and their variability for the period 1998 to 2016 with satellite and lidar profiles at five ground-based stations. Under the investigation is the temporal ... -
Post-Paris policy relevance: lessons from the IPCC SR15 process
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Policy relevance is the raison d’être for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), yet few studies have analysed what the concept entails, not least from the perspective of key target groups for the IPCC. We ... -
Potensial og barrierer for kommunale klimatiltak
(2018:03, Research report, 2018-04-25)I denne rapporten har vi sett på potensial og barrierer for lokale klimatiltak der vi har lagt til grunn at Norge fram mot 2050 må redusere sine klimagassutslipp med 80-90% for å bli et såkalt lavutslippssamfunn. Skal Norge ... -
Potential for bias in effective climate sensitivity from state-dependent energetic imbalance
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)To estimate equilibrium climate sensitivity from a simulation where a step change in carbon dioxide concentrations is imposed, a common approach is to linearly extrapolate temperatures as a function of top-of-atmosphere ... -
Pre-industrial to end 21st century projections of tropospheric ozone from the Atmospheric Chemistry and Climate Model Intercomparison Project (ACCMIP)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Present day tropospheric ozone and its changes between 1850 and 2100 are considered, analysing 15 global models that participated in the Atmospheric Chemistry and Climate Model Intercomparison Project (ACCMIP). The ensemble ... -
Precipitation frequency in Med-CORDEX and EURO-CORDEX ensembles from 0.44° to convection-permitting resolution: impact of model resolution and convection representation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Recent studies using convection-permitting (CP) climate simulations have demonstrated a step-change in the representation of heavy rainfall and rainfall characteristics (frequency-intensity) compared to coarser resolution ... -
Predicting Paris: Multi-Method Approaches to Forecast the Outcomes of Global Climate Negotiations
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)We examine the negotiations held under the auspices of the United Nations Framework Convention of Climate Change in Paris, December 2015. Prior to these negotiations, there was considerable uncertainty about whether an ... -
Predictive Skill of Teleconnection Patterns in Twentieth Century Seasonal Hindcasts and Their Relationship to Extreme Winter Temperatures in Europe
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)European winter weather is dominated by several low-frequency teleconnection patterns, the main ones being the North Atlantic Oscillation, East Atlantic, East Atlantic/Western Russia, and Scandinavian patterns. We analyze ... -
Preindustrial to present-day changes in tropospheric hydroxyl radical and methane lifetime from the Atmospheric Chemistry and Climate Model Intercomparison Project (ACCMIP)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)We have analysed time-slice simulations from 17 global models, participating in the Atmospheric Chemistry and Climate Model Intercomparison Project (ACCMIP), to explore changes in present-day (2000) hydroxyl radical (OH) ... -
Prerequisites for Geological Carbon Storage as a Climate Policy Option
(2004:04, Research report, 2004)Carbon storage is increasingly being considered as an important climate change mitigation option. This paper explores provisions for including geological carbon storage in climate policy. The storage capacity of Norway’s ... -

Prevent or repair? Experimental evidence from providing incentives for climate resilient housing in Vietnam
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)We present results from a randomized field experiment in Da Nang in Central Vietnam. We assess the take-up and impacts of a microcredit program that aims to increase the adoption of climate resilient housing among low-income ... -
