The 'best available science' to inform 1.5°C policy choices
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)An IPCC Special Report on 1.5 °C should focus on resolving fundamental scientific and political uncertainties, not fixate on developing unachievable mitigation pathways. -
The acceptability of efficiency-enhancing environmental taxes, subsidies and regulation: An experimental investigation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012)Public opposition to efficiency-enhancing policies is a significant barrier to addressing many environmental challenges. We use a market experiment to explore the acceptability of three types of instruments: Pigouvian taxes ... -
The Atmospheric Chemistry and Climate Model Intercomparison Project (ACCMIP): overview and description of models, simulations and climate diagnostics
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)The Atmospheric Chemistry and Climate Model Intercomparison Project (ACCMIP) consists of a series of time slice experiments targeting the long-term changes in atmospheric composition between 1850 and 2100, with the goal ... -
The Australian terrestrial carbon budget
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)This paper reports a study of the full carbon (C-CO2) budget of the Australian continent, focussing on 1990–2011 in the context of estimates over two centuries. The work is a contribution to the RECCAP (REgional Carbon ... -
The Burning Issues of Punjab: Exploring the Different Futures on Offer when Managing Residue in Punjab’s Rice-Wheat Cropping System
(2024:04, Research report, 2024)The annual rotation from rice to wheat across Punjab leaves millions of tons of straw residue. The preferred method for handling residue has been incineration. This contributes to the winter smog that covers the mega-city ... -

The Commission as policy-maker: The need to venture beyond state-centric integration theory
(1995:05, Working paper, 1995)This article criticizes Andrew Moravcsik´s model of two-level states-EU interaction on three counts: it neglects EU actors, assumes the primacy of state actors, and further assumes that interests are formed prior to policy ... -
The Compensation Fund for Climate Impacts
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Climate change is very likely to lead to undesirable climate impacts. How to compensate for such negative impacts at the international level has, hitherto, received little attention. This article reviews the most frequently ... -

The cost of sectoral differentiation: The case of the EU emissions trading scheme
(2004:08, Working paper, 2004)It is often assumed in the economic literature that the Kyoto Protocol will be implemented through a cost-efficient, comprehensive emissions trading system. However, the general experience from implementation of environmental ... -

The design of a tradeable CO2-quota system under market imperfections
(1996:02, Working paper, 1996)Market power within a system of tradeable CO2-quotas leads to a non-optimal distribution of abatement across countries. In this paper we introduce a quota system that may reduce the adverse effects of market power, and ... -
The development and deployment of low-carbon energy technologies: The role of economic interests and cultural worldviews on public support
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Large-scale deployment of low-carbon energy technologies is crucial to mitigating climate change, and public support is an important barrier to policies and projects that facilitate deployment. This paper provides insights ... -
