Calibrating Tropical Forest Coexistence in Ecosystem Demography Models Using Multi-Objective Optimization Through Population-Based Parallel Surrogate Search
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Tropical forest diversity governs forest structures, compositions, and influences the ecosystem response to environmental changes. Better representation of forest diversity in ecosystem demography (ED) models within Earth ... -
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?
(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
(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 policy packaging help overcome Pigouvian tax aversion? A lab experiment on combining taxes and subsidies
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Tax aversion makes it politically challenging to introduce Pigouvian taxes. One proposed solution to overcome this resistance is to package policies. Using an online lab experiment, we investigate whether combining a tax ... -

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?
(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 and Greenhouse Gas Budgets of Europe: Trends, Interannual and Spatial Variability, and Their Drivers
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)In the framework of the RECCAP2 initiative, we present the greenhouse gas (GHG) and carbon (C) budget of Europe. For the decade of the 2010s, we present a bottom-up (BU) estimate of GHG net-emissions of 3.9 Pg CO2-eq. yr−1 ... -
Carbon capture and storage projects under the climate policy regime: The case of Halten CO2
(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
(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 ... -

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 ... -
