Burden differentiation of greenhouse gas abatement: Criteria for evaluation and development of burden-sharing rules
(2000:01, Working paper, 2000)This article discusses nine criteria for evaluation of potential Burden Sharing Rules (BSRs) in climate policy agreements. Three of the criteria reflect fairness principles while six of them are operational requirements. ... -
Burden differentiation of greenhouse gas abatement: Fairness principles and proposals
(1999:13, Working paper, 1999)This report is the second working paper of the joint CICERO (Center for International Climate and Environmental Research, Oslo) and ECN (Netherlands Energy Research Foundation) project ‘Rules for Burden Differentiation of ... -
Burden differentiation: GHG emissions, undercurrents and mitigation costs
(1999:14, Working paper, 1999) -
Business as UNusual: the implications of fossil divestment and green bonds for financial flows, economic growth and energy market
(2016:01, Working paper, 2016)Green bonds and fossil divestment has emerged as a bottom-up approach to climate action within the business community. Recent pledges by large banks and institutional investors have reached levels that have the potential ... -
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 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 ... -
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 ... -
Carbon taxes: An international tax or harmonized domestic taxes?
(1991:01, Working paper, 1991) -
CDM baseline methodologies and carbon leakage
(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 ... -
Choosing regulatory options when environmental costs are uncertain
(1993:05, 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 ... -
Climate agreements: Optimal taxation of fossil fuels and the distribution of cost and benefits across countries
(1997:05, Working paper, 1997)The paper analyses governments' response to a climate agreement that commits themselves to reducing their emissions of CO2. A formula for optimal taxation of fossil fuels in open economies subject both to an emission ... -
Climate Change Adaptation and Residential Electricity Demand in Europe
(2009:01, Working paper, 2009) -
Climate change and environmental assessments: Issues in an African perspective
(1997:02, Working paper, 1997)The present study discusses the potential for integrating climate change issues into environmental assessments (EAs) of development actions, with emphasis on sub-Sahara Africa. The study is motivated by the fact that future ... -
Climate change impacts on agricultural productivity in Norway
(2004:10, Working paper, 2004)Climate change is likely to affect agricultural productivity. In this study, a biophysical statistical model is used to analyze the relationship between yields of potatoes, barley, oats and wheat per decare, and temperature ... -
Climate change policymaking: Three explanatory models
(2000:06, Working paper, 2000)This paper gives an outline of three explanatory approaches to policymaking processes that allow the development of a rich set of non-trivial, probable assumptions. These assumptions provide a foundation for understanding ... -
Climate change: Some elements from the scientific background and the scientific process
(1998:11, Working paper, 1998)Concluding remarks: On the nature of the climate problem The problem of climate change is not, despite popular conception, mainly a problem of increased global average temperature. The seriousness of the problem is more ... -
Climate policy futures, energy markets, and technology: Implications for Norway
(2000:09, Working paper, 2000)This paper is part of the joint CICERO and Fridtjof Nansen Institute (FNI) project “Towards a cost-effective climate policy: The international framework and Norwegian policy framework” (“Mot en effektiv klimapolitikk: ... -
Climate policy, asymmetric information and firm survival
(1998:10, Working paper, 1998)The purpose of this paper is to compare the effect of different domestic climate policy instruments under asymmetric information when the regulator wants to secure the survival of a specific firm. It is a well-known result ...
