Investment barriers under a renewable-electricity support scheme: Differences across investor types
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)In 2012, Norway and Sweden implemented a common market for tradable green certificates to achieve each country's renewable-energy target. This is the first example of a cooperation mechanism that the EU has suggested to ... -
Climate response to externally mixed black carbon as a function of altitude
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)The climate response to the presence of black carbon (BC) aerosol at a given altitude in the atmosphere is investigated using a global circulation model. The vertical dependence of the efficiency with which BC exerts ... -
Market and policy risk under different renewable electricity support schemes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)Worldwide, renewable electricity projects are granted production support to ensure competitiveness. Depending on the design of these support schemes, the cash inflows to investment projects will be more or less exposed to ... -
Troublesome leisure travel: Counterproductive sustainable transport policies
(Chapter, 2015)In this chapter, we present three well-established sustainable transport policies – developing more compact cities, building pro-environment awareness and attitudes, and promoting growth of information and communication ... -
Quantitative analysis of age pattern of household consumption in urban and rural China

Metrics for linking emissions of gases and aerosols to global precipitation changes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)Recent advances in understanding have made it possible to relate global precipitation changes directly to emissions of particular gases and aerosols that influence climate. Using these advances, new indices are developed ... -
Look to Sweden: The making of a new renewable energy support scheme in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)Two renewable energy support schemes have spread across Europe: green certificate schemes (GCSs) and feed-in tariffs (FITs). After a decade-long policy-making process, Norwegian decision makers decided in 2011 to adopt a ... -
Reaching peak emissions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)Rapid growth in global CO2 emissions from fossil fuels and industry ceased in the past two years, despite continued economic growth. Decreased coal use in China was largely responsible, coupled with slower global growth ... -
Top ten European heatwaves since 1950 and their occurrence in the coming decades
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)The Russian heatwave in 2010 killed tens of thousands of people, and was by far the worst event in Europe since at least 1950, according to recent studies and a novel universal heatwave index capturing both the duration ... -

Distributive fairness: A mutual recognition approach
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Can norms of distributive fairness serve as pillars of a new and more effective global climate regime? Three general principles – responsibilities, capabilities (capacity), and needs (or rights) – are frequently invoked ... -
Measuring a fair and ambitious climate agreement using cumulative emissions
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)Policy makers have called for a 'fair and ambitious' global climate agreement. Scientific constraints, such as the allowable carbon emissions to avoid exceeding a 2 °C global warming limit with 66% probability, can help ... -
The Geoengineering Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (GeoMIP6): Simulation design and preliminary results
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)We present a suite of new climate model experiment designs for the Geoengineering Model Intercomparison Project (GeoMIP). This set of experiments, named GeoMIP6 (to be consistent with the Coupled Model Intercomparison ... -
Endogenous Minimum Participation in International Environmental Agreements: An Experimental Analysis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Almost all international environmental treaties require a minimum number of countries to ratify the treaty before it enters into force. Despite the wide-spread use of this mechanism, little is known about its effectiveness ... -
