New climate scenario framework implementation in the GCAM integrated assessment model
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2014-08-27)
This report has various objectives: (i) to provide an overview of the climate Integrated Assessment approach; (ii) to describe the Global Climate Assessment Model (GCAM); (iii) to outline the new IPCC scenario framework ...
A dynamic CGE modelling approach for analyzing trade-offs in climate change policy options: the case of Green Climate Fund
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2014-09-08)
We investigate the trade-offs between economic growth and low carbon targets for developing and developed countries in the period up to 2035. Policy options are evaluated with an original version of the dynamic CGE model ...
The use of “Bonus-Malus” schemes for promoting energy-efficient household appliances: a case study for Spain
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2014-09-22)
Subsidies to promote the purchase of energy-efficient household appliances have been extensively used in many countries. This paper deals with the case of the Spanish rebate scheme, and proposes the use of both subsidies ...
How are Italian and Spanish cities tackling climate change? A local comparative study
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2014-03-26)
Cities are widely recognised as being pivotal to fight climate change. They magnify the drivers of climate change, experience the impacts and also concentrate the highest room for action. Although urban areas are broadly ...
Local air pollution and global climate change taxes: a distributional analysis
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2014-02-17)
Local air pollution and global climate change are two significant environmental problems which are interrelated. Some recent papers examine them together, but most of the relevant literature has focused either on climate ...
Decarbonising urban transportation
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2013-12-13)
The transportation sector is a major contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for around one-quarter of current annual emissions. Surface transportation (passenger vehicles, buses, rail, and freight ...
Modelling the Effect of Climate Change on Environmental Pollution Losses from Dairy Systems in the UK
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2009-10-20)
So far, there has been strong emphasis on studying the impacts of climate change on agriculture in terms of changes in food production; however, there is increasing evidence that agricultural ecosystems (e.g. livestock) ...
Hunting spectro-temporal information in unevenly spaced paleoclimate time series
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2014-10-24)
Here we present some preliminary results of a statistical–computational implementation to estimate the wavelet spectrum of unevenly spaced paleoclimate time series by means of the Morlet Weighted Wavelet Z-Transform (MWWZ). ...
The Determinants of Energy Efficiency Investments in the U.S.
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2010-11-08)
This paper analyses decisions on energy efficiency (EE) investments by small and medium manufacturing enterprises in the U.S. which have received assessment from the Department of Energy (DoE). The results confirm the ...
Optimal Abandonment of Coal-Fired Stations in the EU
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2010-05-26)
Carbon-fired power plants could face some difficulties in a carbon-constrained world. The traditional advantage of coal as a cheaper fuel may decrease in the future if CO2 allowance prices start to increase. This paper ...
