From integrated to integrative: Delivering on the paris agreement
(MDPI, 2018)
In pursuit of the drastic transformations necessary for effectively responding to climate change, the Paris Agreement stresses the need to design and implement sustainable, robust, and socially acceptable policy pathways ...
Health co-benefits from air pollution and mitigation costs of the Paris Agreement: a modelling study
(Elsevier, 2018)
Background: Although the co-benefits from addressing problems related to both climate change and air pollution have been recognised, there is not much evidence comparing the mitigation costs and economic benefits of air ...
Border Carbon Adjustments Based on Avoided Emissions: Addressing the Challenge of Its Design
(Elsevier, 2018)
Carbon pricing is an essential instrument to address climate change. However international differences in carbon control policies may cause not only carbon leakage but also competitiveness disadvantages. In this context, ...
The potential of behavioural change for climate change mitigation: a case study for the European Union
(Springer, 2018)
Mainstream literature on climate change concentrates overwhelmingly on technological solutions for this global long-term problem, while a change towards climate-friendly behaviour could play a role in emission reduction ...
Why do some economies benefit more from climate finance than others? A case study on North-to-South financial flows
(The International Input Output Association, 2018)
The Copenhagen and Paris Agreements, in which developed countries committed to mobilise USD 100 billion a year by 2020, indicate that climate finance will continue to grow. Even though economic development is not the aim ...
Biophysical and socioeconomic state and links of deltaic areas vulnerable to climate change: Volta (Ghana), Mahanadi (India) and Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna (India and Bangladesh)
(MDPI, 2018)
We examine the similarities and differences of specific deltaic areas in parallel, under the project DEltas, vulnerability and Climate Change: Migration and Adaptation (DECCMA). The main reason for studying Deltas is their ...
Accounting for Raw Material Embodied in Imports by Multi-regional Input-Output Modelling and Life Cycle Assessment, Using Finland as a Study Case
(Elsevier, 2018)
The two main methods used to estimate raw material embodied in imports are life cycle assessment (LCA) and multi-regional input-output (MRIO) models. The key advantage of LCA is its higher product resolution but it relies ...
Importance of fisheries for food security across three climate change vulnerable deltas
(Elsevier, 2018)
Deltas are home to a large and growing proportion of the world's population, often living in conditions of extreme poverty. Deltaic ecosystems are ecologically significant as they support high biodiversity and a variety ...
Applying the global RCP SSP SPA scenario framework at sub-national scale: A multi-scale and participatory scenario approach
(Elsevier, 2018)
To better anticipate potential impacts of climate change, diverse information about the future is required, including climate, society and economy, and adaptation and mitigation. To address this need, a global RCP ...
Decoupling between human development and energy consumption within footprint accounts
(Elsevier, 2018)
Historically, the growth of energy consumption has fuelled human development, but this approach is no longer socially and environmentally sustainable. Recent analyses suggest that some individual countries have responded ...
