(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2010-10-25)
In recent years there has been considerable scientific and public debate on climate change and its direct and indirect effects on human health. According to the World Health Organization (WHO, 2006), some 2.5 million people ...
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 ...
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 ...
Economic Assessment of Forest Ecosystem Services Losses: Cost of Policy Inaction
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2010-09-13)
This paper presents a bottom-up methodological framework for estimating some of the key ecosystem services provided by forests biomes worldwide. We consider the provision of wood and non-wood forest products, recreation ...
The Economic Impacts of Biodiversity Policy for Improving the Climate Regulating Services Provided by EU Natura 2000 Habitats
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2012-10)
We adopted the state-of-the-art methodologies to quantify the total carbon stocked by Natura 2000 habitats as well as to project the future changes of carbon stocks influenced by alternative policy options for the management ...
Low Climate Stabilisation under Diverse Growth and Convergence Scenarios
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2012-08-01)
In the last decade, a few papers have analysed the consequences of achieving the greenhouse gas concentration levels necessary to maintain global temperature increases below 2 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels. ...
The long road of climate negotiations: From Kyoto to Paris stopping over in Doha
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2013-02-05)
Expectations about the COP18 Doha round of climate negotiations were low and countries were successful in making some progress, but only incrementally. A second commitment period (from 1 January 2013 to 31 December 2020) ...

(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2014-04-25)
The IPCC Report shows increasing confidence of current impacts of anthropogenic climate change, including migration of species in oceans and diminishing crop yields. *Adaptation is widely occurring and has become the central ...
Is the current EU climate instrument mix adequate?
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2014-09-24)
The EU is on track to meet the 2020 targets for greenhouse gas emissions reduction and renewable energy. However, climate policies have not been the main drivers of emission reductions but the economic crisis. *The price ...
