Implications of governance structures on urban climate action: evidence from Italy and Spain
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2014-03-26)
Cities are widely recognised as being pivotal to fight climate change. Cities magnify the drivers of climate change, experience the impacts and also concentrate the highest room for action. Given the 70% of the global ...
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 ...
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). ...
Aspects of quality control of wind profiler measurements in complex topography
(Copernicus Gesellschaft, 2014)
It is well known in the scientific community that some remote sensing instruments assume that sample volumes present homogeneous conditions within a defined meteorological profile. At complex topographic sites and under ...
Biotic vs. Abiotic Control of Decomposition: A Comparison of the Effects of Simulated Extinctions and Changes in Temperature
(Public Library of Science, 2014-01)
The loss of species is known to have significant effects on ecosystem functioning, but only recently has it been recognized that species loss might rival the effects of other forms of environmental change on ecosystem ...
Properties of convergence of a class of iterative processes generated by sequences of self-mappings with applications to switched dynamic systems
(Springer International Publishing, 2014-12-15)
This article investigates the convergence properties of iterative processes involving sequences of self-mappings of metric or Banach spaces. Such sequences are built from a set of primary self-mappings which are either ...
