Quantifying the cost uncertainty of climate stabilization policies
Climate change researchers are often asked to evaluate potential economic effects of climate stabilization policies. Policy costs are particularly important because policymakers use a cost/benefit framework to analyze policy options. Many different models have been developed to estimate economic …

The Climate Emergency and the Need for Global Climate Stabilization: The Role of Energy Efficiency in Climate Policy
<p>Global climate change is a worldwide challenge requiring a coordinated, international policy response. However, political pressures and disagreements between developed and developing countries have obstructed past climate negotiations and have stalled the adoption of binding greenhouse gas …

The EU ETS: A Critical Analysis
… trade programs, are the dominant means by which climate stabilization is currently being pursued worldwide, with many centered around the European Union’s Emissions Trading Scheme. As such, a critical analysis of the EU ETS & its effectiveness is crucial to assess whether the EU carbon market is …

Bridging the energy divide and securing higher collective wellbeing in a climate-constrained world
… to the already daunting challenge of securing climate stabilization. This thesis examines the potential incompatibility between these two efforts by estimating the additional energy needed to secure higher collective wellbeing across the globe by mid-century based on regional energy …

Climate impact metrics for energy technology evaluation
The climate change mitigation potential of energy technologies depends on how their lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions compare to global climate stabilization goals. Current methods for comparing technologies, which assess impacts over an arbitrary, fixed time horizon, do not acknowledge the …

An analysis of how climate policies and the threat of stranded fossil fuel assets incentivize CCS deployment
To be on track to stabilize climate change, scientists estimate that up to two thirds of global coal, oil, and natural gas reserves will need to remain stranded in the ground. Carbon capture and storage (CCS) is the only technology that has the potential to mitigate climate change while utilizing …

Passenger transport in China under climate constraints : general equilibrium analysis, uncertainty, and policy
… These are explored under a no-policy baseline, a climate-stabilization policy, and with a policy that extends the emissions-intensity goal of China's Twelfth Five-Year Plan-both policies are modelled as caps creating prices on carbon. Examining the results, I find that trends in growth are only …

Multimodal Data Fusion for Estimating Electricity Access and Demand
… role in virtually all credible pathways towards climate stabilization: power sector emissions must be cut to near-zero by mid-century, and the power sector must also expand to electrify and therefore decarbonize a larger share of total energy use. The IEA’s “Net Zero by 2050” roadmap for net zero …
