    Author : Anna Katarina Elofsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; local governance; biofuels; climate policy instruments; aviation;

    Abstract : The aviation sector is affected by local, national, multinational (EU) and/or global climate policies targeting domestic, intra-European and intercontinental flights in different and partly overlapping ways.

  4. 17. Climate Change Policy of Bio-Energy: A Computable General Equilibrium Analysis

    Author : Rahimaisa Abdula; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; bio-energy; climate change policy; land-use change; and computable general equilibrium;

    Abstract : This paper explores the intersectoral and land-use dynamics behind bio-energy�??s development as a climate change policy. Bio-energy from agriculture and forestry can potentially mitigate the emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) from energy use and land-use changes (LUC) by its substitution to fossil fuels and its diversion of land-use to biomass plantation.

Without a global government that can maintain order states do not want to act the sucker. READ MORE

  6. 19. Sustainable Urban and Regional Development and Related Ecosystem Services and Water-Climate Interactions
