Climate change: scenarios, impacts, policy, and development opportunities
概述IPCC评估报告关于温室气体排放的经济驱动因素及气候变化对农业的影响,分析政策设计与碳预算约束,探讨稳定排放所需的投资规模及其对经济发展的启示。
Abstract This article is divided into three parts. First, it provides an overview of the main outcomes of the last IPCC assessment report, both in terms of economic drivers of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and in terms of impacts of climate change, in particular for the agriculture sector. Then, it focuses on policy options and their optimal design, taking into account technological availability, international cooperation, and above all the stringency of the remaining carbon budget. Finally, it analyzes the size and direction of investment decisions required to stabilize GHG emissions and their implications for economic development.
