DIW Berlin Seminar The Carbon Content of Austrian Trade Flows in the European and International Trade Context

Abstract

In this study CO2 emissions embodied in Austrian international trade are quantified employing a 66-region input output model of multidirectional trade. We find that Austria’s final demand CO2 responsibilities on a global scale are 38% higher than conventional statistics report (110 Mt-CO2 versus 79 Mt-CO2 in 2004). For each unit of Austrian final demand, currently two thirds of the thus triggered CO2 emissions occur outside Austrian borders. We then develop a 19-region computable general equilibrium model of Austria and its major trading partners and world regions to find that future Austrian climate policy can achieve the EU 20‐20 emission reduction targets, but that its carbon trade balance would worsen considerably. Both unilateral EU and internationally coordinated climate policies affect Austrian international trade stronger than its domestic production.

DIW Berlin Seminar The century ahead - four global scenarios

Rich Rosen, Tellus Institute, Boston

Over the last decade, concern as to the sustainability of nature and society has greatly increased, and with good reason.  Environmental scientists say with ever greater urgency that action must be taken immediately to begin to mitigate climate change if unacceptable levels of warming are to be avoided.  Additional strong action must be taken to ease the severity of other crises such as energy, water and food shortages.  Similarly, development experts reviewing the full range of human, economic, and institutional crises as they unfold see the need for immediate action on many other fronts to mitigate poverty and oppression, to strengthen social justice, and to enhance human well-being.
 
Dealing with these crucial environmental and development issues begins, then, to address the even broader issue that has been hotly debated for many years, namely can the world achieve a state of “sustainable development” within the next century, or so.  But how can "sustainable development" be  defined and quantified?  How do we know what pathway to sustainable development to take?  Using its Polestar scenario development software, the Tellus Institute has developed four scenarios through the year 2100, one of which, the Great Transition scenario, starts to illustrate quantitatively what sustainable development might look like while the world meets approximately a 350 ppm CO2 target for the atmosphere.  The other three scenarios are entitled:  Market Forces, Policy Reform, and Fortress World.  This work takes off from the work of the Global Scenario Group of ten years ago.

Berlin Lunchtime Meeting Carbon Taxes: Good for the Planet, not bad for Economy

In a recent study supported by the Anglo-German Foundation, researchers from the London School of Economics (LSE) show that carbon taxes can reduce pollution without harming the economy.

Veranstaltung 2nd CESSA conference on natural gas and nuclear power
European energy supply security in a carbon constrained world

The 2nd CESSA conference on natural gas and nuclear power will be hosted by the Electricity Policy Research Group at Cambridge University.

CESSA is a European forum that studies the “economics and policy interfaces for gas and nuclear in the context of energy security of supply and a future hydrogen economy”. It brings together researchers and energy stakeholders of the natural gas, nuclear and hydrogen industries. It aims at developing recommendations for the European level through consensus between academics and stakeholders.

DIW Berlin hosted the 1st CESSA conference "Natural Gas, Nuclear Energy, and Security of Supply", jointly with the Chair of Energy Economics at Dresden University of Technology and Technische Universität Berlin.

Konferenz 2006 Berlin Conference on the Human Dimensions of Global Environmental Change
Ressource Policies: Effectiveness, Efficiency, and Equity

The sustainable use of natural resources has been a challenge for environmental policies from their very beginning. Without an appropriate institutional setting, scarce resources such as water, materials, energy sources, land, etc. are overused, following the infamous logic of the tragedy of the commons. Related to this are issues of effective resource policies, efficient resource consumption, and equity on a global scale. The Berlin Conference Steering Committee and the Environmental Policy and Global Change section of the German Political Science Association and its partners invite papers for the 2006 Berlin Conference on the Human Dimensions of Global Environmental Change, to be held in Berlin on 17-18 November 2006.
