A Third Wave in the Economics of Climate Change (2015, background): “PEMs tend to disaggregate more than POMs (to the country or sectoral level), but they usually assume that the (benevolent) social planner is able to perfectly implement the most cost-effective mitigation pathway (Kunreuther et al. 2014, p. 178) based on the various representative agents.”
Integrating Global Climate Change Mitigation Goals with Other Sustainability Objectives: A Synthesis (2015, neutral): “…l y the These include the levels of socioeconomic and technological development, distributional aspects, risk perceptions, and priority settings for nonclimate objectives (7, 19, 22). n i v r s it is no single preferred mitigation pathway for cost-effectively meeting any speciﬁc temperature goal.”
Report of the high-level commission on carbon prices (2017, background): “The central role of learning, knowledge generation, and innovation, together with these uncertainties, means that policy design will have to be dynamic and adaptive (O’Brien and Selboe 2015; Kunreuther et al. 2014; Lempert and Schlesinger 2000).”
What shapes perceptions of climate change? New research since 2010 (2016, background): “The assessment of current and prediction of future climate change, its causes, and its consequences, as summarized and communicated by the Fifth Assessment Report (FAR) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate change (IPCC) involves uncertainty from multiple sources.(24) The FAR suggests to move in”
2 °C and SDGs: united they stand, divided they fall? (2016, background): “…of these risk profiles and any trade-off across risk dimensions requires evaluation and weighting—and this depends on the locally specific policy contexts and differ depending on individual priorities and risk perceptions (Slovic 1987, Jakob and Edenhofer 2014, Kunreuther et al 2014).”
Evaluating process-based integrated assessment models of climate change mitigation (2017, background): “(20) discusses the applications and limitations of process-based and benefit-cost integrated assessment models in mitigation analysis (also see Stanton, Ackerman and Kartha (131) for a comparative review).”
