This book presents provides a rigorous yet accessible treatment of
the main topics in climate change policy using a large body of
research generated using WITCH (World Induced Technical Change
Hybrid), an innovative and path-breaking integrated assessment
model.The authors give a particular emphasis to the analysis of
technological change necessary to build low-carbon economies. The
WITCH model can track all of the actions which impact the level of
mitigation - such as R&D expenditures, investments in
carbon-free technologies and adaptation, purchases of emission
permits, or expenditures for carbon taxes - thus allowing for the
evaluation of equilibrium responses stimulated by different climate
policy tools. The chapters examine various questions to explore the
future of climate change policy. Why is it so hard to achieve a
global agreement that paves the way to widespread reductions of
carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions? What are the
technologies that would deliver clean energy without harming
economic growth? And finally, how does uncertainty about future
policies and future technologies affect choices in the present?
This innovative book will appeal to researchers, policy makers and
academics interested in climate change policy. Contributors: V.
Bosetti, C. Carraro, E. De Cian, T. Longden, E. Massetti, L.
Nicita, F. Sferra, A. Sgobbi, M. Tavoni
