    Supporting carbon tax implementation in developing countries through results : based payments for emissions reductions (2020)

    Content: This paper discusses compensation mechanisms to strengthen incentives for lower-income countries to adopt carbon taxes through donor-funded support programs. The paper considers two cases: the provision of climate finance when the host country uses the additional mitigation to meet its own greenhouse gas mitigation target (the "incremental cost price"); and a transaction in an international carbon market with the mitigation credit created by host country mitigation transferred outside the country (the "opportunity cost price"). Both offset the host country's deadweight loss from imposing a carbon tax, which is lower when the host country enjoys large co-benefits from mitigation. Formulas are derived for the incremental cost price and the opportunity cost price. The opportunity cost price is always larger than the incremental cost price, as the host country under the opportunity cost price must use additional, more expensive mitigation policies to reach its mitigation target. The paper discusses additional costs and barriers that deter hosts from adopting carbon taxes. These arguments can help to explain why few low-income countries have so far adopted carbon taxes, and why the necessary compensation for tax adoption may exceed theoretical assessments

    Transformational climate finance : donors' willingness to support deep and transformational greenhouse gas emissions reductions in lower-income countries (2020)

    Series Statement: Policy research working paper 9251
    Content: This paper uses simple analytical models to study high-income donor countries' willingness to pay to supply mitigation finance to low-income countries; how this depends on modality for finance supply; and how it changes as the global greenhouse gas mitigation agenda moves forward. The paper focuses on two modalities: transformational project-based mitigation finance (transitioning from fossil to non-fossil energy use at scale), and transformational policy-based mitigation finance support (implementing comprehensive carbon taxation). These modalities are compared with conventional finance for which donors have lower willingness to pay. High-income countries' willingness to pay is higher when mitigation is combined with carbon taxation; private-sector finance is also more highly incentivized. Reaching the transformational mitigation finance stage can be challenging, as it may require large provision of mitigation finance with negative net returns to high-income countries. Willingness to pay will be higher when high-income countries collaborate in the provision of mitigation finance. The findings show that more effective collaboration can be sustained when it is enforced by an international financial institution that collects and spends the provided mitigation finance to induce efficient mitigation activity in low-income countries and collaboration among donors is enforced by simple tit-for-tat reaction strategies

    Series Statement: Routledge explorations in sustainability and governance
    Content: "The Circular Economy in Europe presents an overview and a critical discussion on how circularity is conceived, imagined and enacted in current EU policy-making. In 2013, the idea of a circular economy entered the stage of European policy-making in the efforts to reconcile environmental and economic policy objectives. In 2019 the European Commission declared in a press release that the Circular Economy Action Plan has been delivered. The level of circularity in the European economy, however, has remained the same. Bringing together perspectives from social sciences, environmental economics and policy analysis, The Circular Economy in Europe provides a critical analysis of policies and promises of the next panacea for growth and sustainability. The authors provide a theoretical and empirical basis to discuss how contemporary societies conceive their need to re-organise production and consumption and explores the messy assemblage of institutions, actors, waste streams, biophysical flows, policy objectives, scientific disciplines, values, expectations, promises and aspirations involved. This book is essential reading for all those interested in understanding how ideas about the circular economy emerged historically, how they gained traction and are used in policy processes, and what the practical challenges in implementing this policy are"--

    Content: Mit zwölf Jahren teilten sie sich ein Zimmer im Internat: Alex Fletcher, schüchtern und verängstigt, und der immer wütende Darren Rust. Freunde wurden sie nie. Dafür war Darren einfach zu seltsam mit seiner krankhaften Neugier auf den Tod. Eine Neugier, die ihn in etwas Unheimliches verwandelte. Das ist eine Ewigkeit her. Alex ist längst verheiratet und glücklicher Vater. Doch jetzt ist Darren zurück. Er ist der Faszination des Todes jetzt völlig verfallen. Und er sucht einen Seelenverwandten: Alex. Lass uns töten ist ein unvergesslicher Psychothriller. Jack Ketchum: "Jeff Strand hat den Geist von Richard Laymon zum neuen Leben erweckt. Laymon hätte den Roman geliebt." Publishers Weekly: "Unglaublich gruselig." Douglas Preston: "Ein zutiefst beunruhigender Psychothriller. Die verstörende Beziehung zwischen zwei Freunden aus Kindertagen, die mehr als nur Feinde werden ... Unerbittlich, packend und beängstigend." Der Autor Jeff Strand (geboren 1970) ist Amerikaner. Er hat viele Romane und Kurzgeschichten geschrieben, aber auch Drehbücher und Sketche für Comedy-Shows. Seine Werke sind geprägt durch einen eigenwilligen makabren Humor. Als Einflüsse auf sein eigenes Schreiben nennt er Autoren wie Douglas Adams, Richard Laymon, Dave Barry oder Jack Ketchum.
