No-lose targets as an option to integrate non-annex I countries in global emission reduction efforts

Viac o knihe

No-lose targets set emission reduction targets and define incentives for meeting the target, in contrast to binding reduction targets that use penalties to ensure compliance. In this thesis, two theoretical frameworks are introduced to analyse the potential of no-lose targets to contribute to global emission reduction efforts. In order to complement the highly stylized theoretical frameworks, a quantitative analysis applying marginal abatement cost curves is conducted.
