SUMMARY:RFF-CMCC EIEE Webinar - Bento
DESCRIPTION:Title: Why do inefficient policies persist? Evidence from Energy Subsidies in Brazil \nSpeaker: Antonio M. Bento\, University of Southern California and NBER\nModerator: Luis Sarmiento\, RFF-CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment (EIEE)\, Centro Euro-Mediterraneo sui Cambiamenti Climatici \nAuthors:\nAntonio M. Bento (University of Southern California and NBER)\nClaudio Lucinda (University of Sao Paulo)\nNoah Miller (University of Southern California) \nabstract: Policymakers often rely on energy subsidies as a strategy for to control inflation\, and transferring wealth to sub-groups of the population. Once introduced\, these subsidies tend to persist in time. Taking advantage of an unexpected announcement to phase out a persistent energy subsidy in fuel markets in Brazil\, we estimate its effects to Petrobras – brazil’s main oil company controlled by the government\, in an event-study setting. We then embed these econometric estimates into an equilibrium model to examine the overall costs\, the distributional impacts\, and political economy considerations of this program.\nOur central result implies that the continuation of the energy subsidy would have resulted in an overall cost to Petrobras of approximately $18.827 billion Brazilian reais. This subsidy would have transferred approximately $9.088 billion to consumers. For every dollar transferred to consumers via an artificially fixed lower gasoline prices\, the distortionary cost of was roughly $1\, and many orders of magnitude higher than other alternative subsidies that don’t protect consumers against fluctuations in international crude oil prices or cash transfers. Further\, although the political coalition that supported the government would have likely benefited more from these other alternative instruments\, the highly inefficient price freeze persisted\, which is consistent with a policymakers with risk averse preferences for policy change.

SUMMARY:The Global Climate Policy Partnership
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the launch event of the Global Climate Policy Partnership\, a global network of research institutions helping major economies and businesses achieve ambitious climate goals. During this webinar we’ll delve into a crucial component of the climate challenge: the manufacturing sector. While one-fifth of global carbon dioxide emissions come from this sector\, structuring policies to reduce these emissions is complicated by the fact that manufactured products are often traded on competitive international markets. National policies designed to reduce emissions inevitably raise the cost of production and can lead to lost domestic and international competitiveness\, and the leakage of emissions to nations with less stringent emission reduction policies. \nBoth the European Union and the United States are developing policies that would impose tariffs on imported primary commodities and complex goods from nations deemed to have weak industrial emissions limitation policies. This virtual event\, part of the Climate Week NYC 2022 activations\, will bring together global experts to review current policy proposals and discuss their implications for the climate challenge. \nSpeakers\n\nKeigo Akimoto\, Research Institute of Innovative Technology for the Earth\nJos Delbeke\, European University Institute School of Transnational Governance\nCarolyn Fischer\, Resources for the Future\, World Bank\nMichael Jakob\, Ecologic Institute\nSuzi Kerr\, Environmental Defense Fund\nRoberto Schaeffer\, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro\nRaymond Kopp\, Resources for the Future (Moderator)

SUMMARY:SWEEEP Webinar series – Florian Oswald
DESCRIPTION:Title: Fiscal Policy for Climate Change \nSpeaker: Florian Oswald\, Sciences Po University\, France\nModerator: Severin Reissl\, RFF-CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment (EIEE)\, Centro Euro Mediterraneo sui Cambiamenti Climatici\, Italy\n \nAuthors: François Le Grand\, Florian Oswald\, Xavier Ragot and Aurélien Saussay\n \nAbstract: Fiscal policy offers a number of levers to reduce carbon emissions. Climate change mitigation can for example be\nimplemented through carbon taxation on the production or consumption side\, or through debt-financed public investments in\nemission-reducing infrastructure. Yet these various instruments may differ significantly in their cost-effectiveness in reducing\nemissions and in their distributional impacts among households. We develop a macroeconomic heterogeneous-agent model with environmental externalities to address both of these questions. In this model\, households derive utility from the consumption of carbon-intensive and clean goods\, and from the environmental damages resulting from CO2 emissions. In addition\, CO2 emissions affect productivity and thus relative prices. We use household data on the distribution carbon-intensive goods consumption to estimate preference parameters. Starting from a realistic fiscal structure\, we then implement various tax reforms to analyze their effects on both CO2 emissions and consumption along the consumption distribution.

SUMMARY:RFF- CMCC- EDITS webinar - Stefan Pauliuk
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Stefan Pauliuk\, University of Freiburg\, Germany.  \nModerator: Laurent Drouet\, RFF-CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment (EIEE)\, Centro Euro-Mediterraneo sui\nCambiamenti Climatici\, Italy \nTitle: Reductions in material production induced by demand-side strategies: Implications for sustainable development \nAbstract: Growing in-use stocks of materials in the technosphere are essential for further human development\, especially in emerging economies\, but also for the energy transition and digital transformation in the Global North. At the same time\, growing in-use stocks are a major obstacle for a circular economy and they are major drivers of environmental destruction and GHG emissions from material production from primary resources.\nDemand-side solutions from efficiency and sufficiency strategies can lead to reduced need for new products and thus new materials. I\npresent modelling results for the LED scenario (Grubler et al. 2018) for the impact of demand-side strategies for passenger vehicles and buildings on material production and related GHG emissions. I will explain the data and assumptions that went into our scenarios and\npoint out the shortcomings of the modelling approach used. The discussion can then focus on approaches for consistent and inter-disciplinary low demand modelling of industrial output and material production\, in particular. \n

SUMMARY:ELEVATE Kick-off meeting
DESCRIPTION:ELEVATE – kick-off meeting will take place in The Hague\, on the 14th and 15th of September.  \nELEVATE is a project funded by the European Union’s Horizon Europe programme and the consortium consists of 20 partners and brings together leading research groups to support climate policymaking within and outside the EU. These research groups are involved in modelling international climate policy\, national policies\, social science\, policy analysis\, environmental assessment\, and stakeholder engagement. \nWorld-leading institutions in globally integrated assessment modelling are a central part of the ELEVATE consortium (IIASA\, PBL\, PIK\, CMCC\, E3M\, NIES\, KU\, UFRJ/COPPETEC\, and UMD). This means that the consortium involves all teams that have played a leading role in the coordination and development of the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways\, which serve to integrate the assessment of mitigation\, adaptation and impacts research across the climate change science community. \nTo implement the Paris Agreement’s goals\, greenhouse gas emissions need to be reduced to net zero around 2050. However\, current policies are still insufficient to reach this target and net-zero promises by countries are generally lacking concrete roadmaps on how to reach them. ELEVATE aims to create a robust scientific understanding required to strengthen NDCs and current climate policies toward reaching net-zero emissions. For this\, ELEVATE brings together a unique multidisciplinary consortium of leading international and national modelling teams\, climate policy experts and social scientists. The consortium aims to interact directly with policymakers to define information gaps and attractive policies\, thus enhancing the usability of the knowledge base and stimulating mutual learning. Based on this\, the consortium will systematically assess NDCs and policies at the global and national levels to identify current progress and good practice policies. Subsequently\, ELEVATE will look into a range of critical enabling factors related to sectoral action\, international climate policy and the relationship with justice and sustainable development that can be leveraged to strengthen action. \n  \nMore info will be soon available.

SUMMARY:CMCC-EIEE Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Title: Promoting better lives is good for climate: Potential co-benefits of digital convergence and sharing in consumer goods \n\nSpeaker: Nuno Bento\, Centre for Socioeconomic and Territorial Studies\, ISCTE – University Institute of Lisbon\nModerator: Cristina Cattaneo\, RFF-CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment\, CMCC \n\nAbstract \nAccess to modern energy services (entertainment\, food preparation\, etc.) provided by consumer goods remains unequal\, while growing adoption due to rising incomes in Global South increases energy demand and GHG emissions. The current model through which these energy services is provided is unsustainable and needs to evolve—a goal that emerging social and technological innovations can help to achieve. Digital convergence and sharing economy have potential to make access to appliances more affordable and efficient. This research estimates the effect of innovations around digital convergence and sharing in a highly granular\, bottom-up representation of appliances. We simulate changes in demand for materials and energy\, assuming decent living standards for all and global warming limited to 1.5ºC. By 2050\, these innovations would attenuate the increase in the number of appliances to 135% and reduce energy demand by 28%. These results demonstrate that we can provide decent living standards while advancing climate mitigation. \n

SUMMARY:Border Carbon Adjustments: drivers or impediments for climate ambition?
DESCRIPTION:Countries are increasingly pursuing climate plans consistent with reaching climate neutrality but with different levels of carbon pricing and regulatory effort. Against this backdrop of heterogeneous mitigation incentives\, Border Carbon Adjustments have been proposed to address competitiveness concerns\, to deter emission leakage\, and to encourage ambition\, by ensuring that imports face the same explicit or implicit carbon price faced by domestic producers in countries with more ambitious climate policies. However\, BCAs are institutionally complex\, the evidence of carbon leakage is limited\, and the implications for international cooperation and climate justice are not clear. The aim of this policy session is to assess the environmental and economic impact of border carbon adjustments. Panelists will discuss the potential role of BCAs to promote or deter climate ambition\, and to encourage emission reductions effectively and fairly. \nPanelists: \n\nKeigo Akimoto (Research Institute of Innovative Technology for the Earth)\nFrancesco Bosello (Ca’ Foscari University of Venice; EIEE)\nJos Delbeke (European University Institute)\nCarolyn Fischer (World Bank)\nSuzi Kerr (Environmental Defense Fund)\nRaymond Kopp (Resources For the Future)\nBilly Pizer (Resources for the Future)\n\nThis event will be also streamed online. Further updates will be available soon. \nFor more info please visit http://www.eaere-conferences.org/index.php?p=324 \n  \n

SUMMARY:CMCC@Ca'Foscari  Seminar - Jennifer Dunn
DESCRIPTION:Title: Clues to the future of wastewater treatment under climate change and urbanization\n\nSpeaker: Jennifer Dunn\, Center for Engineering Sustainability and Resilience\, Northwestern-Argonne Institute of Science and Engineering \nModerator: Enrica De Cian\, CMCC@Ca’ Foscari\, RFF-CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment (EIEE) and Venice Ca’ Foscari University \nAbstract: \nWater scarcity will increase as the planet warms. Coupled with increasing urbanization\, climate change will spur increased construction of wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) to provide clean drinking water as well as supply irrigation and other water consumption needs. Accordingly\, one effect of climate change will be to drive up energy consumption in the wastewater sector\, which may\, in turn\, drive up greenhouse gas emissions associated with water provision. This presentation will summarize three efforts to characterize emissions from WWTP and how they may change under climate change scenarios. First\, there have been several increasingly detailed efforts to inventory the wastewater sector in the United States.  We will describe our current efforts in this area as well as the state of WWTP inventory information for other countries and regions of interest including the EU\, India\, Brazil\, and Mexico. Second\, we will describe technology being developed through a National Science Foundation project led by Northwestern University to reduce nitrous oxide emissions from WWTPs.  Nitrous oxide is a potent greenhouse gas with a global warming potential approximately 300 times greater than carbon dioxide. We are using life cycle assessment to guide technology development towards process and product choices that drive these emissions down and limit greenhouse gases from a systems level that considers the entire WWTP. Finally\, we will describe our collaborations with Ca’ Foscari and the CMCC to enhance integrated assessment models’ treatment of the WWTP sector including how it will evolve as the climate changes and how it can represent emerging technology that can reduce the sector’s greenhouse gas emissions. \nSpeaker’s short bio: \nJennifer Dunn studies emerging technologies\, their energy and environmental impacts\, and their potential to influence air pollutant and greenhouse gas emissions\, water consumption\, and energy consumption at the economy-wide level. Particular technologies of interest include biofuels and bioproducts\, automotive lithium-ion batteries\, fuels and chemicals made from carbon capture and utilization technologies and from natural gas liquids\, and resource recovery from wastewater. She applies life cycle analysis as a key tool to evaluate emerging technologies. Dr. Dunn holds a PhD in Chemical Engineering from the University of Michigan. Her undergraduate institution in the same field was Purdue University.  Jennifer holds a joint appointment in the Energy Systems Division of Argonne National Laboratory and is Associate Director of Northwestern’s Center for Engineering Sustainability and Resilience. \n\n\n\nHOW TO PARTICIPATE \nCMCC@Ca’Foscari Seminar – in presence and online\nAULA RADICE\, Ca’ Foscari Challenge School\, VEGA Park\, Ground floor\nPlease note that on-site presence is strongly recommended to allow interactions during the Seminars.\nHowever\, we have a limited number of seats available\, so please\, let us know if you are attending in presence by quickly filling in the registration forms linked below at your earliest convenience.

SUMMARY:CMCC@Ca'Foscari Seminar - Maximilian Kotz
DESCRIPTION:Title: Macroeconomic climate damages. Resolving the locality of climate impacts in time and space  \nSpeaker: Maximilian Kotz\, Research Department IV Complexity Science\, Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) \nModerator: Enrica De Cian\, CMCC@Ca’ Foscari\, RFF-CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment (EIEE) and Venice Ca’ Foscari University \nAbstract: \nEconometric assessments of climate impacts are typically conducted at national and annual scales. However\, climate impacts can occur locally in both time and space. This demands an analysis with higher temporal and spatial detail to resolve both complex societal impact channels and anthropogenically forced changes. These details are crucial to a comprehensive evaluation of the costs of climate change and consequently to cost-benefit analyses of climate policy.\nIn this talk I will present recent advances and on-going work in this area\, the result of combining high resolution climate and economic data with mathematical re-formulations of climate impacts. These empirical assessments have identified aspects of the distribution of daily weather with detrimental macroeconomic effects\, for example from daily temperature variability and extreme daily rainfall. I will discuss these advances\, and their implications for the scale and distribution of macroeconomic damages under future climate change. \nSpeaker’s short bio: \nMaximilian Kotz is a doctoral researcher at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK)\, working in Research Department IV Complexity Science. His work addresses the costs of climate change from both a physical and economic perspective. His research has been published in peer-reviewed journals including Nature\, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences and Nature Climate Change. Prior to joining PIK\, he obtained his undergraduate and masters’ degree in physics from the University of Cambridge and completed research stays in the department of Environmental Science and Engineering at Caltech and the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Reading. \n\nHOW TO PARTICIPATE \nCMCC@Ca’Foscari Seminar – in presence and online\nAULA RADICE\, Ca’ Foscari Challenge School\, VEGA Park\, Ground floor\nPlease note that on-site presence is strongly recommended to allow interactions during the Seminars.\nHowever\, we have a limited number of seats available\, so please\, let us know if you are attending in presence by quickly filling in the registration forms linked below at your earliest convenience.

SUMMARY:The economics of a just and equitable transition - Pre-Conference Workshop
DESCRIPTION:  \nPre-conference Workshop of the 27th Annual EAERE Conference \nThe economics of a just and equitable transition \nHybrid Workshop: Onsite and online \n\nOrganizing committee: Jan Steckel (MCC) Massimo Tavoni (RFF-CMCC) Elena Verdolini (RFF-CMCC) \n\n\nThe programme of the Workshop in NOW available.\nRegister here!\n\n\nScope:The aim of this workshop is to discuss how methods in environmental and resource economics can contribute to assess and quantify the impact of the low carbon transition on certain parts of society\, and how they can be alleviated. It will present approaches to identify policies that can be put in place to correct pre–existing and transition–induced inequalities. The workshop will thus focus on issues related to employment\, distributional impacts of policies\, and public acceptance of the climate transition\, with the aim to foster a debate on the research and policy agenda focusing on the Just Transition.Addressing climate change will only be successful when related policies are perceived as fair and equitable. Climate change impacts will lead to severe economic losses\, unevenly distributed across countries and regions\, generations and individuals; they will aggravate existing inequalities and create new ones. Yet\, the costs associated with the energy transition or external shocks may also disproportionately burden vulnerable households\, firms\, communities and social groups. \nThe EAERE community has long addressed topics linked with the distributional impacts of climate change policies\, and their repercussions on and prospect for the labor market and the public perception around tradeoffs between mitigation and economic growth. In recent years\, novel methods have emerged to approach these topics. A deeper and meaningful dialogue can be fostered by building bridges between different research communities within and outside ofEAERE.\n\nProgram:The workshop has two aims. First\, it takes stock of the methods in economics and other social sciences which can contribute to an assessment of the Just Transition. It will explore how methodologies and assessment tools used in climate economics and modeling have been used to inform the debate regarding a just transition. Recent developments\, theoretical\, empirical and numerical\, will be discussed to highlight how different methodological approaches can contribute to the academic debate on key topics relevant for the Just Transition.Second\, it looks forward and discusses how to develop the Just Transition research agenda with the aim of informing the policy debate. This includes broadening the attention to methods and insights from other research fields\, as well as discussing how to use the available evidence to inform the current policy debate and identify key knowledge gaps and potential avenues for future research. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nFormat:The workshop is organized in three thematic sessions: Workforce and Employment\, Vulnerable Households and Firms\, and Public Acceptance. Each session will last approximately for one and half hours and will present short talks by invited speakers\, followed by discussion among participants. A final round table discussion will gather reaction from high–profile individuals engaged in research and policy making. \n\n\n\nSchedule: \n\nJune 27\, 2022\n\n15:00 – 15:30 Arrival and Welcome\n15:30 – 16:00 Workshop Rationale and Objectives.

SUMMARY:NAVIGATE-CHIPS -Stakeholders workshop
DESCRIPTION:NAVIGATE-CHIPS STAKEHOLDER WORKSHOP CLIMATE POLICY AND JUST TRANSITION \n  \nOver the next decades\, societies will be subject to large transformations related to climate change mitigation policies. These transformations will have differential effects in different locations as well as in different societal groups\, with the poor likely to experience the worst consequences. In turn\, this raises issues of the societal acceptability of mitigation policies and of the possibility of compensation of transformation costs through transfers. The workshop will highlight the distributive impacts of mitigation policies in the context of human development at different levels of global warming and along different socioeconomic pathways. However\, increasing capture of spatial and social heterogeneity in a rich scenario space also increases the complexity of research results and consequently the hurdle for their use by stakeholders. An exchange with stakeholders ensuring transparency\, usability and applicability of research outcomes becomes ever more crucial. The objective of this workshop will be to present results from the NAVIGATE and CHIPS projects pertaining to the impact of climate mitigation policies on inequality\, poverty and other Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The workshop also aims at establishing a dialogue with stakeholders on how to convey and disseminate research results on those issues. Identifying relevant aspects of mitigation policies and their impact is a key question in this dialogue. \nProgramme \n9:30-9:45 Welcome and introduction \nObjective of the morning: present preliminary results from the projects\, discuss them and gather feedback and questions. \n9:45-11:00 Session 1: Mitigation policies: inequality and acceptability (CHIPS) \nStellio Del Campo (MCC)\, “Inequality aversion for climate policy” \nJose Labeaga (UNED)\, “Implications of carbon taxation on inequality and poverty in Mexico” \nThomas Sterner (U.

SUMMARY:SWEEEP Webinar - Mar Reguant
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Mar Reguant\, Northwestern UniversityModerator: Valentina Bosetti\, Bocconi University and RFF-CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment\, CMCC \nTitle: The Dynamic Impact of Market Integration: Evidence from Renewable Energy Expansion in Chile\nco-authoured with Luis E Gonzales and Koichiro Ito\nAbstract:We study the static and dynamic impacts of market integration on renewable energy expansion. Our theory highlights that statically\, market integration improves allocative efficiency by gains from trade\, and dynamically\, it incentivizes new entry of renewable power plants. Using two recent grid expansions in the Chilean electricity market\, we empirically test our theoretical predictions and show that commonly-used event study estimation underestimates the dynamic benefits if renewable investments occur in anticipation of market integration. We build a structural model of power plant entry and show how to correct for such bias. We find that market integration resulted in price convergence across regions\, increases in renewable generation\, and decreases in generation cost and pollution emissions. Furthermore\, a substantial amount of renewable entry would not have occurred in the absence of market integration. We show that ignoring this dynamic effect would substantially understate the benefits of transmission investments.

SUMMARY:SWEEEP Webinar - Erich Muehlegger ETH
DESCRIPTION:Energy Prices and Electric Vehicle Adoption \nThis paper presents evidence that gasoline prices have a larger effect on demand for electric vehicles (EVs) than electricity prices in California. We match a spatially-disaggregated panel dataset of monthly EV registration records to detailed records of gasoline and electricity prices in California from 2014-2017\, and use these to estimate the effect of energy prices on EV demand. Two distinct empirical approaches (panel fixed-effects and a utility-border discontinuity) yield remarkably similar results: a given change in gasoline prices has roughly four to six times the effect on EV demand as a similar percentage change in electricity prices. We explore the implications for optimal EV subsidies\, which promote externality reduction benefits and correct for consumer mis-optimization stemming from the undervaluation of future electricity costs. \nSpeaker Erich Muehlegger ETH

SUMMARY:SWEEEP Webinar -Mirabelle Muuls\, Imperial College
DESCRIPTION:Title: Homeworking can be Net Positive\, Evidence from the UK Lockdown during COVID-19 \nPresenter: Mirabelle Muuls\, Imperial College \nAbstract \nThis study explores the effect of shifts in teleworking and work related commuting patterns on energy consumption in the domestics sector during the 2020 spring lockdown in the UK\, and its wider implications towards achieving lower carbon footprint. Smart meter data from 1\,164 participating households shows that it could have been the case that homeworking shifted electricity demand away from the peak\, at high carbon content\, to other times of the day\, at lower carbon content. As a result\, weekly electricity consumption rose by 10.3% on average during lockdown. This may indicate great potential for a nation wide systems based change alongside behavioural changes to further reduce carbon emissions in the future. Isolating from the effect of the grid’s carbon intensity being lower\, electricity driven emissions among participating households increased by a few percentage points less then consumption\, which indicates that a smoothing of demand has a positive impact already. We then control for work related changes in household occupancy during lockdown in our sample of 452 survey respondents. Not only do our results show that working from home accounts for a significant share of the lockdown effect on electricity driven emissions\, but overall\, the household carbon emissions largely decreased in response to changes in commuting patterns. Reductions in carbon emissions are estimated to approach 29% on average\, and by far offset the rise in electricity driven emissions during the same period of time. This is an avenue for companies to reduce their environmental footprint by implementing flexible working scheme and allowing employees to work from home.

SUMMARY:SWEEEP Webinar -Jessica Coria\, University of Gothenburg
DESCRIPTION:Title: Effects of the EU Chemical Regulation: Is there a Chemical Green Paradox? (joint work with Olof Johansson-Stenman) \nPresenter: Jessica Coria\, University of Gothenburg \n  \nAbstract \nWe investigate the effects of the Candidate List of the European chemicals regulation REACH\, which gives advanced safety information to downstream users about substances of very high concern posing risks to human health and the environment. The substances included on the Candidate List will progressively be put forward for inclusion on the Authorization List\, implying that they cannot be manufactured in or imported into the EU from a sunset date\, unless the companies have obtained an authorization for their specific use(s). \nOur theoretical model shows that the Candidate List affects the consumption of hazardous chemicals through different countervailing channels. On the one hand\, disclosure about the hazard properties reduces the demand of the chemicals. On the other hand\, stocks might built up to mitigate the risk that the chemical may be unavailable in the future. We test these theoretical predictions using official registry data on the consumption of hazardous chemicals in Sweden. Our findings suggest that reductions in consumption are only observed for chemicals for which the disclosure effect is large.

SUMMARY:RFF - CMCC - NAVIGATE Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Internalising health-economic impacts of air pollution into climate policy: a global modelling study\n\n\n\nSpeaker:\nLara Aleluia Reis\, RFF-CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment (EIEE)\, Centro Euro-Mediterraneo sui Cambiamenti Climatici\nModerator:\nJohannes Emmerling\, RFF‐CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment (EIEE)\, Centro Euro‐Mediterraneo sui Cambiamenti Climatici\n\n\n\nAbstract: \nClimate change and air pollution are two major societal problems. Previous assessments have looked at the co-benefits of climate policies for air pollution\, but few have optimised air pollution benefits. In the study presented\, the authors lay out a modelling framework that internalises air pollution’s economic impacts on human mortality\, while considering climate constraints and aerosol feedback.\nThe researchers developed a modelling framework based on an integrated assessment model (World Induced Technical Change Hybrid) designed to assess optimal climate change mitigation policies. They included structural and end-of-pipe measures in a detailed process integrated assessment model\, that is hard-linked to air pollution and climate models. They analysed a large set of baseline scenarios\, including five shared socioeconomic pathways. The shared socioeconomic pathways scenarios were also tested with three different levels of value per statistical life and were combined with the Paris Agreement temperature targets (2°C and 1.5°C).\nResults showed that welfare-maximising policies accounting for air pollution benefits reduces premature mortality by 1.62 million deaths annually which is three times greater than the co-benefits of climate policies. Authors also find that global and regional welfare increases when air pollution impacts are internalised\, with no negative repercussions on global inequality.\nAir pollution control strategies are found to be an important complement to structural emission reductions. Accounting for air pollution impacts reduces climate mitigation costs and inequality and increases global and regional welfare. Results are robust to a broad set of scenarios and assumptions\, including debated normative choices on how to value improved health. \n

SUMMARY:La scienza della transizione climatica
DESCRIPTION:(Private event\, Italian) \nDALLE ULTIME EVIDENZE NEL RAPPORTO ONU ALLE NUOVE SFIDE PER UNA TRASFORMAZIONE SOSTENIBILE ED INCLUSIVA \nIn occasione della pubblicazione dei risultati del Sesto Rapporto di valutazione (AR6) del Gruppo Intergovernativo sui cambiamenti climatici delle Nazioni Unite (IPCC) l’evento vuole essere il momento in cui poter discutere alcuni tra i principali risultati raggiunti direttamente con i tre scienziati italiani che hanno contribuito alla sua stesura. \nIl rapporto è la più esaustiva e aggiornata rassegna della conoscenza scientifica sui cambiamenti climatici per i governi\, la comunità scientifica internazionale e l’opinione pubblica mondiale. \nIn particolare\, il racconto si focalizzerà su alcuni dei nuovi risultati del Gruppo di Lavoro III dell’IPCC\, legato alla mitigazione del cambiamento climatico\, ottenibile limitando o prevenendo le emissioni di gas serra e potenziando le attività che rimuovono questi gas dall’atmosfera. Il Gruppo di lavoro III affronta tutti gli aspetti della mitigazione\, compresi la fattibilità tecnica\, i costi e le condizioni abilitanti che permetterebbero l’adozione delle misure. Le sinergie e i compromessi con le misure di adattamento sono di crescente interesse\, così come i co-benefici\, i rischi e i legami con lo sviluppo sostenibile. \n  \nIl team di scienziati\, di cui i tre relatori fanno parte\, fornisce sia una prospettiva a breve termine rilevante per i responsabili delle decisioni nei governi e nelle imprese\, sia una prospettiva a lungo termine che aiuta a comprendere come raggiungere gli ambiziosi obiettivi della politica climatica.

SUMMARY:SWEEEP Webinar Matto Mildenberger
DESCRIPTION:How to get the public on board with climate reforms \n\n\n\nSpeaker: Matto Mildenberger\, UC Santa Barbara\, USA\nModerator: Silvia Pianta\, European University Institute and RFF-CMCC European Institute on Economics and the Environment\, Italy\n\nAbstract:\nThe politics of climate change\, including carbon pricing\, remain challenging. Many climate policies foreground costs and background benefits\, leaving the policies vulnerable to political attacks by fossil fuel interests. In this talk\, I will share a series of experiments testing strategies to build public support for specific climate policies. First\, I will share the results from two information experiments conducted in Switzerland and Canada\, the two countries that have set up rebate programs to accompany national carbon prices. We find limited evidence that individuals who learn about rebates they are currently receiving\, shift their preferences for the rebate-generating policy. In follow-up work\, we provide detailed cost and benefit information with survey respondents in the United States and Switzerland\, tailoring this information to household size and income quintiles. Providing specific benefit and cost information increases support for climate policy\, especially among low-income groups\, in the abstract. However\, the effects disappear in the presence of even mild political messaging. Finally\, we present results from a conjoint experiment conducted in ten of the largest carbon-polluters globally\, testing whether political coalitions for climate reforms expand when integrating social and economic policies into climate reform packages. We find strong evidence that these benefits-oriented packages enjoy increased public support\, even in the presence of realistic information about program costs.
