Book Synopsis Issues to be Addressed by the Program for Measuring Incremental Costs for the Environment by : Kenneth King
Download or read book Issues to be Addressed by the Program for Measuring Incremental Costs for the Environment written by Kenneth King and published by Washington, D.C. : World Bank. This book was released on 1993 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global Environment Facility Working Paper 8. Describes the five key research areas to be addressed by the Program for Measuring Incremental Costs for the Environment (PRINCE). This paper outlines incremental cost concepts, operational interpretations, national climate change studies, country studies on ozone protection, and transaction costs. It also develops a broad interpretation of "incremental cost" that can be used across the range of issues covered by the Global Environment Facility (GEF). Those issues include global warming, pollution of international waters, destruction of biodiversity, and ozone depletion. This is one of five GEF Working Papers to explore the PRINCE program and is co-published with the United Nations Development Programme and the United Nations Environment Programme.

Book Synopsis The Incremental Cost of Climate Change Mitigation Projects by : Dilip Ahuja
Download or read book The Incremental Cost of Climate Change Mitigation Projects written by Dilip Ahuja and published by Washington, D.C. : Global Environment Facility. This book was released on 1993 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global Environment Facility Working Paper No. 9. Develops a classification system of options to reduce the risk of climate change. This paper clarifies certain misconceptions related to imcremental costs by presenting a clear methodology for estimating the difference or "increment" between the costs of projects that a country might undertake and the costs of possible GEF interventions to incorporate global environmental benefits. The author demonstrates how incremental costs can be incurred even in an economically viable alternative and how baseline project costs avoided by GEF intervention still constitute a legitimate part of the calculation of costs. The paper stresses the need for a case-by-case approach in the evaluation of projects because of the varying structures of system boundaries and baselines and the influence of local factors on cost estimates. This paper should be a useful tool for those involved in the field of environmental economics and management.
Book Synopsis The Global Environmental Benefits of Land Degradation Control on Agricultural Land by : Stefano Pagiola
Download or read book The Global Environmental Benefits of Land Degradation Control on Agricultural Land written by Stefano Pagiola and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 1999-01-01 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the global effects of land degradation, but emphasizes other important levels of land degradation: at the field level, it may result in reduced productivity; at the national level, it may cause flooding, and sedimentation; and, at the global level, it can contribute to climate changes, damaging bio-diversity, and international waters. The effects on climate changes are explored, and the report questions the extent to which land degradation on agricultural land, affects climate change. Does it increase emissions of greenhouse gases? Does it affect land's capacity to serve as a carbon sink? Can appropriate management enhance both land's productivity, and its capacity to store carbon? The carbon cycle in soils is analyzed, indicating land degradation is likely to reduce the ability of soils to serve as carbon sink, and release stored carbon into the atmosphere, and, bio-diversity effects are likely to be adverse. Global benefits of land degradation control, include afforestation, to allow increased carbon sequestration, and provide adequate bio-diversity habitats; and, community-based wildlife management, can provide alternatives to some marginal areas. Although integrating global dimensions into land degradation control projects, may reverse the field level, or national problems it is causing, difficulties and constraints will likely contribute to the failure of these projects.
Book Synopsis Implementing the Framework Convention on Climate Change by : Irving M. Mintzer
Download or read book Implementing the Framework Convention on Climate Change written by Irving M. Mintzer and published by Washington, D.C. : World Bank. This book was released on 1993 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper is the first among a series of Global Environment Facility (GEF) Working Papers to deal with the Program for Measuring Incremental Costs for the Environment (PRINCE). PRINCE was initiated in February 1993 at a workshop held at the Tata Energy Research Institute in New Delhi. It covers methodological studies, field tests, and dissemination related to the technical issues of measuring incremental cost. This is a concept central to the GEF; the two Conventions to which it is linked - the Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Convention on Biological Diversity; and the Montreal Protocol dealing with ozone depletion. This paper provides the scientific background to the issues of global warming, proposes a calculus for estimating incremental costs, and highlights some of the key operational issues which the GEF must address in order to achieve the overall objectives of the Framework Convention on Climate Change.

Book Synopsis Cost-benefit Analysis and the Environment by : Nick Hanley
Download or read book Cost-benefit Analysis and the Environment written by Nick Hanley and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 1993 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This lucid, up-to-date book takes a fresh look at the application of cost-benefit analysis (CBA) to environmental problems ranging from wildlife protection to global warming. Cost-Benefit Analysis and the Environment is structured into two parts. Part one provides a critical up-to-date account of the theory and practice of CBA as applied to the environment. Part two focuses on a number of specific case studies, in particular ozone damage to agricultural crops, wilderness land use, recreation and nitrate pollution. The application of CBA to the greenhouse effect is used to illustrate the limitations of the method. The book summarizes the major problems CBA faces in environmental application. This book will be highly relevant for the growing number of undergraduate and post-graduate courses in environmental economics and management, as well as being of interest both to academics researching in these areas, and to other professionals concerned with project appraisal and the environment.
Download or read book Blueprint 4 written by D.W. Pearce and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-07-16 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blueprint 4 continues the theme of Blueprint 2 in looking at the opportunities for using market forces for environmental ends. It assesses a range of possible imaginative 'global bargains', which give all parties a self-interested incentive to improve the global environment. The book begins by reviewing the principle global issues to be addressed, and then explains the mechanisms of resource degradation: how economic systems fail, the operation of trade on the environment and the effects of population growth and consumption patterns. It then shows how environmental value can be captured, and the basis, means and institutions for doing so.
Book Synopsis International Environmental Financing by : Richard K. Lattanzio
Download or read book International Environmental Financing written by Richard K. Lattanzio and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-07 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States contributes funding to various international financial institutions to assist developing countries to address global climate change and other environmental concerns. Congress is responsible for several activities in this regard, including (1) authorizing periodic appropriations for U.S. financial contributions to the institutions, and (2) overseeing U.S. involvement in the programs. Issues of congressional interest include the overall development assistance strategy of the United States, U.S. leadership in global environmental and economic affairs, and U.S. commercial interests in trade and investment. This report provides an overview of one of the oldest international financial institutions for the environment—the Global Environment Facility (GEF)—and analyzes its structure, funding, and objectives in light of the many challenges within the contemporary landscape of global environmental finance. GEF is an independent and international financial organization that provides grants, promotes cooperation, and fosters actions in developing countries to protect the global environment. Established in 1991, it unites 182 member governments and partners with international institutions, nongovernmental organizations, and the private sector to assist developing countries with environmental projects related to six areas: biodiversity, climate change, international waters, the ozone layer, land degradation, and persistent organic pollutants. GEF receives funding from multiple donor countries—including the United States—and provides grants to cover the additional or “incremental” costs associated with transforming a project with national benefits into one with global environmental benefits. In this way, GEF funding is structured to “supplement” base project funding and provide for the environmental components in national development agendas. GEF partners with several international agencies, including the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), and the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP), among others, and is the primary fund administrator for four Rio (Earth Summit) Conventions, including the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs), and the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD). GEF also establishes operational guidance for international waters and ozone activities, the latter consistent with the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer and its amendments. Since its inception, GEF has allocated $11.5 billion—supplemented by more than $57 billion in cofinancing—for more than 3,200 projects in over 165 countries. GEF is one mechanism in a larger network of international programs designed to address the global environment. Accordingly, its effectiveness depends on how the fund addresses programmatic issues, builds upon national investment plans, reacts to recent developments in the financial landscape, and responds to emerging opportunities. Critics contend that the existing system has had limited impact in addressing major environmental concerns—specifically climate change and tropical deforestation—and has been unsuccessful in delivering global transformational change. A desire to achieve more immediate impacts has led to a restructuring of the Multilateral Development Banks' (MDBs') role in environmental finance and the introduction of many new bilateral and multilateral funding initiatives. The future of GEF remains in the hands of the donor countries, including the United States, which can choose to broaden the mandate and/or strengthen its institutional arrangements or reduce and replace it by other bilateral or multilateral funding mechanisms.
