What Are the Costs of Heat Spell Mortality in Europe’s Urban Areas up to 2050
The objective of this study is to estimate the welfare economic costs of premature cardiopulmonary disease (CPD) mortality in Europe and Asia Minor under a middle-of-the-road scenario for global warming. It projects future heat-related CPD fatalities in urban areas over the next 25 years for 317 regions of 39 countries by applying regionalized exposure-response functions for heat- and air pollution–related premature mortality. These functions are…
The Helsinki Convention’s agricultural nutrient governance: How domestic institutions matter
National policy styles and path-dependencies are affecting the abilities of Baltic Sea countries to deliver on their commitments under the Helsinki Convention. This article synthesizes evidence and insights from studies relating to the provisions on agricultural nutrient management, a main source of marine pollution. We contend that governments that are strongly concentrated vertically, while fragmented horizontally, lack capacity including with …
Promise and performance of agricultural nutrient management policy: Lessons from the Baltic Sea
Following decades of international collaboration to restore the Baltic Sea, we provide an assessment of the domestic implementation of measures agreed to limit diffuse agricultural pollution and the patterns of policy instruments applied. Despite the Helsinki Convention being unusually specific in detailing what measures countries should introduce, we find many shortcomings. These are most pronounced in the larger countries (Poland, Germany and R…
Strengthening the policy framework to resolve lax implementation of the Baltic Sea Action Plan for agriculture
In this perspective article, we provide recommendations for strengthening the policy framework for protecting the Baltic Sea from agricultural nutrient pollution. The most striking weakness is the lax implementation of prescribed abatement measures, particularly concerning manure management, in most countries. Institutions of the EU should also be leveraged for achieving Baltic Sea Action Plan (BSAP) goals. In contrast to the Helsinki Convention,…
Traditional agriculture in transition: Examining the impacts of agricultural modernization on smallholder farming in Ghana under the new Green Revolution
Following the renewed effort at achieving a new green revolution for Africa, emphasis has been placed on modernizing smallholder agriculture through the deployment of improved inputs especially mechanized technologies. In Ghana, the government has in the last decade emphasized the provision of subsidized mechanized ploughing services to farmers alongside a rapidly growing private sector tractor service market. While mechanized technology adoption…

The politics of carbon taxation: How Varieties of Policy Style Matter
The momentum achieved for unilateral carbon taxes in seven European countries is examined. Why is it that small countries, despite being vulnerable to forces of international competition, have been able to implement carbon taxes? A review of national experiences does not suggest that the share of fossil fuels in the energy mix defines the room for such taxes, or point to a strong role for traditional left-right ideology. Rather, it is deep-seated…

Ecological Modernization or Subversion: The Effect of Europeanization on Eastern Europe
The pan-European conference at Czechoslovakia's Dobris Castle in 1991 was the beginning of an unusual era of Europeanization of environmental policy. Two contrasting hypotheses have been advocated regarding the effect of Europeanization on ecological modernization in Central and Eastern Europe. On one hand, proponents of the caterpillar hypothesis expect the transition process to have led toward ecological modernization. On the other hand, propon…

Greening the EU: National positions in the run-up to the Amsterdam treaty
‘Green’ positions in EU environmental policy, as represented particularly by Germany, the Netherlands and Denmark as well as the new member states Sweden, Finland and Austria, vary. An analytical distinction between pushers and forerunners in EU environmental policy forms the basis for an investigation into the ‘self‐perception’ of the ‘green’ member states and for a detailed assessment of the national positions of the six countries with regard t…
The impact of new member states on EU environmental policy
The fourth enlargement of the EU, with Sweden, Finland and Austria, which took effect on 1 January 1995, is by many expected to have a positive impact on the environmental policy dimension of the Union, which has been under strain since the Rio Summit in 1992
Green tax reform in Denmark
In June 1993, the new Danish coalition government introduced a comprehensive tax reform that includes a substantial package of new green taxes. The tax reform, which became effective on 1 January 1994, will gradually phase in new green taxes worth approximately 12 billion DKK (1.6 billion ECU) to substitute for decreased income taxes
