Can transitioning to non-renewable modern energy decrease carbon dioxide emissions in India
There is no economic case for new coal plants in India
India is the world's third-largest emitter of CO2 and coal-fired power plants contribute approximately half of India's CO2 emissions. Indian government policies assume a significant expansion of coal-fired power in India over the next two decades. This paper compares the costs of coal and renewable power, including quantifiable domestic external costs, in 2018 as well as projections for 2025. Our estimate for the environmental cost of coal is 2.4…
The rise of (sub)nations? Sub-national human development, climate targets, and carbon dioxide emissions in 163 countries
Sharing global CO 2 emission reductions among one billion high emitters
We present a framework for allocating a global carbon reduction target among nations, in which the concept of “common but differentiated responsibilities” refers to the emissions of individuals instead of nations. We use the income distribution of a country to estimate how its fossil fuel CO 2 emissions are distributed among its citizens, from which we build up a global CO 2 distribution. We then propose a simple rule to derive a universal cap on…
