EconomyEnergyEnvironment Simulation: Beyond the Kyoto Protocol by K. Uno (Englis

Description: EconomyEnergyEnvironment Simulation by K. Uno In the policy arena, as well as in the academic world, a new challenge is having to deal with the global community. We are increasingly aware, at the same time, that the emergence of the global community does not imply an integrated harmonious world; FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This volume is based on a policy simulation model linking 60 countries and regions at a detailed industrial level, covering 99.5 per cent of the worlds economic activities. Country models are linked by trade matrices that explicitly describe annual trade flow among world regions. Energy demand and supply is explained in response to changing prices reflecting emission trading and other market-oriented policy instruments. The impact on global environment is gauged through CO2 emission. Simulation results to 2010 - with an explicit description of economy/energy/environment feedback under different scenarios - serve as an open platform for policy debate. Comparisons with results from other research works are provided, together with methodological comparisons.

Long Description In the policy arena, as well as in the academic world, a new challenge is having to deal with the global community. We are increasingly aware that the world is linked through economy-energy-environment interactions. We are increasingly aware, at the same time, that the emergence of the global community does not imply an integrated harmonious world; rather, it is a community where co- tries/regions of different interests and values face each other directly. Global governance has to be achieved through actions of national governments under different motives and constraints. We need to have an analytical tool that is capable of producing a global picture, yet with detailed country resolution. If the world is a better place now compared to 100 years ago in terms of p- capita income, this is due to the industrialization that continued throughout the 20th century. We entered the 21st century knowing that the human aspiration that translates into ever-increasing production may not be tenable in the long run. Sustainability of the global community is at stake. In contrast to inc- mental decision making through the market mechanism that should lead to some optimal state under some assumptions such as perfect knowledge, smooth movement of resources, no externalities, and so forth, we need to have an a- lytical tool to provide us with details of the future state of the world.
