The greenhouse gas emissions and mitigation options for materials used in UK construction

Research article by John Barrett, Peter Taylor on 1 Aug 2014

The UK construction industry faces the daunting task of replacing and extending a significant proportion of UK infrastructure, meeting a growing housing shortage and retrofitting millions of homes whilst achieving greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions compatible with the UK’s legally binding target of an 80% reduction by 2050. This paper presents a detailed time series […]

Debt relief and financing climate change action

Research article by Adrian Fenton, Helena Wright, Stavros Afionis, Jouni Paavola, Saleemul Huq on 30 Jul 2014

Slow progress in scaling-up climate finance has emerged as a major bottleneck in international negotiations. Debt relief for climate finance swaps could provide an alternative source for financing mitigation and adaptation action in developing countries.

Divergence of trends in US and UK aggregate exergy efficiencies 1960-2010

Research article by Paul E. Brockway, John Barrett, Tim Foxon, Julia Steinberger on 24 Jul 2014

National exergy efficiency analysis relates the quality of primary energy inputs to an economy with end useful work in sectoral energy uses such as transport, heat and electrical devices. This approach has been used by a range of authors to explore insights to macroscale energy systems and linkages with economic growth. However, these analyses use […]

Beyond carbon pricing: The role of banking and monetary policy in financing the transition to a low-carbon economy

Working paper by Emanuele Campiglio on 15 Jul 2014

It is widely acknowledged that introducing a price on carbon represents a crucial precondition for filling the current gap in low-carbon investment. However, as this paper argues, carbon pricing in … read more »

A structural decomposition approach to comparing MRIO databases

Research article by John Barrett, Thomas Wiedmann, Manfred Lenzen on 10 Jul 2014

The construction of multi-regional input–output tables is complex, and databases produced using different approaches lead to different analytical outcomes. We outline a decomposition methodology for investigating the variations that exist when using different multiregional input–output (MRIO) systems to calculate a region’s consumption-based account. Structural decomposition analysis attributes the change in emissions to a set of […]
