Economic Implications of Moving Toward Global Convergence on Emission Intensities

december, 2012

One key contentious issue in climate
change negotiations is the huge difference in carbon dioxide
(CO2) emissions per capita between more advanced
industrialized countries and other nations. This paper
analyzes the costs of reducing this gap. Simulations using a
global computable general equilibrium model show that the
average the carbon dioxide intensity of advanced
industrialized countries would remain almost twice as high

Agriculture and Trade Opportunities for Tanzania : Past Volatility and Future Climate Change

december, 2012

Given global heterogeneity in
climate-induced agricultural variability, Tanzania has the
potential to substantially increase its maize exports to
other countries. If global maize production is lower than
usual due to supply shocks in major exporting regions,
Tanzania may be able to export more maize at higher prices,
even if it also experiences below-trend productivity.
Diverse destinations for exports can allow for enhanced

Economic Implications of Reducing Carbon Emissions from Energy Use and Industrial Processes in Brazil

december, 2012

The overall impacts on the Brazilian
economy of reducing CO2 emissions from energy use and
industrial processes can be assessed using a recursive
dynamic general equilibrium model and a hypothetical carbon
tax. The study projects that in 2040 under a
business-as-usual scenario, CO2 emissions from energy use
and industrial processes would be almost three times as high
as in 2010 and would account for more than half of total

The Agricultural Water Solutions Project aims to unlock the potential of smallholder farming by identifying, evaluating and recommending a variety of agricultural water management (AWM) solutions - including technologies as well as the necessary supporting policies, institutions, financing arrangements and associated business models. This is being achieved through a series of interlinked activities in the seven project sites in Africa (Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Ghana, Tanzania and Zambia) and in India (Madhya Pradesh and West Bengal).
