    Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this thesis is to improve the understanding of if, and how, we can combat climate change and other non-wanted environmental changes alongside economic development. Paper I address this question by investigating the relationship between CO2 emissions and GDP per capita. LÄS MER

  3. 22. The Multiple Dilemmas of Environmental Protection - The Effects of Generalized and Political Trust on the Acceptance of Environmental Policy Instruments

    Författare :Niklas Harring; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Social dilemmas; Generalized trust; Political trust; Environmental policy instruments; Environmental attitudes; Quality of Government;

    Sammanfattning : With different environmental policy instruments (EPIs) that target individual citizens, the state can change activities or behaviors that have negative environmental consequences. However, EPIs are not likely to be implemented or have the intended effects unless people support these policies since a lack of support may affect willingness to comply, and politicians may not even introduce them due to the risk of loss in electoral support.

  7. 25. Fictitious Carbon, Fictitious Change? : Environmental Implications of the Commodification of Carbon

    Författare :Wim Carton; Institutionen för kulturgeografi och ekonomisk geografi; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; commodification; climate change policy; emissions trading; market instruments; environmental geography;

    Sammanfattning : Governments increasingly rely on the use of market instruments to tackle climate change and help decarbonize a deeply fossil fuel-dependent economy. This dissertation examines this trend as one instance of the ‘commodification of carbon’, or the process through which emission reductions are made into commodities and then traded on the market.
