Human beings, or their close genetic relatives, have
lived on Earth for several million years
Yet only recently has human activity reached levels
at which it can affect fundamental natural processes
• the concentration of gases in the
atmosphere (CO2, Ozone)
• the planet’s water mass
• The complex web of species which
constitute life on earth

In 1996, the IPCC reported that
human induced emissions of
carbon have a discernible effect on
climate
•Scientific uncertainty persists
•But the risk of climate change is
real and potentially catastrophic

Corn and wheat yields versus temperature increase in the temperate zone
averaged across 30 crop modeling studies. All studies assumed a positive
change in precipitation. CO2 direct effects were included in all studies.

Many environmental problems are global in
scope. Solving requires international
cooperation
• The planet’s ozone’s layer and CFC’s
emissions
• Loss of biodiversity
• Greenhouse gases and climate change-CO2

• Acid rain and international transport of SO2

•Most of the destruction of the
earth’s ecosystems is driven by

•Forests, where most known
biodiversity resides, are cleared
for the extraction of natural

economic
• The effects are physical and

between the Gini coefficient and the log of per capita GDP, holding fixed the estimated effects of the explanatory variables
other than the log of per capita GDP and its square. Source: Robert Barro. Inequality and Growth Revisted. ADB January

Without computing the “replacement
costs” of extraction, there is a false
impression of resource abundance
and comparative advantage leading
to a global version of the “tragedy of
the commons”

As a result, the North over-
consumes resources, and the
South over-extracts them

As a consequence of these
historical facts, the Earth
Resources are undervalued in
international markets

Because most resource-
intensive exports come from
developing nations, their own
economies and people are
undervalued in economic terms

Resource intensive trade leads
to an increasingly divided North-

Privatizing resources in
developing countries may be
impractical in any reasonable
time scale.
An alternative is to privatize the
global commons.
138. 138

Rather than privatizing forest
and mineral deposits “on the
ground”, we can privatize and
trade the rights to use the
atmosphere as a carbon sink,
and the use of biodiversity

New Economic Findings
• Efficiency in trading permits requires
more emission rights to developing
countries
• Why?
143. 143

Typically efficiency requires that
those with fewer endowments of
private goods should have a
higher allocation of property
rights on the public goods

Kyoto Protocol:
The way ahead
• How to develop incentives for international
cooperation?
• How to obtain support from the private
sector?
• Will the three flexibility mechanisms be
unified
• How to regulate private sector emission
traders?
• How to achieve equitable markets?

CO2 per capita is on the Y-axis and GNI/Capita is on the X-axis. The size of the balls represent the size of the population. Although the slide doesn’t illustrate projections of population growth, it does connect size, wealth and carbon emissions in an interesting way. I am not sure however if the past figure was preferred. I thought this included a similar illustration of CO2 emissions, and population. However, I can search further for something including population growth.

This figure shows the sources of global greenhouse gas emissions from the year 2004. The source is the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change). Year-2007. This chart expands on the older figure by differentiating more amongst the sources. This can be changed of course to coincide with the number of sources from the old figure.
