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

Where we’re headed: temperate-zone agriculture
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
emissions
• Acid rain and international transport of SO2
International dimensions of
environmental policy

•Most of the destruction of the
earth’s ecosystems is driven by
economic incentives
•Forests, where most known
biodiversity resides, are cleared
for the extraction of natural
resources (oil, wood products) or
to grow cash crops and graze
livestock

Climate change:
• The causes of climate changes are
economic
• The effects are physical and
biological
41
Program on Information and Resources
Columbia University
Since the effects are physical,
economists underestimate them
Since the causes are economic,
physical scientists cannot find
solutions
42
Program on Information and Resources
Columbia University
Climate change requires
thinking and acting across social
and physical disciplines
A major challenge
43
Program on Information and Resources
Columbia University
Climate change is global
It therefore requires us to focus on:
• Global socioeconomic issues
• Global equity
44
Program on Information and Resources
Columbia University
To address these issues we
introduced in 1974 the concept
of development based on the
satisfaction of “basic needs”
45
Program on Information and Resources
Columbia University
Economic development based on
the satisfaction of basic needs
Basic Needs were introduced to rethink
development patterns, so they would be consistent
with the environmental constraints (Chichilnisky
1974, 1977)
Bariloche Model (1974-76) and sustainability

•Emissions of greenhouse gases and
destruction of biodiversity are connected to
the rapid industrialization since World War II
50
Program on Information and Resources

History
• After World War II, the U.S. became
40% of the world economy following
the destruction of Germany and
Japan
• Today the U.S. is back to 25%, as it
was before World War II
51
Program on Information and Resources
Columbia University
The U.S. pattern of economic
development became a benchmark
• based on rapid industrialization led
by deep and extensive use of natural
resources
• A frontier approach to economics
52
Program on Information and Resources
Columbia University
Global institutions were created that
reinforced this vision of resource-intensive
economic development
• The World Bank
• The International Monetary Fund-Bretton Woods
• The United Nations
• The current system of National Accounts
• The American Dream went Global

■The South, with 80% of the world’s
population, extracts and exports most
resources, which are mostly consumed in
the North.
■Resources – such as petroleum and wood
– are traded at prices which are below real
costs, leading to increased dependence on
resource use and to a deepening North-
South divide

This pattern of trade can be
explained in substantial measure by
a historical difference in property
rights in the developing and
industrial worlds
101
Program on Information and Resources
Columbia University
Developing countries hold most
resources as common property
while in industrial economies
these are usually private
property
102
Program on Information and Resources
Columbia University
Natural resources, such as forests and
mineral resources are often held as
common property in developing
countries. They are often used on a
“first come first served” basis in an open
access process
103

In a world where agricultural societies
trade with industrial societies,
international markets magnify the
extraction of resources. The result is
that exports and world use of natural
resources exceed what is optimal

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
Chichilnisky, American Economic Review, 1994
134
Program on Information and Resources
Columbia University
As a consequence of these
historical facts, the Earth
Resources are undervalued in
international markets
135
Program on Information and Resources
Columbia University
Because most resource-
intensive exports come from
developing nations, their own
economies and people are
undervalued in economic terms
136
Program on Information and Resources
Columbia University
Resource intensive trade leads
to an increasingly divided North-
South world
137
Program on Information and Resources
Columbia University
Privatizing resources in
developing countries may be
impractical in any reasonable
time scale.
An alternative is to privatize the
global commons.
138
Program on Information and Resources
Columbia University
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
Program on Information and Resources
Columbia University
Typically efficiency requires that
those with fewer endowments of
private goods should have a
higher allocation of property
rights on the public goods

■Chichilnisky and Heal, 1993

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?
145
Program on Information and Resources
Columbia University
The clean development
mechanism must be worked out
in practice
How to do it?

The next lecture will address
these issues and the rays of
hope for a solution

  • 40. 40 Program on Information and Resources Columbia University Climate change: • The causes of climate changes are economic • The effects are physical and biological
  • 41. 41 Program on Information and Resources Columbia University Since the effects are physical, economists underestimate them Since the causes are economic, physical scientists cannot find solutions
  • 42. 42 Program on Information and Resources Columbia University Climate change requires thinking and acting across social and physical disciplines A major challenge
  • 43. 43 Program on Information and Resources Columbia University Climate change is global It therefore requires us to focus on: • Global socioeconomic issues • Global equity
  • 44. 44 Program on Information and Resources Columbia University To address these issues we introduced in 1974 the concept of development based on the satisfaction of “basic needs”
  • 45. 45 Program on Information and Resources Columbia University Economic development based on the satisfaction of basic needs Basic Needs were introduced to rethink development patterns, so they would be consistent with the environmental constraints (Chichilnisky 1974, 1977) Bariloche Model (1974-76) and sustainability Bruntland Report, needs and sustainability

  1. Sources for image listed at the bottom of the figure. Changed from slide 5 in Kyoto lecture to include more updated picture of Greenhouse Effect with some specific numbers.
  2. Updated Slide 6 in Kyoto Lecture. The image on the right is from Marian Koshland, Science Museum of the National Academy of Science.
  3. Updated from slide 9 in Kyoto lecture. 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. Source: UNEP-Buildings and Climate Change report. Year-2007
  4. Updated from slide 25 in the Kyoto lecture 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.
