Copenhagen: An economic challenge?

How to get out of the ecological impasse ? For Roger Guesnerie, professor at the Collège de France, economic analysis can help formulate long -term objectives. Copenhagen negotiations could in particular relate to the fixing of emission rights per capita by 2050.

Roger Guesnerie is a professor at the Collège de France. He recently co -edited the book with Henry Tulkens The Design of Climate Policy (Put Press, 2009) and wrote with Thomas Sterner a forum published in The world On November 20, entitled “ Let us fix the reduction of 50 at 2050 % of emissions from CO2 ».

Summary of questions:

  • An agreement between developed and emerging countries is possible in Copenhagen ?
  • What should be the economic objectives of negotiations ?
  • Economic calculation can apply to ecological issues ?
  • Market, taxes or standards: which tools favor ?
