Clear legally binding commitments within a multilaterally agreed process with strong legal and institutional characteristics are needed to give countries the confidence that their economic interests are being fairly and equally treated. Common accounting rules are needed for comparability of effort, and in order to protect environmental integrity, to demonstrate transparency, for effective monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) of emissions and actions, and to facilitate and support a strong international carbon market. Securing full implementation will depend, in part, on the strength of an agreement's compliance mechanism. The Copenhagen Accord, by itself, represents a quintessential 'bottom-up'/'pledge and review' approach. It is open to interpretation whether the Accord can become a stepping stone on the way to strengthening the legally binding, multilateral framework to fight climate change, building on both the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Kyoto Protocol, or whether it will lead to the unravelling and fragmentation of all that has been built up to date. Legal architecture choices made in 2010 and beyond are likely to be determinative.}, language = {en} } @article{FlachslandKnopfEdenhoferetal., author = {Flachsland, Christian and Knopf, Brigitte and Edenhofer, Ottmar and Kok, Marcel and Lotze-Campen, Hermann and Luderer, Gunnar and Popp, Alexander and van Vuuren, Detlef P.}, title = {Managing the Low-Carbon Transition - From Model Results to Policies, Special Issue:'The Economics of Low Stabilization'}, series = {The Energy Journal}, volume = {31}, journal = {The Energy Journal}, number = {Special Issue 1}, publisher = {IAEE - International Association for Energy Economics}, address = {Cleveland}, issn = {0195-6574}, pages = {223 -- 245}, abstract = {Model analysis within the ADAM project has shown that achieving low greenhouse gas concentration levels, e.g. at 400ppm CO 2 -eq, is technologically feasible at costs of a few percent of GDP. However, models simplify the dynamics involved in implementing climate policy and the results depend on critical model assumptions such as global participation in climate policy and full availability of current and newly evolving technologies. The design of a low stabilization policy regime in the real world depends on factors that can only be partly covered by models. In this context, the paper reflects on limits of the integrated assessment models used to explore climate policy and addresses the issues of (i) how global participation might be achieved, (ii) which kind of options are available to induce deep GHG reductions inside and outside the energy sector, and (iii) which risks and which co-benefits of mitigation options are not assessed by the models.}, language = {en} } @incollection{FlachslandMarschinskiEdenhofer, author = {Flachsland, Christian and Marschinski, Robert and Edenhofer, Ottmar}, title = {Developing the international carbon market post-2012: Options and the cost of delay}, series = {Global Climate Governance Beyond 2012: Architecture, Agency and Adaptiveness}, booktitle = {Global Climate Governance Beyond 2012: Architecture, Agency and Adaptiveness}, publisher = {Cambridge University Press}, address = {Cambridge}, isbn = {9780521180924}, language = {en} } @techreport{CreutzigFlachslandMcGlynnetal., type = {Working Paper}, author = {Creutzig, Felix and Flachsland, Christian and McGlynn, Emily and Minx, Jan C.}, title = {CITIES: Car Industry, Road Transport and an international Emission Trading Scheme.
