This paper examines the major barriers to the deployment of geothermal, small hydro and advanced coal power generation technologies in Vietnam. It ranks their severity by applying the analytical hierarchy process to data from a survey of 37 domestic experts and stakeholders. Key barriers to a...

We describe a method to represent the results of climate simulation models with analogues. An analogue to a city A is a city B whose climate today represents A's simulated future climate. Climates were characterized and compared non-parametrically, using the 30-years distribution of three...

This paper discusses aspects of risk and uncertainty relevant in an interdisciplinary assessment of climate change policy. It opposes not only the objective approach versus the subjective approach, but also situations when precise probabilities are well founded versus situations of broader forms...

In this article, we assess the future prospects of the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) from the perspective of a developing country, drawing on Vietnam as a case study. First, we review the performance of the CDM and describe the evolution of carbon markets on the path towards a post-2012...

This paper introduces a few words used by economists studying uncertainty, climate policy and integrated assessment models. Section one uses two pedagogical examples to define risk, uncertainty, surprise and contingent strategy. Regarding uncertainty that is not risk, subjective probabilities...

This case study describes the social aspects of Total's CO2 integrated capture, transport and storage pilot project in Frontsouthwestern France, from the initial press conference February 8th, 2007 to the announce of its end in 2013. The economic and social context was favorable. The company...
