A news-based climate policy uncertainty index for China [PDF]
Scientific Data, 2023 Climate policies can have a significant impact on the economy. However, these policies have often been associated with uncertainty. Quantitative assessment of the socioeconomic impact of climate policy uncertainty is equally or perhaps more important ...

Predictability of climate policy uncertainty index
International Review of Economics & FinanceSince Gavriilidis (2021) constructed the monthly climate policy uncertainty (CPU) index, researchers have used the index to investigate the impact of CPU on economic, financial, and energy markets at the level of both mean and volatility. Focusing on the

Climate policy uncertainty and green innovation
Economics Letters, 2023 This study examines the impact of climate policy uncertainty on green patenting activities among U.S. firms during the period from 1987 to 2019. The results indicate that climate policy uncertainty is negatively associated with firms’ green patenting activities. The results are robust to controlling for economic policy uncertainty. Overall, the results

Uncertainty and Climate Change Policy [PDF]
Economic Analysis and Policy, 2008 The paper consists of a summary of the main sources of uncertainty about climate change, and a discussion of the major implications for economic analysis and the formulation of climate policy. Uncertainty typically implies that the optimal policy is more risk-averse than otherwise, and therefore enhances the case for action to mitigate climate change.

Climate policy design under uncertainty [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2005 The uncertainty surrounding both costs and benefits associated with global climate change mitigation creates enormous hurdles for scientists, stakeholders, and decisionmakers. A key issue is how policy choices balance uncertainty about costs and benefits.

Uncertainty in Climate Science and Climate Policy [PDF]
, 2018 This essay, written by a statistician and a climate scientist, describes our view of the gap that exists between current practice in mainstream climate science, and the practical needs of policymakers charged with exploring possible interventions in the context of climate change.

Uncertainty in science and its role in climate policy [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2011 Policy-making is usually about risk management. Thus, the handling of uncertainty in science is central to its support of sound policy-making. There is value in scientists engaging in a deep conversation with policy-makers and others, not merely ‘delivering’ results or analyses and then playing no further role.

Climate Change, Uncertainty, and Policy
, 2021 While the foundations of climate science and ethics are well established, fine-grained climate predictions, as well as policy-decisions, are beset with uncertainties. This chapter maps climate uncertainties and classifies them as to their ground, extent and location.

Climate policy decisions under uncertainty [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2015 The economics of global climate mitigation is discussed when there is imperfect knowledge of future climatic changes, of policy effectiveness and of the policy responses by different countries. Uncertainty is accounted for by using heuristics derived from classical decision rules.

Nature Communications, 2023 Despite its projected crucial role in stringent, future global climate policy, non-CO2 greenhouse gas (NCGG) mitigation remains a large uncertain factor in climate research.
