Effects of GHG Mitigation Policies on Livestock Sectors

摘要: In this paper we have investigated effects of GHG mitigation policies on livestock sectors. We used a global computable general equilibrium GTAP-AEZ-GHG model with explicit unique regional land types, uses and related emissions. The is then augmented cost response information from partial approaches to abatement land-based greenhouse gas With framework analyze changes in output, sector competitiveness food consumption under different climate change policy regimes. Scenarios considered differ by participation/exclusion agricultural sectors non-Annex I countries, as well instruments. imposition carbon tax agriculture has adverse affects consumption, especially developing countries. reductions are smaller if the producer subsidy introduced compensate for producers pay. forest sequestration effectively controls emission leakage when imposed only Annex regions. bids away 1 regions prevents expansion Though allows reduction emissions, implemented, may adversely affect security development
