Ecocharcoal Policies for Permanence in REDD
(2012)Policy Brief, Professorship of Environmental Policy and Economics, ETHReducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) is an important topic in the debate on policies to mitigate climate change. This is the first study to test and compare the environmental impact of different REDD+ payment schemes in the field, and provide some insights on the effectiveness of different policies with respect to the permanence of forest-based emission reductions. This study implements a stated preference ...Report -

Focal Report 7: SKI: Resilience and Risk Management in Critical Infrastructure Protection Policy
(2012)CSS Risk and Resilience ReportsThis focal report analyzes the relationship between resilience and risk management, which is the predominant methodology of protection policies. It is argued that there are three main conceptualizations of the risk-resilience relationship in the theoretical literature and in CIP-policy documents: resilience as the goal of risk management, resilience as part of risk management and resilience as alternative to risk management. The report ...Report -
Numerical solution of scalar conservation laws with random flux functions
(2012)Research ReportWe consider scalar hyperbolic conservation laws in several space dimensions, with a class of random (and parametric) flux functions. We propose a Karhunen–Loève expansion on the state space of the random flux. For random flux functions which are Lipschitz continuous with respect to the state variable, we prove the existence of a unique random entropy solution. Using a Karhunen–Loève spectral decomposition of the random flux into principal ...Report -
Focal Report 7: Risk Analysis
(2012)CSS Risk and Resilience ReportsDuring a large scale crisis, innovative information and communication technologies (ICT s) can support crisis managers in various ways to coordinate relief and response as well as communicate with stakeholders and the public. Yet, ICT s not only support traditional crisis management, but moreover have led to the emergence of new bottom-up systems of crisis coordination and cooperation. So far, little is known about the structures or the ...Report
