RLMT500 Week 7 Discussion

The climate policy toolkit has, to-date, mostly focused on demand side policies (i.e. policies that affect the pollution demand curve), some of which are ‘command-and control’ and others are market based (e.g. cap-and-trade schemes, carbon taxes). (a) Using a diagram or diagrams, explain how a cap-and-trade scheme could result in pollution reduction. (b) What is the Emissions Reduction Fund and what are its pros and cons? 1(c) Of the following four policy options, which one do you favour as a demandside policy and why? i. command-and-control in terms of a demand side climatechange ii. carbon tax iii. Emissions Reduction Fund iv. cap-and-trade scheme

Question # 14: Economic "Sustainability" and Environmental “Impact" Analysis : A country of 150 million Population with a per-capita income (A) of $ 25,000.00/year, Technological Capability Index ( T ) = .70 or 70%, with a skilled workforce (WF) of 75 million people ~ o Calculate the "SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT" and/or Economic viability of that country ?

What are the essential elements of a cost recovery model? How should parks be designed to meet increasing populations? And how can government rethink delivery of parks? THANK YOU IN ADVANCE.

The diagrams below show two circumstances involving conventional air pollutants. In each case the marginal damage costs (MDC) and marginal control costs (MCC) are shown as functions of total emissions. You are in charge of designing an emissions control system for the two circumstances. You must choose between an emissions charge system and a permit system. Given the shapes of the curves, which system would you opt for in each situation? Why? (Hint: This question has to do with uncertainty and the sensitivity of costs to small errors). $ MCC MDC emissions $ MDC MCC emissions

what steps are you going to take to promote CSR initiative for Amazon pharmancy? for example: what community programs, non profit, or environmental projects will the new product or services support? how do you plan to attract, develop, engage, and reward project team.

How do the policy influencing drivers impact stakeholders' interests; particularly with regard to at-risk and vulnerable communities?

Cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) differs from cost-benefit (B/C) analysis in that: Select one: a. CEA is more time-consuming and resource-intensive b. CEA cannot handle independent alternatives c. CEA expresses outcomes in natural units rather than in currency units d. CEA cannot handle multiple alternatives

Can i get some idea for the question number 3 so that i can further write in detail?

examples of a small business using open innovation practices to address the challenge they faced during the covid-19 pandemic?

Although Toyota struggled during the global financial crisis, the more recent earthquake and tsunami in Japan terminated all of Toyota's efforts aimed at promoting the green benefits of the Prius. True false

For this task, you may like to gather some external information to find out more about the work and biography of your potential guest economist and the topic that been chosen (unemployment rate and cost of living during the pandemic in Australia). You should include references to any external information sources that you use. Prepare a short proposal outlining the topic of your event. Your proposal should describe your topic and explain how it is relevant to people today. The topic should relate to the issues we have learnt about this macroeconomics course. (3-4 sentences)

Apart from its economic strategies, Coca Cola Amatil has identified three main CSR objectives: Sustainable water management, Efficient energy use Reduction in packaging and post-consumer waste.   There is ongoing concern at the environmental costs arising from the packaging and distribution of bottled water. Critics argue that the unnecessary transport of water leads to increased carbon emissions. The water used in CCA's bottled water products is sourced locally - from within around two hours' drive of their production plants. The bulk of their water is purchased at market rates from small businesses or farmers. Sourcing water locally means minimal environmental negatives, such as carbon emissions that come from unnecessary transportation of water.   Measures such as increased efficiencies in water use, less waste in plant operations and harvesting rain water have helped CCA to maintain world's-best practice in the global Coca-Cola system, with just 1.55 litres of water used per…

Recently, the following two projects have been proposed for South Australia:   The construction of a hydrogen power plant   The construction of a sporting/entertainment complex     Assignment Your task is to take ONE of the policies listed above and answer the below set of questions.  When answering the questions below, the focus should be on the policies themselves rather than any political debates or discourse. If you were employed by government as an economic consultant to the project, discuss how you would approach the issue of measuring benefits and costs including any problems that you might encounter in such an exercise. Hint: try and be specific here and think about measurement of specific aspects of the project rather than broadly discuss CBA.

PLEASE HELP, PLEASE  A) Read up about the benefits of Global Citizenship Education in resolving environmental issues based on the THREE (3) domains of learning, namely cognitive, socio-emotional and behaviour.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of using total economic value estimates to develop environmental policy recommendations? What is the relationship between your answer and your worldview (anthropocentric or ecocentric)?

A couple of years ago, a global carbon tax seemed far from becoming a reality. However, the introduction of a such a tax now appears to be a possible and viable new instrument for mitigating climate change. The idea has been advocated by heads of international organizations, businesses and professional services firms (including PwC) and lobbyist for big companies (including the Business Council of Australia). Suppose that governments worldwide were to agree to implement a minimum carbon tax of 75 US dollars per tonne of C02 emissions. Further, suppose that you are the CEO of a manufacturer of affordable casual clothing. From this perspective, answer the following questions: Based on the article by Dr Alice Pirlot, explain how you would expect a global carbon tax to change the current laws and regulations that affect your business under the existing international legal framework. Suppose that your shareholders are only concerned with maximising the profits of your business, given the…

Our opinions vary according to direction, intensity, stability, and salience. You have a very strong opinion about what should be done regarding the immigrant problem at the U.S.-Mexico border. Is this an example of direction, intensity, stability, or salience? Direction Intensity Stability Salience

Identify and justify two SDGs that support / complement SDG 11 inpromoting an inclusive community / society / city.

For an infinite-period multiple rotation model (Faustmann Rotation) for a forest, explain the economic intuition behind: (a) (In words) the mathematical condition that determines when the rotation length should end. (b) Why each rotation period is the same length of time. (c) The role of the discount rate in determining rotation length. (d) How the addition of non-timber benefit may influence rotation length. You need to define the specific non-timber benefit also.

A major difficulty for using economic value to argue for conservation is: it is hard to calculate the value of converted land the value of goods from natural areas cannot be calculated decision makers tend to value immediate rewards over longer time frames

If MBmi(s)=180-15s and MCown(s)=5s, how much pollution is emitted with no controls on pollution? What is the optimal amount of pollution (s*)? How much would the firm abate (A*)? If the government used a pollution tax to achieve s*, where would it set the tax? How much would this tax raise in revenues? What would be the total abatement cost?

A farmer in rural South Africa observes that the quality of her soil is degrading and preventing her from maximizing yield. As a result, she decides to incorporate new techniques including applying compost, rotating crops, and stopping tillage. What kind of agriculture is this farmer implementing?       Conventional agriculture     Modern agriculture     Conservation agriculture     Factory farming Although conservation agriculture provides several benefits, what is one primary reason that farmers may be reluctant to adopt those practices?       Yield decreases over time     Intensive labor requirements     Requirements of an irrigation system     Heavy reliance on synthetic fertilizers Under the Kyoto Protocol, if France built a solar power plant in Senegal and then claimed “carbon credits” for reducing global carbon dioxide emissions from energy production in sub-Saharan Africa, this would be an example of:…

All of the below statements caution us about the dangers of continued over-reliance upon fossil fuels for future production, EXCEPT for this one. Please identify the statement that does NOT alert us that continued dependence solely upon fossil fuels for future productive activity may not be in the best interests of our global community. Group of answer choices   Fossils Fuels have been associated with environmental damage, and some claim, possibly even global warming and climate change.   Economies that possess oil, coal and other fossil fuels can control the price and availability of these and deny the use of these for political reasons.   Better technology is enabling exploration and extraction of previously unknown or unavailable sources of oil, and even coal.   Fossil fuels are finite resources. As world populations and economic growth aspirations, both, incease, economies will use more energy to produce more,

The interests of environmentalists and business are almost always directly opposed to each other. Being pro-environment usually means that one is going to be opposed to business interests, and being pro-business means working against environmental preservation and environmental concerns. True False
