Research Topic: Toward a Transpacific Carbon Market (TCM): Politically Feasible and Sustainable (ToPCaPS)
Climate change is a major threat to modern global society, but also a unique chance for transforming our society into a more sustainable one. Carbon markets offer a promising answer to that challenge, and Pacific abutters are amongst the biggest polluters in the world. Using an inter- and transdisciplinary approach I will (1) analyze technical and political challenges of establishing a sustainable transpacific carbon market as the major means of climate policy in the region, (2) develop a model for sustainable linking, and (3) advance the respective politico-economic theory.
