Abstract:
|
Up until now, analyses of the international distribution of pollutant emissions
have not paid sufficient attention to the implications that, in terms of social
welfare, the combined evolution of the global world average entails. In this
context, this paper proposes the use of environmental welfare indices, taken
and adapted from the literature on social welfare and inequality, in order to
make a comprehensive examination of the international equity factor and the
mean factor in this field. The proposed methodology is implemented empirically
in order to explore the evolution in distributive-based environmental welfare on
a global level for the three main pollutants with greenhouse gas effects: CO2,
CH4 and NO, both globally and for selected years during the period of 1990-
2005. The main results found are as follows: firstly, typically, the environmental
welfare associated with the overall greenhouse gases decreased significantly
over the period, due primarily to the role of CO2; secondly, in contrast, the
global welfare associated with CH4 and NO improved; and thirdly, typically, the
evolutions can be attributed to a greater extent to the mean component than to
the distributive component, although there are exceptions. These results would
seem to be relevant in policy terms.
