Egunon Bizkaia colabora con BC3 para acercar el cambio climático a la ciudadanía

En edición especial de Egunon Bizkaia de Herri Irratia-Radio Popular de agosto BC3 ha colaborado con Arantza Sinoba en una sección semana donde el cambio climático ha sido el hilo conductor. A lo largo de tres semanas, cada miércoles, entre las 12.30-13.00, investigadores del centro han acompañardo a Sinoba para plasmar las causas y consecuencias de esta crisis climática. ¿Cómo afecta el cambio climático a las ciudades?, ¿Qué estamos haciendo para parar el cambio climático? ¿Qué podemos hacer nosotros como individuos? ¿Cómo afecta a la salud?, ¿Cómo nos está afectando la transición energética?, los investigadores Marta Olazabal, Estibaliz Sanz, Jorge Moreno, Ester Galende e Iñaki Arto han sido los encargados de darles respuestas a estas preguntas.

Book chapter: Delta Economics and Sustainability

Environmental change constitutes a risk to the sustainability of economic activities, within deltas and the wider regions and economies within which they sit. Slow acting environmental change and shocks from extreme events can affect economic activities. Using multiregional input-output tables, extended to include environmental dimensions and combined with Computable General Equilibrium models, flows of economic activities and ecosystem services across supply chains are assessed.

A green tax reform in Spain can reduce emissions without imposing economic hardship on any segment of the population

The latest studies by researchers at the University of Oldenburg (Germany), the Basque Center for Climate Change, and the MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change shows that low-income households in Spain can actually benefit from environmental taxes if revenues are redistributed to all taxpayers. Using a computational model to assess the environmental and economic impacts of a green tax reform policy in which revenues are recycled in equal amounts to households in annual lump-sum payments, the researchers found that the policy significantly reduces emissions without imposing economic hardship on any segment of the population.

Greener and Fairer: A Progressive Environmental Tax Reform for Spain

Environmental externalities call for the use of environmental taxes to get prices right and thereby reduce environmental pressures. To date, however, the Spanish government makes only limited use of environmental taxes. One major reason for the policy reluctance are concerns on the regressive impacts of environmental taxes. We argue that policy can hedge against these concerns by means of revenue recycling. More specifically, we assess the impacts of a green tax reform where additional revenues are redistributed lump-sum to Spanish households on an equal-per-capita basis. Based on quantitative evidence from coupled microsimulation and computable equilibrium analyses we find that such a green tax reform leads to a substantial reduction in harmful emissions while having a progressive impact.
