Abstract: Many countries are implementing or at least considering policies to counter increasingly certain negative impacts from climate change. A large amount of research has been devoted to the analysis of the costs of climate change and its mitigation, as well as to the design of policies, such as the international Kyoto Protocol, post-Kyoto negotiations, regional initiatives, and unilateral actions. Although most studies on climate change policies in economics have focused on efficiency aspects, there is a growing literature on equity and justice.
