Important International Policy Papers

Updated 28 May 2008
It looks like I'm spreading thinner rather than thicker, but I've added here another reference section, on global warming policy papers.

France
The Factor 4 Objective: addressing Climate Challenge in France - report chaired by Christian de Boissieu, commissioned by the French Ministries of Economy, Finance and Industry, and Ecology and Sustainable Development. Released August 2006.

United Kingdom
Stern Review on the economics of climate change - report by Sir Nicholas Stern, commissioned by the Treasury of the United Kingdom. Released 30 October 2006.

United States
The effects of climate change on agriculture, land resources, water resources, and biodiversity in the United States - not so much a policy paper, but a layout of what the likely effects of climate change will be to the United States. Released May 2008. Published by the United States Department of Agriculture, it describes as facts such things as "Climate change has very likely increased the size and number of forest fires, insect outbreaks, and tree mortality in the interior West, the Southwest, and Alaska, and will continue to do so".
Market-Based Approaches to CO2 Emissions Reductions - report by Leigh Raymond and Gerald Shively, Choices Magazine. Released April 2008. This article briefly describes one U.S. legislative proposal, and provides a basic definition of, and comparisons of benefits and tradeoffs of cap and trade vs carbon tax. Other relevant articles on climate change economics can be found here.
Greenhouse Gas Mitigation through Agriculture - article by Uwe A. Schneider and Pushpam Kumar. Good brief explanation of the role of agriculture and forestry in GHG mitigation.
A Perspective on Carbon Sequestration as a Strategy for Mitigating Climate Change - Choices magazine article by G. Cornelis van Kooten. Discusses the many issues related to Land Use, Land Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF) sequestration methods, and identifies questionable claims about some projects. It also discusses the issue of these projects likely having leakages, that is, the carbon sequestration is not permanent, and how these leakages are often ignored when making calculations of total carbon sequestration.
An Equitable Tax Reform to Address Global Climate Change - a policy paper from the Brookings Institution by Gilbert E. Metcalf. Talks about a revenue-neutral tax on carbon, with credits allocated to carbon savers and the poor.
