Beyond KyotoBeyond Kyoto, Energy Dynamics and Climate Stabilisation. International Energy Agency (IEA) / Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OEDC). 11/2002. This volume details the options available in the energy sector to reduce climate change. It explores the type of international agreement that could cope with the uncertainty inherent in implementing a climate programme at the national and international level. Mitigating climate change will require profound changes in world energy production and use. While the full effects of climate change are not likely to be felt for decades, the need for action is more immediate, - changes in greenhouse gas concentrations are almost irreversable. Solutions exist in the form of energy efficiency improvements, fuel switching to non-carbon sources, and carbon recovery and storage. But the long-term costs of mitigation and the precise extent and pace of climate damage remain uncertain. Policy makers face the task of conceiving and implementing measures in this context of uncertainty - and global inequity - and run the risk of taking either excessive or insufficient action. This book identifies mechanisms to deal with both international equity and economic uncertainty, and addresses the fundamental question: how can we proceed beyond Kyoto?

OEDC Economic Survey of Euro AreaEuro Area: OECD Economic Surveys Volume 2002/16 - September. Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). 10/2002. The economic situation and policies of the Euro area were reviewed by the Economic and Development Review Committee of the OECD on May 13 2002. The draft report was then reviewed in light of the discussion and given approval on July 30 2002. This highly sought-after review provides a solid analysis of developments in the Euro area. This issue offers a special feature on financial market integration and extensive statistical information. The euro area experienced a marked slowdown in economic growth from 3.5 per cent in 2000 to 1.5 per cent in 2001, prompted by a series of shocks common to the OECD area including the effects of the September 11 terrorist attacks in the US and a surge in oil prices in 1999-2000. However, an economic recovery is now underway and should gain momentum during the course of 2002. The labour market continues to show remarkable resilience. Inflation has remained above the 2 per cent target level since early 2000, but so far this does not appear to have compromised the monetary policy credibility of the European Central Bank. There is a need for further financial market integration with remaining entry barriers addressed. The current structure of regulation and supervision needs to be reviewed with co-ordination processes streamlined. This should help foster progress towards structural reform and help in absorbing country-specific shocks more smoothly. Size - A5; Binding - Paperback; 187 pages. ISBN 9264191585. $42.00

An overview of the current agricultural situation by main regions in the world, both developing and developed, is presented, with discussion of current issues of importance for agriculture in the various regions. Agriculture, fisheries, and forestry, if properly managed, can provide a series of benefits to large sections of people - benefits such as landscape conservation, watershed protection, biodiversity conservation, and ecosystem stability. Some of these so-called public goods are global in nature; they benefit all or large sections of humanity. This year's report discusses some of these global public goods and calls for increased international financial flows towards agriculture and rural areas in order to promote their provision. It also examines one of the possible new mechanisms for this financing: the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) deriving from the Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. Included in this issue is the SOFA 2002 CD-ROM, containing time series data for 150 countries, country groups and regions in English, French and Spanish, together with FAOSTAT TS software to ensure easy access and use.
