| Research Abstract |
When it comes to allocation of costs relevant to climate change, it would be useful to distinguish three types of costs, namely (1)mitigation cost, (2)adaptation cost, and (3)cost of climate damage. In terms of mitigation cost, current Japanese policy as well as international regime up to 2020 are both based on willingness to pay. The cost of mitigation should be allocated in way that produces a efficient and effective reduction of global emissions. The market mechanisms may help to realize such allocation. In terms of adaptation cost and cost of climate damage, there’re no clear rules on their allocation either in Japanese policy or in international regime so far. Since these costs derive from adverse impacts of the past emissions, it would be reasonable to use “historical contribution” as criteria for allocation of these costs.
