Climate Impact and Action: The Travel and Tourism Industry in the Caribbean and Small Island Developing States
Small Island Developing States (SIDS) like those in the Caribbean region are doubly jeopardized by climate change. They are not major emitters of greenhouse gases, but are amongst the most impacted by the ecological and economic fallout associated with climate change. SIDS are also highly trade and tourism-dependent economies and are therefore very vulnerable to the indirect policy impact from border carbon adjustment measures that would affect international travel and tourism.

Risk Aversion, Environmental Regulation and Cournot Competition on Electricity Wholesale Market
This paper analyses the effect of green energy promotion policies in a decentralized power industry. We develop a Cournot duopolistic competition between risk-adverse operators each detaining polluting and clean technologies. We show that the subsidy-based policy for green energy allows the liberalization of the electricity industry to achieve the double objective of reducing pollution and electricity prices. However, these effects are mitigated as the green firm is more risk adverse.
