Summary / ZusammenfassungIn the global carbon cycle, oceans constitute the largest sink for carbon dioxide and significantlyslow atmospheric changes and the impacts of climatic change. At the same time, climate changereduces the uptake of greenhouse gases in the oceans, increases ocean acidification which, inturn, impacts the commercial uses of the ocean’s biological resources, and by contributing to thewarming of the oceans may also increase emissions of other greenhouse gases, such as methane.The oceans therefore play an important role in the interplay of climate change and climatemitigation with social welfare and sustainable development, but are often ignored in economicanalyses of carbon management.The objective of this research group will be to conduct an integrated analysis of the economic andsocial determinants which influence the impact human activities have on oceans as well as therepercussion of these changes on economic activities and human well-being. The research groupwill serve to integrate the findings of the other research groups within the “Greenhouse Oceans”theme. It will assess the costs, benefits and risks of climate impacts and mitigation as well as ofadaptation measures linked to oceans. By adopting a global perspective, this research group willalso analyze the potential for managing the role oceans can play in integrated carbonmanagement.Die Ozeane nehmen in dem globalen Kohlenstoffkreislauf einen großen Teil derTreibhausgasemissionen auf und verhindern so einen schnelleren Klimawandel. Gleichzeitigverändert die Aufnahme von CO 2 und der Klimawandel die Pufferkapazität der Ozeane. DieVersauerung der Ozeane verändert die biologischen Bedingungen mit möglicherweisebeträchtlichen Auswirkungen auf die kommerzielle Nutzung der Ressourcen des Ozeans und die57
Erwärmung der Ozeane kann zur Freisetzung von Methan aus den Ozeanen führen. Die Ozeanespielen deshalb eine wichtige Rolle in dem Zusammenspiel von Klimawandel und Klimapolitik mitwirtschaftlichen Aktivitäten und einer nachhaltigen Entwicklung, werden aber in der ökonomischenAnalyse des Kohlenstoffmanagements bislang weitgehend ignoriert.Die Ziele der Forschergruppe bestehen darin, die Erkenntnisse der anderen Gruppen zu nutzenund die wirtschaftlichen Aspekte der komplexen Rolle der Ozeane einer integrativen Analysezugänglich zu machen. Zum einen werden die Forschungsschwerpunkte in der Bewertung vonökonomischen Kosten, Nutzen und Risiken von Klimaauswirkungen und Vermeidungs- undAnpassungsmaßnahmen liegen. Zum anderen werden sie sich aus globaler Perspektive auf dieRolle der Ozeane in einem integrierten Kohlenstoffmanagement und auf die Auswirkungen desKlimawandels auf die wirtschaftliche Nutzung der Ozeane konzentrieren.2. State-of-the-artA long history of economic analyses exists which are concerned with the commercial use of naturalresources in the oceans. Optimal fishing strategies as well as the inefficiencies of institutionalarrangements for managing fish stocks have been given attention in numerous theoretical andempirical studies (Arnason 1991, Imeson 2004). The use of mineral resources and the ocean’s roleas a transport medium have been analyzed with special reference to legal aspects (Culiane 2004).Other major human impacts on the oceans which have been analyzed from an economicperspective are waste disposal in oceans and spills, the destruction of coastal ecosystems andland-based contamination (Constanza et al. 1999). Other new research activities consider theeconomics of carbon sequestration in oceans, including some first commercial experiments (IPCC2005). On the other hand, climate mitigation policies have been analyzed largely without referenceto the role of the oceans (IPCC 2001), although some analysis of the role of carbon sequestrationin oceans in a global carbon management has been initiated (for a summary of the literature cf.IPCC 2005). Thus far, a comprehensive analysis of carbon management options which include theoceans is lacking in terms of medium-term sequestration options. In addition, an evaluation of theexternalities of sequestration activities as well as the long-term challenges of a changing role of theoceans in the global carbon cycle still need to be investigated.3. Previous and on-going work of the proponentsKlepper, Peterson and Requate have been involved in numerous - often interdisciplinary - projectsand studies which are concerned with the economic modeling and analysis of climate mitigationstrategies, with the impacts of climate change as well as with the effects and efficiency of climatepolicy instruments on national, European and international levels. The research of Klepper andPeterson focuses especially on the analysis of climate policies using the numerical simulationmodel DART developed at the Kiel Institute (e.g. Klepper and Peterson 2006). Currently, both areinvolved in an EU network which develops and analyzes strategies for the transition to sustainabledevelopment paths, with particular focus on model improvements, as well as in a project on thesocioeconomic cost of climate change-induced health impacts. Requate has investigated the short-58
