Full textDuring the past 35 years, like other countries in Southeast Asia, the Lao People’s Democratic Republic went through major changes, especially as the Pathet Lao took control over the country, becoming the official Government. Many steps were taken by the new government to build the Lao nation, such as the ‘collectivization’ program. In 1986, after the failure of previous measures, the Communist Party implemented free-market reforms in a way to increase economic growth. This was done by encouraging foreign investment and the country’s economic development. Over the last three decades, Lao citizens had to adapt to these changes; especially in mountainous areas, where agrarian changes occurred. Among them, cash crops, monocropping and plantations have modified the landscape and the socioeconomic geography of the territory. From these findings, questions emerge, such as: Who is motivating socioeconomic and territorial integration of mountainous and marginal regions to different levels? What are the goals pursued by the actors of the socioeconomic and territorial integration and which strategies are adopted? What are the factors that contribute to various paces in the rhythm of adaptation? Where do people acquire their knowledge to adapt to the changes generated by integration policies and strategies? A better understanding of the process underlying the socioeconomic regional integration of the country into the global market, from 1981 to 2015, is the general objective of this research. Based on a case study of Bachieng Chaleunsouk and Pathoumphone districts, located at the margins of the Bolaven Plateau, in Champasak region, this research demonstrates how development generates new dynamics between the people, the state and the market.

Full textL'étude du système agraire de Phongsaly, petite région du Nord Laos, a permis d'appréhender la diversité et la rationalité des pratiques paysannes d'abattis-brûlis, qui se sont différenciées au cours de l'histoire récente du fait d'une intervention croissante de l'Etat. Les résultats locaux sont cohérents avec la revue de la bibliographie existante : la plupart des critiques de ce système de production s'avèrent infondées. Quand elles participent à la déforestation, ce qui n'est pas systématique, les agricultures d'abattis-brûlis en rotation n'y jouent qu'un rôle limité ; l'exploitation forestière et les agricultures pionnières en sont les principales causes. La complexité et la logique des systèmes agraires d'abattis-brûlis sont classiquement méconnues par les groupes sociaux tiers. Les pratiques des essarteurs, généralement des montagnards et de minorités ethniques, sont évaluées par des habitants des plaines en fonction de leurs préoccupations et des utilités qu'ils assignent à la forêt et la montagne. Les scientifiques n'apportent que rarement un éclairage rigoureux et objectif dans ces débats au sein desquels abondent trop souvent les lieux communs. L'agriculture paysanne contribuant souvent positivement à la gestion de l'environnement, il convient de la revaloriser. Les politiques agricoles devraient donc prendre en compte les savoirs et l'expérience des paysans pour la gestion durable des ressources naturelles. L'unique possibilité pertinente est l'association des paysans à l'élaboration et la mise en œuvre des interventions publiques.

Full textA public policy is regressive (progressive) if low-income households bear a relatively greater (lower) proportion of its cost than high-income households. We build a microeconomic model to determine the regressivity or progressivity of environmental policies affecting the price of energy, the cost of improving energy efficiency, energy efficiency standards and / or the consumer's income. This model takes into account the fact that energy service is generally an essential good and that an energy efficiency standard has no impact on consumers for whom it is not binding. The model is applied to the study of of environmental policies: (i) a unit tax on energy, (ii) a unit subsidy to energy efficiency, (iii) an energy efficiency standard modeled as a unit tax, as in Levinson (2016), (iv) an energy efficiency standard modeled as a prescriptive regulation and (v) a subsidy that enables consumers to meet a new standard, which we call "grant to meet a standard". To allow comparisons, all policies are fiscally neutral since they do not affect the government's budget. We show that, although environmentally equivalent, an energy tax is regressive while the energy efficiency subsidy is progressive. We also show that Levinson's (2016) main result which suggests that a unit tax is more desirable than an energy efficiency standard relies on unclear deffinitions of regressivity and standard.

Full textThe second chapter, "Climate Change Mitigation in the Presence of Technology Spillovers", explores the implications of an increase in clean technology spillovers between developed and developing countries. I build a 2-stage 2-country game of abatements in which players are linked with technology spillovers. The two countries are asymmetric in their technology endowment. Country 1 - the developed country - is the only one able to invest in technology that lowers abatement costs. Country 2 - the developing country - captures only part of the technology provided by country 1.
The third chapter, "Threshold Effects in Self-Enforcing International Environmental Agreements" is co-written with Renaud Foucart. In this chapter, we address the stability of self-enforcing International Environmental Agreements (IEAs) with the presence of a threshold of irreversible climate change. Climate scientists recognize the existence of human-induced abrupt climate changes that are likely to occur when the climate system crosses some threshold. We show that taking into account these threshold effects - when identified with enough accuracy - allows for the existence of more ambitious agreements than those predicted by the traditional literature on IEAs. When considering abrupt irreversible damage, the contribution of any country that helps prevent the world from such a catastrophe is very large. Consequently, a high number of signatories that could potentially prevent the climate system from crossing the threshold could form a self-enforcing agreement.

Full textx200811\u Esta investigación trata de la implementación del Convenio sobre la Diversidad Biológica. Puesto que la biodiversidad se ve afectada por una variada gama de actividades humanas, de las cuales varias no dependen de los gobiernos nacionales, en el contexto del presente trabajo la implementación es evaluada al nivel infra-nacional. Un estudio de diversos casos fue llevado a cabo en el sur del Ecuador con el objetivo de determinar cuales de los seis factores evaluados (recursos financieros y humanos, estabilidad y voluntad política, capacidades de la sociedad civil, implicación de actores externos) se encuentran más íntimamente relacionados con las diferencias observadas en la implementación del convenio entre los niveles gubernamentales y entre las unidades políticas. Los datos acumulados no permiten identificar ni un factor, ni varios factores pudiendo ser citados como más determinantes con respecto a un nivel dado. Sin embargo, otras observaciones de terreno parecen indicar la importancia de la implicación de actores externos. Por otro lado, según la opinión de varias de las personas entrevistadas, los recursos disponibles son determinantes, pero su importancia sería condicional a la sensibilización de la población y de l@s polític@s.
x200812\u This research looks at the level of implementation of the Convention on biological diversity. Since biodiversity is affected by myriads of human activities, many of which do not depend on national governments, implementation is measured in subnational governments. A multiple case study was conducted in southern Ecuador in order to study which of six factors (financial and human resources, political stability and will, civil society capacities, external actors’ implication) are more closely linked to observed differences in the implementation between governmental levels and political units. The data collected in the field does not enable us to identify one or more factors as more determining. Nevertheless, other field observations seem to indicate the importance of external actors’ implication. Furthermore, according to some thirty interviews carried on, resources are crucial, but, as mentioned by several, depend on the sensitisation of the population and political figures.

Full textLes grands défis environnementaux, particulièrement celui des changements climatiques, sont beaucoup plus sociaux que techniques, car c’est principalement notre mode de vie qui est en cause. Pouvons-nous effectuer les changements qui s’imposent ? Quelles sont les principales difficultés à vaincre ? Comment les gouvernements doivent-ils agir ? Pour contribuer à répondre à ces questions, nous avons choisi d’interviewer douze anciens ministres responsables des questions environnementales afin de comprendre les raisons de leur action, ainsi que les représentations qui les sous-tendent. Tant en France qu’au Québec, un ministre doit prendre en compte autant les perceptions et les représentations des citoyens que celles des différents groupes avec lesquels il est en contact (groupes de pression, lobbies, médias, élus locaux, etc.), de même que les objectifs du gouvernement et de son parti politique. Sa marge de manoeuvre est étroite, ce qui explique en bonne partie pouquoi les ministres que nous avons interrogés ont tous agi un peu de la même manière. Ils ont tous tenté de faire au mieux pour la protection de l’environnement et le bien-être de leurs concitoyens, mais sans trop bousculer leur mode de vie ni l’ordre établi, tout en étant généralement très conscients que les défis à relever vont demander très bientôt des décisions beaucoup plus difficiles. La sociologie politique explique que les décisions politiques dans nos sociétés démocratiques sont des constructions collectives d’acteurs en interaction, et confirme donc globalement les résultats de notre analyse. Les actions politiques des anciens ministres peuvent également être interprétés à la lumière des trois logiques de l’action décrites par François Dubet. Par ailleurs, dans une vision interactionniste, où la signification des objets est créée par l’interaction, l’action est difficile lorsque cette signification n’est pas la même pour les différents acteurs, et c’est ce que nos avons constaté pour les enjeux environnementaux à long terme qui sont perçus très différemment par les citoyens et les ministres.
The most important environmental challenges, particularly climate change, are much more social than technical, because it is mainly our way of life that is at the heart of the question. Can we make the necessary changes? What are the main difficulties to overcome? How should governments act? To help answer these questions, we chose to interview twelve former ministers responsible for environmental issues in order to understand the reasons for their actions, as well as the representations that underlie them. In both France and Quebec, a minister must take into account the perceptions and representations of citizens and those of the various groups with which he or she is in contact (lobby groups, media, local elected representatives, etc.), as well as the objectives of the government and those of his or her political party. The room for maneuver is narrow, which explains in large part why the ministers we interviewed all acted a little in the same way. They have all tried to do their best to protect the environment and the welfare of their fellow citizens, but without significantly affecting their way of life or the established order, while being generally aware that the challenges ahead will very soon require much more difficult decisions. Political sociology explains that political decisions in our democratic societies are collective constructions of actors in interaction, and thus confirms the results of our analysis. The political actions of former ministers can also be interpreted in the light of the three logics of action described by François Dubet. Moreover, from an interactionist point of view, where the meaning of objects is created by interaction, action is difficult when this meaning is not the same for different actors; this is what we have observed for long-term environmental issues that are perceived very differently by citizens and ministers.

Full textClimate change represents what science says and what politics is increasingly taking into account (Ouranos, 2015). The purpose of this thesis aims to document the implementation of the two last action plans against global warming, prepared by the Governement of Québec, namely Le Québec et les changements climatiques : un défi pour l’avenir. Plan d’action 2006-2012, and Le Québec en action. Vert 2020. Plan d’action 2013-2020 sur les changements climatiques. At the junction between the analysis of public action (Matland, 1995 ; Kübler et Maillard, 2009) and the theoretical framework of the ecological modernization and its tradition of the public policies sociology (Béal, 2016), this thesis tries to answer two questions : how is the implementation carried out and why are there successes and difficulties to this adoption? Québec gets its foot in a low-carbon society, through the wind and hydroelectric energy tandem. However, fighting against climate change represents a major challenge, which Québec has accepted with an ambitious target. The PACC 2006-2012 got some basis implemented, but there remains a lot to do and outcomes remain unknown : will the PACC 2013-2020 achieve its greenhouse gas emissions reduction target of 20 % below the line of 1990 (Gouvernement du Québec, 2012a, p. I) ? At march 31, 2016, one notes the under-implementation of the PACC 2013-2020, since 22 % only of the planned budget had already been spent (MDDELCC, 2017a, p. 46). Greenhouse gas emissions reduction and climate change adaptation are lagging behind projections. The thesis fits into the theoretical framework of the ecological modernization (Huber, 1982 ; Spaargaren et Mol, 1992 ; Hajer, 1995 ; Jänicke, 1995 ; Mol, 2003 ; Christoff, 2009 ; Spaargaren et al., 2009 ; Toke, 2011), which many people present as the sociological version of the sustainable development project, focused on state and industrial actors, then the civil society (Buttel, 2003). Moreover, source of analytical and comprehensive wealth, which escapes from quantitative studies, the preferred method is semi-directive interviews (Fortin, 2013) with the supervisors of the two PACC, public authorities for the greater part, as well as content analysis (Leray, 2008) for data treatment. But the obvious limitations of the indicators and the qualitative method involve a partial validation of the hypotheses. Otherwise, the ecological modernization thesis takes place in a long-term perspective and requires time for an empirical testing (Guay, 2018)...

Full textBelMod is intended to act as an analytical and quantitative support for decision-making in the energy/environment field and fiscal policies. The tool would be in evaluating ex-ante the cost and benefit of different policies to be implemented. The winners and the losers may easily be identified. BelMod also aims at filling the gaps left by the other models currently used in Belgium, in particular by explicit bottom-up modelling of the three Belgian regions (Brussels, Flanders, Wallonia) in the full integrated framework, by further disaggregating the production and consumption blocks, by distinguishing different types of households to study the distributional effects of environmental and fiscal policies.
The effect of let’s say, carbon tax, may affect branches of activities, markets and institutions differently over time and space. Under the “Burden Sharing Agreement”, Belgium committed to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 7.5 % by 2008-2012 from the 1990 level. Therefore the efficient way of dealing with this issue requires an analytical tool which can take into account the interactions between institutional agents (regional governments, community’s governments, central government, households, firms and rest of the world), their behaviour and the time horizon. The most adequate tool to do so is the general equilibrium model.
A CGE model such as BelMod requires a consistent, detailed and well structured database in the form of a social accounting matrix (SAM). A SAM is a square matrix which takes into account the production, consumption, revenues, expenditures and transactions of institutions at a given period of time. The reference year for our SAM is 2003. The SAM we built contains sixty two (62) branches of activity, sixty nine (69) commodities, three (3) regional governments, the French Community, the Central Government, the capital accounts and the Rest of the World.
Finally, to illustrate the capabilities of the model we provide two scenario analyses. In the first policy scenario, we simulate the introduction of a carbon tax at 20 euro per ton of CO2 emissions in 2013-2020 and 30 euro per ton of CO2 emissions in 2021-2050. In the second policy scenario, we simulate a linear and gradual increase of the crude oil price to 150 US dollars per barrel in 2050. The increase starts in 2008 and the target (150 US dollars) is reached in 2050.

Full textDans un contexte où les changements climatiques se manifestent sous forme de phénomènes climatiques extrêmes tels que des sècheresses prolongées et des précipitations abondantes soudaines, la question de la texture des sols urbains et de la protection des sources d’eau fait l’objet de nouvelles préoccupations en matière de planification urbaine. Alors que la régulation et la filtration de l’eau de ruissèlement sont restreintes par l’imperméabilité des surfaces urbaines, plusieurs métropoles, dont São Paulo, peuvent se retrouver en situation de crises dues à l’indisponibilité de l’eau potable, aux inondations subites ou à la création d’îlots de chaleur. L’efficacité de la gouvernance environnementale appliquée à la gestion des eaux en milieu métropolitain devient donc primordiale. Par une étude de cas de la métropole de São Paulo, la présente recherche tente d’élucider les facteurs rendant possible l’atteinte d’un modèle de gouvernance environnementale métropolitain qui permettrait de maintenir les fonctions écosystémiques des bassins versants et de construire la résilience à la variabilité climatique. La stratégie d’enquête, basée sur l’analyse de documents scientifiques et gouvernementaux, l’observation participante et la tenue d’entretiens semi-dirigés, permit de soulever plusieurs obstacles à l'application des politiques publiques de protection des espaces verts et des sources d’eau. La carence de maîtrise de l’usage des sols, la priorisation des intérêts économiques, la sectorisation des instances gouvernementales et la faible intégration de la société civile au processus de prise de décision surgissent comme d’importants freins à la construction d’une gouvernance environnementale à São Paulo. La considération des savoirs scientifiques et locaux et la gestion du risque lié à la variabilité climatique sont marginalisées par la sphère politique. Ainsi, la présence d’une vaste législation environnementale, telle qu’en vigueur dans la métropole de São Paulo, ne signifie pas forcément une application des projets et des règlements sans faille.
In a context where climate changes are manifested by extreme climatic events such as prolonged droughts and sudden abundant rainfall, the issue of urban soil texture and water protection is a new concern in urban planning. While the regulation and filtration of runoff water is restricted by the impermeability of urban surfaces, several cities, including São Paulo, may end up in crisis due to the unavailability of drinking water, floods or creation of heat islands. The effectiveness of environmental governance applied to water management in metropolitan areas therefore becomes paramount importance. Through a case study of the metropolis of São Paulo, this research attempts to elucidate the factors that make it possible to achieve a metropolitan environmental governance that would maintain watersheds ecosystem functions and build resilience to climate variability. The research strategy, based on the analysis of scientific and governmental documents, participant observation and semistructured interviews, shows several obstacles to the application of public policies for the protection of green spaces and water sources. The lack of control over land use, the prioritization of economic interests, the governmental sectoralization and the weak integration of civil society into the decision-making process appear as major obstacles to the construction of environmental governance in São Paulo. Scientific and local knowledges and climate risk management are marginalized by the political sphere. Thus, the presence of a vast environmental legislation, as in place in the metropolis of São Paulo, does not necessarily mean an unfailing application of projects and regulations.
