                                Environmental Policy

Answer all questions from section A and ONE question from section B. Each section is worth
50% of the marks for the exam and you should allow 1 hour for each section.

Section A: Shorter response questions

Answer all questions using full sentences. Each question carries an equal number of marks.

1.     The following news story was reported by Reuters on Feb 12th, 2009:

       “Top airlines want aviation emissions in climate pact. - Four leading airlines
       called on Thursday for aviation emissions to be included in a broader climate
       pact.”

       Explain why airlines might campaign for regulation of aviation emissions.

2.     Outline the main policy instruments by which society can reduce pollution, and the
       pros and cons of each.

3.     Briefly describe the main advantages and disadvantages of using Cost-Benefit
       Analysis, rather than a referendum, to decide whether to adopt an environmental
       policy.

4.     Less than 3% of the UK’s GDP is derived from agriculture yet the UK subsidises
       farming to the order of 11,000 Euros per farm worker, per year. Outline the main
       reasons why farmers receive so much subsidy.

Section B. Essay questions

5.     Critically discuss how we should allocate quotas for greenhouse gas emissions
       between the nations of the world. Should nations which exceed their quotas be
       allowed to buy unused quotas from others?

6.     What determines which environmental policies are adopted by governments?
       Illustrate your answer with examples which may be drawn from one or more policy
       areas.
