Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is not obvious that the extension of a cap and trade to the upstream fuels used for transportation and by residential and commercial sectors will be equivalent to the carbon tax in terms of impact on prices to consumers. [...] The broader the coverage of a cap and trade system therefore, the more likely the system is efficient. [...] These impacts are dependent on the ability of the allowance holder to pass along to the consumer the explicit or implicit price of the allowance (an allowance not sold is valued at the market price or future price of the allowance). [...] While research has shown that a market-based policy significantly reduces the cost of meeting environmental targets compared to command and control regulation (e.g., emission standards), the more uncertain the pricing component of the market-based policy, the smaller the gap in compli- ance costs between the policy regimes. [...] Safety values-price ceilings and floors: If the regulator specifies the minimum and maximum price of an allowance, there is of course more certainty for the emitters, but less scope for the market to 'work' in the sense that there is no guarantee that the supply of permits will equal the demand for permits within the range set by the floor and ceiling.

This book was released on 2014-05-28 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The report is a one stop shop for learning about key developments and prospects of existing and emerging carbon initiatives. A challenging international carbon market has not stopped the development of domestic carbon pricing initiatives. Today, about 40 national and over 20 sub-national jurisdictions responsible for almost one fourth of global greenhouse gas emissions are putting a price on carbon. Together, these initiatives cover the equivalent of almost 6 gigatons of carbon dioxide, or about 12% of global emissions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Western Climate Initiative cap and trade mechanism is an important piece of British Columbia's plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 33% from 2007 levels by 2020, but it may impose a significant burden on certain industries of the economy. I follow a two-step analysis to first, better understand the impact of the cap over the short-term and to second, identify what options are available to the government to reduce the costs of transitioning without compromising environmental goals. I found that a number of industries covered by the cap are emissions intensive and trade exposed, and are vulnerable to emissions pricing schemes. While this is cause for concern, BC has the discretion to adopt specific design features within the WCI cap and trade that can smooth transition related costs. Careful design of the allocation and revenue-recycling feature can reduce distributional impacts and facilitate the transition to low-carbon.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transformation to a low carbon economy is a central tenet to any discussion on the solutions to the complex challenges of climate change and energy security. Despite advances in policy, carbon management and continuing development of clean technology, fundamental business transformation has not occurred because of multiple political, economic, social and organisational issues. Carbon Governance, Climate Change and Business Transformation is based on leading academic and industry input, and three international workshops focused on low carbon transformation in leading climate policy jurisdictions (Canada, USA and the UK) under the international Carbon Governance Project (CGP) banner. The book pulls insights from this innovative collaborative network to identify the policy combinations needed to create transformative change. It explores fundamental questions about how governments and the private sector conceptualize the problem of climate change, the conditions under which business transformation can genuinely take place and key policy and business innovations needed. Broadly, the book is based on emerging theories of multi-levelled, multi-actor carbon governance, and applies these ideas to the real world implications for tackling climate change through business transformation. Conceptually and empirically, this book stimulates both academic discussion and practical business models for low carbon transformation.

Download or read book Beyond the Carbon Tax written by Laura Isela Guzman Flores and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis proposes a policy framing, communication and implementation model for personal carbon trading in British Columbia. Personal carbon trading is a scheme under which all individuals are allocated a number of free carbon allowances forming a personal carbon budget. Persons whose carbon emissions are lower than their carbon budgets can sell their surplus to persons who have exceeded theirs. As distributed allowances are reduced annually, consumers are encouraged to modify their behaviour and/or adopt technologies in order not to exceed their carbon budget. Personal carbon trading and carbon taxes are both carbon pricing instruments that, using different policy framings, aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Comparative experiments in the United Kingdom tested the hypothesis that, due to economic, social and psychological drivers, personal carbon trading would have greater potential to deliver emission reductions than taxation alone. This thesis explores that hypothesis in the context of British Columbia's climate policy. It builds on an analysis of the BC carbon tax, international examples of carbon pricing instruments, and strategies for behavioural change such as social networking, loyalty management, apps development and gamification. Interviews were conducted with experts in financial services, energy efficiency, and the green economy, as well as with specialists in climate, health and taxation policy. They offered opinions on the potential of personal carbon trading to increase individuals' participation in carbon emission reductions in BC. Their input, together with a review of the theoretical literature and practical case studies, informed the proposed design of a personal carbon trading system for BC. The thesis concludes with policy recommendations for increasing individual engagement, carbon budgeting and collective action by linking personal carbon trading to social, financial and health incentives.
