Book excerpt: The world carbon market is growing at a staggering rate with trading volumes into the tens of billions of dollars and approaching a billion tonnes of carbon dioxide. The growth prospects for business are enormous and the potential positive impacts for greenhouse gas emission reductions, climate policy options, renewable energy investment, development projects and efficiency gains are increasingly apparent. A key part of the market in greenhouse gas emissions is the rapidly growing voluntary carbon market driven by companies, organizations and individuals committed to efficiency, profitability and rapid action on climate change. HSBC, Volvo, Avis, Ricoh and American Express are but a few of the many companies now offsetting their greenhouse gas emissions and becoming 'carbon neutral', fuelling an international voluntary carbon market that is growing exponentially. This groundbreaking business book, written in a fast-paced journalistic style, draws together all the key information on international voluntary carbon markets with commentary from leading practitioners and business people. The voluntary market is complex, fragmented and multi-layered, but it is beginning to consolidate around a few guiding practices and business models from which conclusions can be drawn about market direction and opportunities. The book covers all aspects of voluntary carbon markets around the world: what they are, how they work and, most critically, their business potential to help slow climate change. It is the indispensable guide for anyone seeking to understand voluntary carbon markets and capitalize on the opportunities they present for economic and environmental benefit. If you want to be ahead of the curve for the next big thing, you need this book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this timely book, Sven Rudolph and Elena Aydos take an interdisciplinary approach that combines sustainability economics, political economy, and legal concepts to answer two fundamental questions: How can carbon markets be designed to be effective, efficient and just at the same time? And how can the political barriers to sustainable carbon markets be overcome? The authors advance existing theoretical frameworks and examine empirical data from various real-life emissions trading schemes, identifying strategies and policy windows for implementing truly sustainable ETS.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As climate change has come to the fore as one of the most pressing issues for contemporary global politics much debate has arisen over appropriate policies and practices to mitigate and adapt to this problem. Current mainstream debates surrounding climate change mitigation revolve around the questions of: who is responsible for past emissions and how to quantify this; how to fairly allow for future emissions—particularly for the so-called ‘developing world’; and how to most efficiently reduce emissions. Such debates are fundamentally tied to Global North-South relations and issues of development. Climate governance policies such as the Kyoto Protocol’s flexibility mechanism, the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), and the burgeoning voluntary carbon market have sought to traverse these divisions by embedding carbon offsetting practices within a broader discourse of sustainable development in the Global South, resulting in an intersection between climate and development governance. Mainstream debate and policy decisions around the emerging climate-development policy interface give little attention to issues of historical and contemporary power inequalities; the cause and history of ‘underdevelopment’ and the neutrality of carbon offsetting are often assumed rather than critically questioned. Postcolonial theory has much to contribute to a critical study of carbon trading for sustainable development. Postcolonialism's emphasis on investigating the disparity in power relations between the Global South and North as a result of colonial processes helps to reveal embedded inequalities in dominant discourses and attempts to subvert them to make room for alternative and marginalised voices. This thesis uses postcolonial insights to critically examine the discourse of sustainable development that is supporting and sustaining carbon offsetting projects in the Global South. It does this by grounding an analysis of global climate-development governance practices in a series of case studies in Honduras and Mexico. A critical discourse analysis of the policies of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (World Bank) and a series of voluntary and compliance market carbon trading projects reveals that the global development-climate governance nexus assembles together actors, institutions and policies that uphold neoliberal principles supportive of the idea of development as economically and monetarily determined and of the ability of people to earn an income through access to free markets. Similarly, the discourse of sustainable development in carbon offsetting projects foregrounds and privileges a Eurocentric understanding of the environment that serves to manufacture legitimacy for carbon offsetting practices.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Asia and the Pacific is home to more than 60% of the world's population and 62% of the global economic output. But the region still faces enormous development challenges and with economic growth, it has become a major source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This has exposed Asia and the Pacific to the impacts of climate change, threatening to undo the development gains from economic prosperity over the past decades. This report reflects how Clean Development Mechanism projects supported by the Future Carbon Fund not only reduce GHG emissions but deliver social, environmental, and economic co-benefits contributing to sustainable development in the region. This report also presents qualitative and quantitative analysis of these co-benefits.

This book was released on 2015-11-05 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text traces the evolution of sustainable development and climate change from the time it emerged in international consultations and agreements. The three sections of the book, focusing on the framework, climate change and sustainable development, seek to cover the essentials of the politics of natural resource usage at the global level. The book explores the evolution of sustainable development and climate change within the framework of the United Nations, and the way the concept has been defined through intergovernmental meetings, agreements and consensus within the multilateral system. It also explores the best ways of reducing the risk to the planet while enabling societies to pursue sustainable development paths. The challenges call for a transformation of social systems to facilitate a broadly acceptable change. The book also explores the adoption of low-carbon models different from the high-carbon socio-technical systems and related social practices.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part green-lifestyle guide, part popular science, How Bad Are Bananas? is the first book to provide the information we need to make carbon-savvy purchases and informed lifestyle choices and to build carbon considerations into our everyday thinking. The book puts our decisions into perspective with entries for the big things (the World Cup, volcanic eruptions, the Iraq war) as well as the small (email, ironing, a glass of beer). And it covers the range from birth (the carbon footprint of having a child) to death (the carbon impact of cremation). Packed full of surprises — a plastic bag has the smallest footprint of any item listed, while a block of cheese is bad news — the book continuously informs, delights, and engages the reader. Solidly researched and referenced, the easily digestible figures, statistics, charts, and graphs (including a section on the carbon footprint of various foods) will encourage discussion and help people to make up their own minds about their consumer choices.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carbon markets are developing and expanding around the world, but how and to what extent is their design shaped by learning and interaction between them? How do these markets function and what is the role of design? Carrying out a ground-breaking analysis of their design and diffusion, this book covers all the major carbon market systems and processes around the world: the EU, RGGI, California, Tokyo, New Zealand, Australia, China, South Korea and Kazakhstan. It offers a systematic, in-depth discussion and comparison of the key design features in these systems with expert contributors exploring how, and to what extent, these features have been shaped by central policy diffusion mechanisms and domestic politics. By focussing on the specific design features of the instruments used, this volume makes important contributions to diffusion theory, highlighting how ETS diffusion processes more often have resulted in design divergence than convergence, and discussing the implications of this finding for the vision of linked systems in the post-Paris era. It will be of significant interest to a broad audience interested in the emergence, evolution, functioning and interaction of carbon markets.

Download or read book The Social Challenges and Opportunities of Low Carbon Development written by Johan Nordensvärd and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the social implications and challenges of low-carbon development. The argument of the book is that a broad understanding of low-carbon development is essential for mitigating climate change and enabling development in a carbon-constrained world, but there are risks that low-carbon development might come at a price that is both social and economic. These risks need to be carefully assessed and reduced. The main aim of the book is to explore, critically analyse and propose different ways of understanding low-carbon development from a social perspective in both developed and developing countries. The author uses concepts such as low-carbon development, social policy, sustainable development and environmental justice to understand the social implications of low-carbon development projects. The book first elaborates the need to understand the social issues and challenges of low-carbon development in both developed and developing countries. It then discusses five contemporary challenges of low-carbon development: the social consequences of Chinese hydropower dams in the Mekong region; the cost of the transition to renewable energies such as wind energy in Germany; the challenges of carbon offsetting in Brazil; the nexus of fuel-inefficient housing and fuel poverty in England; solar power for refugees in Africa. The book fills a crucial gap for researchers, postgraduates, practitioners and policy-makers in the fields of climate change, development and social policy. Johan Nordensvärd is a Lecturer in Social Policy at the University of Southampton, UK.
