Book Synopsis Carbon Markets in a Climate-Changing Capitalism by : Gareth Bryant
Download or read book Carbon Markets in a Climate-Changing Capitalism written by Gareth Bryant and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2019-02-21 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The promise of harnessing market forces to combat climate change has been unsettled by low carbon prices, financial losses, and ongoing controversies in global carbon markets. And yet governments around the world remain committed to market-based solutions to bring down greenhouse gas emissions. This book discusses what went wrong with the marketisation of climate change and what this means for the future of action on climate change. The book explores the co-production of capitalism and climate change by developing new understandings of relationships between the appropriation, commodification and capitalisation of nature. The book reveals contradictions in carbon markets for addressing climate change as a socio-ecological, economic and political crisis, and points towards more targeted and democratic policies to combat climate change. This book will appeal to students, researchers, policy makers and campaigners who are interested in climate change and climate policy, and the political economy of capitalism and the environment.
Book Synopsis Demand in a Fragmented Global Carbon Market by : Sampo Seppänen
Download or read book Demand in a Fragmented Global Carbon Market written by Sampo Seppänen and published by Nordic Council of Ministers. This book was released on 2013-03-06 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The global carbon market currently faces a deep demand crisis. The consequent price fall reduces the incentive to make low-carbon investments and thus increases the risk of locking in carbon-intensive infrastructure. The global carbon market relies on ambitious climate policy and consists of a mosaic of different schemes. Despite the current lack of ambitious global climate policy, various market-based approaches are emerging around the world, indicating increasing scope and fragmentation of the carbon markets. This report, conducted by GreenStream together with Climate Focus, analyses the status and outlook of global carbon markets and identifies measures and circumstances how new demand for carbon credits could be created to strengthen global efforts to limit the global average temperature rise to 2êC, taking into account the trend towards fragmentation of carbon markets.
Book Synopsis Global Carbon Trading by : Mark Lazarowicz
Download or read book Global Carbon Trading written by Mark Lazarowicz and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Global Carbon Trading report was commissioned by the Prime Minister to examine the role of cap and trade systems internationally and the main challenges that will be faced as they develop. There is now overwhelming evidence that climate change is happening more rapidly than scientists had predicted and the declaration was made at the G8 summit in July 2009 to reduce emissions and limit the global temperature rise to below 2 degree C. Global carbon trading is an important tool in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This report delivers an important contribution to tackling greenhouse gas emissions. It examines the strengths and limitations of current carbon trading systems and sets out a strategic approach to the development of global carbon trading over the coming years.The aims of this report fall into four broad categories: to provide a balanced assessment of evidence for the benefits and limitations of cap and trade; to set out a long-term framework for cap and trade systems; to provide a roadmap for expanding and linking cap and trade systems in developed countries and intermediary systems In developing countries; to assess the governance and institutional requirements of a global carbon trading system.
Book Synopsis Global Carbon Pricing by : Peter Cramton
Download or read book Global Carbon Pricing written by Peter Cramton and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2017-06-16 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why the traditional “pledge and review” climate agreements have failed, and how carbon pricing, based on trust and reciprocity, could succeed. After twenty-five years of failure, climate negotiations continue to use a “pledge and review” approach: countries pledge (almost anything), subject to (unenforced) review. This approach ignores everything we know about human cooperation. In this book, leading economists describe an alternate model for climate agreements, drawing on the work of the late Nobel laureate Elinor Ostrom and others. They show that a “common commitment” scheme is more effective than an “individual commitment” scheme; the latter depends on altruism while the former involves reciprocity (“we will if you will”). The contributors propose that global carbon pricing is the best candidate for a reciprocal common commitment in climate negotiations. Each country would commit to placing charges on carbon emissions sufficient to match an agreed global price formula. The contributors show that carbon pricing would facilitate negotiations and enforcement, improve efficiency and flexibility, and make other climate policies more effective. Additionally, they analyze the failings of the 2015 Paris climate conference. Contributors Richard N.

Book Synopsis Voluntary Carbon Markets by : Ricardo Bayon
Download or read book Voluntary Carbon Markets written by Ricardo Bayon and published by Earthscan. This book was released on 2012 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Book Synopsis REDD credits in a global carbon market by : Arild Angelsen
Download or read book REDD credits in a global carbon market written by Arild Angelsen and published by Nordic Council of Ministers. This book was released on 2014-09-17 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can REDD credits be included in a future global carbon market, and what are the impacts of inclusion? We analyze ten different scenarios through 2020, varying the global emission caps and the REDD rules. An inclusion of REDD credits without any adjustments in the global cap will lower carbon prices significantly and cause crowding out. The cap must move towards the 2 degrees climate target if REDD inclusion is to maintain high carbon prices and strong incentives for emissions reductions in other sectors. At the same time, reaching the 2 degree target without full REDD inclusion will increase global mitigation costs by more than 50%.

Book Synopsis Towards an Emissions Trading System in Mexico: Rationale, Design and Connections with the Global Climate Agenda by : Simone Lucatello
Download or read book Towards an Emissions Trading System in Mexico: Rationale, Design and Connections with the Global Climate Agenda written by Simone Lucatello and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-12-16 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Open Access book provides detailed information about the incoming Mexican Emissions Trading System, including an analysis on why the system was implemented, how the system was designed, how it operates, how it could work, and how it could be strengthened by 2023 when it will be formally launched. This document is aimed at those who want to understand how an ETS can operate in an emerging economy. Although it has been written for experts and non-experts, this book does not provide the underlying theory of market-based instruments and emissions trading systems in general. The book can be read from start to finish, but can also be used as a reference for specific components of regional ETSs. The book draws upon a meticulous study of background documents and fieldwork from different authors to tell the story of how a Mexican ETS, the first of its kind in Latin America, can be set in the country. The emissions trading system cover many greenhouse gas emissions and has been hailed as one of the cornerstones of the Mexican climate policy. The book also examines and explains how the ETS is designed and implemented.
Book Synopsis Carbon Coalitions by : Jonas Meckling
Download or read book Carbon Coalitions written by Jonas Meckling and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meckling explains how a transnational coalition of firms and a few market-oriented environmental groups actively promoted international emissions trading as a compromise policy solution in a situation of political stalemate. The coalition sidelined not only environmental groups that favored taxation and command-and-control regulation but also business interests that rejected any emissions controls. Considering the sources of business influence, Meckling emphasizes the importance of political opportunities (policy crises and norms), coalition resources (funding and legitimacy,) and political strategy (mobilizing state allies and multilevel advocacy).

Book Synopsis Governing Carbon Markets with Distributed Ledger Technology by : Alastair Marke
Download or read book Governing Carbon Markets with Distributed Ledger Technology written by Alastair Marke and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-08-25 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carbon markets involve complex governance challenges, such as ensuring transparency of emissions, facilitating as well as recording transactions, overseeing market activity and preventing abuse. Conventionally, these have been addressed with a combination of regulatory, procedural and technical structures that impose significant burdens on market participants and administrators while remaining vulnerable to system shocks and illicit practices. Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) has the potential to address these problems. This volume offers the first book-length exploration of how carbon markets can be governed using DLT, offering conceptual and theoretical analysis, practical case studies, and a roadmap for implementation of a DLT-based architecture in major existing and emerging carbon markets. It surveys existing expertise on distributed ledger technology, provides progress updates from industry professionals, and shows how this technology could offer a cost-effective and sustainable solution to double-counting and other governance concerns identified as major challenges in the implementation of carbon markets.
