Economic Instruments for Climate Change by Claude Henry and Laurence Tubiana
The 1997 Kyoto commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions are not enough to contend with the threats of climate change. Yet they already place such constraints on the European Union and the United States that they may well be renounced if they are not implemented with the greatest economic efficiency. This is only possible if instruments are mobilised to flexibly, but rigorously, implement these reductions at the lowest possible overall cost by more or less balancing out the different emitters' marginal reduction costs.
In this paper, we study the various instruments - especially emissions trading - addressed by the international negotiations and how they are interlinked. Since the developing countries will gradually rank among the leading emitting countries, it is vital that they play a fully-fledged part in the efficient implementation of the instruments. Yet such participation is only feasible if the conditions of equity in the initial permit distribution (i.e. before trading) are satisfied. These conditions were overlooked in Kyoto, but are a core issue in the current negotiations, especially for The Hague in November 2000. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
