This document discusses Canada's need to develop a coherent strategy to reduce carbon emissions and address climate change. It notes that while some provinces have introduced carbon pricing and other climate policies, the federal government has failed to implement a comprehensive plan. The document calls for innovative federal policies and an integrated approach to balancing energy demands with environmental imperatives. It argues that the 2020 emissions targets are no longer realistic and proposes refocusing efforts on a longer term climate policy framework integrated with a national energy strategy.
Alex wood Presentation - Continental Divide? Canadian and US Views on Energy ...Sustainable Prosperity
Canadian attitudes: Canadians overwhelmingly believe that climate change is serious and that all levels of government need to be involved in solutions, including using carbon pricing. Economic evidence also shows carbon pricing can have positive impacts. Three surveys show strong Canadian support for carbon pricing through cap-and-trade or carbon taxes. A policy brief found Canadian businesses also strongly support carbon pricing.
This webinar will review the various mechanisms agreed in the Kyoto Protocol with a particular focus on Clean Development Mechanism. The value at each stage of the CDM project will be explained, and market prices for carbon credits will be analysed.
In order to illustrate this type of project, real case studies carried out by Deuman will be discussed. Voluntary carbon credits will also be analysed.

OECD Presentation: Turning NDCs into investment plans: Way forward in countri...OECD Environment
The OECD has supported countries in Eastern Europe, the Caucasus and Central Asia (EECCA) since the 1990s to reconcile their environmental and economic goals. It is planning work in 2017-2018 on national green economy dialogues and strategies, green finance and investment, and integrating environmental and economic policies. Significant public climate finance of $3.3 billion per year is committed to the region, with the largest amounts going to the energy sector. However, a large financing gap remains to achieve countries' climate targets. The OECD will continue working with EECCA countries to strengthen climate policies, reform energy subsidies, facilitate private finance, and develop their climate finance readiness and project pipelines.
THE ROLE OF TRANSITION FINANCE FOR ACCELERATED CLIMATE MITIGATIONGrové Steyn
An ambitious just climate transaction for South Africa.
The proposal is for South Africa to leverage its ability to accelerate the decarbonisation of its coal-based power sector in return for a blended finance transaction to support the incumbent power utility, Eskom, and affected workers and communities during the accelerated transition. It is proposed that concessionary climate funders provide the first-loss foundation of the blended financial structure in order to crowd in larger amounts of de-risked commercial finance. This "transition finance" will be critical to overcome institutional path dependence and unlock the energy transition in South Africa. This is a model that could be replicated in other emerging economies that have difficulties with moving away from carbon intensive development trajectories.
Mark Jaccard SP SP Speaker Series: Climate Policy in Canada - Issues in Regio...Sustainable Prosperity
The document discusses two parts of Canadian climate policy and regional impacts. Part I examines how the government could address perceptions of regional unfairness if it wants to reduce GHG emissions. It finds that an intensity-based cap and trade system or an absolute cap and trade system with revenue recycling to cut personal and corporate taxes could minimize regional economic impacts. Part II discusses options for concerned citizens if the government does not want to reduce emissions.
This document compares the use of market-based instruments (MBIs) for environmental policy in China and Brazil. Both countries face rising environmental problems from rapid economic growth. China is the world's largest emitter of greenhouse gases due to its reliance on coal and lack of early environmental oversight. It has implemented subsidies, restrictions on polluting industries, tax incentives and differential electricity pricing to encourage cleaner technologies and reduce emissions. Brazil uses credit/tax incentives and cost-recovery tariffs for water/sanitation. Both countries have made progress with MBIs but need to strengthen implementation and enforcement. China's carbon emissions continue to rise rapidly and it has further to go to match environmental policies of more developed nations.

1. The document discusses how XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language) is being adopted by governments around the world to improve transparency and reduce costs of financial reporting.
2. Key examples discussed include the Standard Business Reporting initiative in Australia, bills in the US Congress to require federal agencies to use XBRL, and the European Commission's support for using XBRL to interconnect business registers across Europe.
3. The benefits of XBRL for governments include making financial data more accessible, comparable, and able to be automatically processed and analyzed. This allows both businesses and governments to save money on reporting and handling financial information.
Snam is acquiring a 33% stake in De Nora, a global leader in sustainable technologies, for approximately €0.4 billion. De Nora's electrodes technology complements Snam's hydrogen strategy, and the company is well-positioned in the fast-growing electrolyzer market. The investment also provides exposure to De Nora's water business and innovation capabilities. The partnership could enable cross-selling opportunities and support Snam's energy transition goals.
The document discusses the World Bank's strategic framework for addressing climate change and development. It aims to enable the WBG to support sustainable development and poverty reduction as climate risks and opportunities arise. Key principles include working in partnerships guided by the UNFCCC process and taking country-led, tailored approaches. The WBG will provide knowledge, mobilize resources, and support regional and country climate strategies and plans through financing climate change mitigation and adaptation. Carbon markets can play a central role in mobilizing private sector finance for low carbon investments in developing countries.
This document discusses economic instruments for ecosystem services in Canada. It summarizes that Sustainable Prosperity is a think tank promoting market-based instruments to achieve economic and environmental goals. It also outlines some policy options for ecosystem services, including command and control regulation, economic instruments like taxes and payments for ecosystem services, and examples of these instruments being used in Canada for issues like water pollution and biodiversity conservation.
This document summarizes a transition to low-emission development. It discusses the need to limit global temperature rise to 2°C by stabilizing carbon dioxide equivalent concentrations at 450 ppm and cutting emissions 50% by 2050. It also notes that the world population is expected to reach 9 billion by 2050, placing greater pressure on resources. The EU has committed to reducing emissions 20-30% below 1990 levels by 2020 through various policy instruments and legislation. Developing low-emission development strategies and nationally appropriate mitigation actions will be important for achieving long-term sustainable development goals.
Fostering a Regional Green Economy: Municipal Roles and Others’ Responsibilit...Sustainable Prosperity
Stephanie Cairns, Managing Director, Sustainable Communities of Sustainable Prosperity on municipal roles and others' responsibilities on fostering a regional green economy. Presentation given at the Clean Air Council Green Economy Summit.
This document discusses carbon credits and carbon banking. It begins by defining carbon credits as representing one ton of carbon. It then explains how carbon credits were created to control greenhouse gas emissions and how they work as part of an emissions trading system. It discusses the key concepts and mechanisms behind carbon credits, including additionality, criticism of the system, and how carbon credits can benefit countries and companies.
The document summarizes key elements of the proposed American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009, including establishing a cap-and-trade program to reduce US greenhouse gas emissions to 83% below 2005 levels by 2050. It would cover major emissions sources and establish emissions caps and a carbon market to trade allowances. Revenues would fund energy efficiency, clean energy, and international programs while protecting industries and consumers. The bill aims to spur investment in clean energy technologies through a combination of mandates, incentives and market-based mechanisms.
The Kyoto Protocol established legally binding commitments for 38 countries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions between 2008-2012. Carbon trading allows countries that emit less than their emissions cap to sell excess allowances to countries that exceed their cap. Countries can also invest in emission reduction projects in other countries and earn saleable credits. While carbon trading incentivizes reducing emissions and green technology, it has disadvantages like allowing the right to pollute and not guaranteeing real emission reductions globally. Stricter caps over time could help address climate change.

Climate Change: Via Copenhagen, Cancun, Bangkok on the road to DurbanUNDP Eurasia
Climate Change is one of the greatest challenges of our time. Through conferences in Copenhagen, Cancun, and Bangkok, progress has been made towards reaching a global agreement to reduce emissions and mitigate climate change. Copenhagen established political commitments to reduce emissions but no binding agreement. Cancun resulted in a historic set of decisions establishing frameworks for mitigation, adaptation, finance, and technology transfer. Upcoming talks in Durban aim to resolve key issues under the Kyoto Protocol and deliver on the Cancun Agreements to ensure institutions are in place by 2012.
The document discusses various aspects of carbon trading and offsets, including:
1) Two types of carbon trading - exchange traded and over-the-counter. India has over 25% of approved CDM projects globally.
2) Criticisms of carbon trading include that some emission reductions are exaggerated, profits go to middlemen, and the system is too complex to monitor and control. A carbon tax may be a better approach.
3) The document outlines domestic challenges and opportunities for India in low carbon growth and carbon financing, and discusses some perspectives on the Copenhagen Accord.
This document discusses policy options for transitioning to a low-carbon economy by 2050. It explores sustaining economic growth while transforming energy production and consumption. The presentation builds on previous publications by identifying policy ideas without prescribing specific approaches. It discusses challenges like uncertain development pathways and high/low carbon scenarios. Milestones by 2025 include efficiency gains, commercializing carbon capture and storage, renewable deployment, and vehicle efficiency. National policy frameworks and international cooperation on technology and emissions management can help achieve long-term climate goals.
The document criticizes approaches to climate change that rely on market-based solutions, carbon trading, and funding from institutions like the World Bank. It argues for grassroots-led solutions focused on social justice, sustainable production and consumption, and shifting away from capitalist and neoliberal systems toward planned economies based on human needs. Addressing climate change requires bold action from both individuals and governments, not passive waiting or policies that allow corporations to profit from the crisis.
Climate Change and Development - Updates from COP18UNDP Eurasia
The document discusses several topics related to climate change including:
1. The need to cut global CO2 emissions in half by 2050 to keep warming below 2 degrees Celsius.
2. The challenges posed by a growing world population expected to reach 9 billion by 2050, which will place greater pressure on resource systems.
3. The importance of transitioning to a green economy through significant emissions mitigation and generating funding for climate actions.
The document discusses climate change, carbon markets, and opportunities for corporations. It notes that while climate change poses a major challenge, carbon markets under the Kyoto Protocol provide opportunities for cost-effective emissions reductions. Most large Indian corporations are currently unprepared to engage with carbon markets and view climate change as a non-strategic issue. The document recommends that corporations view carbon as a strategic opportunity, build internal capacity on carbon issues, and lobby for supportive policies and regulations to harness benefits from carbon markets.
11 years after the Kyoto Protocol was signed—only
to be consigned to irrelevance over the subsequent decade—nations would negotiate post-2012 action.
The realities of climate change are clearer than ever,
and the cost of action is mounting. Rich countries,
historically responsible for climate change, are
proposing new mechanisms to share the burden.
Leading developing countries such as India and
China need to negotiate hard as well and make
a big push for renewables

Financing the World's Forests: integrating markets and stakeholdersE Rivilla
Fourth speaker 'Options for REDD and reducing the financial gap' Jessica Brown (Overseas Development Institute)
3rd August 2009 - Imperial College (CEP)
The document discusses mechanisms for utilizing carbon finance to support clean energy development projects. It describes carbon markets, which involve trading carbon offsets created by emissions-reducing projects. It also describes carbon finance, which provides direct grants and loans to clean energy projects. Major sources of carbon finance include the World Bank carbon funds, future Green Climate Fund, and Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions. The document concludes that while carbon prices will remain low, carbon finance represents a big opportunity for least developed countries like Myanmar to attract investment for clean energy and reduce emissions.
The document discusses the scale of changes needed to limit global warming to 450 parts per million of CO2, including improving energy efficiency, increasing renewable energy sources, deploying carbon capture and storage technologies, and increasing nuclear power. It emphasizes that a coordinated global policy approach is required, including government policies to support low-carbon technologies through all stages from research to large-scale demonstration and deployment. Cap-and-trade systems and international cooperation on projects are presented as important policy mechanisms.

El Plan Nacional de Competencias Digitales persigue dar respuesta a retos como el riesgo de exclusión digital de colectivos, la brecha de género en el acceso a las competencias digitales, falta de digitalización en el entorno educativo y formativo, la escasez de especialistas TIC y el desajuste entre oferta y demanda de capacidades.
ACTIVA Industria 4.0 es un programa de asesoramiento especializado y personalizado, realizado por consultoras acreditadas y con experiencia en implantación de proyectos de Industria 4.0 que se realiza con la metodología desarrollada por la Secretaría General de Industria y de la PYME. Este programa permite a las empresas disponer de un diagnóstico de situación y de un plan de transformación que identifique los habilitadores digitales necesarios en ese proceso de transformación y establezca la hoja de ruta para su implantación. El asesoramiento se complementa con talleres demostrativos sobre tecnologías habilitadoras.
