The document discusses the EU's roadmap for low carbon growth by 2050 and provides both positive and skeptical observations. Positively, the roadmap shows that a transition to a low carbon economy is feasible with appropriate investments in technologies and could spur economic growth. However, skepticism is raised that priorities may remain on economic growth alone, some stakeholders will lose out in the transition, and overcoming inertia in policies, institutions, and behaviors will be challenging. Determinants of behavior are not fully covered and attracting sufficient capital remains difficult.
The new working paper “The Empirics of Enabling Investment and Innovation in Renewable Energy” provides insights on the key policy drivers and barriers to investment and innovation in renewable power in OECD and G20 countries. Based on econometric analysis, it assesses the impacts of climate mitigation policies and the quality of the investment environment on both investment and patenting activity in renewable-power generation since 2000. The analysis also assesses how the investment environment and related policy misalignments influence the effect of climate mitigation policies in encouraging renewables investment and innovation.

Goals:
- Assess which migration related issues are discussed and when these come about;
- Gain insight into how a given national and/or regional media landscape characteristically frames migration;
- Generate numerical values to describe topics discussed, framing and the possible overall tone or opinion expressed;
- Enable multi-national comparative perspective based on standardized methodological approach.

1. Some observations and comments on EU’s roadmap for low carbon growth in 2050 Remko Ybema
2. Observation: messages of hope A road to a low carbon economy is within reach A consistent picture of the portfolio of low-carbon technologies Substantial upfront cost, but these will be largely paid back Investments will spur economic growth and create jobs Substantial co-benefits Tested under different technical conditions 2 23-3-2011
3. It shows what is needed…. A major increase in capital investments (270 bill. euro) The EU ETS will be critical to drive a wide range of technologies Smart financing schemes Public private financing mechanisms Additional RD&D investments (50 bill euro in 10 years) 3 23-3-2011
4. But….. Nowadays economy seems the only priority Conflicting stakes: some will lose… Inertia: not only physical inertia, also in policy processes, coordination, institutions, mindsets, behaviour…. Price of CO2 is low Behavioural issues matter Often difficult to attract capital …and how to divide upfront cost? 4 23-3-2011
5. One of the reasons to beoptimistic: investments in renewables 5 In 2010: 243 billion dollar [REN21, 2010] 23-3-2011
7. Determinants of behaviour not covered Needs satisfaction is leading, not energy considerations Risk aversion prevents many to change Only a small correlation between awareness and easy/symbolic green behaviour Denial Blame others Blame the circumstances Change opinion
8. Conclusions EU roadmap: messages of hope It shows what is needed, but partially Several elements are missing, including them makes the challenge larger
