    Carbon pricing design: Effectiveness, efficiency and feasibility - An investment perspective

    Carbon pricing helps countries steer their economies towards and along a carbon-neutral growth path. This paper considers how the design of carbon pricing instruments affects their effectiveness, efficiency and feasibility. Design choices matter both for taxes and Emissions Trading Systems (ETSs). Considering the role of carbon price stability for clean investment, the paper shows how volatile carbon prices can cause risk-averse investors to forego clean investment that they would have undertaken with more stable prices. The paper then evaluates the effectiveness and efficiency of policy instruments to stabilise carbon prices in ETSs, which tend to produce more volatile carbon prices than taxes. The paper analyses the auction reserve price in California, the carbon price support in the UK, and the market stability reserve in the EU ETS. Considering feasibility, the paper discusses the tax (or emissions) base, how revenue use can affect support from households and firms, and administrative choices.

    Decarbonising Urban Mobility with Land Use and Transport Policies - The Case of Auckland, New Zealand

    The report presents an in-depth analysis of various policies that aim to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions of urban transport. Decarbonising transport lies at the core of efforts to mitigate climate change and has close links to urban sustainability and housing affordability. The report identifies the drivers of rising emissions in the urban transport sector and offers pathways to reduce them through a combination of transport and land use policies. The analysis yields a holistic welfare evaluation of these policies, assessing them according to their environmental effectiveness, their economic efficiency and their impact on fiscal balance and housing affordability. The report concludes that significant reductions in emissions from urban transport can be achieved through a careful alignment of transport policies designed to promote the use of public transit and electric vehicles, and land use policies, which foster a more compact urban form. The study is based on the case of Auckland, New Zealand but the lessons drawn are relevant for institutions and governments working on issues relating to urban sustainability, transport, housing and climate change mitigation.

    Blog: Déja vu all over again... Or is it? Learning from the past to green the COVID-19 recovery

    As governments rush to commit vast sums of money to respond to the unprecedented COVID-19 crisis, there are growing calls to “green” these recovery packages. In a way, it’s like déjà vu all over again, to borrow a phrase from baseball legend Yogi Berra, reminiscent of similar calls in the wake of the global financial crisis of 2007-08.

    Je suis sûr que beaucoup d’entre vous ont récemment vécu la même expérience que moi. Je suis allé à la pharmacie au tout début de la pandémie et, avant d’ouvrir la bouche, le pharmacien a dit "nous n'avons plus de masques et de gel hydro-alcoolique". J'avais une prescription de médicaments contre les allergies, que j'ai heureusement pu remplir...

    Blog : Autonomiser les femmes en tant qu'entrepreneurs en énergie propre

    Les femmes représentent environ 32% de l'emploi total dans le secteur des énergies renouvelables, contre 22% dans le secteur plus du pétrole et du gaz. D'une part, cela nous indique que les femmes sont généralement sous-représentées dans le secteur de l'énergie dans son ensemble, mais d'autre part, cela montre que les énergies renouvelables, en tant que secteur plus jeune et plus dynamique, sont une opportunité de changement.
