Opis

A timely analysis of carbon pricing that contains important lessons for anyone concerned with the development of post-Copenhagen climate policy.

Recenzje

'Karsten Neuhoff makes an interesting case in showing that the failure to adopt a comprehensive climate agreement in Copenhagen may have been the result of some fundamental underlying changes. The Copenhagen Accord could therefore mark the beginning of a bottom-up approach in which domestic policy design based on carbon pricing as well as specific regulations can be supported through international co-operation. If his analysis proves right, the EU is in principle well equipped to such a change, but may have to rethink some elements of its international negotiation strategy accordingly.' Jos Delbeke, Director-General for Climate Action, European Commission
