      <description>Delaying national commitments to reach reduced greenhouse gas emissions will be more costly for national governments in the long run. Nonresident Senior Fellow Warwick McKibbin says the floundering global economy is a critical factor in what actions can be taken now.&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/BrookingsRSS/topics/ClimateAndEnergyEconomics/~4/-nZSO47xJ2c" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description>

      <title>U.S. Industry and Cap-and-Trade: Designing Provisions to Maintain Domestic Competitiveness and Mitigate Emissions Leakage</title>
      <link>http://webfeeds.brookings.edu/~r/BrookingsRSS/topics/ClimateAndEnergyEconomics/~3/tKVMn5pWfoI/10_cap_and_trade_emissions_competitiveness_fischer.aspx</link>
      <description>A number of climate policy observers and U.S. policymakers have expressed concerns about the implications of climate policy for the U.S. industrial base. In this paper, Carolyn Fischer and Richard Morgenstern show that specific concerns about industrial competitiveness and emissions leakage could be realistically addressed in the context of a cap-and-trade system without unduly distorting the incentives that are essential to realizing an economically efficient outcome.&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/BrookingsRSS/topics/ClimateAndEnergyEconomics/~4/tKVMn5pWfoI" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description>

In this paper, Adele Morris discusses the likely distributional implications of a U.S. cap-and-trade system and how policymakers could manage these implications by altering the way in which allowances or allowance revenues are distributed throughout the broader economy.&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/BrookingsRSS/topics/ClimateAndEnergyEconomics/~4/617XwEoWgGw" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description>

      <description>Crafting global policy to address climate change is a priority for leaders attending the G-20 Summit in Pittsburgh. Nonresident Senior Fellow Warwick McKibbin previews the talks, noting the complexities the leaders face in finding the common ground necessary to tackle this consuming issue.&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/BrookingsRSS/topics/ClimateAndEnergyEconomics/~4/DtVeizsqbCs" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description>

      <title>Market Oversight for Cap-and-Trade: Efficiently Regulating the Carbon Derivatives Market</title>

      <description>Craig Pirrong writes that current legislative attempts to regulate derivatives trading in the climate and energy context are severely misguided. While arguing that the ex post enforcement regime should be strengthened to deter price manipulation, he suggests that overly restrictive clearing and exchange requirements will dramatically increase the costs of managing carbon price risk.&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/BrookingsRSS/topics/ClimateAndEnergyEconomics/~4/W11QlHH8P7M" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description>

      <title>Emissions Targets in Cap-and-Trade: Choosing Reduction Goals Compatible with Global Climate Stabilization</title>
      <link>http://webfeeds.brookings.edu/~r/BrookingsRSS/topics/ClimateAndEnergyEconomics/~3/gcExpY9hfYQ/09_cap_and_trade_emissions_targets_mignone.aspx</link>
      <description>Binding greenhouse gas emissions targets are the backbone of any cap-and-trade system, but the appropriate stringency of domestic reductions remains an unresolved issue in US legislation. In this paper, Bryan Mignone shows how available scientific information could be coupled with a variety of judgments about climate risk and international burden-sharing to yield a plausible range of domestic cap-and-trade targets.&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/BrookingsRSS/topics/ClimateAndEnergyEconomics/~4/gcExpY9hfYQ" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description>

      <title>Cost Containment for Cap-and-Trade: Designing Effective Compliance Flexibility Mechanisms</title>

      <description>Concerns about the economic costs of climate policy and the potential for volatility in the future carbon market have led to a proliferation of possible mechanisms to mitigate these concerns. Bryan Mignone shows how a coherent "cost containment" policy could be constructed by considering two key substantive objectives – price stability and cost viability – and then tailoring policy instruments to meet these objectives.&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/BrookingsRSS/topics/ClimateAndEnergyEconomics/~4/IDGKJc4-c1E" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description>

      <title>A Copenhagen Collar: Achieving Comparable Effort Through Carbon Price Agreements</title>
      <link>http://webfeeds.brookings.edu/~r/BrookingsRSS/topics/ClimateAndEnergyEconomics/~3/wRmToD04hB8/08_carbon_morris.aspx</link>
      <description>The global financial crisis proves how unforeseen macroeconomic conditions can affect policies aimed at reducing and stabilizing greenhouse gas emissions. This paper outlines an example that shows that a price collar can have a negligible expected impact on the outcome that matters most for the climate—increasing emissions.&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/BrookingsRSS/topics/ClimateAndEnergyEconomics/~4/wRmToD04hB8" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description>

Bryan Mignone, Matthew Hurteau, Yihsu Chen and Brent Sohngen show how reversal risk associated with such instruments could be properly internalized in a crediting framework and how this framework itself could be used to manage prices in the future carbon market.&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/BrookingsRSS/topics/ClimateAndEnergyEconomics/~4/-C-2TkSLpXk" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description>

On September 25, one regional cap-and-trade program, involving ten Northeastern states, has already begun operation through an initial auctioning of carbon allowances. This poses many important issues of federalism, writes Barry Rabe, as the federal government begins to play catchup with states and will have to give thought to sorting out federal and state responsibilities.&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/BrookingsRSS/topics/ClimateAndEnergyEconomics/~4/MDvNTOL2uak" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description>

      <description>Following the release of the draft report of the Garnaut Climate Change Review in Australia, Warwick McKibbin was interviewed by Alan Kohler of ABC's "Inside Business," and discussed his views on the report and his own proposals for international climate change policies. Instead of Garnaut’s proposed emissions trading system, McKibbin advocates for a framework that includes clear, transparent, long-term goals with less uncertainty.&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/BrookingsRSS/topics/ClimateAndEnergyEconomics/~4/N7-lCyJ4u1M" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description>

      <title>Building on Kyoto: Towards a Realistic Global Climate Agreement and What Australia Should Do</title>

      <description>Event Information:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;July 03, 2008, 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;On July 3, 2008, the Australian National University hosted Warwick McKibbin for a presentation on Australia's role in the search for a sensible climate policy. This lecture draws on a new report that builds on Kyoto but which addresses the key elements needed to build a truly global regime. The lecture also outlines why a traditional cap and trade emission trading system as proposed by some is inadequate to deal with the uncertainty that underlies climate change and is not in Australia’s national interest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/BrookingsRSS/topics/ClimateAndEnergyEconomics/~4/gdRRbuOyHos" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description>
