Is a fair energy transition possible? Evidence from the French low-carbon strategy
Economic and social effectiveness of carbon pricing schemes to meet Brazilian NDC targets
Curbing GHG emissions while preserving economic growth is one of the main challenges that developing countries are facing to meet the Paris Agreement commitments. Brazil's NDC target aims to reduce economy-wide absolute levels of GHG emissions by 37% in 2025 and 43% in 2030, compared to 2005 emissions. In this paper, we compare command-and-control and carbon pricing policies to induce the Brazilian economy to meet its NDC targets. We focus on ana…
Structural Transformation Options of the Saudi Economy Under Constraint of Depressed World Oil Prices
We implement the hybrid (energy-economy) recursive-dynamic multisector IMA-CLIM model with important adaptations to Saudi macroeconomics. We design two scenarios reflecting both the Saudi Vision 2030 economic development program and Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) to greenhouse gas mitigation: Continuity of previous plans to expand energy-intensive activities under maintained energy-pricing policies, versus Transformation by economic div…
Accelerating the speed and scale of climate finance in the post-pandemic context
In this paper, we examine how to trigger a wave of low-carbon investments compatible with the well-below 2°C target of the Paris Agreement in the current post-pandemic context of increasing private and public debt. We argue that one major obstacle to catalysing global excess savings at sufficient scale and speed on climate mitigation, and to ‘greening’ economic recovery packages, lies in the up-front risks of low-carbon investment. We then explai…
Macroeconomic assessment of India’s development and mitigation pathways
Although a rapidly growing economy, India faces many challenges, including in meeting the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations. Moreover, post-2020 climate actions outlined in India’s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) under the Paris Agreement envision development along low-carbon emission pathways. With coal providing almost three-quarters of Indian electricity, achieving such targets will have wide-ranging implications for…
Achieving sustainable development in India along low carbon pathways
La fiscalité carbone au risque des enjeux d’équité
This paper aims at clearing up misunderstandings about the social impacts of carbon taxes, which proved to be a decisive obstacle to their further consideration in public debates. It highlights the gap between the cost of a carbon tax reform as it is spontaneously perceived by the taxpayers and the reality of its ultimate consequences. It shows that the real impact on households’ poverty and inequalities is not mechanically determined by the init…
La fiscalité carbone au risque des enjeux d'équité
Cet article vise à dissiper les malentendus sur le bilan social de taxes carbone, malentendus qui constituent un obstacle jusqu’ici dirimant à leur plus ample examen dans les débats publics. Il met en évidence l’écart entre le coût de la fiscalité carbone tel qu’il est spontanément perçu par les contribuables et la réalité de son coût ultime. Il montre que son impact réel sur la pauvreté et les inégalités n’est pas mécaniquement déterminé par le …
Interpreting Environmental Policy Cost Measures
Since the late 1980s, climate policy debates have been making extensive use of modelling results about the costs of meeting climate objectives. To what extent this use succeeded in rationalising discussions is not so obvious. From the Third Conference of the Parties (COP3) (Kyoto) to the semi-failure of
Instabilité et options d’encadrement du marché du CO2
Des facteurs technico-économiques, institutionnels et politiques alimentent l’incertitude des coûts de contrôle des émissions de gaz à effet de serre. L’étude du marché européen du carbone et de scénarios d’application des engagements de Kyoto suggère qu’il en résulte une grave menace pour la qualité des incitations et le renforcement de l’action internationale. Notre analyse des options de stabilisation des prix du CO2 plaide en faveur de l’adop…
Viable responses to the equity-responsibility dilemma
The Economics of a Lost Deal
This paper examines prospects for compromise between competing perspectives on four key climate change issues: costs, level of domestic action, environmental integrity, and developing world involvement. It focuses on the policy issues stemming from uncertainty about abatement costs. Based on extensive simulations of a model integration tool, SAP12 (Stochastic Assessment of Climate Policies, 12 models), the analysis considers options for fine-tuni…
Marché international du carbone et double dividende
Le propos de cet article est de vérifier dans quelle mesure l'existence d'un marché international de permis d'émission de gaz à effet de serre (GES) influe-t'elle sur les possibilités nationales de double dividende (environnemental et économique) par transfert de charge fiscale de l'emploi vers les émissions de GES. Les combinaisons proposées de systèmes nationaux de permis et de taxes - étudiées à l'aide d'un modèle d'équilibre général calculabl…
