Carbon finance 2010-20: driving investment flows

Below is a link to a paper written by Rupert Edwards, Head of Research and Market Analysis, as part of a contribution to discussions in a number of fora including the Catalyst Project finance working group, IIGCC and OECD Roundtable on Sustainable Development sectoral mechanisms workshop. It explores: 

  • The extent to which the carbon market might contribute to driving investment flows beyond Annex 1 offset needs prior to emerging economy caps in 2020
  • The interaction of a price for the GHG externality with other investment incentives
  • The problems of relying on deeper reduction targets in developed countries to create demand, including carbon price volatility with restricted centres of demand
  • The Global Climate Change Fund’s role in establishing a supplemental source of demand for emission reduction credits in order to drive investment flows
  • Supply and the transformation of CDM
  • The relationship of a Global Climate Change Fund to bi-lateral approaches
