Policy options and recommendations José Palacín Chief, Innovative Policies Development UNECE Minsk, 19 June 2014

2 Where to start? Eco-innovation concerns multiple actors and objectives Greening the economy is a large-scale transformation Priority- setting with the involvement of multiple stakeholders Broad consensus on the actions that need to be taken

An integrated approach: barriers and benefits Barriers: Incentives not adapted to cross-sectorial work Multi-sectoral tools are less developed Legal framework not adapted to inter-sectoral cooperation Benefits: Balanced decision-making, reducing conflicts between policy fields Increase the capacity to meet complex goals Improve understanding of policies in other sectors Address financial constraints

4 Policy as partnership Business sector as source of innovations Public sector creates incentives and removes obstacles for green innovations (different types of market failures; power of incumbents) The aim of policies is to influence the behavior of the business sector (and households) Most instruments rely on some form of collaboration between the public and the business sector

5 Eco-innovation policy mix Creation of clear and stable market signals (carbon pricing) Public investment in basic research Support for private investment in eco-innovation Support for general purpose technologies Fostering the growth of new companies Facilitates the adoption of green innovation by SMEs Fostering diffusion of green technologies Strengthening markets for eco-innovation Consumer policy and education to encourage uptaking green innovations

How to create incentives for eco-innovation? Set realistic targets (short-,medium and long-term) for expected environmental performance Avoid unanticipated large changes in policy parameters Define a predictable policy regime: instability creates investor uncertainty and leads to postponement of investments in innovative activities

The importance of flexibility Focus on environmental outcomes Firms should be allowed to identify the best way to meet environmental objectives Technology-neutrality BUT… Some technologies or solutions may have been demonstrated elsewhere Catching-up countries have a latecomer advantage Some technologies may be seen as having larger potential but also large initial barriers Support may reflect natural endowments

8 Recommendations Framework conditions Four key areas: Implementation of commercial and financial laws (IP, PPP) Human capital formation (including in the public sector) Competition (as a driver of innovation) Financial markets

9 Recommendations Innovation governance Continue efforts to establish a coherent NIS Green growth and eco-innovation as part of a general innovation/development strategy Create structures for the discussion on green technologies among stakeholders Pay attention to the need for coordination

10 Recommendations R&D spending Green growth and eco-innovation are particularly research intensive: Allocate public funding to research in priority areas Promote private expenditures through incentives Use actively international cooperation – including for funding Support vocational training programmes

11 Recommendations Demand for eco-innovation Develop green public procurement mechanisms Ensure that it is simple, so SMEs can compete Introduce modern energy-efficiency standards, building codes and infrastructure resilience parameters Develop efforts to ensure that the prices of natural resources reflect their cost (protecting vulnerable people when necessary).

12 Recommendations Develop collaboration and partnerships Between policymakers from different fields Between different stakeholders

13 Recommendations Facilitate diffusion of innovation through linkages: The effective adaptation to climate change will depend largely on the development and diffusion of innovative and environmentally sound technologies Knowledge is not useful if not widely applied Double policy dimension: scope of application and pace of diffusion Develop a life-cycle approach Create organizational structures to support eco-innovation, such as technology business incubators and technology transfer offices Set up incentives that encourage cooperation between stakeholders Encourage relations between FDI and local firms

14 Recommendations Increase available financing instruments for eco-innovation: Increase public financing, including grant schemes and other forms of support at the pre-commercialization phase Facilitate the creation of project-based consortia bringing together industry and science/different types of firms Explore the possibility of using public-private partnership to finance new infrastructure Exploit fully the financial possibilities opened by international cooperation Support the development of specialized financial intermediaries

15 A map into the future Policy learning as part of the cycle of policymaking - evaluation is complicated in the presence of multiple objectives International exchange of experiences – but national specificities should be taken into account Eco-innovation roadmaps can provide guidance
