WHY “Climate markets”

3. MARKETS ARE KEY TO ADDRESS CLIMATE CHALLENGES
COST SAVINGS
Market efficiencies reduce the costs of low carbon growth
International cooperation through carbon markets can reduce the global cost of implementing NDCs by USD115 billion by 2030 and USD2 to 4 trillion by 2050 *
RESOURCE MOBILIZATION
Crowd-in public and private capital and leverage limited concessional resources
$1 invested in emission reductions under the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) benefitted $4.60 in underlying low carbon investment **
Political alignment
*WBG “State and Trends of Carbon Pricing 2016; TIAM-Grantham
** WBG “State and Trends of the Carbon Market 2010” report

4. Paris – opportunity for CLIMATE markets
Increasingly ambitious goals for mitigation action under NDCs converge with national development priorities
Additional financing is needed for NDC implementation
Markets are an effective means to deploy and mobilize finance and help countries increase their ambition

5. DEFINING “Climate markets”2
DEFINING “Climate markets”

6. DEFINING “Climate markets”
Systems of exchange for climate assets
Assets to cover mitigation and/or adaptation
Mitigation outcomes (MOs) – could include both tCO2e and other metrics
Adaptation outcomes – climate markets should eventually address adaptation benefits
Inclusive of all sectors (e.g., energy, urban, forestry, etc.)
Connecting domestic and/or international markets
*Non-market approaches (like some carbon pricing mechanisms) are related to markets. While not covered directly by this strategy, they are complementary and in many circumstances their components can also contribute to the creation and use of markets.

7. Systems of Exchange Supply Demand Infrastructure Assets
Policy & Regulation
Infrastructure
Enforcement of national goals within industries/sectors
Accounting
Trading & Settlement
Finance
Buyers
Bonds & guarantees
Trust funds
Platforms, registries, regulatory framework for transfers

DEMAND

9. MOVE NDCs to POLICIES AND REGULATIONS
Domestic climate markets are being put in place (coupled or not with taxation) and the trend is continuous growth
Country and Regional approaches (Pacific Alliance)
THESE ARE TWO EXAMPLES. WHAT DO THEY SHOW:
Bottom-up, combined with the collaboration and linking/networking markets in mind
MOVE FROM EUROPE CENTERED TO MICs
HOWEVER: IT WILL REQUIRE MASSIVE (TENS OF BILLIONS) OF INVESTMENT TO BUILD CAPACITY and building the networking of markets

10. FINANCING DEVELOP AND TEST FINANCIAL PRODUCTS (risk mitigation)
Bonds, guarantees, mezzanine finance
INVEST 4 CLIMATE
Build partnership
Deal structuring
Knowledge sharing
LINK CLIMATE FINANCE WITH MARKETS
Support well-designed and balanced
domestic policies and market creation
Climate finance can be used more strategically to support well-designed and balanced domestic policies and market creation
Through cost efficiency and the ability to attract and use private capital, markets will eventually allow climate finance to be used for different purposes
Climate markets will be designed with stronger environmental integrity than what we saw in the past and sufficient stability and predictability for private and public investors
MOVE NDCs goals TO POLICY AND REGULATIONS in countries/regions
- In ASIA PACIFIC:
SINGAPORE: carbon tax;
CHINA: ETS going live soon;
Korea, NZ, Australia Thailand – large potential to network
- In the AMERICAS:
We saw last week in Paris the launch of the Carbon Pricing in the Americas cooperative framework;
Leaders of Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, México, California and Washington states, and 5 provinces of Canada
Among other things, commit to collaborate towards strengthening systems MRV of GHG with the ultimate goal of setting the necessary foundations to link their carbon markets;
THESE ARE TWO EXAMPLES. WHAT DO THEY SHOW:
Bottom-up, combined with the collaboration and linking/networking markets in mind
MOVE FROM EUROPE CENTERED TO MICs
HOWEVER: IT WILL REQUIRE MASSIVE (TENS OF BILLIONS) OF INVESTMENT TO BUILD CAPACITY and building the networking of markets
