29 Market & Financial Mechanisms Set-up
The Overall Strategy on Climate Change Mitigation & Adaptation Lobby the government to actively participate in global treaty and set promising carbon mitigation and renewable energy target and the climate change legislation Climate Legislation Advise government setting up carbon tax and carbon market based on historical and international experiences, make it feasible and functional; boost the Low Carbon Investment and Banking Market & Financial Mechanisms Set-up Four steps to show the role Greenpeace could play in order to drive for green technology deployment and behavioral change, in order to meet the 2C target. Lobbying the government in joining global treaty and set promising carbon reduction goal. (e.g. China had already set a goal of carbon intensity reduction by 40-45% by 2020) With the signature of international agreement, GP shall also use its international platform to help emerging economies to build up its own cap-and-trade system, in order to meet the reduction goal for individual countries, With the cap set up, GP can help the government to allocate the emission allowances in various sectors in a transparent and fair way. Very importantly, the number of allowances in the market shall be scrutinized, since more allowances than needed will directly lead to the crash of carbon market again. And in the meantime, try to help government to apply carbon tax, which can be one very effective way to increase the carbon price. With the risen carbon price, it will make fossil fuel with large amount of carbon emission not economically viable at all, so people would be more willingly to turn to renewables. In the meantime, with high carbon and fuel price, people will automatically turn to behavioral change, and this will be very positive influence of overall climate change battle. With high carbon price, advocate renewable and clean tech as better alternative, as well as reduction in carbon intensive industries e.g. coal Green Tech Deployment & Carbon Emission Reduction Page 29
