First Name: Jim Last Name: Stack Email Address: [email protected] Affiliation: Subject: ZEV vehicles Comment: The only true ZEV vehicles are pure electric that chanrge on renewables Today 96% of the hydrogen is made from fossil fuels. This can be improved on but will take a long time. Today we already have very good Electric Vehicles liek the RAV4 with NiMH batteries that have lasted over 100,000 miles.

I own two other vehicles FORD FOCUS and FORD Crown Vic. I my OKA NEV could go 35 MPH I would drive it at least twice as much as I currently do, and I would feel much safer doing so. 25 MPH top speed for NEV seriously limits its use and practicality for every day commuting.

  • A EUROPEAN WAY of REACHING SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT - the Future of Emission Trading
    FACULTY OF LAW Stockholm University A EUROPEAN WAY OF REACHING SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT - The Future of Emission Trading Anna Gjersvold Thesis in Environmental Law, 30 HE credits Examiner: Said Mahmoudi Stockholm, Autumn term 2015 Abstract The essay concern the use of emission trading of carbon dioxide allowances in a global context, focusing on both the use within the EU and the use on a global level, mainly under the Kyoto Protocol. Emission trading is of interest at the moment largely due to the enhanced global efforts trying to be created through the Paris Agreement, furthering the global efforts. The method used in the essay is mainly legal dogmatic but, due to the nature of the subject, there has been a need to involve other material than those foremost used in a legal dogmatic approach. Due to the essay not fully employing the classical legal dogmatic approach, the material is mainly based on the classical legal documents but non-legal sources are also employed in order to further the analysis. There are also comparative aspects to be found in this essay, comparing the efforts of the EU with the global efforts. A conclusion drawn through the analysis conducted in this essay is that emission trading is an instrument that will most likely be continuously employed within both the European and global climate policies in the future. Some aspects of the different Systems are also analysed, leading to conclusions regarding what is essential during the construction of such instruments, such as time and adaptability, and the issues raised within both Systems, such as carbon leakage and the existence of a surplus of allowances.

  • Australia Parliament House Inquiry Submission Objectives And
    Australia Parliament House Inquiry Submission The Climate Change (National Framework for Adaptation and Mitigation) Bill 2020 and Climate Change (National Framework for Adaptation and Mitigation) (Consequential and Transitional Provisions) Bill 2020 Objectives and importance of long-term emissions reduction commitment The UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has in late 2018 published a report saying that 'say urgent and unprecedented changes are needed' to reach 'the most ambitious end of the Paris agreement pledge to keep temperatures between 1.5C and 2C', which they say 'is affordable and feasible'. 1 It also noted there was a relatively short window of 12 years to act, which brings it to 10 years now at time of writing. The worst impacts of climate change and rising temperatures have been outlined by climate scientists many times over, and even the Paris agreement's own authors offer us two visions for how the world might look in 2050. Their worst case scenario – no further climate action is taken – is sobering. 2 The results of insufficient action will be worsening and more frequent extreme weather events, affected crop yields, coral die-off, increased sea levels, threatened ecosystems and more. These will have significant impacts on populations throughout the world, pushing many into harsher conditions with rarefied water, food and shelter from increasingly severe weather events, increasing conflict over resources in these regions. It would drive migration to never-seen levels, with people seeking asylum in relatively safer and kinder climates for which no country is currently prepared for. 3 I acknowledge the need to remain as unemotional and clear-headed about these problems, and the solutions we want to apply to them.

  • Article 6 Needs Ambition, Not Time Wasting the Carryover of Pre-2020 Credits Could Fatally Undermine the Paris Agreement
    ARTICLE 6 NEEDS AMBITION, NOT TIME WASTING THE CARRYOVER OF PRE-2020 CREDITS COULD FATALLY UNDERMINE THE PARIS AGREEMENT SUMMARY Existing market mechanisms under the Kyoto Protocol have accrued an available supply of some 4.65 Gt CO2 worth of carbon offsets, largely allocated to China, India, and Brazil. Were these credits to be rolled over into the mechanisms outlined by Article 6 of the Paris agreement, nearly 40% of existing ambition outlined by countries in their NDCs would be wiped away. Present NDC ambition will likely lead to total warming of 2.8°C above the pre-industrial average. If the available supply of existing credits were to be carried over post-2020, an additional 0.1°C or more of warming could be realised, dependent on where credits are consumed. By contrast, to move onto a trajectory compatible with limiting warming to 1.5°C would mean increasing the ambition of the current NDCs by 50%. Carry over of Kyoto units would therefore take us in the wrong direction, further away from a pathway that is faithful to the 1.5°C limit, and could lock-in carbon intensive infrastructure for the longer term. Allowing roll-over of credits prior to 2020 would also potentially destroy the nascent Article 6 market by flooding it with pre-existing credits. Some of these credits could also be double counted if they are also used to meet 2020 targets. It is imperative that mitigation credits generated prior to 2020 not be applied towards the Article 6 market mechanism; otherwise, already inadequate NDC targets will be made artificially easier to achieve, resulting in even less ambitious action toward the goals of the Paris Agreement.

  • Report #16 ​ Theme: Recommendations to Help Countries Make Paris Agreement Pledges That Are 1.5 Degrees
    Climate change is real. What governments do matters. Global Spotlight Report #16 ​ Theme: Recommendations To Help Countries Make Paris Agreement Pledges That Are 1.5 Degrees Compliant Introduction To ensure the well-being of our planet, every country needs to strengthen the emission reduction pledges it made to the Paris Agreement in 2015. The pledges of 2015 are too low to prevent widespread climate driven devastation from affecting all parts of the world, especially those countries which are poor and vulnerable. A recent report of the Inter-Governmental Committee on Climate Change (IPCC) reports that we have until 2030 to cool the planet down to 1.5 degrees Celsius above what the earth’s temperature was in the pre-industrial age. 1 www.ClimateScorecard.org For Global Spotlight Report #16 Climate Scorecard, we asked our country managers to provide a short-list of policy recommendations that their countries can follow that would decrease the temperature of the planet and ensure 1.5 degree compliancy. We hope that these recommendations gain traction with NGOs, research organizations and the private sector who are in a position to advocate for their countries to strengthen their Paris Agreement pledge. Under the terms of the Agreement, countries are encouraged to strengthen the ambition of their 2015 pledge by 2020. We urge our readers and followers to review the policy recommendations in this Report. Adapt them, share with others, and give us feedback on how they can be improved. 2 www.ClimateScorecard.org COUNTRY REPORTS Australia Australia’s NDC is an unconditional target of 26-28% emissions cuts by 2030 (relative to 2005 levels).

  • Climate Change Authority Review Meeting
    Climate Change Authority Review Meeting the Paris Agreement submission September 2019 Meeting the Paris Agreement submission to the CCA review 1. Introduction The Carbon Market Institute (CMI) welcomes the opportunity to make this submission into the Climate Change Authority’s (CCA) review of its recommendations of the policy toolkit required for Australia to meet its emissions reduction commitments under the Paris Agreement. The Carbon Market Institute operates at the interface of climate change policy and business in Australia. Independent and non-partisan, we’re the peak industry body for climate change and business and we are dedicated to helping business seize opportunities in evolving carbon markets. Our experience and analysis is that market-based approaches are the most efficient policy mechanism to address the challenges of the climate crisis and realise the opportunities in the transition to a zero-carbon economy. However, CMI recognises that market mechanisms may need to be integrated with, or support, a broader policy toolkit requiring targeted sectoral approaches. CMI conducts research and analysis across carbon market issues. CMI also surveys industry attitudes and it’s 2018 Australian Climate Policy Survey of senior and executive level individuals from across business found that 92% thought Australia’s climate and energy policies were insufficient to meet Australia’s Paris Agreement commitment and 82% agreed that Australia should set an economy-wide target of net-zero emissions by 2050. Recently, CMI’s National Climate Policy Position (outlined below in section 4) was endorsed by its membership and board, following the outcome of the 2019 federal election. This brief submission reinforces our position, additional to comments made in our consultation session of 12 August 2019.

  • Climate Leadership Agreement
    Climate Leadership Agreement If elected, Independent MPs in the Australian Parliament agree to collaborate to achieve meaningful action on climate change. We, the undersigned, are standing as independent candidates at the 2019 federal election. We come from different parts of Australia, and different political backgrounds, but are united by a desire to represent the long term public interest of Australia and best interests of our local communities. We recognise that to be a true servant of our communities and our national parliament, we must demonstrate and deliver strong leadership on climate change. The evidence of dangerous climate change is well-established and beyond doubt. Climate change is a real and present threat to the safety and security of the people and places we care about, as well as the national economy. Extreme weather events, loss of native species, landscape changes, and sea-level rise are all now driving increased mitigation and adaptation costs on government and business, a loss of investment opportunity, lack of economic certainty, and damaging our future standard of living and health of our country. The solutions to climate change are key to our nation’s, and planet’s, future prosperity. Private investment depends on policy certainty. Government Industry Policy is at its best when promoting new job markets, not protecting declining ones, and supporting just transitions. In our regions and for people on the land, climate leadership can deliver healthier soils, secure clean water, and stewardship of our native plants and animals. If elected at the upcoming federal election, we agree to work together and with other parliamentarians, to: 1.
