Fossil fuel subsidies benefit the wealthy, and have no choice. skew resources away from priorities such as health, education and cleaner energy development. They no longer make sense. Removing them may not be easy in the face of resistance from deep-seated interests in “carbon-entangled” sectors. Yet many countries are taking action, such as the Netherlands, Mexico, India and Indonesia, in some cases with surprisingly good results Angel Gurría Secretary-General of the OECD in terms of improved public finances, economic incentives and equity. More governments should follow suit. Apart from subsidies, policy makers must put a robust and The UN Conference on Climate Change (COP21) in Paris 30 steadily rising price on carbon through green taxes and/or sound November-11 December is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to reach a new international agreement to combat climate change carbon trading schemes that operate globally.

The OECD has been involved in the fight against climate change The IEA warns that we need to triple public energy investment for several decades, with cross-cutting analysis and in-depth in RD&D and scale up collaboration between public and private discussion among experts and stakeholders both at the entities. organisation and beyond. We know a low-carbon transition will not be easy, but it is feasible. And besides, we have no choice. Meanwhile, OECD research shows that although new firms are driving innovation in low-carbon technology and systems, For COP21, the OECD’s message is clear: world leaders are three conventional policy settings like tax credits and regulatory steps away from overcoming climate change and unleashing a standards restrict them, putting polluting incumbents at an dynamic, zero-carbon economy.

However, the demand for electric vehicles has been growing slowly and the electric vehicle battery industry still has internal and external competitions to become a standardized energy source for electric vehicles.

  • Nonstate Actors in the Climate Arena

Participants neither reviewed nor approved this paper; the views expressed are the personal views of the author and not necessarily those of the Stanley Foundation, the National Defense University, or the World Future Society. This paper is in draft form and has not been edited for publication. The author's affiliation is listed for identification purposes only. Nonstate Actors in the Climate Arena Josh Busby, University of Texas-Austin, [email protected] Jennifer Hadden, University of Maryland-College Park, [email protected] Greenhouse gas concentrations peaked above 400 parts per million in 2013, the highest level in 800,000 years (Freedman 2013). With some climate change now inevitable, concern has shifted to containing the expected increase and minimizing the consequences. Political leaders have previously committed to restraining global temperatures to no more than a 2 degrees Celsius increase above pre-industrial levels, a level beyond which scientists fear “dangerous” consequences. Since the main greenhouse gas -- carbon dioxide -- persists in the atmosphere for about one hundred years, analysts note with urgency that the world has only a few decades to move towards dramatic decarbonization of the global economy in order to avoid overshooting the 2 degrees target. The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) has been the main instrument for international negotiations on climate since 1992.

ICLEI BRIEFING SHEET - Climate Series, No. 01 On the eve of COP21, and what is hoped to be an ambitious and breakthrough global climate agreement, ICLEI takes a look back at 25 years of climate advocacy by local and subnational governments. In particular, the Local Government Climate Roadmap is concluding its eight year quest for the recognition, engagement, and empowerment of local and subnational governments as governmental stakeholders in the global climate regime.
