Kansliet Reflexions after Bangkok ! • The lack of trust between the ind. and developing countries is increasing ! • The discussion about a single agreement approache - risk that the concept from the Kyoto protocol will die • No substantiell step forward about the financing key issue • No concrete discussion about emissions targets to 2020 • We need to solve the economic, climate and powerty crisis at the some time - with investments in a global ”Marshall plan” • So what are we wating for….?
Kansliet We will all be losers if….
Kansliet Cost effectivness – Yes ? … but which one ? • 1. Cost effectivness in a short perspectiv : • How can we reduce the Swedish emissions by 40 % to 2020 in the most costeffectiv way? • If we take this concept seriously we need to make Swedish climat policy less ambitious and decrease our carbon tax !!
Kansliet Cost effectivness – Yes ? … but which one ? • 2. Cost effectivness in a long perspectiv : • How can we reduce the emissions by 90 % in Sweden to 2050 which means less than 1 ton per capita ? • That´s un totaly different quastion ! • The ansewer in this perspectiv is to reduce the emissions step by step in a steady rate even if it´s more costly than investments in developing countries just now
Kansliet Sweden a winner so far…

How much is needed? • UN said that we about 500 billion USD a year for mitigation, adaptation and protection of forest in the developing countries. • EU said that we need about 100 billions of euro a year but only 2-15 billions a year from public founds !! 2 9
What are ways to raise public money? • Global carbon taxes – e.g. on shipping and flights = double divident • Global “national income taxes” (among Annex 1 countries to begin with) or introduction of national carbon taxes… • Auctioning of national emmissions permits (“Norwegian proposal”) • Market-based, e.g levvy on CDM for adaptation 2 10
How can private resources be triggered and directed in the right wayA global Marshall plan for climate is necessary. • The bulk of investments are private, but the public resources are crucial to steer in the right direction. • Emmissions markets and CDM can only be a marginal part of the solution – in best case. • A global investment plan for fossile-free energy — a global feed-in tariff system — is a very interesting proposal. Higher price for the producer and un other lower price for the consumer… . 2 11
