Economic Instruments for Long-term Reductions in Energy-based Carbon Emissions
-
Description
-
This State of the Debate report marks the conclusion of the National Round Table on the Environment and the Economy (NRTEE)’s Ecological Fiscal Reform (EFR) and Energy Program. It describes the Program’s research findings and details the final recommendations stemming from the stakeholder consultations. The EFR and Energy Program represents the second phase of the NRTEE’s EFR Program. Whereas Phase 1 explored the general potential of economic instruments to advance sustainable development—looking at EFR measures in Europe, the United States and Canada, as well as the use of EFR in specific sectors of the economy—Phase 2 has focused on the use of economic instruments in achieving long-term reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, specifically carbon emissions. Case studies of industrial energy efficiency, renewable energy, and hydrogen technologies.

This report complements the Achieving 2050: A Carbon Pricing Policy for Canada report by providing additional details on the analysis underpinning the conclusions in the Advisory Note. By integrating the research commissioned or developed by the NRTEE, including economic modelling, it illustrates the main Advisory Note’s grounding in credible and original analysis. The Technical Backgrounder also provides a useful policy design framework and reference tool for policy makers by identifying important design and implementation issues and the trade-offs between the main design options .

Parallel Paths: Canada-U.S. climate policy choices
-
Description
-
Third report of the Climate Prosperity series . According to the introduction, "With this report, the National Round Table on the Environment and the Economy (NRTEE) has undertaken the most comprehensive analysis yet published on the economic risks and opportunities for Canada of climate policy in the context of the Canada-United States relationship." The report proposes a "Transitional Policy Option" which would implement an economy-wide cap-and-trade system in Canada ahead of the U.S., but would limit the Canadian carbon price so that it would never become too out of step with the U.S.

AL-PAC Case Study - Part 1 Management Objectives
-
Description
-
This is the first of a three-part case study report highlighting a range of management objectives that would promote the conservation of natural capital within the Alberta- Pacific Forest Industries (Al-Pac) Forest Management Area (FMA) in northeastern Alberta. The discussion of management objectives provides the basis for the subsequent examination of institutional and fiscal barriers to achieving these objectives and policy options for promoting them. The specific questions examined are: What key conservation values should be promoted in the Al-Pac FMA? What indicators of natural capital correspond to these conservation values, and what human activities affect these indicators? And finally, what specific management objectives for land-uses in the Al-Pac FMA could be adopted to promote the conservation of natural capital?
