For the p<span>ast several months<\/span><span>, the price on the<\/span> European Climate Exchange fluctuated<span> around the <\/span>nine-Euro<span> mark. Current prices are slightly better than predicted last year, but still far off 31<\/span> Euros &ndash; the price in August 2008.<\/p>\n<p>Climate change and the economic<span> crisis share one <\/span><span>crucial <\/span>feature: the importance of <span>financing mechanisms. In <\/span>every climate-change proposal, emissions reduction and climate-change adaptation require funding that runs<span> into the tens of billions of dollars. Finding and allocating that <\/span>money<span> will be the core of any climate deal reached at <\/span>the United Nations conference in Copenhagen in December. <span>But the ongoing crisis ha<\/span>s highlighted the problems of carbon markets, and forced a re-examination of their role in any future deal.<\/p>\n<p>In 1997, the Kyoto Protocol<span> established a system of rights over environment resources that created a<\/span> market mechanism known as a cap-and-trade system. People hoped that carbon trading would solve a global &ldquo;<span><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tragedy_of_the_commons\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">tragedy of the commons<\/a><\/span>&rdquo;. Certainly, it is hard to imagine the energy industry making changes without the right economic incentives in place<span>. But with the financial crisis darkening an already bleak outlook, will carbon trading <\/span>come to a premature end?<\/p>\n<p>In April, the European Union published emissions figures for its 27 member states<span>. Overall emissions for the EU were down 6% on the previous year, at 2.11 b<\/span>illion tonnes. Emissions from the <span>concrete, chemical, glass and paper industries <\/span>had fallen significantly &ndash; a drop of 9% &ndash;<span> while emissions f<\/span>rom power-generation fell by <span>6%. Industry <\/span>analysts believe that this was not only caused by the <span>implementation of the Kyoto Protocol, <\/span>but also the <span>fall in production <\/span>triggered by the financial crisis.<\/p>\n<p>Carbon markets may be non-traditional, but the <span>laws of supply and demand still hold true <\/span>&ndash; <span>and the price of carbon reflects overall economic trends. Lower emissions reduced businesses<\/span>&rsquo; need for emissions quotas and some dumped those that they he<span>ld. Meanwhile developing nations <\/span>sold <span>off their emissions quotas<\/span>, which were of no more use to them than hot air, exacerbating the problem of oversupply. The market plummeted.<\/p>\n<p>In 2005, a<span> crash in the <\/span>carbon <span>market saw prices drop <\/span>close to zero. This was due to the EU miscalculating national emission levels and issuing too many quotas, thus<span> killing demand. This <\/span>year however<span>, the economy <\/span>was to blame.<\/p>\n<p>In discussions about <span>post-Kyoto mechanisms, there <\/span>is a tension between truly equitable, and more competitive, price-setting mechanisms. Long-term considerations about carbon pricing are thus <span>a major factor in<\/span><span> discussions about<\/span> the impacts of emissions reduction. A carbon price that fluctuates within a reasonable range is of interest to<span> developed governments and investors. But for developing countries participating in Clean Development Me<\/span>chanism, a low carbon price is unfair and unhelpful in reducing emissions.<\/p>\n<p><span>Prices for traditional products are set by supply and demand. But what worries investors about carbon is the <\/span>important role of political priorities in price-setting. Policy <span>will determine the outlook for long-term investment in infrastructure, manufacturing <\/span>and technology. Investors have been calling for a &ldquo;Three-L&rdquo;<span> policy signal<\/span>: long, loud and legally binding. This is also <span>the case for venture capital<\/span> and private equity. But the carbon market is even more risky, since<span> it is heavily reliant on multilateral political agreements. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>Specialist carbon investment funds that emerged<span> in recent years have struggled<\/span>; some have pulled<span> out or switch<\/span>ed funds to other markets. The first phase of the Kyoto Protocol ends in 2012, and there is not yet a plan<span> for moving from the <\/span>current carbon market framework to a new global deal<span>. Negotiations <\/span>that take place over a five-year basis do not fit with normal investment cycles. I<span>nvestors look at carbon markets, but do not act. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>China<span> is the country with the <\/span>most emissions reduction quotas under the CDM &ndash;<span> and a battlefield for investors. In the last two years, with the market expected to rocket, most quot<\/span>a purchase agreements were priced at 10 Euros or more. A<span>verage project development costs <\/span>are around one Euro per tonne of carbon, while the cost of carbon hovers around the 11 to 12-Euro mark. Therefore<span> there is no guarantee of a reasonable return. This year the slow pace of negotiations and the low price of carbon have slowed down progress on projects. Add in the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chinadialogue.net\/article\/show\/single\/en\/2609\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">other<span> failings of the CDM<\/span><\/a>, and there is <span>a pressing need for change. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>Low carbon prices do not only present an obstacle to investment in the low-carbon economy, <span>they also exacerbate differences between political groupings. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>At <span>recent UN-led climate talks in <\/span>Poznan, Poland, the British <span>and German environment ministers emphasi<\/span>sed the role of carbon markets as a funding stream in the future. For the EU, the current 2% tax on income from the CDM remains<span> the main source of fund<\/span>s. As long as there is still a market, these funds will flow. Politically, this is an<span> easier option than increasing carbon taxes, and the system is already in place &ndash; it <\/span>only needs to be <span>expanded. Meanwhile, financial institutions and large businesses will welcome the investment opportunities. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>However,<span> some of the major developing nations oppose the <\/span>expansion of carbon markets in<span> their countries. <\/span>C<span>urrent proposal<\/span>s<span> would see the EU cut emissions by 30% from 1990 levels by 2020, with half of that reduction coming from the purchase of quotas from the developing world<\/span>: a form of<span> offsetting. But this <\/span>raises worries among industrialising nations. <span>Developing countries will lose the opportunity to make cheaper reductions in emissions, as r<\/span>equirements increasingly target energy-<span>intensive industries<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover<span>, fluctuations in the carbon price m<\/span>ean<span> the funding for emissions reduction and adaptation provided from developed nations to the developing world <\/span>is unpredictable. <span>This tends to make carbon trading politically unsaleable. <\/span>Negotiations are deadlocked on these issues, and there is not a clear road ahead.<\/p>\n<p>But despite these<span> disagreements, carbon markets are expanding. In the United States, <\/span>some regional markets are in operation;<span> Australia and Japan are working on <\/span>similar <span>plans. Meanwhile the emissions reduction projects in developing nations as part of the CDM system have provided<\/span> an<span> important reference for <\/span>a future agreement. But technical problems are easily resolved;<span> it is political agreement that is elusive. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>There is also a complex relationship<span> between the cost of carbon and the cost of oil. When <\/span>the oil price is high, the price of carbon rises as more people <span>seek out alternative <\/span>energy sources. Lower oil consumption during <span>the economic crisis has reduced emissions, <\/span>but<span> the low price of carbon has weakened investment in emissions-reduc<\/span>ing technologies. T<span>he way to restore investor confidence is the addition of public funds to put the market back in order <\/span>&ndash; and help push forward the low-carbon economy during the economic crisis.<\/p>\n<p>\n<i>Yu Jie<\/i><i> is<\/i><i> h<\/i><i>ead of <\/i><i>p<\/i><i>olicy and <\/i><i>r<\/i><i><span>esearch at Climate<\/span><\/i><i> G<\/i><i>roup China.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Homepage photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/freefoto\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">freefotouk<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Carbon prices are rising slowly after a recent fall in the markets.
