#SUERFpolicybrief “Five questions on the impact of carbon taxes on economies and markets” by Thierry Roncalli, Amundi Investment Institute The choice of the optimal environmental policy is an important question in the current climate change context. While the carbon tax was the preferred policy of economists in the 1970s and 1980s, governments have implemented both quantity-based policies, such as emissions trading schemes, and price-based policies, such as fossil fuel taxes and renewable energy subsidies. The implementation of a general carbon tax on greenhouse gas emissions is currently not very common, and a low carbon price is generally retained. However, with the development of the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, the Fit for 55 package and the need to achieve a low-carbon economy by 2050 if we are to keep the temperature anomaly below 1.5°C, the issue of carbon taxes is back on the agenda and the old debate of price vs. quantity regulation is reopened. https://lnkd.in/d-qgwMzY #ClimateChange #CarbonPricing #Decarbonization #PolicyInstrument #CarbonTax #NetZeroEmissions

[Event Information ] In the medium scenario, annual climate finance needed through 2030 would steadily increase from $8.1 trillion to $9 trillion. Demand is then estimated to increase to more than $10 trillion per year between 2031 and 2050. This means that climate finance must increase at least fivefold per year, as quickly as possible, to avoid the worst impacts of climate change. Vietnam needs at least 380 billion USD from 2024 to 2040 to achieve the national hashtag#netzero goals, equivalent to 7% of GDP each year. That is an extremely huge challenge for a developing country like Vietnam. In the global context of a strong transformation towards sustainable development and environmental protection, businesses are increasingly aware of the important role of green credit and Social and Environmental Management System ( hashtag #ESMS), hashtag #ESG Reporting. Therefore, the seminar on "GREEN FINANCE FOR ENTERPRISES: FRAMEWORK, TOOLS AND SOLUTIONS" was organized in coordination between Long Hau Industrial Park Management Board and ESG Education & Business, along with ESG & Sustainability Alliance aims to provide an in-depth forum where businesses can learn together, share experiences and update the latest trends and solutions in this field. The conference will take place with the participation of leading experts, business managers and leaders, financial institutions and environmental management agencies. The program is designed with many rich discussion sessions, providing comprehensive knowledge and practical solutions about green credit, hashtag #ESMS, and hashtag #ESG. The workshop will help businesses better understand how to apply hashtag #ESMS in business activities, thereby improving environmental and social management efficiency, and making the most of green finance opportunities. What we do hopes to contribute a small part to this cause. 1.

Sharing Carbon AI’s thoughts after reading this article : The article discusses the challenges and potential future of the voluntary carbon credit market. Here are the key takeaways: Problems with the Current Market: Lack of Integrity: Concerns exist about the validity of some carbon offset projects, with accusations of inflated benefits and disregard for local communities.   Misuse as Offsets: Companies using carbon credits to claim "carbon neutral" status without truly reducing emissions has damaged the market's credibility. Decline in Demand: These issues have led to a significant drop in companies buying carbon credits.   Potential Solutions and a New Approach: Focus on Carbon Removal: Shifting focus to credits from projects that actively remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere may be more reliable. Internal Carbon Pricing: Companies setting an internal price on their carbon emissions and using those funds for high-quality carbon credits could incentivize real impact. Improved Standards: Organizations like the Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market (ICVCM) setting stricter standards can help ensure the legitimacy of carbon credits.   The Future of the Market: The path forward for the market is uncertain, but with stricter regulations and a shift in focus, it could still play a role in funding climate solutions. Rebuilding trust and ensuring the quality of carbon credits is crucial for the market to recover and achieve a significant impact.   Additional Points: The article mentions Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) which sets standards for corporate emission reduction plans. SBTi discourages using carbon credits for offsetting but may allow credits from carbon removal projects for achieving net-zero status. Some argue for viewing carbon credits as "securities" similar to stocks and bonds, focusing on their risk and performance rather than a one-to-one offset claim. Overall, the article highlights the need for reform in the carbon credit market to ensure its effectiveness in combating climate change. #carbonai #carboncredits #sustainableinvesting #impactinvesting https://lnkd.in/e_sScHmD

New fossil fuel investments as the climate crisis worsens makes those investments even riskier. According to the recent report from the I4CE - Institut de l'économie pour le climat / Institute for Climate Economics in Paris ‘stranding risk’ is considered a ‘transition-driven risk’. One of the financial researchers, Natasha Chaudhary, suggests evaluating assets at risk in an energy transition using a ‘whole of economy lens’ that considers how the low-carbon transition impacts all economic sectors. Private financial institutions and private investors will need to step out of the static narrative of ‘stranded assets’.

🔁 The Climate Threat to Global Equity Values: What Investors Must Know – Missed our recent webinar? The replay is now available! Watch here: https://lnkd.in/dM6Tf9pa During the webinar, which attracted over 800 professionals, EDHEC Business School Professor Rebonato presented key findings from the study "How Does Climate Risk Affect Global Equity Valuations? A Novel Approach." Supported by Scientific Beta, this research introduces innovative methodologies to assess the significant impact of #climaterisks on global #equity valuations, particularly under scenarios of limited #climate action. Professor Rebonato highlighted that the magnitude of the losses depends on the aggressiveness of emission abatement policy; the presence or absence of tipping points; on the extent of Central banks' willingness and ability to lower rates in states of economic distress. 📉 The study reveals that over 40% of global equity value is at risk unless decarbonization efforts accelerate, with potential losses exceeding 50% near climate tipping points.

ValueCo at the OECD's Green Finance Forum: A Deep Dive into Biodiversity 🌿💰 During the High-Level Plenary: Mobilising private finance for #biodiversity session, we were inspired by the insights from Anne-Laurence Roucher, Deputy CEO, Head of Private Equity & Natural Capital at Mirova, Helen Crowley, Senior Advisor at Pollination, Ingrid Kukuljan, Head of Impact & Sustainable Investing at Federated Hermes Limited, Katia Karousakis, Team Lead, Biodiversity, Environment Directorate at OECD - OCDE, and Simon Zadek, Co-CEO of NatureFinance. Key takeaways: - The importance of long-term thinking: Overcoming short-termism is crucial for investing in biodiversity, as it's essential for our #resilient future. - The need for corporate action: 11,000 companies will need to report on their biodiversity impact by 2025, and they require support to understand their dependencies and transition to sustainable practices. - The potential and challenges of biodiversity credits: While offering opportunities, biodiversity credits face challenges such as standardization, #regulation, and the lack of long-distance equivalence. Secondary trading should also be avoided to ensure the integrity of biodiversity conservation efforts. - The need for market signals: Clear market and regulatory signals are crucial for investors to make informed decisions. At ValueCo, we're committed to providing the tools and insights needed to navigate the complex landscape of biodiversity finance. Our aggregated view on #market ESG sentiment and signals can help investors make informed decisions and contribute to a more sustainable future. Let's work together to protect our planet! 🌎🌱
