The Sallan Foundation Announces the Release of a Climate Change Report -- Market Muscle: Can Cap and Trade Cut Carbon?
Market Muscle offers an overview of emerging markets in Europe and the US that buy and sell the right to emit carbon while the carbon permits in circulation go down over time. Cap and trade programs are the current favorites of policy makers and business supporters around the world.
In this eBriefing, top advocates and analysts spell out the history of these markets, explain how they work and shed light on the role of governments as market-makers.
The scope of Market Muscle ranges from the South Bronx to the Northeast United States, to Europe, to China and beyond to what is emerging as a global market in carbon emissions. That development is of potentially epochal significance for our carbon-addicted civilization that is in jeopardy of being irrevocably damaged.
Market Muscle reports on a panel held at the New York Academy of Sciences in November 2006.
Panelists were Veronique Bugnion of Point Carbon and Luis Martinez of the Natural Resources Defense Counsel. Gail Suchman, with Columbia University’s Earth Institute and the law firm of Gilberti, Stinziano, Heintz & Smith, P.C. moderated.
In welcoming attendees, Nancy E. Anderson, Executive Director of the Sallan Foundation, explained that The Sallan Foundation’s mission is "advancing useful knowledge for greener cities." She added, "I hope that is exactly what we will achieve here this evening because we are part of a local, regional, worldwide effort; part of the long march through the institutions toward a carbon-neutral world and carbon-neutral future."
This media rich eBriefing, accessible to Sallan readers for free, will help everyone get informed and join the greatest debate of the 21st century.
