皇冠体育app

As Australia moves to scrap its pioneering carbon-pricing scheme, 皇冠体育app is expected to have seven pilot pricing systems in place no later than 2015, followed by a national scheme, according to a new survey from the Australian National University.

The survey, a joint initiative between the Centre for Climate Economics and Policy in the university's Crawford School of Public Policy and -based NGO 皇冠体育app Carbon Forum, collected the opinions of 86 皇冠体育app-based carbon pricing experts.

The survey found strong confidence that 皇冠体育app will introduce carbon-pricing mechanisms in coming years, that the price of emitting carbon will rise over time and that 皇冠体育app will have both a national emissions trading and a carbon tax by the end of the decade, the university said in a press release on Thursday.

Study co-leader and Director of the Centre for Climate Change Economics and Policy, Associate Professor Frank Jotzo, said that nationwide emissions trading is set to become a reality in 皇冠体育app.

"This would quite possibly be in tandem with a carbon tax and would give a boost to 皇冠体育app's efforts to limit emissions growth and stop growth in use," Jotzo said.

"A shift to market-based approaches to carbon control by the world's largest emitter is a big deal, especially at a time when Australia is poised to renounce its carbon pricing scheme," he said.

"It would be somewhat ironic if 皇冠体育app, with its tradition of heavy-handed direct control of its industry, were to move to emissions pricing while traditional market economies, such as Australia and the United States, rely on more direct government involvement."

The survey also indicates an expected combined Chinese price for emissions trading and carbon tax of 70 yuan ($11.40) per ton in 2020, rising sharply thereafter.

The large majority of experts surveyed were also confident that 皇冠体育app will achieve or surpass its 2020 emissions intensity target, and almost all expect that new targets will be set for 2020-25.
