Compared to other problems solved bymankind, climate is almost an easy one....
Do you think it was or is an easier task to establishdemocracy overcome Hitler and Stalin abolish slavery create decent social security (at least in Europe) achieve world wide consent on Human Rights (at least onpaper) overcome poverty in many countries etc.?
Its a lot like fighting lung cancer solutions are not easybut well-known and feasible all we need is determination
The bad news is we need to reduce global emissions to50% of the 1990 levels!
The good news is: Almost all we need to do is to reducethree substances, namely oil, gas, and coal!

Prices created the problem, prices canhelp to solve it
The three most important instruments are price, price,and price! Correcting prices will correct most of theerrors.
But of course we also need ethics, better regulation,greener technology, changes in life style...
By and large, our environmental problems are no coincidence, but acollateral damagefrom market growth under misleading incentives
Problem inputs and outputs are overused due to zero or too low prices
Many of these inputs and outputs are not detrimental per se, but onlyby their sheer quantity (CO2 prime example)
In such cases, banning is neither possible nor desirable we need tocurb them down to decouple growth from problem inputs and outputs

Environmentally harmful subsidies alwayspose a double, if not triple waste
Usually, they lead to a combination of:1. environmental damage, with the
government paying for it
2. economic inefficiency, because whateveris subsidized will be used wastefully
3. and a huge fiscal burden, bringing some
states to the edge of insolvency. A good example: Generous tax subsidies for company cars

How about a price system that will finallytell the truth in all three dimensions?
.... the economic truth: fair competition and efficiency
.... the social truth: fair wages and social security
.... and the ecological truth:
internalisation of external effects Wrong prices lead markets in wrong directions!

Long awaited:The GBE Christmas wish list for 2011
FOR THE EU AND GOVERNMENTS
Higher carbon-targets for the EU. Let us go from 20 to 30%! A roadmap to subsidy reform Overdue: The new energy directive. Perhaps a big help for most countries. Higher taxes on air traffic on EU and member states level Stop begging your EU neighbours with low energy taxes (example LU)
Consolidation programs which show much more concern for jobs, socialjustice and green opportunities
Better Green Growth models for the PIGS countries and Eastern EuropeFOR NGOs, ACADEMICS AND OURSELVES A larger definition of double dividend, to include also green consolidation,
not only green tax shifts More research in the probably large potential of Green Purchasing Much more concrete blueprints to visualize the path into a greener future Annual MBI-Forum, with help from GBE and EEB, to exchange best practices More GBE members all 27 EU states should be represented!
