What are the global impacts of a European environmental tax reform?
Resource PProductivity, EEnvironmental TTax RReform and sustainable growth in EEurope
• Environmental impacts:•Material extraction•Energy-related CO2 emissions
•Economic impacts:•economic growth•International trade & sectoral competitiveness

Baseline and policy scenarios
Baseline = Business as usual scenario• Socio-economic and economic-environmental relations of
the past will continue in the future
ETR scenarios • ETR tax in all EU non-ETS sectors = ETS price• Aviation included in EU ETS• 100% auctioning of power generation ETS permits• 50% auctioning of all other ETS permits in 2013,
100% auctioning by 2020• Material taxes (5% ad valorem in 2010, 15% by
2020)
![Page 10: Global effects of a European environmental tax reform](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062814/56816866550346895ddec309/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
10
Policy scenarios
S1H • High energy prices• ETR with 100% revenue recycling: all revenues are used to
reduce the employers’ social security contributions (income tax, etc)
• 2020 EU GHG emissions target (20%) met
S3H • High energy prices• ETR with 100% revenue recycling • International cooperation • 2020 EU GHG target (30%) • Emerging economies introduce a CO2 tax which is recycled
via income tax reductions

Combating climate change with global cooperation and global climate treaties
• Large emerging economies will increase their share in CO2
emissions
• Unilateral action by the EU is insignificant in terms of global
environmental sustainability
• Participation of all OECD and emerging countries
• Avoid carbon leakage
![Page 26: Global effects of a European environmental tax reform](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062814/56816866550346895ddec309/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
26
CO2 emission targets are not sufficient to address climate change
• Targets to reduce EU CO2 emissions (by 20-30%) are not sufficient.
• Measures are needed to increase resource productivity and to limit
resource consumption.
• Focus on CO2 is too narrow (e.g. biofuels, nuclear energy)
• Address our unsustainable use of resources (root cause of climate
change)
• Concerted action
![Page 27: Global effects of a European environmental tax reform](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062814/56816866550346895ddec309/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
27
Shared responsibility between producers and consumers
• Increasing importance of embodied emissions in trade
• Multi-regional IO models show that our CO2 emissions would
be higher (developing countries produce on our behalf)
• Distribute costs to reduce GHG emissions between
producers and consumers
• Per capita allocations or global carbon tax
![Page 28: Global effects of a European environmental tax reform](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062814/56816866550346895ddec309/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
28
Address the conflict between economic and development goals
• In important EU policy strategies (“Global Europe”, “Raw
Materials Initiative”) the goals of access to and supply of raw
materials and natural resources prevail over the objective of
their sustainable and equitable use
• Increase technical and financial assistance for climate change
mitigation and adaptation
• Placing access to resource efficient technologies outside the
purview if IPR restrictions into the public domain / international
public buyouts of patents on such technologies

Scenarios
Baseline with low energy prices (LEP) LB: • International energy prices: PRIMES 2007 (60 $2005/boe in 2020)• GDP and CO2 adjusted to PRIMES 2007/WEO 2007• ETS price: 18 Euro2008/t CO2 in 2020
Baseline HB:• Baseline as above but exogenous real oil price is assumed to rise after
2008 consistent with a $113/boe in nominal terms in 2010 and then to rise as in the PRIMES baseline (LEP above).
• Gas and coal prices follow the oil price.• Energy prices consistent with IEA/WEO 2008 baseline
Scenario 1: LS1• 2020 EU GHG emissions target (20%) met• Low energy prices (baseline LEP)• ETS price = ETR tax rate• ETS: 100% auctioning in 2020• Material tax (15% ad valorem tax in 2020)• 100% revenue recycling: employer’s social security contributions (ETS
material tax and carbon tax on corp. rev)/income tax (carbon tax on hh)• No further policy measures (RES, efficiency package etc.)

Scenarios (part II)
Scenario 2: HS1 • 2020 EU GHG 20% target met• High energy prices• CO2 price: 68 Euro 2008/t
Scenario 3: HS2• As Scenario 2• 10% recycling in low carbon technologies
(RES and building insulation)• CO2 price: 61 Euro 2008/t
Scenario 4: HS3• As Scenario 2• International cooperation• 2020 EU GHG emissions target (30%!) met• CO2 price: 184 Euro2008/t (OECD)• CO2 price: 46 Euro2008/t (emerging economies)
