The objectives of this conference are to:
• Build on discussions undertaken at a side-event and a workshop at the Climate Change Summit 2009 (see the scoping papers on economic instruments to mitigate climate change in South Africa at www.erc.uct.ac.za),
• Contribute to the development of climate policy in South Africa, by further exploring practical options for putting a price on carbon,
• Deepen the understanding of economic instruments, through a conference with peer-reviewed papers,
• Broaden the community of experts working in this emerging field, by having attracted papers from researchers and analysts in cognate disciplines that are not currently working on carbon pricing o including economics and environmental economics, but also o researchers working on institutional and political dimensions
• Draw on experiences and lessons from other countries, in particular other developing countries in their exploration of the same issues in similar contexts, and o experiences of implementation in developed countries examining the applicability in the context of development.
The core ERC organizing committee comprises Associate Professor Harald Winkler, Dr Andrew Marquard and Ms Meagan Jooste
