1 THE NETWORKED CARBON MARKETS INITIATIVE Barcelona May 26, 2017
2 MARKETS, KEY TOOL TO ADDRESS CLIMATE CHALLENGES Political alignment: NDCs of 84 countries call for markets and/or carbon pricing mechanisms including 72 in developing countries Cost Savings: market efficiencies reduce costs of low carbon growth Resource mobilization: crowd-in public and private capital Cost of each country acts alone Intl cooperation through carbon market by % Intl cooperation through carbon market by % $ $ $ Source: World Bank Group,
3 AN INTERNATIONAL MARKET
4 4 Bottom-up WHERE DO MARKETS FIT UNDER PARIS? Article 6 has the opening for developing markets agreement on guidance and rules is still under negotiation by Parties Objectives Governance Metrics Using cooperative approaches to enhance mitigation ambition under NDCs Art. 6.2 Art. 6.4 Under bi- or plurilateral governance Under the authority/supervision of the COP Introduces mitigation outcomes (MOs) from any mechanism/procedure/protocol a mechanism to contribute to the mitigation of GHG and support sustainable development Top Down Parties can design and use carbon pricing instruments domestically. Today. Examples: Chile, China, India, Mexico and South Africa, among others. Markets instruments should create demand for a domestic market that will grow over time to include linkages to create an international market. Bottom-up markets appear to be the most promising approach under the Article 6.2 paradigm.
5 5 WHERE DO MARKETS FIT IN PARIS? Paris Agreement encourages mitigation action relevant to national circumstances (as reflected in their NDCs) by all Parties Comparability of the mitigation outcome of the mitigation action will be the starting point for any international transfer of the mitigation outcome Assessment of mitigation action: Use of MAAP Assessment of climate ambition: Climate Transparency initiative Country mitigation action National assessment process MOs Domesti c and/or NDC accounting Registry system ITMOs Clubs International markets
6 WHAT IS NETWORKING? Direct Linking A common market is explicitly established between Systems A and B (e.g. California-Quebec, EU-Switzerland) System A System B Indirect Linking Systems B,C, and D are indirectly linked via System A (e.g. Clean Development Mechanism) System A System B System C System D Networking Designed to link heterogeneous climate actions System A System B 6
7 WBG STRATEGY FOR CLIMATE MARKETS AND LINKAGE PROMOTING THE CASE AND EVIDENCE BASE FOR CARBON PRICING AND MARKETS e.g., Carbon Pricing Leadership Coalition; State and Trends of Carbon Pricing reports CONNECTIVITY AND GLOBAL TRANSFER PLANNING, DESIGN AND PILOTS Innovating and building readiness for climate action, including carbon pricing instruments e.g., PMR IMPLEMENTATION AND SCALE-UP Enabling scale-up of climate actions such as carbon pricing mechanisms e.g., TCAF, PAF, Ci-DEV Enabling cooperation of all types of climate actions, including carbon pricing mechanisms, through internationally connected climate and carbon markets The NCM Initiative 7
8 NCM S SHORT, MEDIUM AND LONG TERM VISION LONG TERM SHORT TERM MEDIUM TERM Design and implementation of robust, marketready mitigation actions Benchmarking Guide climate finance Comparability and transfer of mitigation outcomes: within a country between countries on a bilateral basis Comparability and linkage of mitigation outcomes between countries on a regional or multilateral basis 8
9 NCM S CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK Independent Assessment Framework Within country: use of MAAP to assess mitigation actions Between countries: use of CTi for national climate ambition International Settlement Platform International Carbon Asset Reserve Establishment of an overarching, coordinated framework to measure the relative mitigation outcomes ( mitigation value ) of different actions Track cross-border trades (manage risk of double counting) and provide possible clearing house functions A pooled reserve of carbon assets to manage carbon market related risks (e.g., price volatility, invalidity of issued and allocated carbon units) 9

34 METRIC Principles for linking and potential next steps 26th May 2017
35 METRIC Principles for linking and potential next steps 35 please note that this presentation is based on a finalised, but not yet published, paper commissioned by the Networked Carbon Markets (NCM) initiative and Carbon Pricing Leadership Coalition (CPLC)
36 METRIC Principles for linking and potential next steps 36 There are substantial cost savings to be achieved by international linking % saving Costs as a percent of global GDP % saving Without international carbon market With an international carbon markets
37 METRIC Principles for linking and potential next steps 37 But, with some exceptions, it has proved challenging 2 examples of operational links to date California Québec Tokyo - Saitama challenges trade-offs when making the choice of linking partner; negotiation of the link, which may take a long time and may be politically contested prospect that the link might be insufficiently flexible to accommodate domestic policy changes
38 METRIC Principles for linking and potential next steps 38 The METRIC principles aim to help stakeholders, understand and assess the range of linking options and design features Market Integrity ensuring that capital is allocated efficiently and avoiding disturbing the continued efficient function of carbon and related markets Environmental Integrity giving all participants, as well as external stakeholders, confidence that the linking arrangements are supporting real and additional emission reductions that will in turn support the objective of the Paris Agreement Transparency being transparent and providing all stakeholders with a clear understanding of its rationale in order to generate support, and allowing the free exchange of information between linked systems Recognize Ambition recognizing early action and avoiding incentives to reduce effort Inclusiveness facilitating and encouraging more jurisdictions to join the system, promoting greater international cooperation, and considering domestic and international equity concerns Cost Effectiveness reducing the overall cost of mitigation, including administrative and transaction costs, and improving economic efficiency
39 METRIC Principles for linking and potential next steps 39 The application of the METRIC principles may lead policymakers to consider a range of different linking options what to do when one ETS has a price floor and other does not? remove/introduce floor and direct link? surrender charges? quantitative limits? exchange rates? environmental integrity may be preserved either though standardised MRV and a direct link alternative MRV approaches and a heterogeneous link the linking paradox might be addressed by heterogeneous linking but further work needed to measure relative ambition Market integrity Environmental Integrity Recognise ambition
40 METRIC Principles for linking and potential next steps 40 A potential next step would be to model different linking options building on the application of the METRIC principles METRIC principles highlight important considerations that can inform linking design next stage could be to use these principles to develop different linking options for a particular set of market and quantitatively assess their implications building on the qualitative case study in the paper, and announced plans, this could focus on Mexico s ETS linking to carbon markets in North America

43 Linking: a great opportunity to increase ambition Reduce cost of emission reduction Increase ambition of emission reduction But linking requires: Transparency Guarantee the environmental integrity Satisfy domestic circumstances Support the global transition to sustainable development Enerdata, NCM Initiative Expert Workshop, Barcelona, 26 May
44 Linking implications of Emissions Trading Schemes + Many research works on ETS assessment: At jurisdiction level On direct linking - Few quantitative modeling exercise on networked ETS under different trading rules: Discounting permits, traded volume limitation Enerdata realized for NCM in 2016, a first modeling exercise assessing implications of different linking rules between China, South Korea and Mexico national ETS. Enerdata, NCM Initiative Expert Workshop, Barcelona, 26 May
45 First modeling exercise: Context Objective: Analyze impacts of various design options for Emissions Trading Schemes (ETS) and their potential linking: Domestic and International Discounting Values between jurisdictions Trading limitations between jurisdictions Methodology: Assessment of mitigation and financial implications of different linking rules through Marginal Abatement Cost Curves (MACCs) Use POLES global energy model to calculate MACCs for each jurisdiction at each sector level Generated MACCs express the sector transformation under a marginal carbon price incentive. They are coherent and comparable. Use EVALUATE tool to simulate linking rule scenarios Enerdata, NCM Initiative Expert Workshop, Barcelona, 26 May
46 Project result illustration Varying discounting value (DV) Discount 1 Discount Reduction target China: 0.3 South-Korea: 1 China: 0.5 South-Korea: 1 Enhanced emissions reductions Lower DV difference between jurisdictions More imports from South Korea Less reductions from China Resulting in lower Resulting in lower abatement costs in South Korea and in China carbon price in SK driven by low price in China China South Korea China South Korea China South Korea Abatement Imports Marginal cost Direct Scenario 2 Scenario Discount 3-13 Scenario Discount Linking reduction MtCO2 - China MtCO2 - South Korea -300 $/tco2 - Scenario Dir.

47 Key learnings: Varying discounting rate Discounting could enable higher emissions reduction. Varying discounting rates may enhance acceptability from jurisdictions by adjusting domestic political context (carbon price, burden cost, domestic emission reduction plans ) while ensuring the environmental integrity of the trade. Dom. ETS Direct linking China Discount 1 Discount 2 Dom. ETS South Korea Direct linking Discount 1 Discount 2 Emission reduction (MtCO2) Additional reduction (MtCO2) Imports (MtCO2) Carbon price ($/tco2) Total Abatement costs ($Bn) A way to find the best compromise between: environmental integrity & costs Enerdata, NCM Initiative Expert Workshop, Barcelona, 26 May
48 2 nd modeling exercise: Quantitative case study proposition in collaboration with Vivid Economics Realisation in 2 phases: Phase 1: Mexico-California ETS linking rules case study Phase 2: Implications for the regional Mexico-California-Quebec- Ontario ETS Proposed Phase 1 approach: a) Using POLES model to calibrate baselines for Mexico and California from which Marginal Abatement Costs (MACCs) will be generated. b) Simulate with EVALUATE tool, 6-10 scenarios of different direct and heterogeneous linking arrangements. c) Quantitative assessment of the mitigation and financial impacts of these scenarios; and identify key benefits and challenges of each scenario. d) Suggest possible solutions and next steps to address key challenges of linking Mexico and California s ETSs (Vivid Economics & Enerdata) Enerdata, NCM Initiative Expert Workshop, Barcelona, 26 May
49 Expected findings Put quantitative values on various ETS linking rule options for a practical case-study. Quantitative indicators to be provided for each scenario: Financial value/s of carbon allowances (i.e. carbon price/s); Emissions (both domestic and traded) achieved by sector; Emission intensity by sector; Total cumulative ( ) abatement costs by sector; and Net trade balance by sector; EVALUATE tool populated with Mexico and California MACCs could be provided to the WB NCM Initiative.

56 Conceptual model for NCM on DLT architecture Justin Macinante Link to published paper:
57 Map of existing, emerging and potential regional, national and sub-national carbon pricing instruments 62 Jurisdictions are currently putting a price on carbon 57
58 Different types of Linking Type of Linking Full Limited Indirect Networking Definition Compliance unit in one jurisdiction is accepted without restriction in the linked jurisdiction Compliance unit in one jurisdiction is accepted with qualitative/quantitative restrictions in the linked jurisdiction Markets are not linked directly, but have access to the same third carbon market. Fungibility of carbon assets across schemes facilitated by an Independent Assessment Framework that recognizes the differences between schemes
59 The NCM initiative The assumptions underlying NCM accord with the principles evident in the Paris Agreement: Governments need information about jurisdictions and schemes with which they might link Changes may take place in a scheme and its effectiveness over time, or with a jurisdiction s economy, so information needs to be collected and monitored on an on-going basis Similarly, market participants need information to make informed investment decisions Some governments and market participants have the resources to make these assessments, others will not Implicit that governments retain the sovereignty to act on this information as they see fit, and the hegemony over their schemes and policies
60 Key components of Networked Carbon Markets The NCM initiative is comprised of 3 key components 1 Independent assessment framework to determine the climate change mitigation value of different climate actions and enable their fungibility in the international market. 2 International Carbon Asset Reserve to support and facilitate carbon market related functions. 3 International Settlement Platform to track crossborder trades and possible clearing house function.
61 The concept of Mitigation Value is fundamental to the Independent Assessment Framework Determining mitigation value is a function of a robust MRV framework that assesses: Risk relating to the characteristics of a specific program Risk relating to the characteristics of a jurisdiction s collective low-carbon policies Risk relating to the characteristics of a jurisdiction s contribution to addressing global climate change Mitigation value 8/10/2017

63 Conceptual model for NCM on DLT architecture What is distributed ledger technology? Combination of a distributed database, with public/private key encryption, and decentralised infrastructure Doesn t offer significant functionality that couldn t be achieved otherwise BUT does provide potential for innovative solutions to data sharing and transaction management application areas
64 Conceptual model for NCM on DLT architecture Paper sets out key elements of underlying technology framework as platform for the components of inter-jurisdictional emissions trading I II III IV V VI how such a market might come into being possible alternative mechanisms for transactions institutional elements and requirements of digital infrastructure smart contracts as the key transactional component types and roles of participants other legal and regulatory concerns Smart Contracts term of art for transactional T&Cs embedded in computer code allows automatic execution, once precise conformity with T&Cs has been established
65 Conceptual model for NCM on DLT architecture Firstly, there might be rules governing jurisdictional participation and market operation, including, for example: Preservation of environmental integrity Application of the supplementarity principle Applying an national rules for acceptance or exclusion Then, there are the rules for the transaction, that might include: Seller holding the units offered for sale Buyer having the funds necessary to complete transaction Automatic application of a conversion rate between the jurisdictions On settlement, automatic updating of all copies of the ledger
66 Conceptual model for NCM on DLT architecture As set out in the paper, preconditions for a contract might typically include the following information and specifications: name and jurisdiction of seller; domestic authorization, satisfactory KYC and AML checks on seller; name and jurisdiction of buyer; domestic authorization, satisfactory KYC and AML checks on buyer; certification or proof that the transaction is accepted as not negatively impacting upon environmental integrity; certification that the transaction would not cause the buyer s jurisdiction to breach the supplementarity principle (noting that either jurisdiction may have the level set lower than maximum applicable in the distributed system as a whole); certification that the transaction would not cause either the seller or the seller s jurisdiction to breach the compliance reserve (noting that the level may have been set higher than the minimum required for the distributed system as a whole); that the conversion rate is acceptable to the buyer s jurisdiction; that both jurisdictions have provided and maintain an acceptable surety in regard to their financial obligations towards the operation of the distributed network; confirmation that the seller holds and is entitled to sell the units offered for sale; confirmation that buyer has funds to complete transaction; and the application of the correct conversion rate between jurisdictions
67 Conceptual model for NCM on DLT architecture What does it offer? (potentially!) Flexibility Cost and time efficiencies Consensus + cooperation + voluntary engagement Simplicity with certainty Transparency and confidentiality
68 Conceptual model for NCM on DLT architecture DLT element Paris Agreement Blockchain (ledger) accumulative, immutable Security of transaction (e.g., fraud prevention) Robust accounting, double-counting control auditable Distributed database, permissioning Transparency (based on permissioning) Confidentiality protected as necessary Security against IT attack (e.g., loss of data) Private/public key encryption Security against IT attack (e.g., fraud, theft) Transparency but with appropriate protection of confidentiality Decentralised infrastructure Cost efficiency Other peer-to-peer efficiency (e.g., transaction time) Regulation by code (contract terms) Environmental integrity Supplementarity National rules flexibility (sovereignty)
69 Conceptual model for NCM on DLT architecture Conceptual Model: Key elements of underlying technology framework as platform for the components of inter-jurisdictional emissions trading how such a market might come into being possible alternative mechanisms for transactions institutional elements and requirements of digital infrastructure smart contracts as the key transactional component types and roles of participants other legal and regulatory concerns Elements of the application need to be developed, especially the concept of how a value is put on the mitigation outcomes that will be transferred
