In 1997, the first obligatory targets for greenhouse gas emission rates were defined by the Kyoto Protocol, and Austria, within the scope of an internal EU burden sharing agreement, agreed to cut its emissions by 13 percent against the 1990 level. The Kyoto Protocol raised great expectations with regard to reducing anthropogenic effects on the climate change. In November 2000, the Sixth Session of the UN FCCC Conference of the Parties (COP 6) will be held in The Hague. Its outcome is likely to affect the probability that the Kyoto Protocol will be ratified. Achieving the emission targets is to be facilitated by the introduction of so-called flexible mechanisms laid down in the Kyoto Protocol, which include emission trading. A key aspect of emission trading is its economic efficiency, i.e., it provides a market mechanism to ensure that necessary reductions will be made where their costs are lowest. Emission trading is also effective from an environmental policy point of view because it makes sure that the specified environmental goal will be attained. The trade in emission licences offers an incentive to exceed individual goals and thus be able to sell surplus licences. This provides an incentive to search for cost-effective ways to reduce emissions, which in turn promotes technical change and the development of environmentally friendly technologies. Key aspects of the framework for national CO2 emission trading system are the sectoral emission structure and existing taxes on energy. From the sectoral emission structure in Austria it can be seen that CO2 emissions in manufacturing are concentrated on a few sectors and a small number of companies. With regard to energy-related taxes, consideration should be given to how taxation can be used for companies and sectors which do not participate in the emission trading system.","onlinedate":"2000-11-17 12:00:00","lang":"German","publication_series":"","publication_date":"20001101","publication_date_year":"","publication_date_full":false,"publication_num_pages":"","keywords":"[\"CO2 Emission Trading \u2013 Instrument einer \u00f6sterreichischen Klimastrategie; CO2 Emission Trading \u2013 A Tool for the Austrian Climate Strategy\"]","jelcodes":"[]","related_publications":"[]","pdf":428021,"zip":null,"link":"","monthly_report":true,"monthly_report_main":false,"monthly_report_volume":"73","monthly_report_pages":"663-673","monthly_report_pages_sort":"663","issue":"11","journal":"WIFO-Monatsberichte","publisher":"","invisible":false,"external":false,"embargo_date":"2000-11-17 12:00:00","types":[44312],"research_groups":[3655],"collaboration":"","persons":[3659,3671],"persons_data":"[{\"personId\":3659,\"personName\":\"Daniela Kletzan\",\"organisationNames\":[]},{\"personId\":3671,\"personName\":\"Angela K\u00f6ppl\",\"organisationNames\":[]}]","clients":[],"subclients":[],"partners":[],"topics":[],"host_publication_title":"","host_publication_subtitle":"","place_of_publication":"","host_publication_editors":"[]","type_description":"","output_media":"","chapter":"","article_number":"","scientific_assistance":"[]","scientific_review":"[]","version":"","release_date":null,"expiration_date":null,"surveyor":"","research_assistance":"","edv":"","additional_info_de":"","additional_info_en":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) -
