>
> The course compiles knowledge and lessons learned during the design phase
> of the Climate Investment Funds (CIF) investment plans and strategic
> programs. This objective of this course is to teach policymakers, planners
> and climate change practitioners how to design and finance strategic plans
> and programs for low carbon and climate resilient development that go
> beyond a project-by-project approach.
>
> Course structure is flexible and applicable to various levels of planning
> (e.g., national, sectorial, regional or municipal). In more concrete terms,
> the course aims to provide detailed know-how on the following subjects:
>
>
>
> •Preparing an overall investment strategy to meet climate change objectives
>
> •Identifying envelopes of investments to meet those objectives, focusing
> on sectorial issues (energy, transport, forestry and land-use change)
>
> •Estimating real costs of investments and identifying sources of finance
>
> •Selecting and setting up the appropriate financial instruments
>
> •Involving the private sector to scale-up action
>
> •Undertaking the appropriate underlying technical, economic and financial
> analyses
>
> •Launching a national dialogue to shape the plan and ensure public
> participation
>
> •Addressing social issues, including gender

>
> *Course Overview*
>
> As the world seeks to enhance global greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation
> efforts, countries are exploring innovative approaches to scale-up
> emissions reductions and foster private sector investment in mitigation
> technologies. Economic instruments, such as emissions trading schemes and
> carbon taxes, can help to achieve domestic emission reduction goals and
> targets in a cost-effective way. Economic instruments also encourage
> innovation and investment in clean technologies, and are means for
> countries to scale-up climate change mitigation efforts. During recent
> years, there has been increasing interest on Emissions Trading Systems
> (ETS), with new systems being implemented in California, New Zealand,
> Australia, Quebec, Kazakhstan and Korea. Concurrently, various developing
> countries are exploring the use of cap-and-trade and other market-based
> mechanisms for limiting GHG emissions in select sectors.
>
> The course Emissions Trading Systems: Using Markets to Promote Low
> Emissions Development provides an overview of the theory and practice of
> Emissions Trading Systems.
>
>
>
> *Course Objectives *
>
> The overall objective of this course is to inform policy planners and
> climate change practitioners on the rationale behind emissions trading, how
> emissions trading schemes work, their key design elements, and the key
> roles and decisions affecting emissions-trading governance.
>
>
>
> *This course provides practical knowledge and skills to: *
>
> •Appreciate the rationale for using market-based instruments in the
> context of GHG mitigation;
>
> •Understand the key principles and design elements for emissions trading
> schemes;
>
> •Discuss critically the important trade-offs inherent in ETS design and
> governance;
>
> •Learn from design and implementation experiences of existing emissions
> trading schemes around the world.
>
>
>
> *Structure of the Course*
>
> This course is divided into 2 modules. Each module contains three lessons
> embedded in multimedia presentations, exercises and quizzes. Completion of
> each module requires about 120 minutes. The learning experience is more
> rewarding if the lessons are spread out over several days or weeks
> according to the pre-arranged schedule set by your course facilitator.
>
>
>
> Module 1 – ETS Objectives, Context, Economics & Readiness
>
> This module aims to equip students with a basic of understanding of how
> emissions trading works, how it compares to other policy instruments in
> theory and practice, and which questions and factors policy-makers must
> consider in the process of designing an Emissions Trading Scheme.
>
> Module 2 – ETS Design and Governance
>
> This module aims to equip students with an understanding of basic and
> advanced issues related to the design, implementation, and governance of
> emissions trading schemes.
