Report from NESTA: Innovation in Environmental Services

Submitted by admin on 19 April 2011 - 7:22pm

Extract from report: "This report - prepared for BERR and NESTA (in consultation with an Industry Steering Group) as part of their Innovation in Services initiative – examines innovation in the sector, with a particular focus on consultancy and waste management. However, one key point which has emerged is the existence of a broader, very large, but as yet little known, ‘resource efficiency’ sub-sector encompassing activities such as remanufacturing."

in this video, Robert Stavins, professor at Harvard's Kennedy School Government, argued firmly for carbon pricing, stating "no other approach can provide meaningful carbon reductions." He laid out two instruments for carbon pricing: taxing CO2 emissions and issuing tradable carbon permits that major league polluters must buy for each ton of CO2 they send into the atmosphere.
