Economic Freedom: A No-Regrets Strategy for Reducing Global Energy Consumption

Economic freedom is known to have a profound effect on the efficient allocation of resources. Without subsidies, tariffs, and other government interventions, economic activity operates in the most efficient manner because of competitive pressures to produce more with fewer inputs. This means that energy use per unit of production is decreased with the presence of free markets (Graph 2). Free ma...

Reducing coal subsidies and trade barriers: their contribution to greenhouse gas abatement

International negotiations for an agreement to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases have not produced cost-effective policies for reducing emissions, not least because they are unlikely to prevent ‘leakage’ through a re-location of carbonintensive activities to poorer countries. An alternative or supplementary approach that is more likely to achieve at least some emission reductions, and at ...

CONCEPT PAPER FOR DISCUSSION Strategies to Achieve a Reduction in Greenhouse Gas Emissions From Glass Manufacturing Facilities

The Air Resources Board (ARB) has the primary responsibility for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in California under the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (AB 32). The overall mandate is to achieve 1990 GHG emission levels by 2020. In our efforts to reduce GHG emissions mandated by AB 32, ARB staff is currently working on multiple sector-specific GHG activities. The glass manufacturi...

Sustainable urban development through complete street policy implementation

Nowadays, the expansion of the cities is an inevitable necessity; increasing the dependence of the citizens on motor vehicles and, consequently, making development of the transportation networks a necessity rather than an option. Thus, increasing car ownership and car use has created many problems for the cities, such as increasing greenhouse gas emissions, environmental pollution, casualties o...
