Introduction to Environmental 美国环保协会介绍
Economic Incentives 经济刺激
US Experience美国经验 • Partnership with Government 和政府结成伙伴关系 • Design of the US Acid Rain Emissions Trading Program美国酸雨排污交易项目 • Development of Water Markets in the Western states美国西部水权交易市场 • Partnership with Companies 和公司结为伙伴关系 • Development of BP’s internal GHG trading system BP内部的温室气体交易系统 • Development of a new delivery vehicle with FedEx 联邦快递的低污染递送汽车 • Environmentally friendly packaging with MacDonald’s麦当劳的环境友好型包装 • Nanotechnology evaluation program with DuPont 杜邦的纳米技术评估项目
Experience Gained in the US美国经验 • Market-based environmental policies are more effective in controlling pollution and cutting the cost of control 市场机制的环境政策能有效的控制污染且降低费用 • MBIs can be applied to a wide array of environmental and natural resource problems市场机制在环境和自然资源方面应用广泛 • Water水 • Acid Rain酸雨 • Climate Change气候变化
Problem of Inadequate Instream Flows PHYSICAL - DAMS AND WATER DIVERSIONS大坝和分水之物理特性 • Dams destroy habitat, block fish passage and alter seasonal river flows.大坝破坏栖息环境、阻隔鱼类通道、改变季节性流量 • Water diversions reduce stream flows.分水减少流量
Causes (II)原因 • Legal法律 - Water rights水权 • Over-appropriation of water rights • Laws do not adequately protect instream flows • Inadequate water transfer laws & regulation • Economic经济 - Inefficient allocation of water between competing uses水权不合理的分配 • Lack of sufficient price signals • High “transaction” costs • Failure to recognize instream flow values
Degraded River System河流的退化 Yuba River, CA
The Solution: Water Markets解决:水权市场 • Re-allocate water between competing uses重新分配水权 • A “win-win” approach to meeting human needs and restoring damaged water resources • Provides appropriate price signals to encourage more efficient resource use and conservation • Alternative to building new, environmentally damaging dams & water storage projects • Acquire environmental water supplies to restore & protect river ecosystems获得环境水供给以储存和保护河流生态系统 • Creates economic incentive for private water rights holders to reduce water use and sell or transfer conserved water • Stimulates ongoing water market development
The Solution: Environmental Water Acquisitions解决:环境水权获得
Water PurchasersWestern States (1990-2000)西部水权购买(1999-2000) Source: The Water Strategist by Stratecom, Inc. Total Transactions = 1,664
