Structure • General • Impact on Environment -Global CO2-Emissions -Kyoto-Protocol -Climate Index • Sweden • Germany • Switzerland • France
Climate Index • shows effort to reduce emissions - 1.-3. place isn‘t placed-> no country is active enough • within the ranking of the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) and the ranking of the EU the places are the same
Climate Index 2011 Ranking • Rang Land Punktzahl • 4 Brasil 70,5 • 5 Sweden 69,9 • 6 Norway 67,0 • 7 Germany 67,0 • 8 Great Britain 65,9 • 9 France 64,6 • 10 India 64,1 • 11 Mexico 64,0 • 12 Malta 63,8 • Switzerland 63,6 • Portugal 63,4 • … • 16 Hungary 61,8
CO2-Emissions in Sweden CO2-emissions of Sweden currently: 69,6 mio. tons (in comparison: CO2-emissions of the UK: 634,8 mio. tons) Sweden is the country with the lowest CO2-emission of the EU
Reasons • CO2 tax in 1991 • Initial payment: 27 €/CO2 ton. Today’s • payment: 108 €/CO2 ton • Reduction of CO2-emissions by 9%
Does a CO2 Tax Make Sense for Entire Europe? • CO2 tax does not affect economic growth • Swedish example as a model for entire Europe if alternative energy is also implemented in a general strategy
CO2-Emissions of Germany in million tons (2007) = 10.2% = 5.1% total Energy Business Industry Traffic Trade and Service Household =18.1% = 45.8 % = 20.8%
Recent Situation CO2-Emission of 2009 about 27% beneath levels of 1990 reached aim of 2005 fulfilled Kyoto Protocol 216 mio tons of CO2 direct emissions 406 mio tons of CO2 indirect emissions
Aim & Measures Aim: getting levels of CO2-Emissions 40% by 2020 beneath those of 1990 Measures: Government aid for users of renewable energy Consultation of companies “Cleaner cars” Storage of CO2 “Emission badge”
Switzerland The country with the enviroment friendly energy production
Aims/ Kyoto Protocol • 42.8 mio t CO2 • 1990 – 2010 -8% of CO2-emissions • -7.6 % in 2009 • 39.8 mio. t CO2 • Cut down +2%
Reasons: • CO2 free energy production • CO2 Politics • Voluntary matters of privat and economy sector • CO2-charge, if culinary matters are no effective enough • Climate methods :„EnergieSchweiz“ „Leistungsabhängige Schwerverkehrsabgabe“ (LSVA)

Measures Taken by France -Aim: France and Brasil want to reduce their emissions by 50% until 2050 -Measures: -use of atomic power (has no Co2-emissions) -environmental tax (Bonus-Malus-System) -CO2-tax (17€ per one t of CO2) -use of more solar energy, wind energy,… -interset-free eco-credits -support of companies that use clean energy
