| 2. Policy Mapping: Identifying GHG Mitigation Policy Instruments Interaction and Overlap | ||
As countries identify and implement various policy instruments to scale up mitigation−including carbon pricing instruments−an important consideration is how such instrument may interact or overlap with other related policies, such as those addressing energy efficiency and renewable energy. Understanding this interaction is critical to the design and effectiveness of any climate change mitigation instrument. The first part introduced policy mapping, presenting approaches, lessons learnt, and roles of supplementary instruments. In the second part, Australia, California, and Norway shared their experience of policy mapping and assessment when designing various instruments. In the third part, China, South Africa, and South Korea presented their experiences from policy interactions. |

| 3. Effective Instruments for the Domestic Transport Sector | ||
In this session, participants discussed how carbon market instruments, alone or combined with other policies and incentives, can play a role in urban transport. There was an overview of applying policy instruments in domestic transport sectors followed by key challenges using market-based instruments. In addition, EU, California, and Switzerland shared their experience from inclusion/exclusion of the transport sector in ETSs. Moreover, three companies presented their perspectives. |
