In order to strengthen cooperation on and deepen analysis of issues related to sustainable development, the Swedish Government has set up an advisory Commission on Sustainable Development. The Commission serves as a forum for discussion, analysis and dialogue. It is chaired by the Prime Minister and consists of members from the business sector, non-government organisations, the research community and political life.

The Commission has adopted open working methods in the hope of encouraging broader dialogue in the community. The Commission may order studies and shorter reports from experts in Sweden or other countries. Such reports are published under the responsibility
of the author(s).

 

Climate change is perhaps the most complicated issue facing the international community today. At the end of this year, governments from all countries of the world will gather in Copenhagen and try to negotiate a successor to the Kyoto protocol. The outcome of these negotiations is crucial in many respects.

With a view to stimulating discussion on the potential environmental and economic consequences, the Commission asked the company Point Carbon to analyse various possible outcomes of the negotiations. Point Carbon has long experience of carbon emission markets and has followed the international climate negotiations for many years. This analysis has been presented to the Commission by Kristian Tangen, Point Carbon. Point Carbon is solely responsible for the analysis, proposals and opinions presented in the report.
