And more interesting climate stuff ... wil
Dear Climate-L reader, Please find below some information on recent publications by the Brussels-based think-tank the Centre for European Policy Studies (CEPS) on climate change related topics: 1. Two recent CEPS Policy Briefs shed new light on the 'transatlantic divide' over climate change policy. Technology in a Post-2012 Transatlantic Perspective While acknowledging that the opposing positions in the EU and the US can be explained by their respective political economies, CEPS Senior Research Fellow Christian Egenhofer argues that changes are afoot that promise to improve the prospects for cooperation but that this will take time. In the meantime, he argues that the EU and the US (governments and stakeholders) should concentrate on three areas likely to be critical for the EU-US climate change agenda: a (common) sense of direction, a determination to make the EU climate change policy work and technology policy. Please download the publication at: http://shop.ceps.be/BookDetail.php?item_id=1281 Industry Location and Climate Change Policy-Making in the United States In a separate but complementary analysis, Tom Brewer of Georgetown University explores how the pluralistic nature of the US economy - including regional variations in the location of carbon-intensive industries - has a significant impact on US climate change policy-making. His paper examines regional patterns in the distribution of key industries - coal, oil & gas, and autos - and the consequences for climate policy-making.
