The Macroeconomic Effects of the
Transition to a Low-Carbon Economy
Executive Summary
• Coordinated international action on climate change has the potential to raise
global incomes; provide additional rural employment, especially in areas with
limited alternative opportunities in developing countries; and improve human
well-being through reduced air pollution
• However, the year-to-year effects of policies are likely to be so small as to be lost
in the overall fluctuations in the growth of GDP, because well-designed policies will
operate slowly and gradually (unlike the sudden oil-price effects of 2007-2008),
aiming to replace fossil-fuel equipment with low-carbon alternatives at the end
of its working life.
• Well-designed international policies could achieve the G8 50 percent reduction
target by 2050, or earlier as implied by the EU’s 2˚C target, with net benefit to global
and national economies.
• Coordination reduces the investment costs, inducing technological change via
agreements to establish global carbon prices, share new low-carbon technologies,
apply standards of carbon efficiency, and open up markets to encourage
economies of scale and specialisation.
• G lobalisation of information and markets works in favour of rapidly reducing
the costs of low-carbon processes and products through accelerated adoption,
provided the market signals and incentives are favourable.
• The critical market signals and incentives come through carbon prices, created
by carbon taxation and emission trading schemes (“cap and trade”). Carbon prices
have to be “loud, long and legal” to be effective in influencing investment decisions.
• Low-carbon investments represent long-term benefits through reduced fuel costs
and improved performance (beginning with the “no regrets” mitigation potentials
identified by the IPCC) but short
