Environment
In March 2010 we published a study on which sectors and companies within Sweden that stand to gain, and lose, from an increase in the price of carbon emissions. The study was received well by the Swedish audience, and also attracted interest from our network abroad. Therefore, we now publish Winners & Losers.
In a new book from the think tank Fores, the suggestion is that the world’s largest emitters constitute a separate forum for climate negotiations, supported by institutions as strong as the IMF and World Bank. In addition, its sketch up an exchange rate system for the price of carbon to create a global emissions trading.

Market solutions to environmental problems
At the heart of Fores environmental work, is to investigate and find powerful
and effective solutions to environmental and climate issues, with focus on
market-oriented measures. Game rules and instruments must be
designed to keep Sweden and the world away from dependence
of fossil fuels. Special emphasis is on managing projects
with scientific connection to environmental economics and
getting exciting findings applied to practical policy. We look
therefore closer to the design of mechanisms such as taxes,
subsidies, allowances, rules and institutions that
is pursuing this.
