GCPJU>> WORKSHOPS ORGANISED BY GLOBAL CHANGE PROGRAMME
International
Sectoral Approaches and Agreement:
Case Studies
of Steel Sector in India, China and Japan
Climate
Strategies propose to study potential role of
sectoral agreements in post 2012 climate regime
under the project ‘International sectoral
approaches and agreements: case studies of the
steel sector in China, India and Japan’. Global
Change Programme, Jadavpur University is one of
the partner institutions in this effort.
The aim is to
develop an analytical framework following a
bottom up industry specific approach with
special focus to steel industry. By doing so, we
seek to answer seven research questions
regarding the nature and types of sectoral
agreements, key issues in designing the sectoral
agreement, features of international sectoral
agreements, co-existence of sectoral agreement
and emission trading schemes, how it contributes
to overall low carbon emission and the key
issues regarding implementation.
The work plan is
first to identify the structure and technology
in existing steel industries around the world,
recognizing the upstream and downstream sector
boundaries and to explore the relationship of
sectoral approaches to emission trading and
project mechanisms. The emphasis would be on
issues such as the role of sectoral arrangements
under discussion towards a low carbon growth
path, the possibility of existence of a
simultaneous carbon market and the scope of
technology transfer given sectoral agreements.
Next part of the
project aims to do a case study of steel
industries in India, China and Japan. It focuses
on the impact of sectoral agreement on four
distinct areas: cost of production, production,
trade and green house gas emission of the steel
industries of these countries. There are certain
difficulties of implementing sectoral approaches
which could be both practical and political. It
is also expected to vary from country to
country. The plan is to analyze these
implementation issues across India, china and
Japan.
We would like
participants to contribute by sharing their
suggestion, understanding about the possible
pros and cons of the sectoral approach from the
point of view of individual companies in the
industry. The participants will have options to
get acknowledged or remain anonymous in any
further document prepared as follow up of the
programme.
This discussion
session will give opportunity to get cross
country view points as well.
