Social Value

Fighting climate change

Fighting climate change

We support Climate policies that:

· Achieve net GHG reductions through sustainable science and innovation practices to maintain energy affordability through improved efficiencies, while also developing solutions for low-carbon and circular economies.

· Engage global stakeholders from all sectors of society to encourage integration of national and regional climate and energy policies while still providing adequate flexibility to fit local, national or regional circumstances.

· Maximize impact by addressing the largest GHG reduction opportunities first, using the most cost-effective alternatives.

· Establish transparent and predictable economic incentives that facilitate the transition to a low-carbon economy.

· Acknowledge the role renewable and bio-based feedstocks can play in creating essential products and solutions while minimizing carbon emissions.

· Encourage the recovery, reuse and recycle of materials in a reduced-emissions circular economy.

· Support both mitigation and adaptation strategies that include life-cycle considerations.

· Include transparent monitoring, reporting and verification systems (MRV).

We agree with the principle that an economywide price on carbon is the best way to use the power of the market to achieve carbon reduction goals, in a simple, coherent and efficient manner. Markets will also spur innovation and create and preserve quality jobs in a growing low-carbon economy.
