The climate policy toolkit has, to-date, mostly focused on demand side policies (i.e. policies that affect the pollution demand curve), some of which are ‘command-and control’ and others are market based (e.g. cap-and-trade schemes, carbon taxes). (a) Using a diagram or diagrams, explain how a cap-and-trade scheme could result in pollution reduction. (b) What is the Emissions Reduction Fund and what are its pros and cons? 1 (c) Of the following four policy options, which one do you favour as a demandside policy and why? i. command-and-control in terms of a demand side climate change ii. carbon tax iii. Emissions Reduction Fund iv. cap-and-trade scheme
