SUMMARY:Technical expert group on fossil fuel subsidy indicator for SDG12c
DESCRIPTION:In the context of monitoring progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)\, UN Environment is the custodian of indicator 12.c.1 on fossil fuel subsidies. To support the development of a methodology to measure fossil fuel subsidies\, UN Environment\, in collaboration with the Italian G7 Presidency\, convened a meeting of technical experts on 29 September 2017 in Rome\, Italy.\n\nUN Environment commissioned and presented a methodological options paper\, which is being developed by the Global Subsidies Initiative (GSI) and the Organizations for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). This meeting provided an opportunity for experts to consider and discuss some of the key issues to be agreed upon in developing the methodology to measure fossil fuel subsidies.\n\nThe meeting briefing and agenda are available for download\, as well as the following presentations made during the session.\n\n 	Opening remarks and G7/G20 Updates on Fossil Fuel Subsidies\, Aldo Ravazzi Douvan (Government of Italy)\n 	Measuring and Monitoring Fossil Fuel Subsidies\, Joy Kim (UN Environment)\n 	How will the 2030 Agenda be Monitored? Jillian Campbell (UN Environment)\n 	Monitoring SDG Indicator 12.c.1 on Fossil Fuel Subsidies: Options Paper\, Peter Wooders (GSI) and Ronald Steenblik (OECD)\n 	India’s Indicator Framework and Target 12.c\, Avneet Kaur (Government of India)

SUMMARY:18th Global Conference on Environmental Taxation (GCET18)
DESCRIPTION:The Global Conference on Environmental Taxation (GCET) has been held every year since 2000\, bringing together specialists from around the world and providing a forum for the exchange of ideas and research findings on environmental taxation and other market-based instruments. GCET18 was hosted by the University of Arizona James E. Rogers College of Law and focused on Innovation Addressing Climate Change Challenges: Local and Global Perspectives.\n\nTopics explored at the conference included:\n\n 	Climate change policy\, biodiversity protection\, environmental stewardship\, pollution control\, water conservation\, land degradation\, renewable energy\, mining and rehabilitation.\n 	Market instruments such as carbon pricing\, emissions trading schemes\, other environmental taxes\, subsidies\, direct action or spending programs and tax concessions both positive and perverse.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSelected papers from the Global Conferences are published in Critical Issues in Environmental Taxation.\n\nFor information about the conference\, visit the GCET18 website.

SUMMARY:The Uncertain Transition Away From Coal — Stories from China and the United States
DESCRIPTION:After many years of US-China collaboration on clean energy and greenhouse gas mitigation\, the world’s two largest energy consumers have found themselves at the crossroads and taking different paths. The Trump administration has demonstrated an intent to funnel new policy support toward coal fired power and to cut back programs that encourage renewables. China\, while still expected to lead the world in coal consumption for the foreseeable future\, is undergoing a massive transformation in its coal sector. This event organized by the China Environmental Forum (CEF) discusses the significant reforms reducing pollution and carbon emissions from China’s coal-fired power sector and the social and economic challenges China must address as it moves away from fossil fuels. Speakers include Melanie Hart (Center for America Progress)\, Hongxia Duan and Lucy Kitson from the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD). The latter will discuss IISD’s study on the impacts of the phase out of coal subsidies and coalmine restructuring in Shanxi\, one of China’s three main coal-mining regions where the challenges of transition is expected to be the most severe. For further information\, visit the event webpage on the Wilson Center website.

SUMMARY:Energy Transitions\, Fossil Fuel Subsidies and International Law
DESCRIPTION:Climate scientists have argued that oil\, gas and coal reserves must remain unexploited to limit global warming increases to 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. Yet governments are continuing to provide financial support for the increased production and consumption of such reserves. This lecture organised by the European University Institute (EUI) by Dr Margaret A. Young (Associate Professor\, Melbourne Law School) demonstrates that states have fragmented international legal obligations regarding support for fossil fuel production. It traverses the trade regime’s disciplines on subsidies\, the climate regime’s concept of territorially-bounded emissions and customary international law notions of due diligence. It compares the position of energy exporting states (such as Australia) in each of these governance frameworks\, drawing wider implications for an equitable\, effective and legitimate transition to a low carbon economy. For further details and to register please visit the EUI website.

SUMMARY:Fisheries subsidies – The path toward a sustainable global agreement
DESCRIPTION:Fisheries subsidies are estimated to amount to $35 billion\, of which a large proportion directly or indirectly contributes to over-fishing. These subsidies have perverse impacts on the environment\, food security\, poverty elimination\, livelihoods\, employment and the economy. This side event organised by UNCTAD\, FAO and UN Environment at the The Ocean Conference discussed pathways to achieve a global agreement that ends such subsidies to level the playing field\, protect oceans and their valued resources.
