Countries can take varying approaches to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Since energy use is a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions, policies designed to increase energy efficiency or induce a switch to less greenhouse-gas-intensive fuels, such as from coal to natural gas, can reduce emissions in the short term. In the long term, however, major technology changes will be needed to establish a less carbon-intensive energy infrastructure. To that end, a U.S. policy to mitigate climate change may require facilities to achieve specified reductions or employ a market-based mechanism, such as establishing a price on emissions. Charts and tables.

GAO examined the potential effects of greenhouse gas emissions pricing on U.S. industries' international competiveness and trade measures being considered as part of U.S. Legislative proposals to address climate change. GAO examined (1) what is known about estimating industry effects; (2) examples of industries that may be vulnerable to a loss in international competiveness from emissions pricing; (3) trade measures and other approaches to address competiveness issues; and (4) potential international implications of trade measures.

Global climate change is one of the most significant long-term policy challenges facing the U.S., and policies to mitigate climate change will have important economic, social, and environmental implications. This report examines the potential effects of greenhouse gas emissions pricing on U.S. industries¿ internat. competitiveness and trade measures being considered as part of U.S. legislative proposals to address climate change. It examines: (1) what is known about estimating industry effects; (2) examples of industries that may be vulnerable to a loss in internat. competitiveness from emissions pricing; (3) trade measures and other approaches to address competitiveness issues; and (4) potential internat. implications of trade measures.

Global climate change is one of the most significant long-term policy challenges facing the United States, and policies to mitigate climate change will have important economic, social, and environmental implications. This book explores the current climate change trade measure considerations for U.S. policy makers, such as estimating industry effects, identifying potentially vulnerable industries and the international trade implications.

In anticipation of Senate deliberation on climate change legislative proposals, GAO was asked to examine how greenhouse gas emissions pricing could potentially affect the international competitiveness of U.S. industries, and to examine trade measures being considered as part of proposed U.S. climate change legislation. On July 6, 2009, we briefed ... covering: (1) what is known about estimating industry effects, (2) examples of industries that may be vulnerable to a loss in international competitiveness from emissions pricing, (3) trade measures and other approaches to address competitiveness issues, and (4) the potential international implications of trade measures. [This report is] copy of the slides presented at the briefing.

While trade exacerbates climate change, it is also a central part of the solution because it has the potential to enhance mitigation and adaptation. This timely report explores the different ways in which trade and climate change intersect. Trade contributes to the emissions that cause global warming and is itself also affected by climate change through changing comparative advantages. The report also confronts several myths concerning trade and climate change. The Trade and Climate Change Nexus: The Urgency and Opportunities for Developing Countries focuses on the impacts of, and adjustments to, climate change in developing countries and on how future trade opportunities will be affected by both the changing climate and the policy responses to address it. The report discusses how trade can provide the goods and services that drive mitigation and adaptation. It also addresses how climate change creates immense challenges for developing countries, but also new opportunities to promote trade diversification in the transition to a low-carbon world. Suitable trade and environmental policies can offer effective economic incentives to attain both sustainable growth and poverty reduction.
