Abstract:There is a high degree of unanimity in both academic and political circles that a sound political climate as well as renewable energy technology intervention is needed to hinder market failures and to lead development in a more sustainable direction. However, the unanimity ends when discussion about the more precise targets and instruments begins. The primary objective of this thesis was to find and compare valuable current research about policy instruments for climate policy and renewable energy generation, as well as to screen the important question-marks in the scope, and open them up for debate. The literature review was made predominantly with the help of article collections and research tools. The focus was research from the years 2003 - 2008. The paper provides an understanding of the policy backgrounds, exposes reasons behind policy choices, presents the challenging issues around the economics of climate change, proposes a selection of policy instruments and shares with the reader a wide criteria-base for judging existing and future policies. |
