Innovative financial mechanisms such as the International Finance Facility, carbon off setting, emissions trading, international taxation and the potential of debt for nature swaps should be further explored.

Such carbon finance can also tackle deforestation, which represents about 20 of the global CO2 emissions causing climate change. A forest carbon facility can reward forest conservation as a means of protecting the climate while also preserving ecosystems and generating income for poor communities in developing countries.

But carbon dioxide is carbon dioxide.

The World Bank has been instrumental in advancing carbon finance as a viable development tool, and in facilitating private sector participation in the market. The Bank is focused on representing the interests of its borrowing countries, helping them to develop assets for carbon trading according to their own priorities.

First, a carbon price in the range of 20 25 per ton of CO2 by 2020 is key to mobilizing climate finance at this level. Carbon prices expand the potential for both public and private financing by raising public revenue and creating private sector demand for emission reductions.

You would have a fluorine, carbon, carbon, chlorine.

You have a carbon connected to only a fluorine, a chlorine connected to the carbon, a hydrogen connected to the carbon, a bromine connected to the carbon.

The UN s 2012 World Economic and Social Survey on new development finance discusses various existing and proposed innovations in financing, intermediation, and disbursement. Aside from allocating and trading greenhouse gas (mainly carbon or carbon equivalent ) emissions allowances, solidarity levies could be imposed on airplane tickets, and taxes imposed on aviation or ship fuel.

For starters, finance provides an accurate yardstick to gauge if deeds are consistent with words. In 2011, Unburnable Carbon, a path breaking report by the nongovernmental Carbon Tracker Initiative, showed that the proven fossil fuel reserves owned by governments and private companies exceed by a factor of five the quantity of carbon that can be burned in the next 50 years if global warming is to be kept below two degrees Celsius.

That is a chiral center, or chiral carbon, or chiral atom, or asymmetric carbon.

Carbon is banned.

However, if countries invest wisely in the transition to a low carbon economy, they will stimulate innovation and generate decades of sustainable growth. Thus, it is important that climate finance be used to foster public and private investment in low carbon infrastructure and technologies, particularly to lower the cost of capital, which is crucial to scale up projects and encourage renewable energy adoption.

Some SWFs in the Middle East and Asia seem to understand the risks associated with carbon heavy investment portfolios, and are ready to work together to create a platform to finance resource efficient, low carbon, environmentally friendly infrastructure projects. Indeed, the idea was discussed in January at the World Future Energy Summit and the International Renewable Energy Conference in Abu Dhabi.

Increasing carbon accumulation in forests can be achieved by creating or enhancing carbon sinks (through afforestation, reforestation, improved silvicultural practices) or by preventing or reducing the rate of release of carbon already fixed in existing carbon sinks (through preventing deforestation improved silvicultural practices).

CA All right, so you don't support a carbon tax of any kind or a price on carbon.

This means lower carbon footprint.

Let's see, this carbon right here is bonded to a chlorine, a hydrogen, a bromine, and then another carbon.

Green carbon, which is the deforestation and agricultural emissions, and blue carbon together comprise 25 percent of our emissions.

Green and Galiana propose limiting carbon pricing initially to a low tax (say, 5.00 a ton) to finance energy research and development. Over time, they argue, the tax should be allowed to rise slowly to encourage the deployment of effective, affordable technology alternatives.

Shenzhen recently held a special training on finance and tax for the Internet finance industry, with finance and tax experts offering suggestions to the city's Internet finance enterprises.

There is a carbon calculator. Participant Productions convened, with my active involvement, the leading software writers in the world on this arcane science of carbon calculation to construct a consumer friendly carbon calculator.

For example, Point Carbon (emission trading market) quotes the price of carbon as the European Union Allowance (EUA), which changes daily, and the World Bank (carbon fund) indicates USD 3 5 tCO2 for the Prototype Carbon Fund and EUR 5 6 tCO2 for the Netherlands Clean Development Facility.

Now, as we breathe, we produce carbon dioxide, and that carbon dioxide needs to be scrubbed out of the system.

It's called a carbon oxygen dwarf.

Given the long lead time between project preparation and the first benefits of emissions reductions, project developers have only a few years to act before carbon payments cease to make a meaningful contribution to project finance in the current context. Developing infrastructure projects is a long process that requires 3 7 years from identification, through licensing, financing, and construction, and finally to the first certification of carbon emission reductions.

But, without a commitment by governments to limit greenhouse gas emissions beyond 2012, the carbon market will remain uncertain, and the private sector vital to the market s success is unlikely to expand its participation in a meaningful and sustained way. According to a recent World Bank supported survey of companies interested in carbon finance, only one in five respondents declared that they were interested in buying post 2012 emissions reductions.

What we're also missing is blue carbon, which, by the way, is the largest store of carbon more than 55 percent.

This figure was calculated based on Erik Haites (2004), Estimating the Market Potential for the Clean Development Mechanism Review of Models and Lessons Learned, a report commissioned by the World Bank Carbon Finance Business PCFplus Research Program, the IEA and the International Emissions Trading Association.
