Course Description

While there has been a proliferation of national and international activity to address the problem of climate change and the world’s excessive reliance on polluting fossil fuel technology, many governments still do not understand how to design, implement and monitor programs and policies to promote clean energy.

 

In this multi-disciplinary course, IP3 seeks to remedy this gap by exposing public officials to:

  • The latest advances in clean energy technologies
  • Techniques for designing policies and programs to promote the spread of these technologies using case studies and research from leading countries and international institutions and
  • Institutional mechanisms and techniques for monitoring the implementation of these clean energy strategies.


The course will involve review and discussion of tax policies, carbon credit regimes, public-private partnerships, government subsidies, energy tariffs and business regulations in connection with clean energy initiatives.

 

By the end of the course participants will have achieved the learning outcomes provided below.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Reviewing the latest international initiatives on climate change proceeding from the Durban conference
  • Analyzing the advances in energy laws and renewable portfolio standards in emerging markets
  • Integrating carbon credit programs with renewable energy projects using PPPs implement Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) and engaging the private sector to reach renewable energy targets
  • Accessing Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) funds and opportunities
  • Networking and building professional relationships with your fellow participants and leading regulatory specialists, regulators, commissioners, and energy experts
  • Visit with key multilateral agencies
