It has also been a barrier to progress on carbon pricing. The Carbon Pricing Leadership Coalition launched the High-Level Commission on Carbon Pricing and Competitiveness at its 2018 High-Level Assembly to address the issue. The Commission is co-chaired by Feike Sijbesma, Chairman and CEO of Royal DSM, and Anand Mahindra, Chairman of Mahindra Group. OBJECTIVE The Commission serves as a platform for dialogue among business leaders to explore the evidence base, the concerns of business, and the lessons learned in the design and implementation of carbon pricing policies in the context of competitiveness.7 Report of the High-Level Commission on Carbon Pricing and Competitiveness COCHAIRS MEMBERS Anand Mahindra, Chairman, Mahindra Group Feike Sijbesma, Chairman and Chief Executive O“cer, Royal DSM Hakan Hamdi Bulgurlu, Chief Executive O“cer, Arçelik Felipe Calderón, Former President, Mexico; President, Human Sustainable Development Foundation; Honorary Chair, Global Commission on the Economy and Climate Goh Swee Chen, Former Chairman, Shell Companies in Singapore; President, Global Compact Network Singapore Jos Delbeke, Former DG-Climate Action, European Commission; Professor, European University Institute, Florence, and KU Leuven, Belgium Lim Ah Doo, Chairman, Olam International Ltd.

KEY FINDINGS 1. Climate change poses a real threat to our industries and economies and needs to be addressed as a matter of urgency. The cost-eective transition to a net zero-carbon economy by the middle of the century is important to avoid the most severe impacts on our climate and to maintain the productivity of our economies. 2. Carbon pricing is an eective, ﬂexible, and low-cost approach to reducing greenhouse gases GHGs. Combined with other policies, carbon pricing can help accelerate and ensure a smooth transition to a low-carbon economy. 3. Carbon pricing is intended to drive a shift away from high-emissions products to low- emissions products and processes. Some ﬁrms that compete against these low-emissions substitutes may experience a loss of market share and reduced proﬁts even as others adapt, increase their proﬁtability and develop new business models. 4. Concerns exist that, due to dierential carbon prices between jurisdictions, there is the potential risk that high-carbon economic activity may move to regions without a carbon price or with a lower price. This could result in decreased proﬁts and job losses. It could also exacerbate political push-back and undermine the intended environmental outcome of reduced GHG emissions. If this “carbon leakage” occurs, it would be a lose-lose a loss of competitiveness or economic activity without an environmental gain. 5. There is little evidence to date that carbon pricing has resulted in the relocation of the production of goods and services or investment in these products to other countries. This outcome is consistent with the economic literature assessing the competitive impact of environmental regulation more broadly. There may be several reasons for this, including the observation that carbon price levels have generally been moderate and existing programs include protection for at-risk sectors. In addition, tax rates, labor availability, and infrastructure may be more signiﬁcant to investment decisions regarding location of production than environmental regulations. 6. While competitiveness remains a key concern for policymakers considering a price on carbon, these concerns should not be overstated. Competitive risks exist primarily for highly emissions-intensive and trade-exposed EITE sectors and jurisdictions that depend on such sectors. These risks can and should be addressed through a suite of locally tailored policy design choices intended to protect industry from unfair international competition even as they ensure that the incentive and support for low-carbon innovation remains. 7. There are a variety of options to address competitiveness risks, including free allocation of emission rights and border measures. However, these should be based on a location- speciﬁc, data-driven evaluation of impacts. Once implemented, these measures should be periodically reevaluated to ensure their eectiveness and usefulness. To that end, data transparency from industry, at least with government o“cials, is particularly important for assessing how and when intervention is necessary.9 Report of the High-Level Commission on Carbon Pricing and Competitiveness 8. As ambition levels increase to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement, two countervailing eects may be relevant for competitiveness impacts. On the one hand, greater ambition will generally mean higher carbon price levels leading to the potential for more signiﬁcant competitiveness impacts for EITE industries. On the other hand, as more countries adopt climate policies and develop linkages between carbon markets, dierences in carbon prices among countries and regions should become smaller, alleviating competitiveness concerns. 9. Concerns about competitiveness implications should not preclude carbon pricing or keep regions from increasing carbon prices or emission targets over time to levels needed to implement the Paris Agreement, for example as set out in the Stern-Stiglitz report CPLC 2017, namely 40–80/tCOe by 2020 and 50–100/tCOe by 2030. 10. Carbon pricing, along with complementary measures, can also drive innovation, investment and substantial growth in some sectors. The investment opportunities that arise from decarbonization are considerable, as is the potential for the development of new industries and innovation within existing ones. Carbon pricing can also generate revenues to further program or national objectives and to support those who might be negatively impacted. 11. Innovation and investment, as well as stable and predictable policies, are crucial to the transition to a low-carbon economy. Policy clarity, with strong governmental commitment to meaningful policy which increases in stringency over time, can help ensure that companies and regions remain competitive in global markets. Furthermore, large mainstream investors are increasingly factoring in the development and implementation of low-carbon strategies when evaluating their portfolios.10 Report of the High-Level Commission on Carbon Pricing and Competitiveness II. PURPOSE, SCOPE AND METHODOLOGY Industry and policymakers considering the introduction of carbon pricing are often concerned that putting a price on carbon in the form of a tax or an emissions trading system may have adverse eects on the competitiveness of a carbon-intensive ﬁrm, sector, or country. For industry the concern is partially about the low-carbon transition challenge, and partially about the potential for international competitors to have an unfair advantage if they do not face a similar carbon price. While both factors may be signiﬁcant to the overall competitiveness of a ﬁrm, the primary policy focus of most carbon pricing competitiveness discussions is on international competitiveness. This is primarily because of the potential to shift production, investment, and jobs, resulting in non-achievement of the environmental objective. This does not mean that the transition challenge is not signiﬁcant for some industries, sectors, or regions, but rather that it is not typically thought of as “unfair” or unintentional. Providing an incentive that lowers emissions is the goal of carbon pricing; if emissions are simply moved elsewhere, or “leaked” to a region without similarly stringent climate regulations, that goal is not achieved. An increasingly large body of literature both peer-reviewed and from industry has examined the international competitiveness issue, both from
