| Summary: | Tradeable or transferable permits (TPs) are increasingly recognised as a cost-effective and flexible policy instrument for pollution control and natural resources management. Initially, they were considered a policy tool whose applications were limited to only certain sectors, such as air pollution management and fisheries. However, over the last few years, there have been significant developments in the use of domestic TPs, across a broader range of environmental issues. This publication presents the proceedings of an OECD workshop on domestic TPs held in September 2001 in Paris. It provides analyses of recent developments in the use of TPs in new areas including: climate change, renewable energy, transport, solid waste management, and water resources management. It reviews key elements of ex post evaluations of earlier TP schemes, identifies key challenges in the design and use of TP systems, highlights issues regarding the use of TPs in policy mixes, and attempts to link the past lessons to further research needs. |
