Optimise the policy mix

1. Put a price on
emissions in

the form of taxes or


emissions trading
systems

2. Replace

regulations

designed for a fossil


world with ones
that will allow clean
energy technologies to
penetrate

3. Mobilise

investment
capital behind clean
technologies

4. Ensure that the

costs of the
transition arent
loaded onto those

least able to
afford the change
