Abstract

The initial key international climate policy and carbon market hub was the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. Over time several international organizations and networks have been added to the “international carbon market web,” such as several World Bank (WB) initiatives. As to the latter, the Carbon Pricing Leadership Coalition (CPLC) was launched in 2015. A key question then becomes: considering an increasingly dense international environment, why was the Coalition formed? Our analysis shows the importance of taking into account institutional pathways in the Bank itself and the character of previous WB-internal initiatives. However, it is particularly important to note interaction with a strong external pull, stemming both from more “systemic” developments such as the collapse of the Clean Development Mechanism system and the explicit request for new initiatives from key actors, such as UN General Secretary Ban-Ki Moon. We suggest seeing entrepreneurship from the bureaucracies of international organizations as conditional on member-state behavior or a conducive institutional environment (or both). We also discuss main prospects ahead, both for the Coalition and the more general organizational set-up in this issue-area. Here we draw attention to the role of the WB as an international “heavyweight” and CPLC and Bank meetings held back to back.

召集重量级人物：世界银行为何建立碳定价领导者联盟，以及可能取得的成就

摘要

最初的主要国际气候政策和碳市场中心是《联合国气候变化框架公约》。随着时间的流逝，一些国际组织和网络已被添加到“国际碳市场网”中，例如世界银行（WB）的多项举措。对于后者，碳定价领导者联盟（CPLC）于2015年成立。然后，一个关键问题成为：考虑到日益密集的国际环境，联盟为何成立？我们的分析表明，必须考虑到世行本身的机构路径以及世行内部先前举措的特征。但是，特别重要的是要注意相互作用与强大的外部吸引力，源于清洁发展机制系统崩溃之类的更多“系统性”发展，以及联合国秘书长潘基文等主要行为者明确要求采取新举措。我们建议将国际组织的官僚机构的企业家精神视为成员国行为或有利的制度环境（或两者兼有）的条件。我们还将讨论联盟的主要前景以及该问题领域中更一般的组织机构。在这里，我们提请注意世界银行作为国际“重量级”组织的作用，以及召开CPLC和银行会议的背靠背。我们建议将国际组织的官僚机构的企业家精神视为成员国行为或有利的制度环境（或两者兼有）的条件。我们还将讨论联盟的主要前景以及该问题领域中更一般的组织机构。在这里，我们提请注意世界银行作为国际“重量级”组织的作用，以及召开CPLC和银行会议的背靠背。我们建议将国际组织的官僚机构的企业家精神视为成员国行为或有利的制度环境（或两者兼有）的条件。我们还将讨论联盟的主要前景以及该问题领域中更一般的组织机构。在这里，我们提请注意世界银行作为国际“重量级”组织的作用，以及召开CPLC和银行会议的背靠背。
