Book excerpt: Focusing on the practical aspects of using economic incentives to achieve environmental goals, this book analyzes the design and implementation of market based programs and identifies critical issues for creating successful programs in the future. The book examines the conditions in which market incentives are most useful and probes the important new roles of both government and the private sector. It highlights the administrative, institutional, organizational, and informational requirements for successful operation of the programs, and it especially stresses the importance of program evaluation. This analysis is based on case studies of four programs at different levels of government--local, state, federal, and overseas--that use different tools--credit trading, direct taxes, variable fee structures, and refunds: the air credit trading program in the Los Angeles metropolitan area; the national pollution charge system of Russia; the recycling initiative of King County, Washington; and the deposit refund system of Michigan. Distributed for the National Academy of Public Administration

Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2020 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: 16/20, Leuven Catholic University, language: English, abstract: As the environment becomes an increasingly important concern for companies, this paper seeks to answer the question ''When does it pay to be green?''. Event study methodology is used to investigate the stock returns following environmental Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) announcements. This study shows that environmental CSR announcements have a positive effect on shareholder value. Our theory posits that different green marketing strategies have a differential effect on shareholder value. The results of this study provide indication that an announcement of a green partnership creates more positive stock returns than an announcement of greening the organisation and that an announcement of a green product creates the least positive stock returns for the company. The product type (high-involvement product vs. low-involvement product) does not change these observations. The preferred green marketing strategy remains the announcement of a green partnership. At the end, the theoretical and managerial implications of these results and future research avenues are presented.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2010 in the subject Business economics - Business Ethics, Corporate Ethics, grade: 1,3, , language: English, abstract: This report includes broad topics such as how businesses are going greener and why they have chosen to become more environmentally friendly. Also including research about benefits, rewards and incentives that motivate companies to go green and which industry is putting in the most initiative to become eco-friendly and as conclusion we made some recommendations for the future. In our report, we try to explain that the challenge of a sustainable society is to achieve a competitive and eco-efficient economy, combining increased productivity with less consumption of natural resources. It is all about preventing the over-exploitation of environmental resources, the underutilization of labour resources, and integrating the economy with environmental sustainability criteria. Furthermore our report is going to analyze businesses‘ green initiatives and the reasoning for them doing so. The key question we try to answer is, how big of an impact are these initiatives actually having on the environment? To answer this question we analyzed articles and graphs related to environmental sustainability, governmental strategies and the impact of green businesses in order to suggest strategies to our businesses, such as tax incentives, trade agreements or export subventions on environmental friendly products. It was fundamental to make some secondary research in order to answer our key questions. The well-being of our environment is a big issue today. We are on the verge of a climate change and the consequences if we do nothing to try to stop it may be severe. Not only is this an interesting topic but it needs to be more publicized. A lot of businesses are doing their part trying to help the world and they are using many different strategies to do so. This articles show us why and exactly how organizations are going about becoming eco-friendly and if their efforts are actually helping.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • In this urgent, authoritative book, Bill Gates sets out a wide-ranging, practical—and accessible—plan for how the world can get to zero greenhouse gas emissions in time to avoid a climate catastrophe. Bill Gates has spent a decade investigating the causes and effects of climate change. With the help of experts in the fields of physics, chemistry, biology, engineering, political science, and finance, he has focused on what must be done in order to stop the planet's slide to certain environmental disaster. In this book, he not only explains why we need to work toward net-zero emissions of greenhouse gases, but also details what we need to do to achieve this profoundly important goal. He gives us a clear-eyed description of the challenges we face. Drawing on his understanding of innovation and what it takes to get new ideas into the market, he describes the areas in which technology is already helping to reduce emissions, where and how the current technology can be made to function more effectively, where breakthrough technologies are needed, and who is working on these essential innovations. Finally, he lays out a concrete, practical plan for achieving the goal of zero emissions—suggesting not only policies that governments should adopt, but what we as individuals can do to keep our government, our employers, and ourselves accountable in this crucial enterprise. As Bill Gates makes clear, achieving zero emissions will not be simple or easy to do, but if we follow the plan he sets out here, it is a goal firmly within our reach.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “This is a landmark not only of Appalachian history but of southern economic and environmental history as well.” —John C. Inscoe, author of Race, War, and Remembrance in the Appalachian South Manufacturing in the Northeast and the Midwest pushed the United States to the forefront of industrialized nations during the early nineteenth century; the South, however, lacked the large cities and broad consumer demand that catalyzed changes in other parts of the country. Nonetheless, in contrast to older stereotypes, southerners did not shun industrial development when profits were possible. Even in the Appalachian South, where the rugged terrain presented particular challenges, southern entrepreneurs formed companies as early as 1760 to take advantage of the region’s natural resources. In Mountains on the Market: Industry, the Environment, and the South, Randal L. Hall charts the economic progress of the New River Valley in the Blue Ridge Mountains of southwestern Virginia, which became home to a wide variety of industries. By the start of the Civil War, railroads had made their way into the area, and the mining and processing of lead, copper, and iron had long been underway. Covering 250 years of industrialization, environmental exploitation, and the effects of globalization, Mountains on the Market situates the New River Valley squarely in the mainstream of American capitalism. “Southernists will now refer to this book first in thinking about the historical development of the extractive industries, their impact on the environment, and what it tells us about the South.” —David Brown, coauthor of Race in the American South: From Slavery to Civil Rights “An excellent microhistory of an understudied region of the Appalachian South.” —North Carolina Historical Review
