INTERNATIONAL TRENDS • China, Japan, and the EU have developed specific industrial emission reduction strategies. • Over 40 countries use some form of carbon-pricing mechanism. • As of 2017, almost 1,400 companies worldwide were disclosing their current or planned use of carbon pricing. • According to Bloomberg New Energy Finance, global clean energy investment in 2017 was $333.5 billion. • The United States fell behind 11 countries in Europe and Asia in terms of government investment in energy RD&D (as a % of GDP) in 2015. 13
CHINA AS A CASE STUDY • Restricting growth of energy- and carbon-intensive industries. • Made in China: Cut energy intensity 18% by 2020 and 34% by 2025. • Emissions Trading System. • Progress in next-generation technologies. 23
JOBS FOR AMERICAN WORKERS • Large portion of manufacturing workers are employed in the production of energy efficiency and low carbon emission technologies • ~300,000 employed in energy efficiency manufacturing • ~500,000 employed in manufacturing component parts that increase vehicle fuel economy • 1 in 5 construction workers (~1.27 million) build/install energy efficient technologies 8
