PART 2
OVERVIEW OF POLICES AND INSTRUMENTS TO PROMOTE CLEAN TECHNOLOGIES IN THE NORDIC COUNTRIES
The second part of the report presents an in-dept analysis of economic instruments the Nordic countries have implemented to promote clean technologies. Across six different chapters, we examine specific issues that covers cost-effectiveness, the EU Emissions Trading System, the choice of instruments that can influence the conditions for implementing a green industrial policy, correspondence between policies and the academic literature as well as a discussion on how small countries like the Nordic ones can affect the global environment by promoting clean technology and a shift towards a fossil free production. In addition to literature studies, the analysis is based upon eleven interviews with experts within policy, environmental and economic instruments in all of the Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden). The aim of the interviews was to complement the desk research conducted in the initial stage.
