Abstract

Neue Berechnungen des Bundesumweltministeriums zeigen, dass Deutschland wahrscheinlich die angestrebten Klimaziele für das Jahr 2020 deutlich verfehlen wird. Wie sollte die Klimapolitik neugestaltet werden, und welche Anreizsysteme sind für eine effektive und ökonomisch sinnvolle Klimapolitik notwendig? Ergänzend zu den Beiträgen im ifo Schnelldienst 1/2018 legen Andreas Löschel und Oliver Kaltenegger, Universität Münster, dar, dass die Entwicklungen der letzten Jahre die Schwächen des gegenwärtigen klimapolitischen Instrumentenmixes deutlich aufgezeigt haben. Die deutsche Klimapolitik liefere nicht, es bedürfe vielmehr einer zügigen und entschlossenen Neuausrichtung der Klimapolitik. Ein ökonomisch sinnvoller Ansatz zur Erreichung der Ziele des Energiekonzepts bestehe in einer möglichst umfassenden und einheitlichen CO2-Bepreisung als Leitinstrument und komplementären Instrumenten zur Adressierung zusätzlicher Marktunvollkommenheiten. Die Einführung des Leitinstruments sollte sich an folgenden Ausgestaltungsprinzipien orientieren: langfristige Orientierung, Aufkommensneutralität, Wettbewerbs- und Innovationsfähigkeit, internationale Koordination und soziale Gerechtigkeit.
