Countries with more transparency, longevity and certainty in their climate policy frameworks will attract more investment and build new, clean industries, technologies and jobs faster than their policy laggard counterparts. Japan’s nuclear disaster and soaring oil prices due to Middle East unrest are set to mark 2011 as a key inflection point in the global energy mix and as catalysts for transition towards cleaner, sustainable and more secure energy supplies. The policy momentum of mandates, emission targets and supporting policies in the Clean Energy Ministerial countries and key US states, are tracked.
