Call for papers
Organisations: ADBI, the Ministry of Finance of Indonesia, and University of Indonesia
Location: Yogyakarta, Indonesia
Date: 25-26th August 2020
Deadline for submission of extended abstract: 30th April 2020
ADBI, the Ministry of Finance of Indonesia, and University of Indonesia invite the submission of original, unpublished thematic or case studies on the role of fiscal policy instruments in green development to be presented at a policy workshop in Yogyakarta, Indonesia on 25-26th August 2020. The application deadline for extended abstracts is 30th April 2020.
Four years after world leaders signed the Paris climate agreement, global carbon emissions continue to increase. In 2018 and 2017, investment in renewables and energy efficiency declined by 1% and 3%, respectively, and there is a risk that it will slow further. Pro-coal energy policies and extra CO2 generated by new coal-fired power plants could also wipe out emissions reduction progress. Achieving climate and clean air goals that advance green development will require increased financing for environmental initiatives through new financial instruments and fiscal policies. Measures such as green bonds, taxes, subsidies, incentives and budget allocations could help generate revenue and redirect investment to support the green and low-carbon sector.
Thematic and case study submissions may deal with, but are not be limited to, the following:
- General Fiscal Policy Choices and the Implications for Sustainable Development
- Green Financial Instruments and Fiscal Incentives: Opportunities and Limitations
- Fiscal Administration and Green Development on a Sub-National Level
Contributors should submit their extended abstract in English by 30 April 2020. The abstract should be about 1,000 words, including the title, name of author(s), affiliation(s), research background, motivation, and methodology, and expected policy implications. Successful applicants will be notified by 30 May 2020.
Selected applicants must submit their full thematic or case study by 30 July 2020. The paper should adhere to the author submission guidelines of ADBI. The paper should be 4,000–7,000 words in length, including references.
