| Summary: | This handbook has been developed to
provide instruction on the design and implementation of
incentives for resource-efficiency purposes. The target
audience is World Bank staff and stakeholders who are
supporting the implementation of a resource-efficiency
program in a country on behalf of the government,
development finance institution (DFI) or other institution.
It is intended to be applicable to most, if not all,
resource-efficiency issues and incentives. However, it has a
particular focus on energy-efficiency issues as this is the
particular focus of the World Bank’s Climate Competitive
Industries program, and is an area with a high level of
interest from industry stakeholders. This handbook will help
practitioners to understand: (i) why incentives should be
used; (ii) the kinds of incentives that are available; (iii)
how incentives can be combined; (iv) how to diagnose the
resource-efficiency issues and potential for action in the
country; (v) what the key considerations are in the
selection and design on an incentive; and (vi) which
institutional processes are required to support
implementation of an incentive. It sets out the key
considerations in designing and implementing an incentive
for resource efficiency. Given the breadth of the potential
areas of application, the handbook provides an introduction
to each incentive type and sets out the skeleton approach to
implementing an incentive. Further reading and support will
be required at key stages to enable readers to undertake
some of the technical aspects of implementation. For this
reason, the handbook should be considered the entry point
for any party considering an incentive scheme for resource
efficiency. However, additional expertise may need to be
sought when it comes to the actual design of a specific incentive. |
