Quebec and California - Conspiring to "Save" the World

California, Quebec join to take lead on climate policy

...an unprecedented collaboration took shape when the state of California and province of Quebec formally agreed to link their cap-and-trade programs, demonstrating that states and provinces can successfully work together to magnify the strength of their efforts.

For more than a decade, California has been taking the lead in the United States in developing a comprehensive approach to addressing climate change.

Quebec has much in common with California. It, too, is a leader in green technology and willing to adopt ambitious environmental goals, even when they are somewhat at odds with the political winds in the rest of the country. Efforts made in recent years by the Liberal government have enabled Quebec to become a true environmental leader.

California and Quebec both recognize that putting a price on carbon and letting the market find cost-effective and innovative solutions is the wisest approach both environmentally and economically. Each has designed cap-and-trade programs that rely on a common approach and that use common infrastructure. Soon these two jurisdictions will jointly hold an auction of carbon allowances and will begin mutually overseeing this new marketplace. With the establishment of a carbon market, Quebec and California have taken their places in a rapidly emerging market. According to the World Bank, the value of transactions worldwide increased from $11 billion to $142 billion between 2005 and 2010.

We can foresee a day in the not-too-distant future when governments, businesses, and the environmental community join together to drive national and international action on climate change from the ground up. And this will be the true significance and legacy of the historic linkage agreement between California and Quebec

Gray Davis served as governor of California and is a board member of the Climate Action Reserve, the nonprofit successor to the California Climate Action Registry. Jean Charest served as premier of Quebec and is the former deputy prime minister of Canada.
