  abstract: Drawing on several studies on APEC economies, this report discusses economic policy choices for mitigating and adapting to climate change effects. It highlights that APEC economies will have a central role in both sides of climate change. These economies include some of the largest emitters and also those among the most vulnerable to the impact of climate change. The report suggests that action on climate change will require a wide range of economic policy interventions, including most importantly fiscal policies. These will include setting carbon prices that cost emissions properly, liberalizing and strengthening markets so that prices and costs can be passed- through, offsetting other biases towards capital and emissions intensive economic growth and supporting technology based policies. On the adaptation side, the report emphasizes the importance of fiscal policy and investment choice tools that incorporate the uncertainty surrounding the nature and location of climate change effects. The report discusses how emissions reduction through appropriate climate friendly technologies (CFTs) can be an important complement to more politically sensitive mitigation measures (like carbon pricing). At the same time, CFTs can provide co-benefits like rural electrification. The current status of CFTs in APEC economies - their production, use and trade - are discussed along with technology neutral and technology specific policies and trade and investment policies that can support these technologies. Financing these policy interventions - both technology based and otherwise - will require various measures, including efficient market mechanisms that create incentives to reduce mitigation costs, facilitate financing of mitigation efforts through crediting mechanism and emissions trading, and setting up the necessary institutions. This report also considers policy responses to extreme climate events and their impact on the poor at the community level. Finally, since climate change …
