“…This applies, for example, to carbon markets (Paterson, 2009), carbon offsetting (Bumpus and Liverman, 2008;Lovell et al, 2009;Corbera and Schroeder, 2011;Corbera, 2012), investor-led governance initiatives such as the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) (Kolk et al, 2008) or partnerships such as the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Partnership (REEEP) (Parthan et al, 2010). Some scholars find that carbon markets can contribute to achieving a low fossil carbon transition, but require careful designs to achieve environmental and welfare gains (Wood and Jotzo, 2011;Pezzey and Jotzo, 2012;Springmann, 2012;Bakam et al, 2012). Others note that such mechanisms are vulnerable to 'capture' by special interests and against the original purposes for which they are conceived.…”

“…Zdecydowana większość z nich dotyczy dziedziny ochrony powietrza i ochrony wód. Zazwyczaj dokonuje się oceny efektywności kosztowej w ujęciu lokalnym -dla niewielkiej grupy podmiotów zanieczyszczających, porównując różne rodzaje sposobów redukcji zanieczyszczeń (na przykład [Beaumont, Tinch 2003]) bądź badając wpływ różnego rodzaju instrumentów ochrony środowiska na koszty redukcji zanieczyszczeń (na przykład [Bakam, Balana, Matthews 2012]).

“…Some studies evaluate optimality primarily on the basis of cost-effectiveness. These studies conclude, for instance, that more flexible policy instruments reduce cost inefficiencies and may also distribute mitigation efforts in a more equitable manner across Member States (Bakam, Balana, & Matthews, 2012;Pérez Domínguez & Fellmann, 2015). In the CECILIA2050 project, 'optimality' of policy instruments is not defined solely in terms of cost-effectiveness, however.…”

This article examines stakeholder perspectives on the 'optimality' of the climate policy mix in the agri-food sector in the EU using the criteria of environmental effectiveness, cost-effectiveness, and political feasibility. Based on a literature review and selected stakeholder interviews in two Northern (The Netherland and UK) and two Southern EU Member States (Italy and Spain), we conclude that the current policy mix is far from optimal. There are currently no EU-wide policy instruments to address GHG emissions in the agri-food sector, and little Member State level action. A number of initiatives from the private sector (particularly retailers) are present, although they are limited in scope and objectives. Looking forward, three concrete recommendations for improvements may be identified. First, stakeholders identify the need for the development of EU-wide policy instrumentation for GHG abatement from the agri-food sector, to provide a 'level playing field' for farmers and other economic agents in the sector. Second, many stakeholders consider it crucial that a holistic, 'whole supply chain' in contrast to a 'piecemeal' approach is taken. Third, the role of government is considered important, but predominantly in terms of providing a general framework within which more ambitious voluntary approaches could develop. Policy relevanceFrom a policy perspective, this article aims to assist the EU develop more 'optimal' climate policies for the agri-food sector by taking into account the views and perspectives of different stakeholders involved in different countries on three main 'optimality' criteria, namely, environmental effectiveness, cost-effectiveness, and political feasibility.
