*[Enwl-eng] [can-eecca] Webinar - Carbon Pricing: IncentivizingTransparency and Ambition

[ENWLine]

 

 

Apologies – but the following webinar discussion on carbon pricing may be of interest.

 

The 2015 Paris Agreement set a goal of limiting global warming to well below 2 degrees Celsius; bold policy mechanisms like carbon pricing play a critical role in achieving this goal. Carbon pricing can also support a people-centered approach to climate action. Carbon pricing revenues can and in many cases are being used to invest in public priorities, including those that ensure a just transition to a low carbon economy, as seen in Canada, Australia, and other countries. Even where carbon pricing is not yet in place, businesses and development finance institutions can implement shadow carbon prices to steer investments away from increasingly risky fossil fuel options.

 

The World Resources Institute (WRI) and the New Climate Economy Project (NCE) invites you to a webinar on carbon pricing, highlighting findings from the NCE 2018 Report “Unlocking the Inclusive Growth Story of the 21^st Century: Accelerating Climate Action in Urgent Times” on carbon pricing, showcasing successful pricing and shadow pricing schemes, and discussing the importance of carbon pricing to enhanced climate ambition. This webinar will provide an introduction and overview of successful examples of carbon pricing and shadow carbon pricing systems. Helen Mountford, Executive Vice President of Climate and Economics (WRI), will outline the findings of the NCE 2018 Report about the benefits of pricing carbon. Ashwini Hingne (WRI India) will discuss the roll-out of shadow carbon pricing schemes being taken up by high-profile Indian businesses like Mahindra & Mahindra. Jansen Toh (Singapore) will also provide brief remarks on Singapore’s new carbon pricing scheme.
