Energy transition and Carbon Pricing are at the forefront of governments and businesses all across the globe to transition to a Zero carbon world. Better pricing of carbon emissions is essential for this. This means putting a price tag on more emissions, and raising prices.
The main carbon pricing instruments are carbon taxes, carbon crediting mechanisms and emissions trading systems (ETS). An ETS is a system whereby companies must buy credits to be allowed to emit carbon. Companies can then trade these credits.
During this highly interactive 1 day Lecture we will deal with the key policy issues and the latest trends and best practices in the energy transition across the globe as well as carbon pricing.
