CPLC Leadership Dialogue - Carbon pricing to accelerate a just transition

Background

The CPLC Annual Leadership Dialogue brings together a broad spectrum of partners to discuss how to advance the use of carbon pricing to support ambitious climate action and sustainable development. This year, the dialogue will focus on the role that carbon pricing can play to contribute to achieving a just transition, especially for fossil fuel-intensive economies. The meeting will bring together speakers from government, industry, and academia to discuss challenges and opportunities to use pricing instruments to advance a just transition.

During COP25, the event will take place on Tuesday, December 10 from 13:00 - 14:30 at the United Kingdom Pavilion. Registration is not required, but seats are limited so please arrive early.
