Canada, March 15, 2018 — Canadian companies, partners in the Carbon Pricing Leadership Coalition, came together to share their past experiences and lessons learned around carbon pricing implementation in the The Role of Carbon Pricing in a Low-Carbon Transition report. Presenting a collective of companies from various sectors, the report includes best practices for the private sector making the transition to a low-carbon economy and some recommendations for the continued development of carbon policies in coming months.

We are pleased to announce that, as of today, Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) is now Verra, with the tagline “Standards for a sustainable future” In response to increasing demand for ambitious sustainable development and environmental standards, we have been expanding our work into new arenas over the last several years.
ECONOMISTS have long argued that the most efficient way to curb global warming is to put a price on the greenhouse-gas emissions that cause it. A total of 41 OECD and G20 governments have announced either a carbon tax or a cap-and-trade scheme, or both. Add state and local schemes, and they cover 15% of the world’s emissions, up from 4% in 2010. Voters concerned about climate change are egging them on. So, too, are corporate bosses. More firms are imposing such pricing on themselves, even in places where policymakers are dragging their feet.

Yale University has a fair claim as the intellectual birthplace of the carbon tax. It was there, in the 1970s, that the economist William D. Nordhaus wrote the first of many papers proposing that companies be charged for using fossil fuels in order to address global warming.
on the occasion of the One Planet Summit, government leaders of Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, México, the Governors of California and Washington, and the Premiers of Alberta, British Columbia, Nova Scotia, Ontario and Quebec launched the Carbon Pricing in the Americas cooperative framework.
At the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS), we’ve been watching the advances of the CPLC with interest and are thrilled to join the community of climate leaders that this unique initiative brings together.
London, November 8, 2017—At a Global Maritime Forum roundtable in London yesterday, the Carbon Pricing Leadership Coalition and global NGO Carbon War Room, worked with shipping leads from major global financial institutions to explore the challenges of decarbonization for ship financing.
With the launch of the report Preparing shipping banks for climate change: How can internal carbon pricing help ship-financing banks in risk management?, the two organisations called for shipping’s financial institutions to begin analysing and managing the risks created by the shipping industry’s imminent decarbonisation.
Putting a value on emissions can lower energy use, write Kenneth Gillingham, Stefano Carattini and Daniel Esty. In July, Yale became the first university to launch a carbon-price programme across its campus. More than 250 buildings, together accounting for nearly 70% of the institution's emissions, will be charged US$40 per tonne of carbon dioxide that they emit as a result of energy use. Buildings that reduce their emissions more than the average will receive a share of the funds collected.
