What should be an appropriate carbon price in the wake of COP26
Arguably, carbon prices are currently too low and we should be pricing carbon much more aggressively. In this webinar, James Nixon will review the existing estimates and methodologies with a view to gauging how high carbon prices might need to go in order to limit global warming in line with the Paris agreement. He will also consider some of the implications and outcomes of the recent COP26 in Glasgow.
Please note that we will be holding one webinar each for APAC, EMEA and Americas friendly time zones:
- APAC – Tuesday 23rd November | 10:00 HKT
- EMEA – Tuesday 23rd November | 10:00 GMT
- Americas – Tuesday 23rd November | 16:00 EST

LatAm shows resilience to U.S. Tariffs
Economic growth across most of the region has been mostly undisturbed by the start of US tariffs. Resilient domestic demand and high commodity prices suggest economic stability will continue in most countries, except in Mexico, where the impact of trade uncertainty and fiscal consolidation have temporarily stalled the economy. Inflation shows relatively different dynamics due to domestic idiosyncrasies, but most countries are exposed to the same international shocks, which could justify greater caution in the monetary normalization process by central banks.
