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
