Carbon Pricing and Global Partnerships: A Path to Sustainable Transformation Passed

Monday November 18, 2024 10:00 - 10:40 +04 The Swedish Pavilion - Open for public

Partner: Svenskt Näringsliv

Category: HUMAN CAPITAL




Carbon pricing is essential for enabling the long-term transformation of our societies - and soon a requirement for certain industries to be able to trade with the European union.  

This event will explore how increasing the number of emissions priced globally can create a case to phase out fossil fuels, make climate solutions more attractive and in a relatively short timeframe enable more economies to trade with Europe as the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is phased in over the coming years. It will also highlight the challenges – and opportunities – that carbon pricing may have on the business sector in emerging economies.  

The seminar will gather policymakers and business organisations and serve as a collaborative platform to discuss necessary partnerships ahead to support the implementation of carbon pricing mechanisms.
