Carbon Market Policy Dialogue

The first meeting of the Carbon Market Policy Dialogue (CMPD) of the LIFE DICET* project brings together academia, stakeholders and senior policymakers from different carbon markets worldwide, in a unique process for a fruitful exchange on carbon market integration. 

The meeting is split into two online sessions to cover different topics and to allow participation from different geographical areas (East Asia and Pacific, Europe, North America…):  

• Thursday 10th September 2020 from 9.00 AM to 11.30 AM Central European Time to discuss “Environmental ambition: scope, stringency, and policy mix” (Topic 1),
• Thursday 24th September 2020 from 5.30 PM to 8.00 PM Central European Time to discuss “Price control: volume- and price-based mechanisms” (Topic 2). 

The CMPD meetings aim to facilitate enhanced international cooperation between Emissions Trading Systems regulators, namely the European Commission (DG Climate Action), California-Quebec, China, Switzerland and New Zealand within the framework of the LIFE DICET project. 

Ahead of the meetings, material meant to nourish the discussion will be shared. It will include a report presenting the different ETSs mentioned above, two background reports on Topic 1 and on Topic 2, as well as a few short video statements.

* The event is co-funded under the LIFE Programme, the project LIFE DICET – Deepening International Cooperation on Emissions Trading supports European Union and Member State policymakers in deepening international cooperation for the development and possible integration of carbon markets.
