Towards a Climate-Neutral Economy: The Role of Carbon Pricing in Moving the Industry Closer to Net-Zero by 2050

From 30 November to 12 December 2023 the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change come together for this year’s COP28 in Dubai. On this occasion, FSR Climate, together with the International Carbon Action Partnership (ICAP) and the Centre for Climate and Energy Analyses (CAKE) in the Polish National Centre for Emission Management (KOBiZE) will host a panel discussion to focus on carbon markets as a global climate policy tool.

The event taking place on Saturday 9 December from 17:00 – 18:00 GST (local time) offers an opportunity to discuss the role of Emission Trading Schemes (ETSs) in the green transition. Through expert insights, discussions, and analysis, this event aims to provide a comprehensive view of how ETSs and associated mechanisms may contribute to achieving the net-zero goal by 2050 in the industrial sector. It also seeks to inform future climate policies with recent and cutting-edge scientific results.
