Linking Emissions Trading Systems: research insights from LIFE DICET

In the context of the Paris Climate Agreement, there is today a strong need for enhanced international cooperation fostering emissions trading around the world. Based on the research of the project called LIFE DICET – Deepening International Cooperation for Emissions Trading, this webinar will provide a better understanding of the regulation of carbon markets and the implications for their possible integration. It will take place on 7 April from 12.00 to 13.00 CEST.

WATCH THE RECORDING:

The webinar “Linking Emissions Trading Systems: research insights from LIFE DICET” aims at summarising the Carbon Market Policy Dialogue about the relevance and challenges of linking emissions trading systems (ETSs). Building upon the Online Training, the objective of this webinar is to translate the research of the project LIFE DICET – Deepening international cooperation on emissions trading – into learning and to bring it to a much wider audience.

Special attention is devoted to the six ETSs represented in the Carbon Market Policy Dialogue (those of California, Quebec, EU, Switzerland, China and New Zealand) and to the topics of research “Emissions trading systems with different measures for carbon leakage prevention: implications for linking” (topic 3)  and “ETS Alignment: possible reforms for carbon market integration” (topic 5).

A brief summary of the past and current research will be presented by the lead researchers, then, the floor will be open for questions.

12.00-12.05: Welcome by Simone BORGHESI, Director of FSR Climate and LIFE DICET. 

12.05-12.40: Presentations
