Setting a price on carbon emissions is an essential tool in applying market forces to reduce these emissions. It impacts consumer demand and capital allocation to take into account the negative effects of greenhouse gases on global climate. Evolving carbon markets are helping to direct capital to applications with the highest GHG emission reduction potential. In some cases, they are also used for greenwashing, and there are other side effects, too. This webinar helps the audience to better understand the pros and cons of this tool and get a broad picture of the current status and the outlook for carbon pricing mechanisms.
