Alumni Week: What if carbon markets could contribute in the transition to a low carbon economy?

Wednesday 8 October | 17:45-21:00 | REC P

How to transition to a low-carbon economy? Research is clear that the only effective mechanism for driving down emissions is to put a price on carbon. This session will look at the role of carbon markets as a fundamental element in this transition. All the climate tech in the world is useless unless emitters are motivated to pay for it. This event is especially relevant for MBA alumni, but open to all alumni.
