The latest UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report shows that to keep 1.5ºC within reach, we need every tool available—both public sector policies and private sector market solutions--to transition to a decarbonized world.
Join the NYU Development Research Institute (NYUDRI), and Sustainable Economic and Climate Development Inisiative (SECDEV) for a panel discussion on ‘Carbon Markets and Mechanisms’ and a fireside chat on ‘Mobilizing Capital to Implement the EU Green New Deal” – on Wednesday, Sept. 21, at 14A Washington Mews, 1st Floor, New York, N.Y. 10003. The event is open in-person to NYU community members (faculty, students, staff). It is open to the general public via Zoom. It will be held from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. (ET).
PROGRAM:
10:00am–11:20am Session 1: Carbon Markets and Mechanisms
Join a panel discussion where experts discuss the various private sector tools ranging from a high-integrity voluntary carbon market to tradable indices to help mobilize urgently-needed capital which can complement public sector climate policies. We will also hear how a carbon tax could be an effective public sector tool to reduce and remove greenhouse gas emissions from our atmosphere.

Through our work, we seek to expand the number and diversity of serious commentators on the state of foreign aid and development. Our ultimate goal is to have a positive impact on the lives of the poor, who deserve the benefit of high-quality, clear-eyed, hard-headed economic research applied to the problems of world poverty.
