Carbon Markets Industry Workshop with Guest Speakers
Carbon Markets Industry Workshop with Guest Speakers
Carbon markets are driving efforts to reduce emissions, but separate EU and UK programmes are inconducive to a greener future for Europe.
The Chamber's Call for an EU-UK Green Economy Partnership calls for closer alignment of EU and UK Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) and Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanisms (CBAM). The workshop will be followed a talk with guest speakers and networking drinks.
The Chamber is hosting a workshop for carbon market specialists to contribute your knowledge, position and expertise to our upcoming report on an EU-UK Green Economy Partnership.
We are calling on the EU and UK to closely cooperate on Net Zero in order to fulfil their climate objectives, and energy is among the five key pillars on which we encourage structured dialogue between the EU and UK to achieve their Net Zero objectives.
The workshop, led by Alistair McGirr (Head of Policy and Advocacy, SSE plc), will include leading voices in business, NGOs, trade associations and policy experts, focusing on the developing of emissions trading schemes and carbon border adjustment mechanisms to increase transparency and cooperation in advancing climate target initiatives, as well as closer alignment of EU and UK ETS and CBAM programmes.
The discussions and outcomes of the workshop will form the basis for our carbon markets pillar in our upcoming EU-UK Green Economy Partnership report.
The workshop will take place at the British Chamber of Commerce | EU & Belgium, at Boulevard Bischoffsheim 11, 1000 Brussels.
