Carbon Pricing: An Energy-Climate Nexus Approach in Meeting the Paris Climate Goals
ASEAN Centre for Energy (ACE) will host ACE Virtual FGD Series with a theme “Energy-Climate Nexus”.
One of the FGD topics will be “Carbon Pricing: An Energy-Climate Nexus Approach in Meeting the Paris Climate Goals”.
The objective of the ACCEPT FGD series is to create an information-sharing platform for ASEAN policy-makers from the energy and climate/environmental sectors that would strengthen the policy coherence. In this first FGD, the discussion topic is on carbon pricing. This FGD will provide insights on ETS and the implications of the border-adjusted carbon taxes for ASEAN exports.
