Bradford Seminar: “‘Climate Teams’ Not Carbon Commodity Markets”

Suzi Kerr, chief economist at Environmental Defense Fund, will present “‘Climate Teams’ Not Carbon Commodity Markets: High-Integrity Transfers of International Mitigation to Enhance Global Ambition” at 12:15 p.m. Monday, Sept. 21, via Zoom webinar. Register online in advance to receive a webinar link.

Kerr will argue that bringing carbon emissions to net-zero as quickly as possible requires building agreements that support and develop trust and sustained relationships, rather than mimicking commodity trading systems or linking carbon markets. The ‘climate teams’ mechanism is designed to benefit from and strengthen existing relationships to build a network of small groups of closely collaborating countries that can accelerate the global low-emissions transformation.

This event is part of the David Bradford Energy and Environmental Policy Seminar Series organized by the Center for Policy Research on Energy and the Environment (C-PREE) in the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs and co-sponsored by PEI.
