NACW 2020 Virtual Series: Navigating the North American Carbon World

The North American carbon world continues to be a diverse and changing landscape. Across Canada, the US and Mexico, there are varying levels of leadership and approaches to addressing climate change on all jurisdictional levels. Canada has its Output-Based Pricing System in place as a backstop for provincial inaction and forges ahead with other climate initiatives like the Clean Fuel Standard. Mexico’s Emissions Trading System has launched in its pilot phase and stands as North America’s only national ETS. In the US, climate change initiatives remain in reverse on the federal level and states, counties and cities continue filling the void left by the federal government. In this webinar, speakers engage in discussion about climate action, inaction and goals across the North American continent.
