International Climate Policy and the EU Emission Trading Scheme

About

Please join us for a conversation with Michael Grub, the Chief Economist at the Carbon Trust. Professor Grubb will discuss international climate policy and the latest developments on the European Union's Emissions Trading Scheme.

Michael Grubb was recently appointed as one of the six members of the UK government Committee on Climate Change, established under the Climate Change Bill current before UK Parliament, to "provide independent, expert advice on how the UK can best meet its climate change goals." Michael has combined a position as Chief Economist at the Carbon Trust with academic work primarily through Cambridge Faculty of Economics. The Carbon Trust is the UK's lead implementation agency, with a budget now exceeding US$200m/yr. His work has concentrated on UK and European implementation (including the 2020 package announced last week by the European Commission), but he is now beginning to re-engage on international dimensions.
