Sobre o webinar
As the world moves forward with the Paris Agreement, attention shifts to crucial questions on how to achieve the mitigation goals identified in the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) reported by the countries. To date, experience has shown that an emissions trading system (ETS) can be an effective, reliable and transparent instrument to help achieve emissions reductions at low cost and in ways that mobilize private sector stakeholders, attract Investment, promote competitiveness and foster international cooperation. To maximize its effectiveness, an ETS must be designed taking into account the context and circumstances of each country or jurisdiction.
This webinar is the launch of the Spanish version of the guide «Emissions Trading in Practice: A Handbook on the Design and Implementation of Emissions Trading Systems». This manual, developed in collaboration between the secretariats of the PMR and ICAP, and published in Spanish with the advice of Carbon Trust Mexico, is available online following this link: https://openknowledge.worldbank.org/handle/10986/23874
The webinar will be in Spanish. If you have any questions about this event, please contact the Secretariat of the LEDS LAC Platform: info@ledslac.org.
