Exploring the Role of Global Carbon Markets  

We've all heard of carbon credits, but very few of us understand what they are or how they work in stimulating environmental initiatives Around the world, governments are using carbon markets to put a price on greenhouse gas emissions to reduce emissions. This talk will explain how these markets actually work, from Europe and California to Alberta and beyond. We will discuss how putting a dollar value on carbon is reshaping investment, innovation, and industry behaviour.
