Nordic Climate Neutrality: Carbon pricing

Science calls for immediate and deep emission reductions across all sectors to avoid accelerating climate change. Hence, countries that have the tools, know-how and institutional and financial capacity must step up and lead by example. The Nordic region is well prepared to take on this responsibility and has a strong track record of leading by example. 

In this webinar series on Nordic climate neutrality, we will share insights on a set of topics of relevance for achieving climate neutrality in the Nordic region, aiming to share experiences and inspire across borders. This webinar is the first in the series.

Carbon pricing

Effective carbon pricing is necessary to create the enabling environment for mitigation. In this webinar we will discuss the current state of carbon pricing in the Nordic countries, the effectiveness of carbon pricing and implications of carbon pricing for a just transition. We also will discuss the future of carbon pricing for example in the context of EU regulations and the Paris Agreement. 

Topics covered at the webinar include

• Carbon pricing in the Nordics: comparative look
• The future of carbon pricing in context of Fit for 55
• Carbon pricing and justice dimensionsModerated panel discussion

Nordic Stocktake and Vision

The webinar series is a part of the project “Nordic Stocktake and Vision – Pathways to Climate Neutrality”, carried out by a consortium consisting of the organizations CONCITO, CICERO, IVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute, University of Iceland and Reykjavik University, and Tyrsky Consulting. The project is a part of the initiative “Climate transition in the Nordics” to support the Nordic Vision 2030. The overall aim of the Nordic Vision is to become the most sustainable and integrated region in the world by 2030.
