SUMMARY:Carbon Pricing: Yes. But How?
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, September 20\, 5:00-6:30pm \nNYU School of Law\nSnow Dining Room\, 4th Floor\n40 Washington Square South\nNew York\, NY 10012\nREGISTER HERE \n\nCarbon pricing has an important role to play in providing a broad signal to shift the world’s economies in order to reach the objectives of the Paris Agreement. A recent report of the High Level Commission on Carbon Prices highlights the need for carbon prices of at least US$40–80/tCO2 by 2020 and US$50–100/tCO2 by 2030. The next question is how? \nInternationally\, the carbon pricing community includes advocates for taxes\, fees and dividends\, carbon markets both linked and independent. During NY Climate Week\, Carbon Market Watch and New York University are pleased to invite the climate community for a conversation not only whether to price carbon but also how – both domestically and internationally. \nThe panel will include: \nJessica Green\, NYU Environmental Studies\nBarbara Haya\, UC Berkeley\, Berkeley Energy and Climate Institute\nAki Kachi\, Carbon Market Watch\nCharles Komanoff\, Carbon Tax Center \nThis event is co-hosted by the NYU Environmental Studies Department and Carbon Market Watch. \n \n

SUMMARY:We’ll Always Have Paris . . . Right?
DESCRIPTION:  \n\n\n\nThursday\, September 21\, 6:00-7:30pm \nNYU School of Law\nVanderbilt Hall 214\n40 Washington Square South\nNew York\, NY 10012\nREGISTER HERE \n\nAlthough the Paris Agreement on climate change was signed in 2015 and came into force in 2017\, it was only a shell of an agreement. Many details and rules remain to be worked out to ensure that the promise of the Paris Agreement is realized. The United States was a significant force in the adoption of the Paris Agreement under the Obama Administration\, but now the Trump Administration has signaled its intent to withdraw. What does this mean for the full development of the Agreement? Will new international players step into the void potentially left by the US? Will we be able to achieve the objectives of the Paris Agreement without the US? \nThe panel will include: \nSusan Biniaz – Former Lead Climate Lawyer\, U.S. State Department\nAmbassador Janine Felson – Permanent Mission of Belize to the UN (tbc)\nAmbassador Ronnie Jumeau – Seychelles Climate Ambassador (tbc)\nNat Keohane – Vice President\, Environmental Defense Fund; Adjunct Professor of Law\, NYU\nMichael Oppenheimer – Albert G. Milbank Professor of Geosciences and International Affairs\, Princeton \n \n  \n  \nThis event is co-hosted by the NYU Environmental Studies Department.

SUMMARY:Fossil Fuel Subsidy Reform and the WTO
DESCRIPTION:Disciplining Fossil Fuel Subsidies for Climate Mitigation and SDGs: A Job for the Trade System?\n \n\n\n\nFriday\, September 22\, 6:00-7:30pm \nNYU School of Law\nPollack Colloquium Room\, 9th Floor\n245 Sullivan Street\nNew York\, NY 10012 \n\nRecent studies estimate fossil fuel subsidies to $5.3 trillion or 6.5 % of global GDP. Such subsidies are associated with a range of negative effects. Importantly\, they boost greenhouse gas emissions and hence further spur climate change- without these subsidies\, global carbon emissions would have been reduced by 21% in 2015. \nSeveral political developments over the past few years show an increasing recognition of the need to put an end to these perverse subsidies. The G20 declared in 2009 their intention to phase out inefficient fossil fuel subsidies. In 2015\, the UN’s Agenda 2030 and the Paris Agreement on climate change\, both make reference to the issue. However\, it has proven difficult to move from high level declarations into real action on the ground. Therefore\, there is a need to take a fresh look at the issue\, and to consider all options on the table for making progress. \nTrade policy\, and more precisely the World Trade Organization\, WTO\, could play an important role in this regard. Indeed\, the WTO-system is based on binding commitments and contains a mechanism for enforcement and compliance\, contrary to the G20 and the UNFCCC. Making use of this might allow for the necessary shift from best endeavour to actual implementation. Moreover\, it already has tools in place for notification and for review. It even has a subsidy agreement\, the ASCM\, as well as sectoral agreements applying to subsidies\, such as the agreement on agriculture. \nWTO members are indeed increasingly aware of the need to upgrade the system so that it is better adapted to the challenges of the 21st century. The upcoming WTO ministerial meeting in Buenos Aires is therefore a timely opportunity to consider new issues in the sustainable development realm\, and to put them on the agenda of the WTO for concrete action. \n \n  \n  \nThis event was co-hosted by the Institute for International Law and Justice (IILJ) and the International Centre for Trade and Sustainable Development (ICTSD).
