Episode description

Can carbon pricing incentivize a sustainable future?

Join us for a compelling conversation with Professor Cameron Hepburn, the Battcock Professor of Environmental Economics and co-Director of the Economics of Sustainability Programme at Oxford University, as we unravel the power of carbon pricing and its potential to incentivize decarbonisation across industries, economies and countries.

What lessons have early-movers learned about acceptance and building momentum? How to neutralize the politics? How to do a better job of implementing carbon pricing in practice? What are the implications of the European Union's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) on other trading blocs, and what does the future hold?

We dissect the hurdles and triumphs  at the intersection of economics, energy and sustainability, and explore Professor Hepburn's surprisingly upbeat assessment of the future.
