Erasing the AND- Trade and Climate

Location: Hotung Faculty Dining Room
Date: October 24, 2022
Time:
Organized by Georgetown Law’s Institute of International Economic Law

Join us for the second session of our โ€œErasing the ANDโ€ series.ย ย For too long, issues like development, gender, labor, environment, and health have been viewed as โ€œadd-onsโ€ to trade policy.ย ย This series reimagines trade law and policy in a way that puts these issues at the center of the discussion.

Our second โ€œErasing the ANDโ€ will focus on trade and climate change. There is aย growing interest in carbon pricing and carbon border adjustments (CBAs) as a policy tool to protect economies that pursue relatively aggressive climate policies, while also encouraging broader international adoption of such strategies. During the discussion, ourย panelistsย will explore the issues stemming from such policies, and the different approaches around the world for setting prices of carbon emissions that are both effective and equitable.

The event will feature a panel discussion between Maureen Hinman, Co-founder and Chairman of Silverado Policy Accelerator and Matt Porterfield, Vice-President for Policy Research at the Climate Leadership Council, withย CITD Co-Directors,ย Profs.ย Katrin Kuhlmann and Jennifer Hillman.
