Carbon Pricing News
 10 Years of Carbon Pricing in Europe
 A report commissioned by the Prince of Wales Leadership Group analyses the last decade of the EU ETS. The report overall concluded that the EU ETS has helped companies focus on emissions reductions, and those companies who have championed low-carbon strategies have been rewarded with declining costs, and a drive for creativity and innovation.

International Partnerships will Help Leverage Carbon Pricing 
The Global Commission on the Economy and Climate released a report on global opportunities and partnerships for better growth, one of the key findings being that greater cooperation among nations can minimize risks and accelerate action on fossil fuel subsidy reduction and implementation of carbon pricing.

CPLC Teleconference 
The CPLC held its first Partners’ Teleconference on July 14, where selected partners were invited to discuss recent developments in global carbon pricing. We heard from Total on the Oil & Gas Letter, Germany on the recent G7 Communique, and Ontario on their implementation of a cap and trade system. The discussion was fruitful, and we look forward to hosting more of these informal teleconferences in the future.
