    Carbon Pricing & Policies: Choices & strategies
    Panel Markets/Economics/Strategy Power & Renewables Finance & Investment/Trading & Risk Management Decarbonization Pathways
    Throughout 2020 companies and countries continued to announce new goals for reducing emissions, with many declaring a net-zero target by 2050 or sooner. The use of internal carbon pricing assumptions for investment analysis and participation in external compliance and voluntary carbon markets will be necessary to achieve the goals. How are companies incorporating carbon pricing into strategic analysis? What is their plan for the future? How are carbon markets functioning? What types of policies might be needed to achieve longer-term climate goals? What is the status of pricing carbon today and how it will evolve in the next several years?
