As the world seeks to enhance global greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation efforts, countries are exploring innovative approaches to scale-up emissions reductions and foster private sector investment in mitigation technologies. Supporting this, the World Bank Group’s Climate Change Action Plan, aligned with the historic Paris Climate Agreement emphasizes the need to mitigate climate change by accelerating climate action through carbon markets and pricing.
This online learning lab brings you a library of leading edge knowledge on carbon pricing and its associated topics through deep dive structured courses, knowledge nuggets and webinars. Here are some examples:
