North American-European Dialogue

Effective public policy on carbon pricing in support of climate objectives: views from North America and Europe

Join us as we bring together experts, policymakers, and distinguished elected officials from both sides of the Atlantic to discuss lessons learned in pricing the external cost of carbon emissions – the cost borne by society and the environment due to human-induced climate change.

Recent events have exposed the volatility of global energy prices and triggered worrying disruptions in the traditional supply of energy worldwide. Against this background, the French Embassy (under the auspices of the French Presidency of the Council of the European Union) and the Delegation of the European Union to the United States bring together experts in carbon policy and policy- and law-makers to assess policy options addressing carbon emissions externalities.

This conference will feature three roundtables led by renowned experts and decision-makers with comments from elected representatives of the United States, Canada, Mexico, France and the European Commission. It will be followed by a reception dinner hosted by the French Embassy.

All greenhouse gas emissions related to this event have been measured by Greenly and will be offset by Stock CO2. The offsetting of these emissions will be accomplished through a forestation project directed by the French Ministry of Energy Transition as part of the Low-Carbon Label, a tool for implementing France’s national low-carbon strategy.

This event has been organized by a partnership of the French Embassy, the Institute of European, Russian and Eurasian Studies at the George Washington University, and the European Union Delegation to the United States.
