Thomson Reuters - A CAP AND TRADE DEBATE

IS CAP AND TRADE WORKING AS

A WEAPON AGAINST CLIMATE CHANGE?

Cap and trade is now in its sixth year as the European Union’s flagship policy to fight climate change, and has successfully driven carbon emission cuts and created a multi-billion-Euro market. But the market has had its critics, and similar schemes have faltered in the United States, Japan and Australia.

Join Thomson Reuters and Point Carbon to discuss and debate:
- Can markets clean up our atmosphere
- How can carbon trading be improved
- Is cap and trade inescapable
- Is it right or moral to create rights to pollute
