to carbon pricing policies for different sectors and the en/re economy?
§ How to mi/gate the risk of nega/ve impacts and strengthen the posi/ve impacts from carbon pricing (through instrument design or complementary policies) in the short and long term, and for different levels of expected decarboniza/on?
§ How to manage the process of dialogue between a government, business and civil society on the implica/ons for compe//veness and risks of emissions leakage, and their mi/ga/on?
u Be informed by and reflect country and sub-‐na/onal experiences
u Vivid economics has been engaged
