Acceleration of global warming is raising the question of how to complement the COP21 framework in order to speed up the energy transition for abating carbon emissions to limit the rise of temperature to less than 2°C.

In this respect, it is imperative to scale up development of clean energy through acceleration of investment in renewables and nuclear. But increase in the demand for energy in the future would make this imperative insufficient if it were not included in a global framework whose backbone should be carbon pricing.

This event organised by the Task Force on Carbon Pricing in Europe, together with the International Finance Forum, intends in its first session to look at how to foster the development of renewables and nuclear, and in session 2 at how to implement a global framework around carbon pricing.
