EfD participated at COP 28
EfD was featured in two events. At a side event ”Towards the establishment of a standardized carbon credit market for ECOWAS” a new IDRC-funded EfD project called Exploring the Potential and Challenges of Voluntary Carbon Markets in the Global South was launched. The main event for EfD was a joint side-event with MCC that launched the Carbon Pricing Incidence Calculator. This tool allows one to simulate the impacts of various carbon pricing instruments and how they affect richer and poorer households. The aim is to contribute to a nuanced debate on carbon pricing instruments. The result shows the attractiveness of carbon pricing as a core instrument of climate policy.
