Job summary

Carbon pricing is an important tool for countries to reduce their emissions and support the transition to a low-carbon economy. Ever more countries look to carbon pricing instruments as a central part of their climate policy response as NDC commitments draw nearer, and as Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanisms begin to influence patterns of global trade.
