A presentation by the Energy Thematic Group
Getting on track to contain global warming to between 1.5-2 degrees Celsius requires closing substantial gaps in goals, investment levels, and policies. Carbon pricing has a central role but faces substantial obstacles at the domestic and international level. This presentation will discuss the role of advanced and emerging market economies in closing these gaps, strategies for scaling up carbon pricing, and the role of the IMF and World Bank.
Speaker: Ian Parry is Principal Environmental Fiscal Policy Expert in the IMF’s Fiscal Affairs Department, specializing in fiscal analysis of climate change, environment, and energy issues. Before joining the Fund in 2010, Ian held the Allen V. Kneese Chair in Environmental Economics at Resources for the Future.
