Decarboost supports rapid decarbonisation across thee critical sectors: Energy, Transport, and Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Uses.
The webinar will present topical research including the role of the carbon pricing and financial instruments in the energy and transport sectors. The event will last 90 minutes. The format will be presentations and discussions by prominent academics, members of Government and leaders from the non-governmental sector in Brazil, Argentina and Peru.
