 N° 89 - Janvier 2018 - ZEN 2050 : vers une Europe à Zéro Émission Nette en 2050 ?
Climate & Trade: Can They Be Mutually Beneficial?
By Philippe VARIN
President of ICC-France (International Chamber of Commerce)
and
Claire TUTENUIT
General Delegate of Entreprises pour l’Environnement (EpE)

Conversely, governments have given up the idea of meaningful pricing for carbon emissions of the more emitting activities in order to limit competition discrepancies in our globalized world. However, price mechanisms are also the more efficient ones in promoting low-carbon solutions. How can we reconcile environmental challenges with the economic growth provided by free-trade?
