The Bipartisan Conversation on Pricing Carbon Emissions will take place on August 29, 2018 — 1:15 PM to 2:45 PM EDT. Join Senator Sheldon Whitehouse for a discussion of current efforts to price carbon emissions. Co-sponsored by Arizona State University and moderated by Robert Litterman, co-founder of Kepos Capital, this panel will explore questions such as:

  • What is the most promising legislative pathway to pricing carbon emissions? 
  • What does a bipartisan solution look like? 
  • Where should legislative efforts focus – at the state or federal level? 


While federal progress on climate change may have stalled, Senator Sheldon Whitehouse and others on the right and left have reinvigorated efforts to use market incentives to reduce U.S. greenhouse gas emissions. Join this important conversation hosted by Arizona State University’s Julie Ann Wrigley Global Institute of Sustainability, as our panelists explore these questions and more:

  • What are the most likely pathways towards pricing carbon emissions?
  • Will federal or state legislative efforts gain greater traction?
  • What solutions will generate bipartisan support?

Panelists

Joining Sen. Whitehouse and Mr. Litterman are Jerry Taylor, president of
the Niskanen Center; Ted Halstead, chairman and CEO of the Climate
Leadership Center; and Nathaniel Keohane, Senior Vice President at
Environmental Defense Fund.
