Green transition policy effects on market competitiveness

Climate finance is integral to supporting green infrastructure development and renewable energy projects, and policies such as carbon tax and carbon pricing are key to the energy transition.

This roundtable examines carbon markets in the EU, renewable energy growth and the implications of policies that aim to support a transition away from fossil fuels.
