At the invitation of the Ministry of the Environment and its Secretariat for Sustainable Development and supported by the Partnership of Market Readiness of the World Bank , I4CE assists representatives of different ministries and economic sectors to understand the implementation of carbon pricing policies in Morocco with the aim at achieving their climate targets set in their Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) defined for the Paris Agreement.

Organized from 13 to 15 September in Rabat, the training workshop aims at providing a common understanding of the implications of the Paris Agreement for their country and to address all the issues raised by its implementation and the specific challenges of carbon pricing. I4CE has presented different approaches and instruments, such as carbon taxes, market mechanisms such as emissions trading systems, and offsets.

Agenda :

Session 1 – Climate Ambition and Carbon Pricing: Implications of the Paris Accord
Session 2 – Understanding the Fundamentals of Carbon Pricing
Session 3 – Simulation of a carbon price in the electricity sector
Sessions 4, 5 and 6 – The various carbon pricing instruments: the emission trading system, carbon tax and carbon offsetting project mechanisms.

The 4th International Conference on Financing for Development (FFD4) in Seville represents a milestone for delivering on development (including climate action) goals, a decade after the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement. The “Seville Commitment” was adopted on June 30th, albeit in the absence of the United States – demonstrating that widespread support remains for a comprehensive package to finance development. However, the outcome also embodies the growing chasm between high-level commitments and the reality of financing for development and climate action on the ground. Recent research by I4CE attempts to bridge this gap on two crucial issues.
