Next Steps on Climate: Putting a Price on Carbon
October 17, 2022. (1:35:20)
David Brower Center, Berkeley
This forum explores two approaches to carbon pricing. Tony Sirna of the Citizens’ Climate Lobby sets out the criteria for effective climate solutions and how carbon fee and dividend addresses them. Dr. Delton Chen explains how a global carbon reward would work. A carbon coin, based on Delton’s model, was the monetary engine that drove climate mitigation in Kim Stanley Robinson’s best-selling novel, “The Ministry of the Future.” Tony and Delton discuss the ways in which these two policies can be complementary. Kirstin Miller, Executive Director of EcoCity Builders, moderates the program.
