8:00- AM Carbon Markets in Australia: An Update on the Proposed Reforms Seeking to Unlock Low Cost
12:15
- PM Carbon Abatement Across the Economy
9:00 AM In 2020, an expert panel (known as the King Review) released 26 recommendations for reforms
to climate law and policy in Australia, the majority of which have been endorsed by the Australian
Government. These aim to encourage greater participation in Australia’s Emissions Reduction Fund
(ERF), provide new incentives for voluntary emissions reduction and enable low emission technologies.
Experts will assess the implications of these recommendations, their potential to unlock abatement in
the harder to abate sectors of industry, transport and agriculture, and whether Australia is on track to
achieve its first NDC.

to either gain exposure to national/regional decarbonisation efforts, or those which are simply looking
to ‘green’ their portfolios. We will also examine what options investors have at the moment, and
we’ll look at some of the risks, including the wild volatility that has come to characterise many of the
world’s carbon markets, as well as their lack of maturity and/or liquidity.

4:45 PM How to Retire Early: Carbon Pricing and Accelerating Coal Phase-out
- To meet the Paris goals, coal must be phased out as quickly as possible. As the economics of renewables im-
5:45 PM prove, existing coal plants are becoming increasingly uncompetitive. This session explores how international
financial institutions could accelerate the replacement of coal plants with clean energy, while also ensuring a
just transition – and discusses the potential role that carbon financing could play in the process.
We propose a brief overview of our recently published paper “How to Retire Early” from Rocky Mountain In-
stitute, Sierra Club, and Carbon Tracker Initiative, followed by a moderated panel discussion. We will reserve
significant time for questions from the audience.

Border Carbon Adjustments (BCAs) Key Hurdles and Design Questions
Once largely relegated to the economics literature but dismissed as a policy option, BCAs have taken
centre stage in the debate on Europe’s 2030 climate ambitions. Attention is now turning to the con-
crete details of key design elements. This has brought us closer than ever before to understanding the
major hurdles in designing and implementing a BCA, the potential trade law implications. This panel
discussion will dive into compliance with World Trade Organization rules, rebates for domestic exports,
continued free allocation, deductions based on climate policies in the jurisdiction of origin, and sectoral
scope.

4:45 PM Carbon pricing, A Cost-Effective Opportunity to Accelerate the Decarbonisation in the Power Sector
- Carbon pricing policies play a crucial role in accelerating power sector transitions. However, the struc-
5:45 PM ture and design of electricity markets largely determines the role for a carbon price to deliver least cost
abatement.
This session looks at how carbon pricing supports electricity sectors at different stages of transition.

5:45 PM Carbon Pricing on the Road to Net Zero
- Within the next three decades, we must transition away from a 200-year reliance on fossil fuels to net
6:30 PM zero emissions. This will require both deep decarbonisation across all sectors of the economy as well as
massive removals of emissions already existing in the atmosphere. Jurisdictions around the world con-
tinue to announce net zero targets. However, the rules, policies, and business models that will achieve
net zero are still open to debate. As the final plenary of the Carbon Market Virtual Pavilion, this session
features leading administrators of different, established carbon markets as well as global business vi-
sionaries to gain their perspective on what role carbon pricing can play in achieving net zero emissions.
