CEENRG Thursday seminars: 'Navigating emissions trading in Brazil: regulatory challenges and interoperability with the voluntary carbon market'

Speaker: Dr Natascha Trennepohl (Partner, Trennepohl Advogados | Visiting Scholar, Department of Land Economy, University of Cambridge)

The Cambridge Centre for Environment, Energy, and Natural Resource Governance (C-EENRG) is hosting a seminar series throughout the 2023- 24 academic year.

Brazil has recently introduced a national emissions trading system (ETS), targeting activities and facilities whose greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions exceed a defined threshold. The compliance market has similarities with the European Union cap-and-trade system but covers emissions from a wide range of sectors. This presentation will delve into the key design features of the system and examine how it is expected to interoperate with the voluntary carbon market. Lastly, it will address the major challenges associated with implementing the compliance carbon market in Brazil and strengthening the role played by the voluntary market.

Seminars take place as hybrid meetings (in person seminars in the DAB - David Attenborough Building + online in Zoom) every Thursday (please check precise time as may vary) during the term. Please register online to receive the Zoom link on the day of the seminar. Everyone is welcome!
