Purpose of the meeting
At its August 3 meeting, the Regulatory Advisory Panel (RAP) for the CO2 Trading Regulation (Revision C17) expressed a desire to learn more about the various options for allocating allowances. Members of the RAP and the public are invited to a webinar on the topic hosted by the Georgetown Climate Center. The webinar will explore allowance consignment auctions as a mechanism for efficiently distributing allowances and implementing important emissions trading program features such as cost-containment, emissions containment and program floor prices. This webinar follows up on a webinar that covers allocation methods more generally scheduled for August 21. A webinar recording will be available on Georgetown Climate Center’s website after the event. Please register with Georgetown Climate Center at this link: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/1473248109318580738 no later than c.o.b. August 25, 2017.
