As part of our UAP actions a webinar on CO2 Pricing & Public Procurement will be held on March 19 from 2 to 3 pm (CET).
CO₂ is playing an increasingly important role in the work of governments. However, in practice, CO₂ is often only given a place at a later stage: as a retrospective measurement or as a separate sustainability indicator. CO₂ pricing is changing that. By translating emissions into euros, it becomes clear that CO₂ is not an abstract environmental theme, but a social cost item related to health, infrastructure, water safety and quality of life.
By creating a series of webinars, we offer information for you to explore how CO₂ pricing is applied in practice as a management tool.
This first webinar focuses on understanding and organising the topic. You will gain insight into:
- Why CO₂ pricing looks so different in practice;
- Which questions governments answer with CO₂ prices;
- How policy and projects together give direction to choices;
- How public procurement can safeguard and repeat these choices, without prescribing a single solution.
For whom:
- Policy officers for sustainability, the environment and public space;
- Project leaders and program managers;
- Public buyers and contract managers;
- Administrators and consultants working on circular construction and infrastructure.
