The CSIS Energy and National Security Program hosted an expert discussion today to discuss some of the regulatory, legislative, international and subnational efforts that may be pursued to reduce future emissions. Van Ness Feldman's Kyle Danish spoke on regulatory options; Adele Morris from the Brookings Institution discussed the notion of a carbon tax or other market based mechanisms; and Bob Perciasepe from C2ES focused on the feasibility of these approaches as well as how important local, state, and international actions are to achieving these emissions reduction goals.
Also, in conjunction with the program, a white paper entitled, Scenarios for New Greenhouse Gas Policies in the Next Ten Years, written by Kyle Danish, Bob Nordhaus and Avi Zevin is available for download.
Below is a video of the panel discussion in its entirety.
