International Carbon Pricing Call
The signatories of Call on Carbon call on governments to back their net zero targets with effective, robust, reliable, and fit-for-purpose carbon pricing instruments, consistent with the Paris Agreement, to facilitate a cost-efficient investment path to reach net zero emissions.
In addition, signatories call on governments to align their carbon pricing instruments where appropriate to create a stable and predictable investment environment.
Finally, the signatories call on governments to finalize the rules for international market mechanisms under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement to support cost-effective mitigation efforts, create a level playing field and minimize carbon leakage while enabling greater ambition.
