How Can the Economic System Drive Decarbonization?

How can we engineer an economic system that produces net-zero emissions at a global level by incentivizing freely made decisions that lead towards that goal? A system where companies would compete to offer lower emissions products and services up and down the value chain with ultimate decisions being made by the end-consumer based on clearly communicated cost, quality, and emissions value-propositions. A system where investment capital would flow towards promising climate-friendly technologies, potentially creating scale efficiencies. A solution that retains individual economic rights to self-actualization. 

Join us for an interview between WISC Director Mark Kennedy and Karthik Ramanna, Professor of Business and Public Policy at University of Oxford’s Blavatnik School of Government to explore his ideas on how to make such a system possible.
