Background:
In the context of NDCs, the panel will discuss:
- Carbon pricing and other mitigation policies – exploring policy options and understanding the potentially positive impacts on emissions, fiscal balances, and the economy of carbon taxes or emissions trading of fiscal and other mitigation policies such as carbon pricing, fossil fuel subsidy reform, incentives for energy efficiency, renewable energy subsidies and incentives in the transport sector.
- The role of open, rules-based trade and markets in promoting enabling conditions – using trade to implement NDCs and to leverage the various co-benefits, including social outcomes; dealing with response measures in cooperation with the trading partners; promoting an efficient allocation of the world's natural resources, raising standards of living (and hence the demand for better environmental quality) and improving access to environmental goods and services.
- Mobilizing climate finance and developing new risk management instruments and processes to build smallholders' resilience, including a pilot program of financial solutions that protect smallholder farmers’ revenues against climate-related disasters and price shocks, contributing to more predictable incomes and more sustainable livelihoods for rural farmers.
