Dear Members and Institutional Partners, We would like to invite you to the HP3 Webinar: “Socially Just Carbon Pricing – The Carbon Pricing Incidence Calculator” scheduled for Tuesday, July 1, from 10 AM to 11 AM (ET). Abstract How much does carbon pricing cost different households? The Carbon Pricing Incidence Calculator (CPIC) ensures that decision makers and affected stakeholders can have a competent say on this important issue. It simulates different carbon pricing policies and compensation options based on publicly available household data on consumption expenditures for around 1.5 million households from 87 countries. During the webinar we will dive into the functionalities of the CPIC, which was developed by the climate research institute MCC (Mercator Research Institute on Global Commons and Climate Change) and funded by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ).
