Net Zero Asset Owner Alliance Position Paper on Governmental Carbon Pricing

In this paper, the Net-Zero Asset Owner Alliance calls on policymakers to implement ambitious and reliable carbon prices, to fulfil the Paris Agreement commitments.

To ensure effective implementation of a carbon price policy instrument, the Alliance formulates a list of five design principles:

Ensuring appropriate coverage and ambition,
Delivering a just transition,
Providing a predictable price signal,
Minimising competitive distortions, and
Promoting international cooperation.
