In the lead up to an international agreement to address climate change, expected to be negotiated in 2015, CCAP is working globally on many fronts to pave the way for a paradigm shift toward low-carbon development. Recent meetings with high ranking officials and international policy makers highlight CCAP’s efforts to develop mitigation actions in developing countries, promote climate finance, and advance international climate mitigation policy.

Last week the European Parliament supported a temporary measure that will stabilize the EU carbon price in the coming years.
