THE U.S. BUSINESS CASE FOR A CARBON TAX: DRIVING INNOVATION, EQUITY & OPPORTUNITY

To explore how carbon taxes tackle climate change, create jobs and stimulate the economy. An affiliate event of the Global Climate Action Summit.

We invite you to join us in San Francisco on September 13th for a ½-day forum,THE U.S. BUSINESS CASE FOR A CARBON TAX:  Driving Innovation, Equity & Opportunity, to explore how carbon taxes tackle climate change, create jobs and stimulate the economy.  We’re pleased to be an affiliate event of the Global Climate Action Summit.

At the Forum, you’ll hear national and state elected officials, business executives, think tanks from the right and left and advocacy organizations discuss how a carbon tax would work, options for using the billions of dollars of revenues generated, and the likely impacts on key economic sectors.

FORUM AGENDA AND REGISTRATION

Climate change is wreaking havoc on our economy—and the need for comprehensive action to cut carbon pollution is urgent.  One particularly effective approach is to put a price on the carbon content of fossil fuels and their emissions.  A carbon tax at the federal and/or state level will reduce business uncertainty and encourage a comprehensive and more rapid market transition towards clean energy.  Business leaders have a critical role to play.

A growing number of business leaders and leading conservative and progressive advocates agree: a carbon tax can be designed to account for economic and equity concerns and support a just transition, while safeguarding against climate disaster.

We look forward to seeing you there.
