Lord Stern calls on Europe to take a lead on carbon pricing. He said the current price on carbon under the European emissions trading scheme was too low, and called for a price of $40 to $80 a tonne of carbon dioxide by 2020 in order to reach the Paris agreement goals. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2017/dec/12/calls-for-greater-fossil-fuel-divestment-at-anniversary-of-paris-climate-deal

"Fossil fuels must be confronted with their real costs, and polluters must pay if markets are to work and emissions are to fall at the rate necessary to deliver the Paris goals. However, a carbon price by itself cannot deliver the required design of cities and networks that will be crucial to reducing emissions on the scale necessary. Carbon pricing must be supported by other policies to drive the low-carbon transition." Lord Stern. https://www.businessgreen.com/bg/news-analysis/3022912/one-planet-summit-key-quotes-of-the-day

"Under the Coalition for Carbon Pricing, Nicholas Stern and Joseph Stiglitz, Chairs of the High-Level Commission on Carbon Pricing, estimate ranges of $ 40 to $ 80 in 2020 and $ 50 to $ 100 in 2030 would make it possible to influence the choices of the economic actors in order to respect the Paris agreement." https://www.latribune.fr/entreprises-finance/green-business/paris-veut-mettre-la-finance-au-service-du-climat-761075.html
