“Why New Brunswick businesses should embrace carbon pricing”
 
The effects of climate change are now evident across many parts of our economy, imposing costs on business, consumers and governments. What is the best way to address this? Carbon pricing, either through a carbon tax or a cap & trade system is the most efficient policy choice to improve both economic and environmental outcomes. The presentation will cover what is at stake for Atlantic Canada, outline the policy options, explore how carbon pricing is being implemented around the world, and identify some of the opportunities and challenges for New Brunswick businesses.
