Taller sobre Precios del Carbono y el Artículo 6 de la CPA y REdiCAP
El Carbon Pricing in the America (CPA), en colaboración con el Centro de Colaboración Regional (CCR) de la CMNUCC para América Latina y la Comisión Económica para América Latina y el Caribe (CEPAL), se complace en presentar su primer Taller sobre Precios del Carbono y el Artículo 6 de la CPA y REdiCAP.
Esta capacitación de cinco días se llevará a cabo en las instalaciones de la CEPAL en Santiago de Chile, del 22 al 26 de julio de 2024. Es financiado por la CEPAL con el apoyo del programa Euroclima de la Unión Europea, y el Proyecto CIACA, que es implementado por la Secretaría de la Convención Marco de las Naciones Unidas sobre el Cambio Climático (CMNUCC) a través de sus CCR.
Esta primera edición de la CPA Knowledge-Sharing and Hands-on Training reunirá a miembros de la CPA, observadores y socios, para dar una visión general de los diferentes instrumentos de fijación de precios del carbono, como los impuestos sobre el carbono, con un enfoque particular en la implementación de un Sistema de Formación de Emisiones (ETS).
Reconociendo la importancia de la fijación del precio del carbono como herramienta política para incentivar la reducción de las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero y facilitar la consecución de las Contribuciones Determinadas a Nivel Nacional (NDC) de los países, la formación dará luces sobre el papel fundamental del ETS en las combinaciones de políticas climáticas de numerosas jurisdicciones. Destacará en particular el creciente interés de las economías emergentes y los países en desarrollo por adoptar medidas para desarrollar tales sistemas y ampliar la cobertura de las emisiones mundiales.
El evento presenta una oportunidad excepcional también para albergar el Diálogo Regional sobre Precio del Carbono (REdiCAP), cuyo objetivo es compartir experiencias prácticas y conocimientos adquiridos a partir de la implementación de instrumentos de fijación de precios del carbono. Esta iniciativa se alinea con el esfuerzo global más amplio para promover la fijación de precios del carbono como una herramienta crucial para abordar el cambio climático. Se basa en lecciones clave aprendidas de la iniciativa Instrumentos Colaborativos para una Acción Climática Ambiciosa (CiACA) de la Secretaría de la CMNUCC, enfatizando la efectividad del intercambio regional de experiencias desde perspectivas tanto nacionales como subnacionales.
Además, el evento tendrá como objetivo desmitificar el artículo 6 del Acuerdo de París, ofreciendo información sobre sus oportunidades, desafíos, requisitos de participación e implicaciones.
Esperamos que esta primera edición esté a la altura de tus expectativas y siente las bases para profundizar los conocimientos adquiridos en futuras ediciones de nuestra Formación en Intercambio de Conocimientos.
