Technical Workshop 15: Post-2020 Mitigation Scenarios & Carbon Pricing Modelling (Brasília)
This Technical Workshop, organized by the PMR and hosted by the
Ministry of Finance of Brazil, brings together policymakers and practitioners from PMR countries
and international experts from research organizations and academia. The objectives of this
workshop are to exchange insights gained and lessons learned throughout the technical assessment
work underlying countries’ low emissions development strategies and INDC decision-making
process; discuss common analytical challenges and gaps related to the assessment of possible
INDC implementation strategies; take stock of key issues and challenges facing expert modelers
and policy makers when conducting carbon pricing modeling in support of instrument design and
evaluation; and identify key areas of work and support for the PMR policy analysis community,
including informing the establishment of a PMR Modelling Expert Group and development of its
work program.
