Pilsen and Pollution by Senor Codo used under CC BY-SA 2.0 (Used with Creative Commons)
Carbon Tax vs. Cap and Trade? Can Oregon make polluters pay and grow jobs? How will low-income communities be affected? Where should the revenue go?
This Monday, join our senior researcher Kristin Eberhard to talk about carbon pricing options for Oregon. A wonderful panel of speakers will lay out smart climate policy solutions towards reducing Oregon’s carbon pollution. Oregon has an opportunity to be a critical leader on carbon pricing and to create an effective model for other states to follow.
Joining Kristin will be Jeff Renfro, senior economist at Portland State University’s Northwest Economic Research Center (NERC); Jenny Liu, assistant director at NERC; and Julia Olson, executive director and chief legal counsel of Our Children’s Trust. There will be a Q&A following the panelists’ remarks, so fire away those pending questions you have had about carbon pricing!
