Ramphal Institute

Ramphal has just published on its website a tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth, and condolescences to the royal family. To read it, feel free to follow the link: ramphalinstitute.org/blogs/q…

Queen Elizabeth II (1952 - 2022) was Head of the Commonwealth of Nations, a role of great symbolic significance which helped underline the sense of the Commonwealth as a family of nations. She will be missed all over the world. May she rest in peace.

The Q&A has now closed! Thank you, everyone, for your questions! Now we're having the closing comments from the panel #AirSolution22 bit.ly/3N6onbe

Thank you, @Tituscando! The Q&A is now open! First to speak right now is Prof Rajan. Feel free to follow the link below and submit your questions about #carbonemissions and #greentransition in the chat! #AirSolution22 #CHOGM2022 #COP27 bit.ly/3N6onbe

.@Tituscando: Where are 2 large and 4 smaller emittors (of pollution) from each continent to get the ball rolling for #coalitions that offer political incentive to tackle #carbonemissions ? The #Commonwealth of Nations seems best to help #AirSolution22 bit.ly/3N6onbe

.@Tituscando: The basis of this #Coalition is to exchange allowances from developing countries for money from high polluting countries (developed countries almost always worse polluters) #AirSolution22 #Sustainability #greentransition #CHOGM2022 bit.ly/3N6onbe

.@Tituscando: I think the #Commonwealth can be key for helping to create a North-South #Coalition of the willing - it would need at least 2 major polluting countries and 4 minor ones #AirSolution22 #carbonemissions #greentransition bit.ly/3N6onbe

.@Tituscando: We face a very stark future, it is very difficult to cap temperatures and bring them down, both scientifically and politically #AirSolution22 #London #ParisAgreement #Berlin #Tokyo #Beijing #WashingtonDC bit.ly/3N6onbe

Thank you, Prof Rajan and @hheubaum, @CSF_SOAS, next up: @Tituscando #AirSolution22 bit.ly/3N6onbe

Thank you, @hheubaum, @CSF_SOAS! Prof Rajan has a few questions #AirSolution22 #Sustainability #greentransition #carbonemissions #COP26 #Europe #AfricaForward #Asia #India #USA bit.ly/3N6onbe

.@hheubaum, @CSF_SOAS: Taxonomies and transparency are two key topics for #Sustainability and #green solutions to #ClimateCrisis #AirSolution22 bit.ly/3N6onbe

.@hheubaum, @CSF_SOAS: Maybe an ecosystems approach would be better! We must look at the relationship between GCIF and existing funds + policies. How can we bring in the #private sector, if at all? #AirSolution22 bit.ly/3N6onbe

.@hheubaum, @CSF_SOAS: The debate around the "damage and loss" fund is a political minefield - who pays into the GCIF, countries or companies? #AirSolution22 #challenge #greentransition #carbonemissions bit.ly/3N6onbe

.@hheubaum, @CSF_SOAS: Europeans are convinced that an emissions trading system is the way to go for the whole world #ParisAgreement #AirSolution22 #Sustainability bit.ly/3N6onbe

Thank you, Prof Raghuram Rajan! Next: Dr Harald HeuBaum @hheubaum, @CSF_SOAS on the global challenge and #COP26 #AirSolution22 bit.ly/3N6onbe

Rajan: Excess forest can also be a reason for "per capita benefits". This may be a more complicated method than a clumsy #carbon tax but more this would be clear and #Transparent #AirSolution22 bit.ly/3N6onbe

Rajan: It is not a one size fits all, it allows flexiblity around different country's policies, and even self-financing! An allocation of self-responsibility is almost absent, except for a few of small, developing countries #AirSolution21 #green #carbon bit.ly/3N6onbe

Rajan has devised a formula for creating a flexible carbon tax for who pays how much, and who might receive money because they are below the polluting average globally #AirSolution22 bit.ly/3N6onbe
