Questions arise about their implications for cost-effectiveness, environmental integrity, climate justice and equity, and incentives for domestic emissions reductions. The policy dialogue is part of the EU-funded project LIFE NETS – Net-Zero Emissions Trading Schemes – which runs from 2026-2028.This session as part of EUI Climate Week aims to address the question of how countries have combined domestic climate targets with the use of international carbon credits, and what regulatory and governance safeguards may be needed to ensure that such credits reinforce rather than weaken domestic climate action.Chair: Simone Borghesi, European University InstitutePanelists:Toshi Arimura, Waseda UniversityCarolyn Fischer, World BankDirk Forrister, IETAInjy Johnstone, Oxford Net ZeroSebastien Paquot, European CommissionConclusion: Marie Raude, European University InstituteMore information and the full programme of the EUI Climate Week 2026 can be found here.
