2026 Carbon Pricing Dialogue
Details
On February 24, 2026, RFF held an in-person Carbon Pricing Dialogue, an annual convening highlighting topic including carbon pricing and affordability, carbon pricing in hard-to-abate sectors, and carbon pricing around the world.
The day-long Dialogue consisted of a number of panels and both virtual and in-person breakout sessions in order to harness a wider breadth of perspectives from the network. These breakout sessions focused on the core questions motivating our efforts: what would it take to get a carbon price in the US, and what can the groups assembled in this network do to bring that end forward? Though there was overlap, each group went in distinctly different directions, highlighting the importance of assembling a diverse array of voices and giving them the opportunity to share their perspectives.
The day closed with a networking hour to encourage relationship-building across differences. As summarized by one of our “EcoRight” participants: “The lunch conversations I had yesterday were possibly the best I have had at any conference ever.”
