Why We Need to Put a Price on Carbon | Adhityani Putri | TEDxGreenWelfare

The phrase put a price on carbon has now become well known with momentum growing among countries and businesses to put a price on carbon pollution as a means of bringing down emissions and driving investment into cleaner options. So what does it mean to put a price on carbon, and why do many governments and business leaders support it? In this talk, Adhityani Putri explores deeper on the importance of pricing carbon emissions as one of the solutions to the climate crisis. Adhityani Putri (Dhitri) is currently the Executive Director at Yayasan Indonesia Cerah (formerly known as CERA - Centre for Energy Research Asia), a policy research and strategic communications hub on clean energy and sustainability in Indonesia. She was formerly a policy analyst at the Jakarta office of Climate Policy Initiative (CPI) and, prior to that, she was working for the joint secretariat for the Climate Change Institute and Energy Change Institute at the Australian National University (ANU) in Canberra. She holds a Bachelor degree in International Relations from Universitas Indonesia and a Masters degree in Climate Change Economics and Policy from Crawford School of Public Policy, the Australian National University, Canberra.
