and Gautam Jain. ow.ly/NT6V30sATg5

CGEP scholar Sagatom Saha is surprised the carbon tax situation isn't being treated as an urgent problem.

He warns that with the upcoming EU elections, the issue could get pushed off for months as the major EU institutions turn over staff and lawmakers.

At the #OsloEnergyForum – a gathering of top energy industry leaders – Center on Global Energy Policy founding director Jason Bordoff and scholar Sagatom Saha spoke on the need to transform the energy system and for businesses to step up to the challenge.

Big elections are happening this year, with big implications for the energy transition & trade in currently GHG intense goods. Arguably, the US & the EU are barely keeping pace with China as is, and need to figure out a way to work together for both their own & the world's sake.

Upcoming elections in the US and the EU will influence the trajectory of transatlantic cooperation on climate and trade policies.
