Using MACCs to determine your long-term carbon strategy
Friday, October 21, 2011 - 15:00 - 15:45

Marginal Abatement Cost Curves are a standard tool used to illustrate and map the supply side economics of abatement initiatives aimed at reducing emissions of pollutants such as greenhouse gases. McKinsey & Company developed the first global MACC in 2005, since then MACCs have become valuable tools in understanding emissions trading, driving forecasts of carbon allowance prices, prioritising investment opportunities, and shaping policy discussions.

Experts will demonstrate how businesses can incorporate this tool to produce accurate carbon reduction strategies.
