Think Tent 2020: What role could a carbon tax play in tackling climate change?
A carbon tax has long been a point of contention for many who support free markets. Could it be freedom’s answer to climate change, or are its costs too onerous on consumers and businesses?

Speakers:
John O’Connell (Chair), Chief Executive of the TaxPayers’ Alliance
Stephen Fitzpatrick, Founder of the Zero Carbon campaign and Founder & CEO of OVO Energy
Professor Dieter Helm, Professor of Economic Policy at the University of Oxford
