To officially start the joint support of the Partnership for Market Readiness and the CPLC to Côte d’Ivoire, an inter-ministerial dialogue and workshop on environmental taxes and carbon pricing took place in Abidjan from October 4-5, 2018. The workshop brought together key decision-makers from relevant ministries and stakeholders from the private sector and civil society to discuss the potential of a carbon tax in Côte d’Ivoire. Based on the outcomes of the event, several analytical tasks will now be undertaken to help the Ivorian government assess the potential, the impacts and the optimal design of such a market-based mechanism.
