This session will provide an introduction to the concept of compliance carbon pricing and the different types of carbon pricing instruments as well as its connection to Article 6. It will also provide an introduction to the design elements typical in the design and implementation of an ETS.

o Andrés Felipe Olarte Peña (ICAP)
o Katie Gibbs, Canada, Carbon Market Bureau
o Alise Karcevska, Head of UK ETS International Cooperation
o Ishtar Ali, Head of UK ETS Free Allocation
Some of the decisions that jurisdictions need to make early in the process of implementing an ETS revolve around which economic sectors to cover and which greenhouse gases to cover. This session will discuss the practical implications of making these decisions.

o Victor Alejandro Ortiz Rivera, ICAP
o Jean-Yves Benoit, Québec
o Alise Karcevska, Head of UK ETS International Cooperation
o Ishtar Ali, Head of UK ETS Free Allocation

The session will discuss different mechanisms to distribute the carbon budget under the ETS: either for free or through auction. The session will also discuss the practical needs to develop each allocation mechanism.

o Andrés Felipe Olarte Peña (ICAP)
o María Montoya (WCI, Inc.)

This session will provide an overview of the different elements of infrastructure required for the implementation of an ETS (such as a registry to track the ownership and the transaction of allowances) and the actors involved (such as financial intermediaries).

o Ana Domínguez, UNFCCC RCC Latin America.

2-4 groups are formed, each group allocated to a table. Each group is composed of 4 country/region that provided a ppt presentation in the Carbon Pricing Instruments Snapshot session, forming a pair ETS/Carbon Pricing as shown below. On a flip chart/board, each provides the elements as described below (content discussion). ● In clusters of equal numbers (depending on the participants in the room), participants will have a round of discussions of 20 minutes per group formed by countries/regions. After every round, participants move to the next group.

o Josh Margolis, external senior expert, (ICAP) 

In this exercise, participants will better understand price formation by engaging in a simulated auction and trading of allowances. *Participants require computers for this exercise.

o Ana Domínguez, UNFCCC RCC Latin America.
In this session, participants will gain an understanding of the requirements of participation and opportunities provided by Article 6 and be also prepared to engage in national level making decision around Article 6.
