We also need global and aligned action to limit our carbon emissions and to minimize the effects of climate change. As carbon prices increase over time, coordination between countries becomes increasingly important to ensure a level playing field for carbon-intensive sectors. I hope today’s discussion can provide further insights on the role that academics and central banks can play in this respect.
And I trust that the EU and the UK will continue to collaborate closely on this, given that we clearly have a shared interest in doing so. Likewise, the third topic of today’s conference – regional economic inequality – is clearly also a subject that transcends the topic of Brexit.
