DESCRIPTION:Taxes can have a substantial effect on the behaviour of indivi
 duals and organisations. So\, how might taxation play an important part in
  the Climate Change discourse? \n\nDr Alice Pirlot\, from the University o
 f Oxford\, who is an expert in environmental taxation\, will be discussing
  her current research project\, which examines the concept of the Carbon B
 order Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). The CBAM is a tariff that the European 
 Union has proposed as a fiscal measure to support Climate Change action. \
 nDr Pirlot will explore how the concept of the CBAM is used as an umbrella
  term for a wide range of measures that have different designs and purpose
 s. Dr Pirlot will demonstrate how the design features of CBAMs will influe
 nce the type of objectives that these measures can achieve.\n\nDr Pirlot i
 s a Law Fellow in the Centre for Business Taxation at Oxford. As well as e
 nvironmental taxation\, Dr Pirlot's research has also addressed the intera
 ction between tax and World Trade Organisation law. Before moving to Oxfor
 d\, Dr Pirlot had been a research fellow of the National Belgian Fund for 
 Scientific Research at the University of Louvrain\, which is where she com
 pleted her PhD.\n\nAs usual\, this meeting of the Cambridge Tax Discussion
  Group is open to all. No prior knowledge or experience of taxation or of 
 climate change is necessary in order to attend.
