About Us
We are the premier hub and policy institution for global energy thought leadership. Energy impacts every element of our lives, and our trusted fact-based research informs the decisions that affect all of us.
Center on Global Energy Policy (CGEP) at Columbia SIPA, the Columbia Global Center in Rio, and Insper are proud to host a high-level discussion on the future of carbon markets and their role in accelerating the global energy transition.
Bringing together leading academics, policymakers, and industry practitioners from Brazil and around the world, the event will explore how well-designed carbon markets can drive decarbonization, foster innovation, and unlock new investment opportunities. The event will host thought-provoking keynote speeches and expert panels to help participants gain strategic and critical insights into global and Brazilian perspectives on the design, governance, and integrity of carbon market, along with the pathways for integrating carbon pricing mechanisms into broader climate strategies.
The program aims to foster dialogue, collaboration, and actionable ideas that can help shape a more transparent, effective, and equitable carbon economy.
As the Israel-Iran conflict continues to unfold, it remains unclear whether a ceasefire will hold or fighting will resume. This uncertainty carries significant implications for energy markets in the Middle East and around the world.
REGISTER This roundtable is open only to currently enrolled Columbia University students. The energy transition will require a significant amount of investments in advanced economies, emerging markets, and...

Plug-in electric vehicles (EVs) are reshaping the transportation energy landscape, providing a practical alternative to petroleum fuels for a growing number of applications. EV sales grew 55× in the past decade (2014–2024) and 6× since 2020, driven by technological progress enabled by policies to reduce transportation emissions as well as industrial plans motivated by strategic value of EVs for global competitiveness, jobs and geopolitics. In 2024, 22% of passenger cars sold globally were EVs and opportunities for EVs beyond on-road applications are growing, including solutions to electrify off-road vehicles, maritime and aviation. This Review updates and expands our 2020 assessment of the scientific literature and describes the current status and future projections of EV markets, charging infrastructures, vehicle–grid integration and supply chains in the USA. EV is the lowest-emission motorized on-road transportation option, with life-cycle emissions decreasing as electricity emissions continue to decrease. Charging infrastructure grew in line with EV adoption but providing ubiquitous reliable and convenient charging remains a challenge. EVs are reducing electricity costs in several US markets and coordinated EV charging can improve grid resilience and reduce electricity costs for all consumers. The current trajectory of technology improvement and industrial investments points to continued acceleration of EVs. Electric vehicles are increasingly adopted in the USA, with concurrent expansion of charging infrastructure and electricity demand. This Review details these trends and discusses their drivers and broader implications.
