Abstract Carbon taxation is suggested as an efficient instrument for the clean energy transition. However, high resulting prices for coal and electricity could adversely impact industrial performance…

Abstract Climate change mitigation is often assumed to be cheaper in developing countries than in developed countries. Yet, existing analyses frequently ignore the cost-effectiveness of price-based…

Key Messages With carbon pricing, households in most countries and regions have a tendency to change from fossil-based fuels to more traditional and polluting alternatives like firewood and charcoal…

Abstract While public attitudes regarding climate change have been widely explored in the global north, survey work is still limited in the global south countries. Here we analysed survey data (n = 8…

Abstract Carbon pricing has been proposed as an efficient instrument to reduce carbon emissions and curb climate change. However, in low-income countries, resulting high energy prices might induce…

Abstract Emissions pricing is a regulatory instrument that imposes a cost on emissions that are harmful to the natural environmental and humans. It is a flexible instrument in that it allows agents…

Estimating the cost to society from a ton of CO 2, termed the social cost of carbon (SCC), requires connecting a model of the climate system with a representation of the economic and social effects of…

Abstract Implementing emissions pricing in developing countries calls for increased focus on the political, economic, and social challenges these countries face. By discussing various types of…

Carbon pricing has recently gained further momentum from the European Union (EU)'s plan for the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). The CBAM aims to align the greenhouse gas (GHG) emission…

Abstract Since agriculture is responsible for a considerable share of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions (GHGE), this paper examines the impact of various carbon taxes designed to incentivize…
