Glossary Carbon Pricing
Carbon pricing is a market-based policy tool that puts a price on carbon emissions in order to encourage businesses and consumers to reduce their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Carbon pricing creates a financial incentive for companies to reduce their carbon emissions by imposing a fee on each ton of GHG emissions released into the atmosphere.
There are two main types of carbon pricing mechanisms:
The purpose of carbon pricing is to internalize the costs of carbon emissions and to create a level playing field for low-carbon alternatives. Carbon pricing can help to drive investments in renewable energy, energy efficiency, and other low-carbon technologies, and to encourage innovation in the development of new low-carbon products and services.
Carbon pricing is becoming increasingly popular as a tool to address climate change, with many governments and organizations implementing carbon pricing policies around the world. However, there are challenges associated with carbon pricing, such as setting appropriate price levels and ensuring the fairness and effectiveness of the policy.
