Carbon pricing
Carbon pricing instruments are economic tools designed to internalize the social costs associated with greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions—particularly carbon dioxide (CO₂)—with the goal of mitigating climate change. These instruments assign a monetary value to carbon emissions, encouraging companies and individuals to adjust their production and consumption decisions, thereby reducing emissions and promoting more sustainable practices.
