Carbon pricing puts a cost on emitting carbon dioxide, either through carbon taxes or cap-and-trade systems. This creates economic incentives for businesses and individuals to reduce emissions.
Carbon pricing is a key policy tool for reducing greenhouse gas emissions efficiently by letting markets find the least expensive ways to cut emissions.
Carbon pricing doesn't automatically reduce emissions—it needs to be set at the right level and complemented by other policies to be effective.
