Pricing Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Accelerating the transition to net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is urgently required to contain the risks of climate change. As countries seek to reduce GHG emissions, they can employ or reform a wide range of policy instruments. This report tracks how explicit carbon prices, energy taxes and...

- 2 Pricing greenhouse gas emissions: What has changed? What needs to change?
- Carbon pricing works
- Changes in coverage: more emissions covered by explicit carbon prices in several countries
- Changes in price levels: uneven progress with carbon prices across instruments, sectors, fuels and countries
- Carbon price heterogeneity persists, also in industry and electricity
- Increasing effective carbon prices could raise substantial revenues, while cutting emissions
- Carbon pricing and the sustainable development goals
- Unlocking further mitigation efforts

- Notes
- 3 Taxes and subsidies on energy use
- Energy taxes and subsidies are ubiquitous and extend beyond fossil fuels
- What is the net effect of energy taxes and subsidies on public finances?
- Effective energy rates vary across products, but are generally higher on fossil fuels
- Most countries tax diesel less than gasoline, even though this is not supported by environmental considerations
