Carbon taxes and carbon pricing are two of the highly debated methods by which we can put a price on carbon emissions in order to mitigate climate change and create a more sustainable planet for future generations. So, we had to ask: What’s the difference between carbon taxes and carbon pricing?
Carbon taxes are a price tag put on fossil fuel emissions to disincentivize their use and promote a switch to green energy. Carbon pricing captures the external costs of greenhouse gas emissions and ties them to their sources, typically by placing a price on carbon dioxide emissions.
