New CPLC paper outlines various options for using carbon pricing revenues

23 September 2016 - Foreword of the week

The brief outlines how revenue flows can be used by governments towards households, to reduce other taxes, provide transitional support to industry, reduce public deficit, meet climate finance needs or to meet other spending objectives. The paper discusses the challenges and opportunities that the various options present while providing some examples of revenue usage from jurisdictions that have existing carbon pricing policies.
