What is the Role of Carbon Taxes in Climate Change Mitigation?
This note argues that a carbon tax system is more practical to implement, monitor and enforce than tradable permit-based approaches to global climate-change action. It suggests that a sensible design will be an upstream carbon tax on the fossil fuel supply chain, which can also include other major non-(carbon monoxide) CO2 greenhouse gases (GHGs). While risks such as fiscal cushioning exist, a tax-based system will be more transparent and offer the appropriate incentives for participation and compliance.

This note argues that a carbon tax
system is more practical to implement, monitor and enforce
than tradable permit-based approaches to global
climate-change action. It suggests that a sensible design
will be an upstream carbon tax on the fossil fuel supply
chain, which can also include other major non-(carbon
monoxide) CO2 greenhouse gases (GHGs). While risks such as
fiscal cushioning exist, a tax-based system will be more
transparent and offer the appropriate incentives for
