Mobilizing Carbon Finance to Meet the Socioeconomic Costs of Reforming Energy Tariffs and Subsidies in Uzbekistan
Across the globe countries are looking to cut greenhouse gas emissions to reach carbon neutrality and combat climate change. But doing so can be complicated. Countries are putting a price on carbon emissions (or carbon equivalents for other gases). In a landmark pilot in Uzbekistan, the World Bank is testing a way to reward countries for improving their sustainable energy policies. The program monetizes carbon-cutting efforts and prepares the country to sell carbon credits on the international carbon market.

| Summary: | Across the globe countries are
looking to cut greenhouse gas emissions to reach carbon
neutrality and combat climate change. But doing so can be
complicated. Countries are putting a price on carbon
emissions (or carbon equivalents for other gases). In a
landmark pilot in Uzbekistan, the World Bank is testing a
way to reward countries for improving their sustainable
energy policies. The program monetizes carbon-cutting
efforts and prepares the country to sell carbon credits on
the international carbon market. |
