Join usCompanies should be aware that carbon pricing initiatives are a highly effective strategy for governments to close the gap between climate targets and implementation. Carbon pricing reduces both the carbon intensity of energy supply and overall energy demand through a clear price signal.
There were 64 carbon pricing initiatives in place in 2021, half of which are carbon taxes and half of which are emissions trading schemes.
Carbon border adjustment mechanisms are also emerging to ensure competitiveness in countries with high carbon taxes and to avoid the risk of emissions being shifted from one location to another (known as carbon leakage).
