Making carbon pricing work for citizens

Abstract

The gap between actual carbon prices and those required to achieve ambitious climate change mitigation could be closed by enhancing the public acceptability of carbon pricing through appropriate use of the revenues raised. In this Perspective, we synthesize findings regarding the optimal use of carbon revenues from both traditional economic analyses and studies in behavioural and political science that are focused on public acceptability. We then compare real-world carbon pricing regimes with theoretical insights on distributional fairness, revenue salience, political trust and policy stability. We argue that traditional economic lessons on efficiency and equity are subsidiary to the primary challenge of garnering greater political acceptability and make recommendations for enhancing political support through appropriate revenue uses in different economic and political circumstances.

Contributions

Emmanuel Combet, David Klenert and Linus Mattauch jointly conceived the study. Its design was further refined through inputs from Cameron Hepburn and Ryan Rafaty. David Klenert coordinated the writing process and wrote large parts of the manuscript with inputs from Emmanuel Combet, Cameron Hepburn, Linus Mattauch and Ryan Rafaty. Ryan Rafaty is responsible for writing the section on political science and for creating Fig. 1. David Klenert and Linus Mattauch jointly wrote the behavioral science and public economics sections. Ottmar Edenhofer and Nicholas Stern provided crucial feedback on the manuscript at different stages.
