Internal carbon prices – also known as shadow carbon pricing – could prod companies into taking decisions that are good for both business and the planet.
While governments are often blamed for a perceived ‘unjust transition,’ it is actually the industry itself which poses the biggest threat to the future of oil and gas workers.
For two years, Australia had a carbon price. Now we have a shadow price which won’t be paid by any emitter.
Mainstream economics has been complicit in the climate change crisis as it falsely treats climate change as a mere side-effect of production or a minor aberration.
Why the public resistance to carbon tax policies? New research suggests a few key factors that may play a role in influencing popular support for carbon tax efforts in Canada.
Governments that publicly commit to carbon pricing are compelled to get their own house in order.
Carbon pricing can be a powerful tool to combat climate change and reduce emissions, but it needs to be accompanied by improved regulations, clean technology subsidies and financing mechanisms.
One set of ideas runs counter to the mainstream consensus that technology will save us from climate change. Can degrowth ever win enough converts to persuade humanity to change course?
A little more than five years ago, there was a strong federal-provincial consensus around climate action. With the election of several Conservative premiers since then, that consensus has vanished.
30 of the 50 economists surveyed want a carbon price of the kind introduced by Julia Gillard in 2012 and abolished by Tony Abbott in 2014. Several say there’s little “time left to act seriously”.
Any smart climate strategy will need to simultaneously move away from fossil fuels and protect biodiversity, including through carbon sink preservation and a shift toward sustainable agriculture.
Taxing consumption that contributes to climate change hits the poor the hardest, while overlooking the huge profits tied to greenhouse gas emissions.
Gillard’s legacy - a mixed one on policy - was more than just the misogyny speech.
Policies that encourage the use of low-carbon technology like heat pumps can help motivate residents to decarbonize their homes.
It’s far easier to see how the stock market is doing than it is to find out the global price of carbon. That has to change.
Climate bills in Australia and the US promise progress without carbon taxes or markets. Here’s why.
Renewed interest in nuclear energy will go nowhere unless we talk about carbon pricing. As energy minister Chris Bowen points out, nuclear is extremely expensive.
The 2022 election looms as the most important for Ontario’s environment in the modern era, and its impact may echo for generations to come.
The recently released Emissions Reductions Plan aims to put Canada on track to reduce emissions by up to 45 per cent from 2005 and reach net-zero emissions by 2050. It will do neither.
