Manasvini Vaidyula, Marion Afriat & Lara Dahan from I4CE’s Industry Energy and Climate team have recently published blog post on the Ideas for Development blog coordinated by Agence Francaise de Développement.

As emerging economies continue to experience rapid growth, their decarbonisation strategies will play a crucial role in realising the Paris Agreement. In the global pursuit of the most suitable low-carbon policies, one policy in particular is gaining wider acceptance in emerging and developing countries, namely putting a price on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Carbon taxes can play an important role within a holistic set of climate policies to enable the low-carbon transition in emerging economies.
