Carbon pricing has proven to be a powerful tool not only for reducing emissions but also for generating substantial government revenues that can drive transformative change.
This session has explored real-world examples of how carbon pricing revenues are being utilized to support broader sustainable development goals, from fostering green innovation to strengthening social equity.
Drawing on cutting-edge research from I4CE and the IEA, speakers shared insights into strategies for balancing revenue use across competing objectives, such as ensuring community support, addressing distributional impacts, and maintaining political momentum. The discussion highlighted practical lessons and innovative approaches to maximize the impact of carbon revenues for a just and sustainable transition.
This event was also be the opportunity to present the 2025 edition of the Global Carbon Accounts report, which presents carbon pricing trends through the lens of their current and potential contribution to scale up climate and development finance through carbon revenues.
