This working paper by WRI<\/strong> is the first in a series examining the concept of making emitters pay for the carbon pollution<\/strong> they produce. As the title suggests, the Handbook sets out the lay of the land around the different carbon-pricing models – such as cap-and-trade<\/strong> and carbon taxes<\/strong> – and can be used as a \u201chow-to\u201d guide for what to consider when designing a carbon-pricing policy.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been nearly six years since comprehensive climate legislation passed either house of Congress. In the absence of Congressional action, the Obama administration<\/strong> has proposed a number of measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions<\/strong> across the economy. While WRI analysis shows that these measures can help the United States<\/strong> meet its near- and medium-term climate goals, existing legal authorities are insufficient for meeting long-term emissions-reduction targets. A policy that puts a price on greenhouse gas emissions could be just the ticket.<\/p>\n

Research shows that curbing climate change<\/strong> and growing the economy<\/strong> can and must go hand-in-hand. A well-designed carbon price can help the United States achieve its climate goals while improving economic efficiency and fostering growth.<\/p>\n

Putting a price on carbon would tackle several issues faced by current policy-makers, such as a slow economic growth, a rising pollution or the impact of climate change. This multi-faceted solution should be seriously considered by the US authorities, following a new handbook by the World Resources Institute (WRI).<\/p>","content_link":"
