| Résumé : | Back cover: We are in the midst of a process of unprecedented climate change, which is already wrecking severe damage to the livelihoods of billions around the globe. Greenhouse gas emissions around the globe should be reduced as fast as possible and reach net zero in the second half of the 21st century. To ensure that the world’s climate goals are met, effective policies must be implemented. The golden prescription of economists is to price carbon uniformly across the globe and compensate any losers, but the reality of implementing climate policies is fraught with pragmatic and political obstacles which differ from country to country. The aim of this eBook is therefore to offer contributions to each of the featured nations’ debates over the climate change policies to fast track. Which policies will have the fastest and/or largest cumulative impact? Which ones are the most technically or financially feasible? Which are least likely to hit prohibitive political economy obstacles to their implementation? Which ones are cheapest in abating emissions? Despite several common themes addressed in the 18 chapters on individual countries, the separate chapter on the Green Deal for the European Union, and the three chapters dealing with cross-country broader issues such as feebates, border tax adjustments and transfers, the specific answers to the posed questions often differ by country depending on climate policies already in place, political constraints the country’s geography, and so on. This implies that one country can learn from the debates taking place in another. The detailed appraisals found in the chapters of this book aim at inspiring policymakers. The arsenal of policies to achieve net zero emissions is rich and varied, and any delay in implementing these will lead to much higher costs. There is no sound reason to delay climate action. |
