Input to the Talanoa Dialogue: Scaling up carbon pricing for inclusive and effective climate action

Carbon Market Watch advocates for the application of the polluter-pays principle through robust carbon pricing that avoids free permits, offsets, and fossil fuel subsidies. The organization proposes using carbon pricing revenues to support the most vulnerable communities, ensuring a fair distribution of mitigation costs.

• Current measurements of development and prosperity are biased, leading to the prioritization of polluting activities because their social and environmental impacts are not correctly priced, which effectively grants subsidies to polluters that burden society and vulnerable groups.
• To incentivize an economy-wide transition to low-carbon processes, greenhouse gas emissions must be priced using robust policies that eliminate excessive protections, including high caps in emissions trading systems, free allocation of permits, carbon offsets, and fossil fuel subsidies.
• Correctly implemented carbon pricing can reduce global inequality by ensuring large emitters take responsibility for their actions and by utilizing revenues to assist the poorest and most vulnerable communities during the transition.
