From Citizens Climate Lobby:
Last week, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released the latest section of its Sixth Assessment Report summarizing the latest scientific research on climate change impacts, adaptation, and vulnerabilities. In this report, the IPCC makes several mentions of carbon pricing and the positive impact that it would have on the reduction of greenhouse gases.
CCL’s Research Coordinator Dana Nuccitelli breaks down the IPCC report. “As CCL volunteers are well aware, coupling dividends with carbon pricing is an important measure to ensure that low- and middle-income households do not bear the financial brunt of the policy. On this point, the IPCC report also agrees with CCL.”
The report also acknowledges that many other countries are already implementing a carbon price and that a carbon price can spark innovation for clean, new technologies.
