How to get carbon taxes right
Dear Friend,?
A carbon tax is often hailed as a clear-cut, market-savvy approach to drive emissions reductions, yet its true impact hinges on meticulous design and execution. However, there's no universal blueprint, and navigating this complex policy landscape is far from simple. This month in our Insights article, we take a deeper look at carbon taxes; from success stories like Sweden, to backlash in Canada and the notion of free-riders, to tips for developing countries.
This October a new administration was sworn in Indonesia. There is wave of cautious optimism about the potential to unlock the nascent carbon market and open up to international investors. In our exclusive Q&A series, we engaged with Just Alexander Halim, an Indonesian attorney, to explore the intricacies of administrative disputes in carbon projects, and anticipate the promising future that lies ahead under this new leadership.?
To round out this month's edition, we are delighted to share a series of short, summary reports from our going series of in-person carbon market workshops in Jakarta, giving you unique, local insight into the topics that matter.
