Boyce, J. K., Ash, M., Ranalli, B.,(2023). “Environmental Justice and Carbon Pricing: Can They Be Reconciled?” Global Challenges 7, 2200204. https://doi.org/10.1002/gch2.202200204

Abstract: Carbon pricing has been criticized by environmental justice advocates on the grounds that it fails to reduce emissions significantly, fails to reduce the disproportionate impacts of hazardous co-pollutants on people of color and low-income communities, hits low-income households harder than wealthier households, and commodifies nature. Designing carbon pricing policy to address these concerns can yield outcomes that are both more effective and more equitable.
