Why Price Carbon
Carbon Tax Policies
Carbon pricing is an instrument that captures the external costs of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions—the costs of emissions that the public pays for, such as damage to crops, health care costs from pollution, and loss of property from, fires flooding and sea level rise—and ties them to their sources through a price, usually in the form of a price on the carbon dioxide (CO2) or CO2 equivalents emitted.Climate Countdown

How Do Carbon Markets Work?
The Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University SIPA
