#31 A Cautious Case for Climate Optimism: The Increase in Carbon Pricing
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, I cover why you can likely be a bit more optimistic about climate change than you currently because of three reasons: increase in the coverage of emissions by carbon pricing, the increase in average carbon price, and developments like CBAM.
This episode is based on the World Bank Report "State and Trends of Carbon Pricing 2026", available at https://www.worldbank.org/en/publication/state-and-trends-of-carbon-pricing
