What is carbon pricing?
Carbon pricing is a way to make polluters pay for their emissions, usually through a 'carbon tax' or an 'emissions trading system' (ETS). The idea is to incentivise businesses to reduce their carbon footprint by making it more expensive to pollute. The money raised can fund green projects or offset other taxes.
