Material type:
TextPublication details: Paris Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development 2022Description: 92pSubject(s): Online resources: Summary: This paper assesses the role of carbon pricing in a sustainable recovery from COVID-19. It tracks the
policy changes in carbon pricing within OECD and G20 countries between January 2020 and August 2021
of the COVID-19 pandemic. Carbon pricing as defined here includes emissions trading schemes, fossil
fuel support and carbon, fuel excise or aviation taxes. The paper also highlights the need for the recovery
to be sustainable and discusses the advantages, limitations and uses of carbon pricing therein. In addition,
it describes additional challenges to as well as increased rationale for carbon pricing in the pandemic. It
provides evidence on the effects of carbon pricing on the challenges and discusses carbon pricing design
elements to help overcome those challenges. The paper concludes that there were more policy changes
with an expected negative impact on climate. However, it is likely that the impact of the climate-positive
changes – which are broader in coverage and scope - will outweigh the climate-negative changes
