| description |
This paper provides a primer on the
fiscal implications of climate change, in particular the
policies for responding to it. Many of the complicated
challenges that arise in limiting climate change (through
greenhouse gas emissions mitigation), and in dealing with
the effects that remain (through adaptation to climate
change impacts), are of a fiscal nature. While mitigation
has the potential to raise substantial public revenue
(through charges on greenhouse gas emissions), adaptation
largely leads to fiscal outlays. Policies may unduly favor
public spending (on technological solutions to limit
emissions, and on adaptation), over policies that lead to
more public revenue being raised (emissions charges). The
pervasive uncertainties that surround climate change make
the design of proper policy responses even more complex.
This applies especially to policies for mitigation of
emissions, since agreement on and international enforcement
of cooperative abatement policies are exceedingly difficult
to achieve, and there is as yet no common view on how to
compare nearer-term costs of mitigation to longer-term benefits. |
