This matches lots of things @michaelhlerner.bsky.social, I and others mapped in our World Bank study on CO2 pricing in GS: openknowledge.worldbank.org/server/api/c... Our expert interviews/surveys also say that in emerging economies CO2 trading is top choice but issues of public acceptability bite

Despite political distractions, the first 100 days of #climatechange governance under the #Labour government has gone (surprisingly) well! How so? I explain in my new post on the @lsegovernment.bsky.social blog (+ other excellent contributions by @lauraserra.bsky.social & Prof. Tony Travers)

New #WorldBank report! While the politics of #carbonpricing involve compromises and accommodations, real-world experiences show it can be a powerful, powerful, and politically feasible tool for accelerating #decarbonization in developing countries. openknowledge.worldbank.org/entities/pub...
