Reposted by Pablo RosadoOur World in Data @ourworldindata.org · 10/08/202630% of the world’s CO₂ emissions have a carbon price. What we pay for something in a shop often doesn’t reflect its true cost. Producing goods causes damage through carbon emissions that drive climate change, but the receipts for that damage rarely show up in the price. 3498

Pablo Rosado @pablorosado.com · 22/06/2026Environmentalists, climate scientists and economists disagree about many things. But they tend to agree on one thing: those who emit greenhouse gases should pay for the damage they cause. In this new article, we looked at how much carbon price people are actually paying. 041

Pablo Rosado @pablorosado.com · 10/06/2025Thank you! I'll try to fix this one on our end. To briefly answer your question: in almost all cases (except if stated otherwise in the chart) income groups follow the latest World Bank classification at the time of publication. So, they are fixed in time. 110
Pablo Rosado @pablorosado.com · 10/06/2025Thanks @benbarclay.bsky.social and @dvschroeder.bsky.social! I believe the 2023 sudden change might indeed be an artifact.
