Advocating for Climate Incentive System (CIS), the best policy instrument to price GHG emissions & assure a just transition. #CIS is simple, fair & effective.

A way to change #ClimateFinance? #EmissionPricing with #CBAM. Products from countries with no/lower pricing are adjusted by the importer. If this is done by a developed country importing from a developing country, part of the funds a used as climate finance. #mechanism #now
About the #G7, and how the fossil and climate finance debates are connected: Developed countries have failed to meet the goal of delivering $100bn/yr in #climatefinance for developing countries between 2020-25. Funding reached ~$80bn in 2019, of which ~$66bn was public. 1/4

Sure they will! Let's do our utmost to feedback our way to 1.5C, and no more. Policy: Emission Pricing Approach: Math right on #climate, price all, disburse all income to households in equal amounts Opinion: 60% net benefit #now nature.com/articles/d41586-0…
Good to see #emissionpricing and border adjustments discussed in mainstream publications such as @Forbes. Of course we need to get the math right on #climate. Obviously the @UNFCCC process is not providing 1.5C compatible results. #Kudos @KayaAxelsson! forbes.com/sites/davidrvette…

And again! "Existing estimates of optimal climate policy ignore the possibility that carbon tax revenues could be used in a progressive way; model results therefore typically imply that near-term climate action comes at some cost to the poor." #climateincome #climateincentive

And another piece of evidence just out via @Nature. Of course, dear scientists, it's 1.5C and not 2C we must meet. And communication-wise, 'climate income' (or 'climate incentive') is better than 'carbon tax and equal per capita dividend'. nature.com/articles/s41558-0…

Watch Al Gore's latest TED talk if you need further convincing #climateaction. Note what was possible as part of global #covid19response, and extrapolate. And if you doubt there is political will for all of this, mark the words of…lnkd.in/dWyArBgq lnkd.in/dbidTtdn

Yep. Keep it up @UniofOxford! #Kudos @MariaChiaraPao1 & @RickvdPloeg You both may want to check us out - we're promoting this very emission pricing instrument. Comment: Recycling via social security is ok. Best way: Direct cash payments, digitally. voxeu.org/article/recycling-…
Don't like. Quite obviously done with a focus on the green & light blue areas. The emission reduction curve doesn't even get a mention. Its decline from 50 in 2010 to 20 by 2050 is insufficient to say the least. Bottom line: Grey must be zero (or very close) by 2050. #RaceToZero
This is an important clarification. As is "carbon neutral" vs "net zero" vs "net negative". Great visual here from @southpoleglobal
Emission pricing 2021 has 2 main objectives: 1. Set the right prices (internalising externalities, for everyone, science-based) 2. Finance a just transition (political feasibility, moral justice) To achieve both, there's no better instrument than #ClimateIncome (fee/disbursement)
This is an interesting analysis of @AdairTurnerUK of @ProSyn. But please take note of how to best put a #priceonemissions - not with a #tax but with #climatincome. prosyn.org/S6ydhse
Uff, @Forbes on pricing emissions, no easy read. 'background' section includes more questions than answer, and excludes lessons learnt on pricing instrument design. The voice against the tax (from @Heritage, Koch brothers) is, well, fossil. #ClimateIncome forbes.com/sites/taxnotes/20…
Yes, good. But please 'emission pricing'. All GHG need to get to zero. Let's be clear, on terminology and action. #ClimateIncome
It’s been a good week for carbon pricing, by @MESandbu "The closer you get to a single public carbon price across the economy the easier it will be to reduce emissions ...and to foster technological development" ft.com/content/ec1f32da-0ae9… @financialtimes

Yep. Unfortunately. Meaningful #climateaction started late and the decarbonisation pathway will thus be bumpy. #climateincome @iciaorg lnkd.in/dWcmbjy
