Executive summary State and Trends of Carbon Pricing 2022Executive summary CARBON PRICING CAN PROVIDE THE IMPETUS FOR ECONOMIC TRANSFORMATION AND RECOVERY • More ambitious carbon prices can help close the gap between pledges and policy and “keep 1.5 alive.” • Along with lowering emissions, carbon pricing can improve energy and industrial efficiency, limit reliance on imported energy, promote cleaner air, protect and regenerate landscapes, and provide a valuable source of government revenue. • But adopting carbon prices remains politically challenging, particularly amid rising inflation and energy prices. There is a clear need to ensure policies are fair, effective, and embedded within integrated climate and social policies.Executive summary DIRECT CARBON PRICING CONTINUES TO BE ADOPTED BUT GLOBAL COVERAGE REMAINS LOW • Worldwide, 68 carbon pricing instruments (CPIs), including taxes and emissions trading systems (ETSs), are operating and three more are scheduled for implementation. • CPIs in operation cover approximately 23% of total global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This represents a small increase in total global coverage as a result of four new systems commencing in the past year. • The International Maritime Organization is considering placing a price on emissions from international shipping activities. If adopted, this would represent a major step in tackling global GHG emissions.Executive summary MAP OF CARBON TAXES AND EMISSIONS TRADING SYSTEMS ETS implemented or scheduled for implementation Carbon tax implemented or scheduled for implementation ETS and carbon tax implemented or scheduled ETS implemented or scheduled, carbon tax under consideration Carbon tax implemented or scheduled, ETS under consideration ETS or carbon tax under consideration Indonesia Singapore Brunei South Africa Botswana New Zealand Mexico Kazakhstan Pakistan Canada Thailand Vietnam Malaysia Turkey EU China Colombia Chile Senegal Brazil Côte d’Ivoire Morocco Israel Iceland Argentina Uruguay California Japan Republic of Korea Norway UK Sweden Spain Romania Portugal Poland Netherlands Ukraine Lithuania Latvia Italy Ireland Greece Germany France Finland Estonia Denmark Bulgaria Belgium Luxembourg Liechtenstein Catalonia Slovenia Austria Switzerland Hungary Serbia Montenegro Sakhalin Oregon Jalisco Hawaii Washington Taiwan, China Shenyang Tokyo Tianjin Shenzhen Shanghai Saitama Hubei Guangdong (except Shenzhen) Fujian Chongqing Beijing Zacatecas Tamaulipas Pennsylvania Massachusetts Baja California TCI RGGI Manitoba Saskatchewan Québec Ontario Nova Scotia Alberta Prince Edward Island Northwest Territories Newfoundland and Labrador New Brunswick British Columbia Carbon pricing initiatives are considered “scheduled for implementation” once they have been formally adopted through legislation and have an official, planned start date. Carbon pricing initiatives are considered “under consideration” if the government has announced its intention to work towards the implementation of a carbon pricing initiative and this has been formally confirmed by official government sources. TCI refers to Transportation and Climate Initiative. RGGI refers to the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative.Executive summary Spain Latvia Poland Uruguay* Netherlands Argentina* United Kingdom Colombia Chile Switzerland Denmark* France Portugal Finland* Sweden Ireland* Slovenia Iceland Norway* Luxembourg* Ukraine Singapore South Africa Liechtenstein Canada** Switzerland RGGI United Kingdom Germany EU ETS Kazakhstan New Zealand Rep. of Korea 0 20 40 60 80 100 120 140 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% Carbon price USD/tCO2e Carbon tax ETS Share of GHG emissions covered in the jurisdiction Bubble size represents absolute covered total greenhouse gas emissions. *For CPIs that have multiple price levels, the price applying to the larger share of emissions is used. **This is a composite presentation representing total emissions covered by carbon pricing instruments under the Pan-Canadian Framework.
