Effective Carbon Rates 2021 is the most detailed and comprehensive account of how 44 OECD and G20 countries – responsible for around 80% of global carbon emissions – price carbon emissions from energy use. The effective carbon rate is the sum of tradeable emission permit prices, carbon taxes and fuel excise taxes, all of which result in a price on carbon emissions (Figure 1). This brochure summarises the main results of the report Effective Carbon Rates 2021.
