Endorse the Economists’ Statement on Carbon Pricing by signing it!

The Policy Outreach Committee (POC) of the European Association of Environmental and Resource Economists (EAERE) prepared a statement on carbon pricing to be proposed for endorsement to the whole community of economists in Europe and worldwide. The statement has already been signed by all POC members and all EAERE Council. It aims to convey the European perspective on carbon pricing and to draw the attention of policy-makers to its importance as a key instrument, even though not the only one, to achieve the future de-carbonization targets.
