Who Supports a Price on Carbon? Scientists, economists, Mayors, businesses, and 3 out of 4 Americans, to name a few.

A carbon tax becomes affordable for ordinary Americans when the money collected from fossil fuel companies is given as a dividend, or “carbon cash back” payment, to every American to spend with no restrictions.

Want to get our elected officials' attention in a more unique way than our usual human volunteers? CCL also organizes protests of snowmen—they're also affected by climate change! Learn more at cclusa.org/snowman, and join us on Discord (from the link in our bio) to get involved with one here!

EU CBAM enters new phase, further advancing carbon pricing The EU’s carbon border adjustment mechanism, or CBAM, entered a new phase on Oct. 1. The policy encourages other countries to decarbonize.

We've been talking about carbon border adjustment mechanisms — CBAMs — since the earliest days of our carbon pricing advocacy.

Here's a blog post from 2023 that goes a little deeper into this policy idea and its potential impact in the United States:

The EU’s CBAM enters a New Phase: Why the EU’s Carbon Border Tax Matters CBAM is now fully operational.

Major #carbonpricing news this month:

The EU has "fully implement[ed] a functioning border carbon adjustment policy."

In order to trade certain goods with Europe, "importers must now pay for the greenhouse gas emissions contained on their products."
