India Faces Pressure to Adopt Carbon Tax as Climate Policies Prove Insufficient
The article discusses how India deals with climate change using sector-specific policies instead of carbon taxes or emission trading systems. These policies have helped towards set targets, but they don't generate revenue and may not lower overall costs. Other countries have carbon taxes or trading to reduce emissions. To match the global goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 °C, India might need to adopt these systems soon or face border taxes from developed countries.
