Abstract: While national governments pledged to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions under the Paris Agreement, delivering on these aims will require significant changes in the activities of major sources of emissions such as companies. To drive such changes, companies will need to consider carbon emissions as a cost of production and many companies have begun doing so through internal carbon pricing. By employing data from the Carbon Disclosure Project, we evaluate how national carbon pricing policies influence firm-level internal carbon pricing and corporate emission targets. We find that firm-level internal carbon prices are significantly higher in countries explicitly pricing carbon through tax and/or cap-and-trade programs. These findings shed light on how companies are factoring climate change in their decision-making and on the drivers that can contribute to the generalization of climate pricing in the economy.

国家气候政策和企业内部碳定价

摘要:虽然各国政府承诺根据《巴黎协定》减少温室气体排放,但实现这些目标将需要对公司等主要排放源的活动进行重大改变。为了推动这种变化,公司需要将碳排放视为生产成本,许多公司已经开始通过内部碳定价来这样做。通过使用碳披露项目的数据,我们评估了国家碳定价政策如何影响公司层面的内部碳定价和企业排放目标。我们发现,在通过税收和/或限额与交易计划明确为碳定价的国家中,企业层面的内部碳价格要高得多。
