Third Report of the Citizens' Assembly: Discussion (Resumed)

Professor Sonia Seneviratne:
I am not an economist or a politician but I know that in Canada, for instance, a CO2 tax has been introduced. It seems promising because it is a CO2 tax where money is given back to the population. Some type of transfer mechanism is needed to encourage production which does not lead to high CO2 emissions.
